    This review is for the grooming side only (haven't used the day camp.)…read more My 23 lb beagle mix gets a twice a month bath with special shampoo for his allergies and, because he hates baths and acts like I'm putting him through pure torture, we've opted to go to a groomer for it. Trey has been my dog groomer for over three years now, and he is truly just the best around: incredible groomer, magician with nervy dogs, and just all around kind human. When he moved to Camp Bow Wow earlier this year, it was a no brainer to follow him. He's one of the most reasonably priced groomers in the area and does an incredible job with all sorts of dogs. My dog genuinely loathes bathes and is overall a nervous dog around other dogs. Trey puts him at ease and he comes wagging his tail every time he seems him, even though he knows he's getting a bath. His nails are always filed down and maintained well and he smells so delightful after a groom with adorable fluffy fur! The facility is super clean and I appreciate the dogs are separated for grooming and have their own crates while being groomed. When my dog got skunked when I was out of town last year, for no extra charge, Trey worked his magic and in a couple of visits the smell was almost gone. True miracle worker and I'm so grateful we found him, as it takes a huge headache out of my life and helps me to know I'm always leaving my baby for a few hours with someone I trust. There's a dedicated parking lot for customers and I appreciate that staff is on top of making sure any dog who comes here is up to date on shots/vaccinations. Even though I don't use the day camp services the staff at the front desk are incredibly kind and welcoming to me and my pup and give him little treats and hugs every time we come in. It's a wonderful and welcoming experience and I can't recommend getting your fur child groomed here with Trey enough!

    I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Camp Bow Wow today. I brought my 7-month-old…read morepuppy in for his evaluation, which I was told would last a "minimum" of three hours. Instead, I was called back within about 10 minutes and told that he had "failed" because he was "too nervous." This was his very first time at the facility. He's a puppy in a completely new environment, surrounded by unfamiliar people, sounds, and dogs. Expecting him to immediately jump into the group and be perfectly comfortable within minutes seems unrealistic. He wasn't being aggressive, reactive, or causing any problems. From what I saw watching the camera in the waiting room, he was simply sitting off to the side and taking time to adjust the new environment. What upset me most was that he was not given a fair opportunity. A puppy who is understandably nervous in a new environment deserves patience, guidance, and time to acclimate--not a failure after 10 minutes. Had I known the evaluation consisted of only a few minutes to prove himself, I would have had very different expectations. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment for all dogs, but I left feeling that my puppy was judged before he was ever given a real chance. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect the welcoming, supportive environment I was expecting from a daycare that works with dogs of all ages and temperaments.

    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!

    This was our first time boarding our puppy Cane Corso and we were hoping for her to have a great…read moreexperience. 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.

    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.

    If you have pets to board, **Little Paws Pet Resort** is absolutely the place to go! From the…read moremoment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome from the owner -- friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about animals. You can immediately tell they care about every pet that walks through their doors. The rates are very reasonable, and unlike many other facilities, there's no nickel-and-diming for every little thing. They even have a great dog park in the back, and it's included at no extra cost! That's a rare find these days. It's such a relief knowing our pets are in good hands. You can rest assured they'll be cared for like family here. I **highly recommend Little Paws Pet Resort** to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and welcoming place for their furry friends.

    Heed the warning- I recently boarded my 3 French Bulldogs at this boarding place. I chose them…read morebecause they seemed very friendly, the place appeared clean to the eye. They were there 11 days I believe. It was NOT cheap. I EVEN LEFT A TIP!!! Everything seemed wonderful. They bathed my pups per my request, they even came in after hours to let me pick them up. Here lies the issue. My pups have ONLY been at my house in my yard or at their boarding establishment. No walks elsewhere, No dog parks, No one else's house. NOWHERE!!!! About 7 days after I returned home with them, one had a spot on his back where the hair fell out/became red irritated/then dry & flaky. Only to find out it was indeed RINGWORM!!! I was supposed to board them again but called to cancel right away. I was furious!! * SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS * I battled the ringworm for about two more weeks. Thankfully his hair grew back & I got rid of it. I also prevented my other two from getting it w medicated shampoo. Fast forward another two week another of my pups tested positive for HOOK-WORMS!!!! Remember my dogs have not been ANYWHERE ELSE.... So now I've had to treat all my dogs for that. Thru the Dr that referred me their facility. I can assure you they did not have them before boarding here. I just had all of them checked before I moved here in September. W a clean bill of health. Please be warned. If you love your animals like I do mine ---- YOU WILL TAKE THIS ADVICE & go elsewhere!!!! There is no other explanation for these happenings. ZERO. I won't be back.

    I had a terrible dog boarding experience with Dogtopia of Green Hills. I don't believe they…read moreprovided proper care to my dog. I will not come back to this place again. 1) My dog had a scary wound in his nose when I picked him up. The staff blamed it on the crate and used "it happened to many dogs before so it's not a big deal" as the excuse (???). Her attitude was like I should just shut up and walk away with that, and they don't care whatever I would do. This is really unprofessional. If this type of injury commonly happens at your place, you should fix the crates instead of letting it happen constantly if you are serious about your pet care business. The staff insisted that this just happened shortly before the pickup so that's why I was not notified immediately. I held reservations about this because the wound had already dried and didn't look that fresh to me. After talking with the manager, they used the "inherent risks clauses" in the "dog parent agreements" to deny their responsibilities and get off the hook. 2) I prepared the exact number of meals my dog needed for the stay, each in a separate ziplock bag. But there was still one bag meal left, whereas their feeding record shows they fed the meals on time. No idea why. 3) His paws were dirty with some dried pet waste. Looked like his feet were soaked in the waste from time to time. I have all these reasons to believe my dog was not taken good care of during his stay. I DO NOT recommend this place.

    We love leaving both our dogs here! The staff does a good job of coming up with fun dog activities…read moreeach week. Whether that's a pool day or bacon flavored bubble machine there always seems to be something to stimulate them. Our one dog goes to the tiny room and the other goes to the big dog room. But the staff makes it a point for them to reunite a few times throughout the day which we really appreciate. It's always great as well to hear them announce over the walkie talkies that my dogs are there and to here the staff get excited for them. Every time we get them back they are extremely tired from all the fun and stimulation. We've done daycare and boarding and never had any issues. Highly recommend this place!
