My parents' dog almost died from heat exhaustion. Do NOT leave your dog here. This was from one night and my family had to pay $400 vet bill for a $25 stay. Do not recommend!! read more

Very scary place. Do not take your pets here. Our three dogs came home extremely dehydrated. Three days at home now.... one keeps throwing up. One has had diarrhea. Our Kelpie/Heeler immediately cries right after she barks... did not do that before. I pray that nothing physical happened to her. After notifying that we were on our way to pick the dogs up, we pulled up to the gate to see the owner scrambling to their little outdoor cage (that I fear they rarely if at all got out of) with a small water bowl. We had a creepy feeling when we left them there. I feel so guilty that I didn't listen to my gut. Please do not make the same mistake. read more

This was the worse experience I have ever had! I took my dogs and dropped them off . I just didn't feel right leaving them there. She allowed us to walk around but we were not allowed to look inside the back dog house that had a doggy door! She was very strange! My instincts told me no but gave her the benefit of the doubt! But then I thought and thought about it and I just couldn't leave my babies with her! So returned 45 minutes later to pick them up. The lady was very defensive as she spoke to me and my children! When we picked them up, I managed to peek in the back house, the house where she has a doggy door, looked like a crack house and disgusting with comforters all over the floor and old filthy blankets and a dirty sofa bed inside! Trash and old dog beds were all over the front porch! When the lady went to get one of my dogs, my dog was terrified of her. I told her she's scared of you which she replied "No she's scared of you" she is very unprofessional. This is not the place if you truly love your pets. read more

UPDATE: All 3 dogs haven't had much of an appetite since returning from their stay at Holiday Farms(they all three have been sleeping most of the days since returning)....My Yorkie finally ate today and is now throwing up and not able to keep his food down. Again, I can not stress to people enough...do not take your pets here! To anyone thinking about leaving their animals at this place, YOU SHOULD KEEP LOOKING!! It was a horrible experience for my 3 dogs. They were hungry and extremely thirsty to the point of dehydration(On pick up day, she had all three in a small cage and was rushing a tiny bowl of water to them as she knew we were on our way, not to mention when my heeler saw her walking up with the tiny bowl of water she was scared to death of the lady) My 2 year old heeler is now scared to death to bark, she will bark and then start crying due to something she endured under this lady's care. She has had severe diarrhea since we got her back 3 days ago. We were told they could go in and out as they please but that was not the case...my dogs stayed outside in 100 degree weather for 4 nights. I will make sure I inform anyone I come in contact with about how horrible this place is for animals...she should be shut down before she kills someones beloved family pet. I have read the few negative comments and the owner will have a comment trying to explain why the pet owners have left bad reviews, there is absolutely no explanation she can give to anyone as to why a "pet ranch" is neglecting animals. Giving these animals water the entire duration of their stay should not be a hard thing to do. read more

Terrible and very scary experience. Lady does not let you tour the property. Did not tell us our dog would be forced to sleep outside with other dogs - our dog is an indoor dog and it was 100 degrees the weekend we had him stay there. Our dog was returned to us dehydrated, limping and filthy. She was very unprofessional and another dog snapped at our dog while we were picking him up. She also had torn up bedding in the yard my dog was in where she claimed "it was a toy". My dog could have easily swallowed pieces of it. I am reporting her to the Boerne pet clinic. Please stay away! read more

Warning. Do not take your pets here. We left our pet boxer in the summer with explicit instructions to keep him out of the heat. Not only did the owner keep him outside (there is no option we found out to late that even though she says there is an indoor there is not) but she ran him in the 100+ heat. He died in her care! No phone call. No attempt to take him to the vet. No apology or acknowledgment of responsibility. Just a beautiful 4 year old dog dead. We have since found out other dogs have died or "gone missing" there. There are plenty of other options to board your pets, check them and go there not here. read more

My pet used to go there but no longer. My pet would be filthy when picked up and would vomit sometimes. My pet stayed overnight once, and came back so dirty that a bath was required. In addition, no one was there when I went, to pick up even though I text messaged the owner that I was coming at a certain time and she wrote back that the time was fine. The owner told me that the dogs are brought in at night but I found out this isn't the case, and she left my dog outside the entire time. She never checks for updated shot records. I've also overheard the owner make unsavory comments as to the care and feeding of the animals.. There are pieces of trash and garbage all over the yard that the dogs get into and she claims those are their toys. Plus the owner leaves the dogs unattended for extended periods of time. Do yourself and your pet a favor and do not go there. read more

This is a breeder of excellent quality dogs. I have a standard poodle breed by them 13 yrs ago, the sire dog was very old, who broke my heart when he died a beautiful natural death just recently. These people love animals, they don't just put them in creates and let them out a few minutes a day like most boarding places...my dog is my most loved companion, I have been told she is amazing and I never leave her with anyone except Holiday Farms..Lulu reconizes the voice of the owner on my answering machine...and loves her!. I travel the world and leave her for a month at a time, and she is healthy and happy when we return. I would never trust anyone else with Lulu...not even my adult children ! read more

I agree with Dwane! We boarded our dogs there ONE time. When we went to pick them up they were panting real hard and when we got them home (10 mins) they drank a full bowl of water. We kept taking the bowl up so they wouldn't get sick drinking too fast. We were lucky, I will never use them again. We now have a "in home" pet service, she is wonderful and our dogs are much happier staying in their own home. read more

We have taken our dog here 3 or 4 times. Last time we took our lab, I was concerned with the heat outside and my dog being somewhat dehydrated. Today we picked up our dog after a 4 night stay and he is limping and EXTREMELY dehydrated. He won't eat his food and has had 3 large bowls of water. (normally my dog won't even look at me while he is eating, because he is too concerned with his food) I will NEVER take my dog back here. read more

This is NOT the place you want to leave your pets!! If I could leave a negative of 5 stars I would!!! I dropped off a happy, alert dog and when I picked him up he was lethargic, stumbling around...totally disoriented! She said he'd been sleeping for 2.5 hours and not to be surprised if he slept for a couple of DAYS as dogs don't usually sleep well there. He slept the whole night (15 hrs) and was FINE the next day. Good thing we picked him up when we did....he may have died in her "care"! read more

I personally would not board my dog at this place. My advice to anyone planning on boarding their dogs at this place is to call the local veterinarians and ask them what they think. They can tell you if they would board their dogs at this place or not. Also just to note when looking for a dog kennel is that there is no regulatory agency in the state of Texas to hold kennels up to any kind of standard. So for instance if a person does not provide an air conditioned area for a dog to go to when it's over 100 during the day or a heated area when there is freezing temperatures, there is no oversight agency to complain to if your dog gets heatstroke or hypothermia. Call the local vets and if the owner won't let you fully inspect the facilities, move on. read more

My family was traumatized and we have made a point of sharing our story. Our dog was there for 1 week. When we picked him he looked thin and was hoarse but we thought that was normal because he wasn't in familiar surroundings. The owner mentioned that he was in a room with several other dogs (not what we discussed on the phone) and had tried to get out repeatedly. As discussed we took his bed but it was never unrolled & given to him. Our dog is very energetic and playful so it was not like him to sleep for the first couple of days, then he stopped drinking and was leaving pools of diarrhea with blood every night. The Vet said he was severely dehydrated, had lost almost 10 lbs and had sustained an injury to his lower back (possibly from a kick or being closed in a gate). After $300 and several tests it was determined that he had a serious virus. Unfortunately he passed this virus to our other dog and she had to be treated as well. Our Vet and her office staff cringed when we mentioned Holiday Farms stating that they & others have treated many dogs after staying there. My wife called her and let her know that we were very upset. She became loud & defensive and hung up on her. Then she initiated a text conversation with her in which she personally attacked us, calling us names & saying our vet was liar. I let her know that we were giving her the opportunity to apologize or at least offer to refund a portion of the boarding fee. Another person may have taken legal action against her business. She continued to text my wife cursing us. She was ridiculously unprofessional, she had to ask her 3 times to stop texting her before the owner finally stopped. read more

Because I live in an apartment and cannot have a dog there, my dog has been at Holiday Farms for over a year. She loves it there. Unlike most pet boarding facilities, the dogs do hot stay in a stainless steel cage and get walked for a few minutes a day. The three acre facility has backyard sized pens. The dogs enjoy the outdoors and the companionship of the other dogs living on the property. During the year that I have left my dog there, I've noticed that the owner has a regular clientele who keep coming back because the dogs enjoy their stay. Keeping a dog in a small cage for days is not a good thing. Some dogs may not enjoy the outdoors or being around other dogs. Those dogs would probably be better off in a traditional boarding facility. But the dogs I see when visiting my dog like the place. read more

Ok I've been meaning to review about this place,I would never recommend this place to anyone. We left our dog there for a weekend last year and when we came to pick her up we were told that her dog mated with my dog. We had put on a paper that our dog was not fixed and to not let her be around males who were not fixed and she let her male dog who was the only unfixed male poodle dog there mate with her. I put on a calm face when she told me this, I was completely stunned. We still paid her even tho we shouldn't have. I think she was thinking $$ signs because my dog is an expensive breed and pups can be sold for thousands , but I don't ever intend to breed my dog it's too expensive. She's quite lucky as my dog didn't get pregnant after all, I would have probably have taken action if my dog in fact did get pregnant, I would have had her pay for all vet expenses and I would have kept all money from selling pups... But I'm soo glad my dog was not pregnant!!! The owner of this place, needs to be more careful about these things. Not all of us want our dogs to have puppies. Also they need to be more professional in a lot more areas. I was suprised that we didn't have to sign any papers when we left her. Also we did not get a receipt . It's really not a professional place. We will never again leave our baby there. read more
