K9 Resorts was very highly rated, and fairly close to our house. Every time my dog comes home from daycare he is exhausted. The second time I brought him in, he got so excited as soon as he recognized the place. All of the staff are incredibly friendly. They clearly care about him, and he absolutely loves going there. I love that they have different levels of rooms, depending on what your dog needs or you want. I prefer to do the completely private room, even though my dog is small, to lessen the external noises he has to hear. Around Halloween they had "trick or treat" bags for the dogs by the front desk. This place is amazing, and I highly recommend it!

Then there was a multi-week gap in communication and eventually a text saying she didn't have the time or energy to help my pup out, all despite me having pre-paid for a 5 session pack. To make matters worse, she overcharged me by $100 for the pack. The only silver lining is that I was able to negotiate a partial refund. The whole experience soured me on Pam 4 Paws.

We purchased her puppy package for in-home training sessions with our French Bulldog, Greta. Not only did Pam teach us how to interact with her, but Greta LOVED her and learned so much from her visits. At only four months, Greta is now potty trained, comes on command, sits on command, gives, 'hi-fives,' is crate trained, started to learn how to go on walks with a harness, knows command, 'up,' and 'off,' can fetch, and we learned how to calm her when she gets over stimulated. She even began some skateboarding with her! Of course we have to put in the work to continue to in grain these things in a puppy, but I can't even begin to convey the wealth of knowledge Pam imparted on us, so that we could acclimate more into puppy life and so Greta fit into ours. Pam teaches the human as well as the dog giving you a wealth of information, going above and beyond so that you know why a dog does the things they do, how to manage the behavior, and how the dog will absorb the training. She eased my worries and I was pleasantly surprised how expertly she worked with little ones. I can't recommend her services enough.

Each location is an individual franchise and the terms as well as prices per location is at the discretion of each franchisee. Furthermore, I had brought my dog here before and he did fine. It's a new location and the facility is clean. That said, I would recommend finding boarding at another location if possible. I had previously made a boarding reservation here for the holiday weekend for my dog. However, with inclement weather approaching, we changed our travel plans due to potential road conditions. I had to pay a deposit equal to half of the cost for stay. When I called, they said due to their policy of it being a holiday weekend, I would have to cancel 1 week in advance. Otherwise, they would keep my deposit. No exceptions. I had planned to drop my dog off Friday night with Tuesday pick up. I had called other franchises and each have their own policy. The other location required only a 50 dollar deposit refundable if cancelled 72 hours in advance. If cancelled within that 72 hour period, the 50 dollars is kept but credited to the owner's account. Compared to other franchises, this makes the cancellation policy at this location much worse. I will not be bringing my dog to this location again in the future.

A few months ago, we noticed that our chihuahua's breath had gotten significantly worse, and we…read moreknew we couldn't put off a dental cleaning any longer. Because our regular vet is both more expensive and farther away after we moved to South KC/Raytown, we decided to look around. We first visited another nearby clinic, where we were told she would likely need a full-mouth extraction. Wanting a second opinion and additional pricing, we called Companion Care to confirm they perform dental cleanings and extractions, and they said they did. We were scheduled quickly for an initial exam. That visit turned out to be not just unhelpful, but completely misleading. After seeking care elsewhere, our dog ultimately required a full-mouth extraction. She was already missing 12 teeth at the time of this visit, and many of the remaining teeth were loose. From the start, there were some concerning signs. At check-in, the receptionist weighed our dog and recorded her at 13 pounds--more than double her actual weight (she has consistently been just over 6 pounds). I've never had a receptionist handle weighing at any other veterinary clinic, which made the error feel even more unusual. After I questioned it, she was reweighed and the number corrected. In the exam room, the vet tech was the only part of the visit that inspired confidence. She handled our dog appropriately--gentle but secure--which is especially important for a small dog who may wiggle during exams. However, when the veterinarian examined her, it quickly became clear that a thorough evaluation was not going to happen. He appeared extremely hesitant and primarily focused on avoiding being bitten. While caution is understandable, our dog is not aggressive. I explained that she tends to wiggle rather than bite and has been groomed every two months for nine years without incident, as well as seen regularly by our previous vet. Despite that, he repeatedly withdrew his hands whenever she moved, which made it difficult for him to complete even a basic oral exam. He performed a very limited evaluation and ultimately told us that her teeth "weren't that bad," even pointing out that her front teeth looked "pretty white." This assessment was not just an underestimation--it was completely inconsistent with her actual condition. We specifically asked about dental X-rays, given her age (11 years old) and the likelihood of underlying dental disease. We were told they do not have X-ray equipment on-site and would not perform any imaging prior to a dental procedure. For dental work--especially in small or senior dogs--this is a significant limitation. We paid approximately $75 for this visit, but it did not provide an accurate or useful assessment of her condition. As mentioned, she ultimately required a full-mouth extraction, and many of her teeth were already missing or only loosely attached at the time of this exam. This experience was frustrating, but more importantly, concerning. A noticeably incomplete exam, combined with the absence of basic diagnostic tools and a significantly incorrect assessment, does not inspire confidence. Based on this experience, I would not trust this clinic with dental care--particularly for small or senior dogs.

While our family was out of town, my father boarded his dog at this facility. Due to inadequate security measures (confirmed by a confidential message to us by one of their employees) she got out and went missing on Friday morning. Shockingly, my father was not contacted until late Saturday afternoon and only received a vague text asking if he could talk. When he called back, there was no response. It wasn't until Sunday morning, (over 40 hours later) after he followed up again, that he was told his dog was missing. Even more concerning, the owner flat out lied about when the dog went missing. She claimed it happened on Saturday, but both the Humane Society and the Good Samaritan who found the dog confirmed it was Friday morning. This was not a misunderstanding--it was a clear attempt to mislead our family about the timeline. Thanks to the community, the dog was found and safely returned. However, the lack of timely communication, the negligence that led to her escape, and the dishonesty from the owner made a terrible situation even worse. Based on our experience, we cannot in good conscience recommend this facility to any pet owner.
