I rarely ever leave a review but I had to, to warn other customers of my recent experience…read more I have been boarding my dogs for a couple years now at Keshlyn Kennel and they have always been super amazing at taking care of my 2 small dogs until recently. I tried to board my dogs for 5 days in August 2025 and was told that they are no longer boarding dogs 12 years and older. This policy isn't located anywhere on their website. I honestly feel and believe that they are discriminating against myself and my dogs because they recently stayed for 2 weeks in July 2025 with no issues other than having to put padding on the walls due one of my dogs being blind. I have spent literally thousands of dollars here and have been a loyal respectful customer for years. BEWARE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH CARE FOR YOUR DOGS WHILE OUT OF TOWN DO NOT USE THEM. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN RULES AND POLICIES AND THEY ARE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY CUSTOMER/DOG.

Oh wow! I am already excited about leaving my cat here. Look at the star review on this place!…read more So I am looking to move my crazy kitten, Wilde, soon to be a cat and he is still non neutered. There are limited amount of places who will take a non neutered male and I am so glad that this place is one of them. Their boarding process is easy as a new client. Fill out some forms and have your pet's medical records on your phone or documented. CON: THEY DO NOT ALLOW FOR EXTENDED STAYS. I want to leave my pile of fur and claws there for a month, visiting every two weeks and the representative stated that "The best you could do is leave him for two weeks and then take him for two days and then bring him back for another two weeks." Suggestion: I wish they would allow vets to fax over or email over pet medical records. I went to actually check this place out today in person and it seems like there is a lot going on. It definitely feels like it is in a rural part of Lexington, if that makes sense. I do not like the back roads I have to take to get here. Tates Creek also bisects the road to this location, but it is down like two lanes (one coming and one going).

Seems to be a common theme.. I picked my senior dog up after only two nights there and she was…read morefilthier and smellier than she's ever been in her life. It smells and looks like she's been laying in her own urine. I board her very regularly but the normal one was full, she has NEVER came home smelling or looking like this even after a week of kenneling. The smell was so strong I couldnt stand having my windows up or down, it just blew it around. I called and they did offer me a refund but I'm terrified she's going to follow suit of the other reviews and be sick. They offered to give her a bath if I brought her back which I kindly declined. I would not trust them with her again. She attempted to blame the smell on the fact it had rained but this isn't wet dog smell, it's pure urine. And on another note - they do not leash dogs when you drop them off or pick them up. It seemed odd when I dropped her off that I had to insist the girl leave a leash on because she wouldn't follow her without it. Then when I picked her up, a giant huskie was let out into the lobby completely unrestrained. This isn't safe and it's not appropriate. There could have been children, or other dogs, or anything that would make for a dangerous situation with an unknown and very large dog. I would NEVER recommend taking your pet here.

We will not be using Hickman Creek again. We took our Goldendoodle, Riley, for a week during our…read morespring break trip to Florida. She had not been feeling well prior to going, but our veterinarian said it was gastroenteritis and prescribed medication, telling us that the kennel could administer the meds and she would be fine. As another reviewer said, she was supposed to have been given a bath on the day of pickup, and we were charged for the bath, but she smelled awful and was visibly dirty and greasy to the touch. We had to take her directly from the kennel to the pet store to give her a bath, with the kids complaining the whole way about how terrible she smelled. The hair on top of her head was so matted that it couldn't be brushed, and I had to trim it down to the skin. She has several other spots that we will have to let the groomer take care of once the hair on her head grows out enough to take her. My wife later called and was assured that she did, indeed, have a bath that morning. The medicine had instructions on the bottle and we verbally gave the employee the instructions when we dropped her off. She was to be given the medication until it was gone, which would have happened toward the end of the week. When we arrived, after they tried to give us the WRONG DOG, they gave us the medication bottle back and it still had pills left. After getting her home, it became clear that she was still not well. We took her back to our vet for an additional $250, where she was diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis and prescribed more of the same medication. After administering the medication properly, she is now back to her old self.

This grooming studio is an absolute treasure! The owner is incredibly kind and talented!…read more I'm new to the area and taking my elderly Shih Tzu in for grooming to a new place made me very nervous. He's pretty wobbly but we've been so lucky to find wonderful groomers. Due to Covid restrictions, she met me just outside the front door at my appointment time. We talked for a few minutes while she checked out my little guy. Then she scooped him up and said ok, he'll be ready in two hours. She texted a little while later to confirm the price and the time to pick him up. When I got there, he looked gorgeous and smelled delicious!! He was a little tired from the experience but so alert. I can tell that he feels like a million bucks since his haircut. I absolutely love that the grooming is by appointment, he's there by himself and cared for from start to finish by the owner.

She called me when he was finished and gave me some tips about his skin since I was a new dog owner. My dog was so happy and looked great when I picked him up. Very reasonably priced as well. Her studio was clean. She is great at what she does. I told her a friend recommended her shop and she asked who, I showed her a picture of my friends dog and she knew his name immediately just from the picture. She really loves what she does and cares for the dogs. I'll be a customer for years to come!

I took my golden retriever to Pet Paws a few weekends ago for a dog wash after my roommate…read morerecommended it to me. Since it was my first time going, the owner Phyllis gave me the rundown: there are three self serve tubs with different shampoos and condtioners. The tubs are raised and have a hose, which is nice, so you can easily stand while you give your dog a bath. Pet Paws is $15-per-dog, the price isn't contingent on time- a good deal for bigger dogs, maybe not as much for smaller ones. They also have a dryer station with different brushes for after the wash. What I like about Pet Paws is the convenience- its nice to be able to wash your dog and not have to deal with the "clean up" afterward- cleaning up the tub and washing the towels- all that jazz. Definitely will be back to Pet Paws!
