We have a 10 month old mini Aussie Shepherd. She needed a full grooming. The Aussie breed has an…read moreundercoat and fur. Thus, you have to be careful when grooming them because you could damage their undercoat and fur if you use mechanical trimmers. We picked PPPS because of the positive yelp reviews. We booked our pup for an appointment. PPPS uses text to communicate with you and the communication is excellent. PPPS needed vaccine records and many additional details to make sure it was safe for all the other pups at their location. We dropped off Zoey and spoke with the groomer (Bree). Bree was very aware of how to properly groom an Aussie. We had a brief conversation about what we wanted and believed Zoey was in capable hands. When Zoey was done, we got a text to pick her up. I was greeted upon arrival and Zoey was led out to me right away. Zoey looked fantastic!!! Bree groomed her exactly the way we had discussed. Zoey looked even better than I had hoped. I gave Bree a $20.00 tip. When I brought Zoey home and my wife saw her, my wife loved the grooming. My wife's only complaint was that I should have given Bree a bigger tip. I will fix that the next time we bring Zoey in for a groom.

He's not an easy dog but they have done amazing with him. When he was diagnosed with a hereditary eye issue, I was worried about having to board him as he requires eye drops twice a day to keep the condition treated. They didn't hesitate and said we will be sure he gets them as needed when he boards. They are amazing and I wouldn't take him anywhere else!

Yardstick is my puppy's favorite place! We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have found such a…read moregreat doggie daycare spot to drop her off at on a weekly basis - especially in a city where many kennels have waitlists just for an initial interview. I scheduled a tour in advance online, and received a very thorough explanation of the Yardstick difference. There are three different play areas for small, medium, and large dogs. During a regular daycare visit, your dog gets a short break in their own kennel area around midday, before jumping back in for afternoon play. An all-day daycare visit will run you $45, and they do offer a trial day for new guests for $25. The entire facility is cute and clean - but I have to say it's the customer service that stands out most. The Yardstick team sends me adorable (and detailed) photo updates throughout the day, reinforcing that I've left my fur baby in excellent hands. Every time I drop my dog off, they greet her by name and genuinely seem excited to see her. Big thanks to the entire Yardstick team for taking such good care of our pup! We'll continue to bring her by as often as possible for some of the best doggie daycare in town!

When I picked her up Monday, the lady checking us out gave all negative feedback, nipping at shoes, which when she does that at home we correct her and she stops, they didn't mention biting or anything of that nature. Then she said "we haven't boarded many Cane Corsos because they don't board well', ummm okay.. We were disappointed at zero positive feedback and the intolerance based on her breed. We will not be returning, would not recommend. Based on the check out experience and inferring this breed is not welcome that is why we said overpriced. Although, price was never an issue as long as the experience was positive.

They have webcams if you like to keep an eye on your pupper during the day, and their online booking system is super easy and efficient.

Grace has been a godsend for us and our dog. We adopted a rescue that has severe resource guarding…read moreissues and had not been socialized with people nor dogs. He's a unique dog, and for a while we weren't sure we would ever find someone who could effectively and safely handle him, but Grace was able to not only speak his language - but also safely integrate him into walks with other dogs and help muzzle train him. She quickly became his favorite person and was one of the only people he trusted. Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people. He always loves these sleepover and has learned to better read other dogs and communicate as a result. Our boy has come a long way, and we owe so much of that to Grace and Lucky Dog!

This turned out to be the perfect place for our dog. Jeff and Grace keep great control over the animals, and keep the numbers way down. Our dog was unsure of herself for the first day or so, but quickly joined the pack because I believe she felt very safe at this place. Great big fenced areas to play in, and best of all communal sleeping on furniture! She felt right at home. Highly recommend this place. You can see her airborne flying with the pack in the second photo!

This Pet Resorts of America sits on Charlotte Pike in West Nashville and is perched up on a hill overlooking the busy street below. The dogs have to love this view when they are playing outdoors...so many cars to bark at! We usually take our little dude, Tucker, to day care twice per week, so for us it was more cost effective to buy in bulk. We purchased a set of 10 visits and the staff are good at keeping up with renewal times so he never goes without his play days. This location has two sides/buildings...one for grooming and the other for daycare. They are connected, but have different entry and pick up points/times. We have utilized their grooming services, but for us it is a little too expensive for the low maintenance coat that our pup has. So, we now take him to the nearby Petco every few weeks at a discounted price comparatively. For daycare, the price is decent, and becomes better with package pricing. Tucker loves his day care friends and family, and they love him! Even if we are gone for a few weeks, when he walks in they immediately greet him by name and rush him back to the play areas. We also have special food we feed him that requires refrigeration. They made sure to ask if he likes it heated or cold. Heated of course because he is spoiled, but he will eat it either way...and it was nice that they asked! Overall, we really enjoy Pet Resorts for our little dudes day care shenanigans!

Here is a review of boarding dogs insPet Resorts of America in Nashville after some reflection…read more Make sure you differentiate between reviews of day care vs boarding when you read the reviews. To be fair, I will discuss both the positives and negatives. Positives: This business offers an option to board your dogs in the Nashville area that has, at least, a little bit of exposure to the outdoors. There are not many options close to the city. The most positive aspect of the kennel is the quality and friendliness of the staff. Negatives: I think this business is overshadowed by thinly veiled deception. The pictures on the site show dogs swimming in pools or playing in outdoor spaces. One needs to dig to discover that this kennel only guarantees to put your dog in a kennel with two undefined "walks" a day. To have your pet play with other dogs or swim in the pool, you must pay for each experience per day. Be sure to take a walk in the facility before committing your dog to stay there. A walk in the compound will reveal countless unhappy dogs barking at you for attention. This reminds me of visits to maximum security prisons. I dropped my dogs off and they were quickly overheated. This was on a Thursday. On Friday, I wanted an update of their health and a picture of them in the pool or play area. There was no response. If you check the kennel hours and times for staff response, they are highly restricted. The prices for putting your dog in a hot kennel with minimal interaction is $69 per day, per my experience as the base line price. I find this overpriced. Then they charge additional fees for things like playing with other dogs. I found this practice to be deceptive and insulting. I will never return to this facility. I can only thank the kind staff who work in a deceptive, potentially harmful, business model. Pet Resorts of America Nashville should be ashamed to be a business. You have the opportunity to do much better.

When issues come up (not eating for a few meals, etc), they're proactive in letting you know something might be up with your dog and including possible solutions. One of the very best parts is that Fitz always smells clean when we pick him up - we've taken him places before and he would come home smelling like dog. I can't recommend Yardstick enough!

I'm heartbroken and furious about what happened to my dog at Southpaws (1315 8th Ave S, Nashville)…read more I trusted them with his grooming on April 10, 2025--something I've done before. When I picked him up hours later, the groomer casually mentioned he had swallowed "a very small piece" of a toy. No one had called to tell me. They claimed it was no big deal and described it as only a few inches. Fast forward two days--my dog was violently ill. I rushed him to the emergency vet (Blue Pearl), where they discovered a full stuffed giraffe toy, larger than a water bottle, lodged in his stomach. Emergency surgery was required. He's now recovering with pain meds, a cone, and crate rest. The vet bill? Over $7,000. The owner admitted fault and promised to "make things right." First, she claimed she didn't have insurance. Then, when I involved an attorney, she suddenly said her provider would reach out. That was over two weeks ago. Still no word. Just delays, excuses, and a complete lack of accountability. This level of negligence is unacceptable. If you care about your pet's safety and your peace of mind, I urge you to reconsider before bringing them here.
