Our aging dog, Oscar, could not have received better protection care and treatment during his many stays at Camp Critter Creek. They devised ways to help eat and drink as his eyesight failed. They truly cared for him. After our pet's death, we called to cancel an upcoming stay and left a message. A call back was appreciated and they had kind words about their experience and love for our pet. If you need to kennel your dog or cat, there is no better place than Camp Critter Creek. read more

First, the staff at Camp Critter Creek are warm and friendly. It soon becomes obvious that they really care about animals. While you are away, the staff doesn't just do the minimum, such as feed and let the pets outside. For example, my friend's mini-pin's toenails needed trimming, and they saw the need and trimmed them. My friend was delighted. This means they pay attention to your animals. It's more than just a job to them. That's my take. They took special care of Max, our rescued Belgian shepherd. He had had skin problems, and Pat, the owner, recommended a special brush to use on him and a special shampoo. Charlie, our smaller dog, was quite happy there, too. When you leave your pets at Camp Critter Creek, rest assured they will be lovingly cared for. It doesn't get any better than that. Dolly Withrow read more

I called on a Tuesday, they were able to work my 2 male dogs in for a Friday after my usual…read moreboarding had let me down in a clench. My neighbors had boarded their dog here before and said they were satisfied with the service. Called Friday and got directions. Directions were good. Facility seemed clean. I didn't see in back except for a glimpse, kind of reminded me of the animal shelter cages. On the opposite side I had noted that there are outside runs. Had been told on phone it was $18 a piece for dogs (no difference that I have 1 dog over 100 pounds, second one is 50 pound pit mix). Other charges would be "explained" when I got there. Was told $20 extra for bath, which is a pretty good deal. I said if they could bathe the pit, great, worried my Great Pyrenees would get away. He's strong, can leap fences and he's a runner. Would be $5 per day each for a "nature walk". Well, they are supposed to be let outside 2 times a day anyway and, again, afraid bigger dog would get away. $3 a piece per day for them to play in the high fenced "atrium" for about 1/2 hour. I o.k.'d this. Kennels are open until 4:30 Sundays, 5:30 rest of week. I told them that I would pick them up on Monday as I doubted I would be able to make it back into town before 4:30 Sunday. Picked up my boys before closing Monday. Bill $199.80. Not itemized in any way. Seemed high for 3 nights, even including above, given their quotes. Staff seemed distracted and had even started filling out intake paperwork on the third dog I had brought with me when I came to pick up the boys instead of immediately bringing out the male dogs. Dogs appeared well taken care of though. My pit mix was clearly clean. Staff seem genuinely fond of the dogs. So I feel that they got good care and would use Shamrock Stables again and recommend them. However; it bears noting that they charge (I was figuring my own bill and checked the back of the slip that they GIVE you AFTER you sign) for the day that you drop them off and the night that you pick them up (even though they close at 5:30 p.m.) Now, if this were explained, that would be better. If this were a PARTIAL charge, it would be fair, especially as 5:30 p.m. is really an EARLY time to close then charge you for the UPCOMING NIGHT. In fact, had I picked them up at 12 noon they would STILL HAVE CHARGED ME FOR THE UPCOMING NIGHT. WHICH IS SHEER GREED. SO, I HAD DOGS WHO STAYED FOR 75 HOURS AND I GET CHARGED FOR 96 HOURS.THUS 4 STARS WHERE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STARS FOR A LITTLE LESS GREED. But, the staff was great, greed is on the owner.

I dropped my dogs off on Friday evening, along with a tote bag of their food bowls, pre-portioned…read moreand labeled bags of food, and two blankets. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and made me feel at ease. The facility smelled as good as boarding facility can, and seemed clean. She took down my food instructions (since I had brought my own food and requested that they were fed what I brought), and she wrote a description of my blankets. She told me that they wash the blankets, so the description would help them go back to the correct dog when they come out of the dryer. She asked if my dogs had any allergies, etc. Sounds awesome, right? I returned to pick up my dogs on Tuesday mid-morning. I was charged appropriately, $18 per dog, per day, plus tax. Here's where I ran into problems...when the blankets were handed back to me, they were so dirty that I had to put them in a trash bag just to get them into my car. There is no way they had been washed. As a result of not having blankets clean enough to lay on my car seats, I now need my car's interior cleaned from the dirt on my dogs paws. I guess that's my lesson in not bringing extra blankets. I won't make that mistake again. I didn't even bring that to the staff's attention, because I had a bigger issue. I had sent my own food for a reason. My dachshund has thyroid issues that make her overweight. She is on a calorie-counted diet. When I opened the bag I sent with them, only ONE portion of food for each dog was missing. So I thought either my dogs didn't get fed for 4 of the 5 days, or they fed them something else. I immediately called and asked what had happened, and received a return call a short time later from the owner. He said that the person in charge of my dogs for the weekend had difficulty getting them to eat their food the first night. So they looked at their info card, saw no allergies, and took it upon themselves to feed my dogs the kennel's food. The owner said that they have a procedure for this, if a dog won't eat, the staff member is to call the owner for advice, and then call the customer and ASK PERMISSION to feed the dogs something else. No one called me for permission. No one called me at all. The owner said that this will prompt a staff meeting about policy. That's fine and dandy, but does nothing for my frustration at paying almost $200 for my instructions to be ignored completely. The owner seemed sincere in his apology, and I would give this place ONE MORE CHANCE, based pretty much only on convenience of location. If they failed again, though, there is no way for a third try.

I used to love this place always knowledgeable and good with dogs. However, all that has changed…read more Had to cancel my trip due to misinformation provided by kennel. Was sent a message that my dog needed extra vaccine so concerned I called the vet long story shot he is to old to have needed it that's why they had not sent me a reminder so then I get another request from the kennel that he needs another shot meanwhile I just left vets office. Which is very hard to get into and cost a lot of money. So the lady I was talking to just kept running me around with such a flipped attitude like it was no big deal. The vet kept telling he does not need it and I kept telling her in order to board him they said he needs it all together my dog just got the wrong shot for nothing. And then had the nerve to call after we just Left the vet and said he needed a different shot. What? And with it being last minute I have been unable to find another boarder. I really hate when good business let 1 person ruin the whole operation.

I started taking my Poodle (Standard) here. He is my medical alert service dog. He has CGC, CGCA,…read moreand many tricks titles, he is a solid dog from a great breeder, my SD and obedience trainers who know him can verify this. They suggested I used Trazadone for grooming! I was FLOORED!!! I even replied, this dog? She said, yes. And I said are you sure, this dog? I could understand if it were my Irish Terrier, as he can be a little mischievous (I mean terriers you know what I mean? lol). I have groomed this poodle since day 1, he literally lays in bed with me and I can pluck his ears, do his feet and he even lays on the grooming table when I do work on him, in between groomings there, and my other groomer never had any issues (we only switched for the fact she was so far away). I even hand strip my Irish Terrier (all the grooming on his is all me, feet nails, etc) so I am not new to grooming, though admittedly I am not a professional and I wanted poodle to look nice since he is an SD and I am more of a hand stripper vs a clipper person. THANKFULLY, the drug suggestion raised a HUGE red flag for me, especially since this dog, while still on the younger side, is a great dog again with CGC titles to prove it! Yesterday, I found a new groomer, and she said she had ZERO issues with him (the other groomer before that had no issues she was just too far away for us). In fact, he said he chilled on the table and was one of the best dogs she has groomed! I would not use this place at all! HARD NO! AND Thank you, to my new groomer, who absolutely agreed no way to use Trazadone! And his groom was better than at this place too! Super great dog he is!
