    Me and my youngest baby son KJ
    Deanna S.

    We love this place! They not only do they provide excellent care and loves from the staff, to whom are super accommodating and actually affordable! We have been taking our Doberman since we moved here and he was still a puppy. He stays for a couple days to "Go Party" with his friends and just go bananas! He loves it! I love when I pick him up, he's so happy and tired! I can tell he partied hard because he always has a "Doggy Hangover" for the most part of 2 days after! I HIGHLY recommend bringing your fur babies to go party and be doted on by the amazing staff. Love that they also groom him before I pick him up. DON'T forget to tip the staff well! They go above and beyond. Thanks guys! Deanna, Kev, Killer and KJ

    Please do not board your dog here! I paid over the phone for one week of boarding and doggie daycare every day) before dropping my great Dane off for the week. When I dropped him off they wanted me to pay again and when I picked him up they had no record of me paying and again asked for payment. I don't think he did anything but lay in the kennel all week. When I picked him up he acted sad and traumatized- barely looked at me and bolted for the door. His elbows were completely singed like he layed on hot concrete the whole time even though I gave them his really thick bed. He's still not eaten or wanted to do anything other than sleep four days later.

    Happy Pups that had a great time at A VIP!

    Left my dogs here for 2.5 days this past weekend and as always they were well cared for! Right now due to COVID-19 they are bathing all dogs before they go home which is awesome and so considerate! Also FIY any pick up after noon is charged an additional day. Thank you for being reliable and taking such good care of our babies!

    Maui after I took him to the vet for his injury
    Valerie C.

    KEEP YOUR FUR BABIES AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!! I regret leaving my baby here for the ONE day I left him here!! Who knows what would've happened if I would have left him here longer (I had it scheduled for 5 days originally because I was going out of town for work). I dropped him off right before they closed and I had a bad gut feeling because I saw another dog being dropped off (the dog had been there before based on what the owner said to the person working there) and the dog looked scared and didn't want to go with the guy working there. But I just figured the dog was sad and didn't want to be away from the owners. After I left I couldn't stop thinking about it and later that night I started looking up reviews and was HORRIFIED. I saw ALL the pictures of severe injuries and the owners accounts of dogs coming home emaciated, skittish, traumatized, covered in feces!!!! HOW ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS???? Why isn't something being done about this and them being investigated?? I immediately wanted to go get Maui but they were closed. I worried all night. But in the morning it dawned on me that I don't need to wait until their opening hours I could bang on the door and tell them I need Maui now. I went at 6am and I managed to find someone in the front outside and I just told them "its an emergency and I need to get my dog now". They let me take Maui and we left asap. As I was driving home I noticed one of his nails was completely ripped off and bloody. I thought this could be from scratching...but how would that make sense if his other nails are perfectly fine only the ONE "thumb" nail is completely ripped off. I truly hope it was just from scratching and that nothing happened to him like all the other people on here have had happen to their dogs. I took him to the vet immediately and he had to get sedated and his wound cared for and put on antibiotics. He was also EXTREMELY thirsty after just the one day. Which makes me suspect that they didn't give him water because it was so extreme he was licking the outside of a water bottle and when I gave him water he drank sooo much. I regret not looking at these reviews earlier...before I left him there. Please be careful and don't take your baby here and risk them being injured or traumatized!!!!!! Thank you to the others on here that are warning about this place for others to protect their pups. I would have probably kept him there at that terrible place if I hadn't seen all these reviews, so I just wanted to contribute to warn others.

    Inflamed paws

    If I could give zero stars I would. Under no circumstance should you board your animals at this facility. This post is a bit of a long read, but this is what we've brought up with the owner. After multiple attempts he refuses to respond to our calls / emails and will not take any action to make things right. At drop off on December 26th, both dogs were left with food from home and the staff was instructed to feed a certain amount. When we returned on 1-5-2023 we instantly noticed that Loki was much fatter around the stomach than he was at drop off. Before leaving all we were told was that Loki had diarrhea. We took the dogs home and immediately took them out for bathroom breaks. As Loki went into the rocks in the yard he was walking with a significant limp. He then found a spot and had diarrhea that was purely liquid 4 times. I attempted to give him pumpkin to settle his stomach but he would not eat. We also realized that his stomach was very hard. Meanwhile, Emi was excessively licking her paws and I noticed they were inflamed and she was limping as well. We then decided to take both dogs to the vet to be checked out. On the way to the vet Loki threw up a large amount of food. When we arrived at the vet Loki was taken straight back and the vet informed us that he vomited up an excessive amount of ingesta (dog food) then multiple times of bile. This leads me to believe that Loki was either left to free feed or staff fed him more than what we instructed. As a result of his excessive vomiting, Loki was hospitalized overnight & our vet informed us that he was showing foreign metallic or mineral looking deposits in his stomach that are inconsistent with his diet. His paws were also inflamed. Emi was treated for the inflammation that was in between the pads on all 4 paws. My final concern lies in the possibility that the staff used unauthorized and aggressive training collars on our dogs. When we dropped off the dogs the staff brought back our collar and leashes after they took the dogs back. When we got home and opened Emi's food container a metal pinch collar was found. I cannot think of one reason why this collar should have been anywhere near my dogs, let alone left inside her food container. At no point did the staff at A VIP Pet Resort call us to let us know our dogs were injured or sick. We paid for our dogs to stay in a dry climate controlled room, but based on the condition of our dogs when we picked them up I do not believe that was the case. They also bathed both our dogs without our consent and the dog bed we left was also washed. Given that there are reviews that mention dogs that were covered in feces and considering the state of my dogs paws I believe they were not kept in a clean dry room like they should have been. Do your pet a favor and listen to all the reviews you read here! Your dogs ARE NOT in good care here.

    April & Misty acclimating to their resort...
    Gary E.

    When we got home from Amtrak's Sacramento Valley Station, we grabbed our set of ready to go luggage then hit the road for Vegas. We'd brought along our dog April and her pal Misty for the ride. They both spent an evening at a dear friend's house and the next day we checked them in here at A-Vip Pet Resort. Not being a local I passed up the main road to this place several times thanks to Garmin. After a few drive-bys I found it... The minute we parked, this place emitted a warm and welcome feeling. When we walked in, we were greeted by a nice gentlemen who was at the front counter. He gave us a run down on what the resort had to offer and what to expect. He got acquainted with our dogs while we filled out the paperwork. Soon enough we all headed for the kennels. The kennels come in different sizes and are "roomy" whether you have a large or a small breed dog. There's a roofed and shaded area to protect them from the elements and also a dog run. Each kennel section area was separated by a fence for each others protection. Though they provide dog food (chicken & beef) during the stay free of charge, you have the option of bringing your own dog food. However, they do not allow you to bring your own bowls, which they'll provide. April and Misty happily shared a kennel. We brought a pillow, a blanket and their favorite toys. During our visits we'd see how eager dogs wanted to rush in. I gather these were the regulars for doggy day care. I even watched an owner get pulled by her dog on a leash. The dogs were greeted by name as they checked in which was pretty cool! For thirty-five dollars a day for accommodations, food and overall care we felt it was a steal! Besides doggy day care & boarding they also offered pet training and pet grooming services (we had their nails trimmed). Did I forget to mention you can check in your cats too? That's right... Prior to checking in your pets make sure that they are "kennel ready" meaning they're up to date with the latest required vaccination(s). Call the resort and your vet for more details. We're very happy and glad that we've found this place thanks to Yelpers! Next time in Vegas our dogs will be back. Great customer service and just minutes away from the strip!...

    My dog lost so much weight during the 4 days he was boarded there.

    I'm a bit iffy on this place. Why? So I have been to a few of the daycares around town. There's a…read moreparticular style of daycare that I don't find to be very stimulating for dogs and this place kind of fits that format. While it is convenient for me, when I watch the cameras, it looks like the dogs are just wandering around like zombies. Usually other daycares have more interaction with staff. There's maybe one staff member to like 15 or 20 dogs. The other thing is I'm not entirely sure they actually understand dog behavior. Because a lot of the dogs are restless and have zero structure, they don't have great socializing manners. My dog is an intelligent breed who will correct dogs who are rude or in his face and it gets tiring for him if he's doing that more than the staff. So when they told me that they had put him away because he was air nipping at dogs, that was strange. I've never had a report of him having behavior issues. Now if they had told me he seemed tired and needed to be to decompressed, that's fine. Maybe it was the staff's wording. And why she needed to report it to me I don't know because that's just a normal part of daycare and dog behavior. So after reading the reviews I did see instances in which dogs that are being aggressive to begin with or annoying aren't being corrected and then when the dog goes to correct them, which is dog etiquette, the dog who asserts boundaries to protect themselves gets punished? That to me shows a lack of understanding about dog behavior. I've watched the webcams at other daycares, and staff know how to separate dogs or to keep things from escalating and know when it's appropriate to put a dog away in a crate for a little time without making the dog feel bad or without making the owner think there's some big issue. I'm trying to gauge whether he actually likes going here. He comes home tired but not looking happy. And whenever we go there in the morning, he tends to whine, which he doesn't do at the other locations we've been. So this one will probably start getting rotated out of his daycare choices for the week. But on the positive side, I do like that they have a little events for the dogs or special treats and get your permission. I just don't feel very confident that it's anything more than just like a room full of dogs all walking around in circles. Like at least interact with them a little bit? Maybe add another counselor or two per group? Make me feel like everybody is taking classes about dog behavior and understand different dog breeds and how dogs are meant to interact? Also the webcam never seems to work very well. I'll watch on the phone or don't even try to watch on the laptop and it goes in and out but at least they have a webcam because barx parx doesn't. And there may be people and dogs who love this place or love the locations in other parts of Las Vegas but for intelligent breeds, I just don't think this place is very stimulating or matches well with his needs. Maybe this is just what happens when you take a bunch of dogs regardless of personality and throw them in together. Dogs have different play styles and some dogs are annoying to other dogs. But here, it just feels like a major free-for-all. The staff are mostly friendly, but maybe also communicating different things to the dog owners in a different way would have probably avoided me feeling less confident about this place because now I'm worried about who my dog is with during the day. If you don't know dogs, that's kind of concerning.... And I'm not seeing anything in my experience or my dog's reactions or through the webcam that makes me feel confident... And with that many dogs per one counselor, I can see where it would be easy for a dog to get hurt.

I completely understand that they were nervous in a new environment, but throughout the day, I repeatedly saw them sitting in the corner alone on the camera. I also never saw them drink water or go outside. Around 4:30 PM, I called to check on them and was told they had not had any water or used the restroom. I was then told they would try giving them water from a bottle, which left me wondering why that wasn't addressed earlier, especially after nearly seven hours. I left work immediately and came in because I simply wanted to see my dogs and make sure they were okay. While I understand I was frustrated, I was disappointed that my concerns felt secondary to explaining the situation and collecting payment. I was looking for accountability and reassurance, not excuses. I truly feel my dogs had a very stressful experience, and unfortunately, I will not be returning. This isn't about the $73. I would gladly pay for quality care. It's about feeling like I paid $73 for my dogs to spend the day frightened, isolated, and without adequate attention to their basic needs. I genuinely wish the situation had been handled differently.
