(Before) Healthy weight before dropping at Dog Resort
S. P.

I originally intended to leave a positive review, especially after being offered a discount incentive to do so before even seeing my dogs. However, after picking them up and fully evaluating their condition, I feel obligated to leave an honest account of my experience. My dogs were boarded here for 21 days, and I paid $3,340.29 with the expectation that they would be properly cared for. When I saw them at pickup, I was immediately alarmed by how thin they appeared. At first I questioned whether I was overreacting, so I weighed them once we got home. Based on their recorded weights, they lost approximately 18% of their body weight during their stay. The more I look at them and evaluate their condition, the more upset and disturbed this makes me. In addition to the severe weight loss, both dogs also had fresh cuts and scars that appeared consistent with having been in fights or altercations while boarded. This was never communicated to me during their stay, and seeing visible injuries on top of their physical condition was extremely upsetting. I documented their condition with video and reviewed everything more carefully afterward. Two days before pickup, I received an email stating they "seemed a bit hungry after eating their food." I had provided very specific feeding instructions, including a digital scale to measure 200 grams of food per feeding, twice daily. When I checked the scale afterward, I noticed the units had been changed from grams, and I also became concerned they may have been weighing the food incorrectly by including the bowl weight. What upsets me most is that their veterinary records clearly documented their healthy weight immediately before boarding. The condition they were returned in was not acceptable and should never have happened under professional supervision. I do not believe this was intentional cruelty, but I do believe there was serious negligence and incompetence in their care. The email sent shortly before pickup now feels more like an attempt to establish concern in advance rather than address the issue appropriately. I trusted this facility with my dogs' health and wellbeing, and I will never trust them with their care again.

3 bald spots on chest due to I don't know what happened.

I came here because the reviews were great. Everyone raved about the treatment of the doggos and how clean the place is. I inquired about the grooming and for what I paid was really reasonable for my 68 pound doodle. He's really gentle and doesn't move when getting baths and cuts but seems like the guy that groomed him really messed up. I wanted the teddy bear cut but nope idk what I got. Plus it looks like he went a little too close with the clippers cuz there's bald spots. This will more than likely be the last time I come here. Update 2/10/26 Got a call from I suppose their corporate and they said that they reviewed their cameras and that pretty much I was in the wrong. I wasn't clear enough about what I wanted. In fairness I did agree to the length of hair but I did say I wanted a teddy bear haircut and that being said if the groomer was a professional he would've corrected my length of choice and said that it would've have worked. They did offer a generous bath and nail clipping. After a botched grooming why would I want to bring him back? So you guys could mess this simple task again?They did recommend me to their north Hollywood office where they "specialize" in doodle haircuts. If that was the case then why not point me there instead of dropping him off there for a service they couldn't provide? Again I paid 110$ dollars for something I'm sure I could've done at home. The drive wasn't worth it nor the service and pity call.

We had a great experience here with grooming for our little puppy Jaxon! The groomer Alejandra was so sweet, detailed, and gentle with our fur baby. In addition, the place is so clean and spotless and the front desk staff are attentive and answered all our questions. We are looking forward to our next grooming session here for Jaxon in May! Lastly, we toured their facility and fell in love with their dog hotel suites and custom-tailored offerings for each unique dog, so we booked a suite for Jaxon while we go out of the country this summer. We love that their suites are equipped with cameras so we can monitor and view Jaxon any time we want while we are away! I will update this review with hoteling experience after but I just know it will be a positive one

Snack carriers i think?
Allen C.

Since i ended up stopping by this place for the second time in a week for other reasons i decided to just go in. The place looks freat the snack section for the doggies is cool, though very high dollar. I still bought a few. The balloons they have outside is crazy. If i take a trip id leave my doggies here.

I've been using Dog Resort since the days they were located in Hollywood, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Their service has always been exceptional -- consistent, caring, and professional. My dogs are very large Borzois, and grooming them properly is no small task. Yet every visit, they come out looking absolutely stunning -- their coats gleaming, nails perfectly trimmed, ears and tails spotless, and most importantly, their spirits lifted. You can tell how much they enjoy the experience because they leave happy, relaxed, and confident. What sets Dog Resort apart is the staff's genuine love for animals and the calm, clean environment they maintain. They treat every dog as if it were their own, with patience and kindness that truly shines through. I trust them completely and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dexter my best friend

I'm writing this post to warn others about my unfortunate first experience at Dog Resort. I brought my 4-year-old healthy French bulldog, Dexter, in for overnight boarding from Friday to Saturday. Everything seemed fine the first day and night, but when we woke up the next morning (Saturday), we received a call from Dog Resort saying that Dexter had been found unresponsive and that we needed to get there ASAP. Because we were out of town, we booked a flight home immediately. Before we could even get on the flight, we received a call from the vet informing us that Dexter had passed away and that he was brought in deceased, so there was nothing they could do. Once we arrived back in Southern California, we went straight to Dog Resort and demanded to see the video footage. What we saw is what prompted this review. Dexter was taken into the playroom that morning with the other dogs, where he could be seen happily playing and running around. However, after about 30 minutes, it became clear that he was winded and hyperventilating from the activity, which is common for French bulldogs. A worker then removed Dexter from the playroom and placed him alone in a private, glass-enclosed room. While there, he continued to hyperventilate and vomited white foam five times within a span of three to four minutes. Several employees walked past Dexter during this time but ignored his condition. He eventually collapsed onto his side and appeared to suffocate on his own vomit. What frustrates me the most is that Dexter laid there deceased for a full 10 minutes before anyone checked on him, during business hours (around 7 a.m.). When I asked the manager why no one attended to him sooner, she stated that the other workers were cleaning and that they can't watch the dogs at all times. For the price paid, you would expect someone to be actively monitoring the cameras during business hours, but apparently that is not the case. I then asked for a copy of the video footage so I could review it myself to determine whether there was negligence involved. The manager said she would bring the request to corporate and follow up with me immediately. After several days passed without any response, I emailed again requesting the footage. Their response was as follows: "YES, SO UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE THE FOOTAGE. THE CAMERAS RESET EVERY 2 DAYS AND WE NO LONGER HAVE THE VIDEO. HIS STAY WITH US WAS FROM FRIDAY TO SATURDAY MORNING. OUR CORPORATE OFFICES ARE CLOSED ON THE WEEKEND, AND BY THE TIME CORPORATE RECEIVED THE MESSAGE, IT WAS TOO LATE." I also followed up via email requesting the incident report and the waiver I signed when dropping Dexter off, but I have yet to receive a response. Very unprofessional! I am sharing this story about my best friend, Dexter, whom I miss so deeply, and about the horrible experience we had here--hoping it may protect others from experiencing the same heartbreak.

Happy dog

I just wanted to say how much I LOVE Wagville! I've been taking my dogs here for over 4 years now…read moreand am always so relieved and impressed at how well my dogs are taken care of here. Their employees are so kind, caring, the facilities are so clean - I highly recommend this place! My 2 dogs are my babies and I couldn't just trust them to anyone (not to mention 1 of them is so finnicky around people, and I don't even trust family to watch her) but I always gladly hand her over to Wagville for every vacation. I feel so comfortable with them and know my dogs are in the best hands and care. I love their high standards and how they make sure every dog has a test run overnight at their facilities before accepting them to be boarded. Thank you Wagville for always taking the best care of Raja and Paloma!

AVOID WAGVILLE! HORRIBLE SERVICE AND NEGLECTFUL CARETAKERS…read more Picked up our dog with both a SKIN INFECTION & EAR INFECTION after spending $600 to board him for a week, resulting in a $500 vet bill and a sad, sickly pup. My partner and I have used Wagville multiple times for daycare and boarding our dog Ernie, but after our last experience we won't be back, and we would caution any loving pet owners against risking their pet's safety and wellbeing by boarding here. We gave clear, specific instructions to keep track of a spot of our frenchie's face that often becomes irritated and left medicated wipes with staff if it flared up. We also requested he periodically be given 1 hour breaks from playtime every two hours or if/when he tired himself out too much. One of the reasons we chose Wagville is because they have a live camera feed so you can see your pet during daytime hours. We checked it often while on vacation, but frequently went several hours without seeing our dog, making us suspect they pulled him for a break and then simply forgot, leaving him isolated for hours. Not what we're paying all this money for for you to "care" for our dog. My partner sent an email requesting an update on how Ernie was doing and mentioned not seeing him on the feed. Wagville quickly responded with a very generic (presumably AI drafted) positive response about Ernie doing well and being happy and playful and he quickly showed back up on the video feed. Two days later when we picked up Ernie, he came in from the play area with several wet spots. Apparently they let the dogs play in water when it's hot, which is great unless you're too lazy or incompetent to know that not thoroughly a drying a dog off after water play can lead to a host of issues! As any informed dog caretaker should know, trapped moisture against the skin creates a warm, humid breeding ground for bacteria and yeast, which can lead to painful skin infections. And that's exactly what Ernie ended up with--a skin infection--right in the problem area on his face that we specifically asked Wagville staff to monitor and treat with medicated wipes we provided. We rushed Ernie to an urgent care vet the following day, and $500 later he was put on oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics for his skin, and an ear spray antibiotic for an ear infection on top of all that. We dropped off a happy healthy dog, and a week later picked up a sad boy with MULTIPLE INFECTIONS. AND IT GETS WORSE. When my partner called Wagville right after picking up Ernie, they nonchalantly and dismissively mentioned that they "just noticed" his skin issue that morning. SKIN INFECTIONS LIKE THIS DO NOT POP UP OVERNIGHT. They clearly: -NEVER MONITORED THE AREA OR TREATED IT AS REQUESTED -SENT A GENERIC CANNED RESPONSE "YESSING" US INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY CHECKING ON OUR DOG WHEN WE REACHED OUT -BS'ed US CLAIMING TO HAVE "JUST NOTICED" his skin infection ONLYafter WE brought it up to them Staff apologized, rather insincerely. My partner emphasized that this situation was unacceptable and that he would like to speak with the general manager, who conveniently enough wasn't in for the day. We asked for a call back, and three days later we've received none. PLEASE, for the HEALTH & SAFETY OF YOUR PUP AVOID WAGVILLE AT ALL COSTS FOR THEIR NEGLECTFUL TREATMENT & ATROCIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE

Can't recommend this vet enough. My wife and I took took our injured dog to another local vet…read moreoffice that turned out to be a nightmare both in lack of professionalism and possible malpractice (the manager is not a trained vet and gave us an unverified diagnosis). This place is the opposite. We took our dog here for a second opinion and were met with vets and staff that are both professional and have great bedside manner. Our dog ended up having a torn ACL and needed surgery. The care and order of operations he's been given have been completely professional and timely and assured us during stressful times. Our main vet is Dr Talwar and she's both empathetic and professional. Like our past vet we've been to, all good vet offices are often very busy and not the most expensive but not the cheapest. Just bear that in mind when booking an appointment.

I've had good experiences at LFSAH and I believe my cat receives excellent care, which is my…read moreprimary concern. I left the previous vet because I didn't feel adequate care was being provided. The front office staff always seems pleasant. The techs and vets have been helpful and informative, in my experience. Scheduling may sometimes take a few minutes but it's not a long wait on the phone. Prices are a bit higher than other area vets, and medications seem to run quite high. These are minor considerations when the care meets expectations. I have noticed that when you are in the exam room, there is a LOT of ambient noise from both the customer and staff sides. Dogs barking, people laughing, etc. are all amplified. This made my girl extra antsy yesterday. I'm thankful for the care we receive at LSFAH and recommend them for your pets' care.

Paradise Ranch Pet Resort has been our trusted home away from home for over two years for both…read moredaycare and boarding. My English Mastiff, Lina, is a certified therapy dog, so her temperament, comfort, and well-being are incredibly important to me -- and Paradise Ranch has consistently exceeded expectations. Most recently, Lina stayed for a 9-day boarding visit, the longest she's ever been away from home. She came back relaxed, happy, and well cared for, with no soreness or stress -- which speaks volumes about the thoughtful, attentive care she receives. The staff truly knows the dogs, understands large breeds, and treats each one like family. The environment is calm, enriching, and well managed, and the communication always gives me complete peace of mind while I'm away. I am so grateful for the incredible team at Paradise Ranch and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional daycare and boarding.

One of my colleagues first told me about this place as she has a boxer and she shares that her dog just absolutely thrives at the resort. I have a pit bull mix terrier and I thought I'd give it a shot! Cageless? Lots of places for my puppy to roam? Yes sign us up please! I brought my pup for an evaluation, got to learn more about the resort, toured the facility and then brought her back for another evaluation cause #separationanxiety. Her not me! I watched her on the webcams (so many!) and she did great! Lots of shade options for her and lots of pups for her to be around. It was nice to see her socialize! She passed and I felt really great about her experience. Upon arrival and departure, all very secure. The team was great and I can't wait to see how she does after her first overnight experience. Thanks for a great time!
