Our Tucker goes to Animal Tender regularly & have only the most wonderful things to say about them. Julianna is the most accommodating staff member! All employees have treated us with the upmost respect but Julia takes the prize! Thank you all for how well you take care of us. read more

We've been boarding (and grooming) our little Westie there for years. I have nothing negative to say about them whatsoever. read more

We've had great experiences bringing our dog here. He's an older (13 yrs olds) Dalmatian and not a lot of places will take a geriatric dog. They take him and almost all the staff shows up when he arrives. He gets tons of play time and fun with the other dogs. This time we booked him but we're unable to get a bath time on release BUT!! The staff texted us and said they noticed he didn't have a bath scheduled. They quickly and easily schedule a release bath and he was ready to go when we picked him up. We really enjoy this amazing pet resort thank you to the staff and management! read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm completely heartbroken. We've been taking our pets to Animal Tender since we moved to St. George. They were usually fine--especially with our dog--so we trusted them. But this last time, we left our cat there while we were in Europe for 17 days. When I picked her up, I knew immediately something was horribly wrong. She looked like a shell of herself. She had shrunk down to the size of a kitten, limp in my arms, not moving. I took her straight to the vet. The diagnosis: full kidney failure, extreme dehydration, infection levels through the roof. Four days later, I had to put her down. I can't even explain the pain of that. She was part of our family. She trusted us. I trusted them. And they failed her. When I asked the staff what happened, they told me they had video of her walking around, like everything was normal. That's not what I brought home. No one noticed she wasn't eating or drinking. No one noticed she wasn't okay. They didn't care enough to pay attention, and because of that, she died. The vet told me this might've been preventable if someone had just acted sooner. That thought haunts me. I miss her so much. I still can't believe this happened. I will never bring another pet here again. I don't even know if I'm done dealing with this legally. I just know I'll never get her back. Pet owners--please be careful. Don't make the same mistake I did. (I'm sharing photos from the day we said goodbye, and of her ashes. This is real. This happened.) read more

If your dog is going to daycare, take them to the Animal Tender! I was just visiting for the week and will be taking my dog back every time I'm in the area. My dog, NalI, is always very nervous when she's dropped off at daycare. The staff at the Animal Tender were so kind, understanding, and took great care of her. We got updates about how Nali was doing after we left and I know she had a blast. Juliana, specifically, was so good and gentle with Nali. I could tell she was incredible with animals and felt immediately I could trust her taking care of my dog! Thank you guys! read more

My dog Birdee loves daycare here so much (see pic for her huge smile). She usually has separation anxiety but here she runs in and is so ready to play she doesn't even care I'm dropping her off. We've also boarded her here several times. Only issue we've ever had was a longer board they let her play in water every day and she was never fully dried off. She had a hotspot or two and I had to cut mattes out of the hair behind her ears. I don't blame them for letting her play in it, she loves a hose. But I'll be asking for her to be dried a bit better to avoid skin issues in the future. I'm sure with most dogs this isn't an issue but Birdee is a sensitive skin gal. read more

My puppy is well cared for and cuddled when needed. The care givers are intuitive and excellent.

We have been taking our Sadie to The Animal Tender for over two months now for daycare at least twice a week and we love it! Sadie always comes home tired and happy. The people who run it are absolutely fantastic and wonderful with the animals! Sadie seems to love everyone of them! Today was our first time to use the grooming section and with a Keeshond the special care needed for their coat takes time and experience. We had Holly groom her and she did a great job! Sadies coat was combed out, she smelled great and was happy! Thanks Holly! I would recommend this place for boarding as well! Thanks Animal Tender for your fantastic service! read more

Love this place and so does my dog! Not too fond of the call center option though, I'd rather have a direct phone line to contact the wonderful staff at Animal Tender! read more

So they are way understaffed and cannot devote attention to dogs they have a service that books your appointments and at times you can't even understand them and if you ask to speak to someone or to call you back about your dog they just ignore the message. I would not recommend it was the worst kennel I had ever taken my dog to. read more

Ashley does a wonderful job of grooming my mini golden doodle. Everyone is friendly and helpful there. My doodle loves to go to doggie day camp there, too! read more

I tried to get all the information for my , and when I came to pick him up, it was $30 more than the receptionist had quoted me. Come to find out maybe they sent it to me in an email in the fine but I had thoroughly asked her questions about the cost of boarding and she told me $43 per day, and it turned out to be $74 when I picked him up it was really disappointing read more

When perspective customers call to inquire prices for boarding, day care and other services employees need to quote accurate prices, which was not my experience! Boarding charge when picking up my dog was $25 more than I was quoted! Manager refused to give refund/credit for an employee's mistake-poor customer service! read more

We have lived in STG a little over a year and are so greatful to have a great daycare/ boarding spot for our dogs. Great staff and our dogs always come home pooped We recommend Animal Tender if you are looking for quality care for your furry family member! read more

We've been coming now for over a year when we travel. The dogs love coming here, they love the day care, meeting other dogs and people. Our dogs have separate diets/ medicines and they keep everything straight. All blankets that go with them always make it home. Pups are happy when they go in and happy when they come out! Staff makes sure they and I are always comfortable. Always a happy staff (how can you not be when you get all these dogs to play with and care for!) read more

Reliable - great with animals - kind and compassionate. Accommodating - outstanding care given to my dog time and time again.

All parts are spot on. Their system of scheduling and keeping you up on next appointment is very good. The staff are friendly and my crissy come out happy and proud. read more

Excellent with my dogs when they come in for grooming. My dogs are never afraid to go into the building

We made an appointment with a new groomer (Sarah) and for two weeks left messages on answering machine, sent email as requested on their website and received NO RESPONSE to our inquiry!!!! I was trying to find out what the grooming charges were. Today I was told they needed to see the pet in person to give a quote. I told them our pet was still short from the last groom, no mats & very friendly. FINALLY the receptionist put me on hold to talk to Sarah. When she came back on the phone he stated Sarah is very busy, grooms 5bdogs a day and does not have time to give me a quote. So the receptionist stated grooming charges could be $55 - $75 dollars. I cancelled our appointment due to no response when messages were left by phone and on website and unknown amount for grooming charges. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more

When your dog starts whining for joy as you turn the corner on Dixie past McDonald's, you know you are headed in the right direction. Have been taking our dogs for boarding, grooming and play days for years and both have reacted the same way. A good vibe obviously. :-) Clean, great customer service, great groomer! read more

First time using Animal Tender to board my cat. I'm happy. The staff here cares and it's obvious. Gunny came home happy and healthy. Last time we boarded him we used a different St George facility. In 9 days he lost 2lbs and came home scared and unwell. it was a horrible experience. You want to be assured your pet is well taken care off and safe when boarded and Animal Tender cares. It shall be the only place we board him from now on. read more

The Animal Tender is our chocolate lab, Micks' second home. We rely on the staff often to keep him company and safe as he plays and stays. When we have to travel we feel confident Mick is having a great time and is safe and loved. read more

We love the Animal Tender! the staff is so friendly, and our dog loves going there. The daycare is a life saver when we are pushed for time, and can't get our dog out to exercise before we go to work. When we pick him up he's so happy, and really tired. read more

Brought our little pooch to her first kennel. A hard decision. The staff said she did great for the week and got along with the other dogs and they brushed and bathed her and hung out with her. We were very happy to hear of that. Staff are great and friendly and the facilities were equally great. read more

This place ROCKS! My shy Shar Pei loves it here. She's a happy, exhausted dog when she comes home. Making dog friends is easy at the Pet Tender. The staff are beyond amazing. read more

So happy with this kennel. The girls at the front desk are top notch and my dog always goes willingly. At our most recent boarding experience we were tight on time and were expected to be 10-15min late beyond. Losing time (which would have cost us another $30). I called on the road and they willingly stayed until we got there in 15 minutes later So grateful for this outfit. read more

We love The Animal Tender! We left our 2 Shih Tzu puppies for 4 days to attend a wedding. When we leave them there, we do not worry about them because we know they are in good hands. The Animal Tender personnel is so nice when we call to check on them to see if they are doing okay. Izzy has anxiety and we worry about her, but the staff are caring and loving humans and always make us feel comfortable when we leave her. We highly recommend boarding your pets here. read more

Two days into our vacation I received a voicemail asking if we would be bringing in our dog.. super panicked I called back to get no answer(this is common) I kept calling and finally got someone who I let them know I had dropped my dog off Sunday morning(two days prior). I was put on hold and then they told me oh it looks like we didn't check her in..? I was panicked I had given my dog to someone at the front desk that possibly didn't work there or my dog was missing. Then we arrived home Thursday morning and we were excited to pick up our dog. I was running late so gave them a call 15 minutes to 11 to let them know I was on my way but might be a couple minutes late. I was put on hold to nobody ever coming back to the phone and then tried calling back two more times to nobody ever answering. I showed up at 11:14 and they charged me for an entire extra day. The lady just kept saying "policy" to me and was very mean. I've been boarding and grooming my dog here for two years paying hundreds of dollars each time. I will Not be returning. read more

It is amateur town over there. These people do not honor their appointments. Look elsewhere.

The best place!! Front desk staff are very attentive and always happy to see our dog! The manager Aaron is always willing to answer questions or concerns and is very knowledgeable. Sandy and the rest of the groomers are amazing at what they do. We have a giant schnauzer which not many people have the knowledge to groom them right and Sandy is amazing at it and grooms him just how we like! All the staff are amazing! The facility is very clean and cared for. Whether you want to have your pet play for the day, board for a few days, or get a professional groom, this is the place to go! Best place in town! read more

It looks like a good place, but their website will not load (their home page says it contains malware/virus and is blocked), and when I call the number listed for them (435-673-0909) on yellowpage.com and yelp.com, and only hear dead air and after 30 seconds the call drops. I've tried both the website and phone number several times during the day with no luck. I also tried to send a message through Yelp to Animal Tender, to ask them if they are still in business. Hopefully this review will help others in finding out if this place has permanently shutdown or not. read more

This place is great! I live in Seattle and was driving cross-country and needed to leave my 3 dogs for a few days, one of which was 4th if July (a stressful time for my dogs), and I am so happy I found the Animal Tender! Super nice and professional people, my dogs weren't stressed when I picked them up, they were taken out more often than I've seen at other kennels, and they washed the dogs and the beds I brought the day before we left. Great experience - I'd recommend to anyone in the area! read more

These guys are fantastic. My little guys looked so darling and they aren't easy to groom! Would highly recommend.

We always board our puppy here when we're out of town and she absolutely loves it! When we pull up she knows and remembers how fun it is, she practically runs to the front door when she sees where she is. It makes me feel so much better about having her stay here because I can tell she has fun. She always returns home with a bath and nail clipping which is so nice for us. The staff are very friendly and helpful and you can tell they care about your fur babies! read more

I've edited this from my original review. I gave this place another chance when we went to California for Disneyland. They were nice the first time so I wanted to see if he would like it for a couple days with the daycare to play with other dogs. He loved it. He played great with the other dogs, what i was told on the phone when I called to check on him, ate good, and I got a report card from one of the days which was nice. I found out he played with an old neighbor's dog haha they used to love playing together so that was cool. It wasn't very expensive for 4 days of a suite and playing. They say he got a bath and I'm sure he did since his fur was shedding bad (usually does after a bath), the brush not so sure about that happening or not. There's no charge for that though. read more

The worst. My dog was there for Day Camp and they shaved her, owners response for a show dog was "it's just hair". We now have to wait 3-4 months to see how it grows back. You don't shave a puppy. read more

Do not hesitate! They will love your pet and care for them just as you do. I would sit on the floor it is so clean. When you walk in you notice nothing other than fresh air and welcoming staff. My dog jumps for joy when I tell her she is going. read more

I have used the Animal Tender for 9 years. For 2 weeks I boarded my dog with them. When I picked him up this week he had acquired lice from their facility. I am very disappointed in their handling of this condition. read more

If you want to take 2 healthy dogs to be boarded over a holiday weekend to get in return 2 dogs that have to go to the vet this is your place. Both of our dogs have been very ill after their stay at animal tender. They both now have a terrible case of kennel cough. So beware of boarding your dog here. read more
