What Reviews Say
137 reviews analyzedWhat's Up Dog? is highly regarded for its premium retail selection, expert nutritional advice, and successful 'Board & Train' programs, particularly under trainer Tanner. While many vacationers praise the daycare for its convenience and photo updates, there are significant polarized views regarding the owner's communication style, which some find rude or dismissive. Serious concerns were raised in a few instances regarding grooming safety and post-boarding health, though the facility maintains a loyal local following for its community involvement and high-quality pet supplies.
