What Reviews Say
206 reviews analyzedWoofs and Wags presents a stark duality: the majority of reviews (approximately 75% are 5-star) praise the friendly staff, clean facility, and happy dogs, with many loyal customers using the service for years. However, a significant pattern of serious concerns emerges - multiple reviews describe dogs contracting kennel cough, returning with unexplained injuries or weight loss, and most alarmingly, at least one dog (Lucy) died after boarding with puncture wounds. The owner consistently responds defensively, denying allegations and questioning review authenticity. While many dogs genuinely thrive here, the severity of safety incidents (including animal control investigations) suggests potential risks that prospective customers should carefully weigh.

Worth noting
Dog death in facility (Lucy's case - multiple reviews mention)
โDays later Lucy died! Despite not wanting to take any ownership for the condition of our dog, they refunded the boarding fee which itself is an admission of guilt or wrongdoing...โ
Kennel cough outbreaks - multiple dogs infected
โMy dog definitely got kennel cough from here recently... They were nice when I called to check on my dog but the fact he got kennel cough is very upsetting.โ
Dog injuries/bite wounds from other dogs
โWhen I got my dog back home after a 5 day trip, I could feel scabs under his fur... He was clearly bitten.โ
Significant weight loss during boarding
โOur dog came back 20 pounds lighter and sick after a 9 day stay.โ
Dogs returned with urine-stained fur/poor hygiene
โWhen I was able to get a good look at my fur baby his paws and high legs was stained with pee... the stain yellow soak in his fur did not come off.โ
Open wounds on dogs not reported to owners
โIf there were open wounds on the pet (not found until after we picked our dog up and not reported to us) that should be reported immediately.โ
Kennel cough/illness after boarding(6 mentions)
โThey both have kennel cough and have some type of virus. They are barely eating and they where perfectly healthy before boarding at this place.โ
Poor communication/lack of updates(5 mentions)
โI called and requested pictures of course I never got them. The guy that answered the phone seem bothered by me calling.โ
Weight loss/feeding concerns(4 mentions)
โWhen I got him back he was skin and bones. Even though he claimed to have been feeding him he didn't contact me once to tell me about his condition.โ
Grooming issues (wrong cut, overcharging)(3 mentions)
โThey said ok and that they would call before grooming to discuss. They only called to say he was done... he had a doodle cut. I asked what the charge was and they billed me $70.โ
Dogs not taken out/neglect(3 mentions)
โI dont even look or smell like he was bathed/brushed since it apparently happened... hair was coming off of him in clumpsโ
