My dog was seriously injured at Dogwood last February. He required veterinary services, and the kennel had no way to get him there. I had to return from an out-of-state trip. When I was shown site of the injury, there was barely groom for the two of us. My large Irish Setter and GSD had been housed in it. The owner, Jim, had no idea how long my Setter had been hanging by his rear legs in the broken door.
Tobias (Toby) was very happy with his stay at Dogwood Kennels. He even went back to say goodbye to his caretaker. We are pleased with the care he receives when we have to board him.
I can’t say enough how much we love this place but most of all, our Rusty Renae. We trust these places to take care of our kids. No parent enjoys dropping them off either, we worry they aren’t getting attention, good care and fed properly, as we all probably feed our dogs different. We trusted another kennel in town once who fed our dog their food or not at all because her bag came back full. We could tell that she wasn’t happy. Long story short,, this place is the BEST! Can’t say it enough. Our girl loves the owner, gets excited to go there! If you are that dog Mom, THIS IS the place to go!
I will not be taking our pup back here again - we left a 20lb bag of food and were given back 16.5lb back of it…. after an 8 day stay. A 70lb lab should have eaten more than 3.5lbs of food in 8 days he stayed there. He got no exercise and was extremely anxious and wanting to run around when we picked him up. It doesn’t look like there is anywhere for the dogs to run and play, just kennels. Also he came back looking skinny and weighing in at 65lbs - that’s 5lbs less than when we dropped him off a week prior. We left specific instructions to give one scoop of food in the morning and one in the afternoon and it looks like they took it upon themselves to portion his food. When we got home and fed him he chowed down his whole bowl of food, and then was given more that he ate half of. They starved my dog because they couldn’t follow simple instructions on how to feed him, I wonder how poorly they feed all the other dogs. I don’t even want to think about how they treat them. The instructions we left were not unreasonable or hard to understand. I do not recommend this place at all.
I was always afraid to board my dogs because I love them like my children (I have three large dogs). They have been to Dogwood Lodge several times over the last few years, and every time, my dogs are happy to go there, which tells me they are well taken care of during their stay. I would recommend Dogwood Lodge to friends, family, or anyone looking for somewhere to safely board their furry friends. I will continue using Dogwood Lodge any time I need to leave my dogs for any duration of time. Dogwood Lodge is the best!
Very clean and friendly place. My 3 dogs loved their stay!
