We had our dog in this kennel because we were at a family reunion at Craguns and they don't allow pets. They took great care of our dog. We dropped him off on Friday and picked him up Sunday morning. They fed him, washed him, clipped his nails and washed his ears. First class service. Our dog was happy to see us and it was clear he was well cared for. This place gets a recommend from me! read more

While our Kitsy has been a frequent (and very happy) visitor to Northland Pet Lodge, as she has aged (15 years now) she has become a little more needy of affection. At her last week stay at Northland Pet Lodge, she came home feeling AND ACTING like a Queen! Many thanks to the compassionate staff at Northland Pet Lodge! read more

Until this past summer, I would have (and in fact, have) recommended Northland Pet Lodge to friends and relatives. I've been bringing my dog there for a week each summer for the last 8 years. But after this last summer, I'll never bring him back again. My dog has developed a leg and back problem that sometimes bothers him. When I dropped him off, I mentioned this and they assured me they'd keep an eye out for any problems. They had my phone number and the number of the resort I was staying at about 5 miles away. I dropped him off on Saturday morning. On Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, I went to go visit him and take him for a walk. They tried to bring him out and he could barely walk. He was stumbling and falling over quite a bit. He also had been chewing on his tail to the point where there were bloody sores all over it. Neither of these issues had ever happened before. I asked about the tail, and they said they hadn't noticed it. I asked about the walking, and they didn't really have a response. They finally said that they'd put something on his tail so that it stops bleeding and so he quits biting it. They also said they would move him to a quieter room and give him softer bedding. I called my vet, who said that if it was still bad the next morning, to remove him and take him home. I went back the next day and his leg was doing much better. When I came to pick him up on Saturday morning, I let them know how appalled I was at his treatment (or lack of it, actually) and asked to speak to the manager/owner. I was told he was on vacation and would call me when he got back. 2 or 3 weeks later, he finally did. To be fair, I never answered, because I can't imagine what they could have possibly done to make their inattentiveness/lazyness/ineptitude right after it already happened. I don't care about a refund, or an apology. I care about my dog's health and treatment. What blows my mind, was that at no point did they call me to let me know about the problems he was having. At no point did they call a vet (when you arrive, they have you sign a form authorizing them to call one if needed, which I signed). And at no point did they actually DO ANYTHING about his problems. They didn't even treat his tail until I brought it up. Oh, and the special quieter room with softer bedding that they told me they'd move him to? They never did. He was back in the same cage when I went to pick him up. Like I said, the first 7 years he was there, I had no problems and was happy with their care (although now I wonder if there really was much of it). But this last summer was completely appalling and unacceptable, and I won't be back. Nor will my friends. read more

This was our first experience boarding our dog, and it was great! She was tired and zonked out for most of the car ride home after we picked her up. She is high energy and it takes a lot to make her that tired. We are definitely happy with the experience and can't wait to bring her back in 2 weeks! read more

We had our dog Bailey stay there this last week for 4th of July. We are from out of town and nervous to have our 10 month pup not stay with us. However, this place was fantastic!!! The owner was great, very welcoming, high energy, and seemed to really care about the dogs. I felt immediately reassured dropping her off to stay there (we got her the suite). She seemed to love it, she was all tuckered out once we got home from all the puppy play time. Highly recommend this place!! read more

A big Thank You for taking such good care of our Charley dog. We never worry when we leave him there, we know he is in such good hands. After his grooming he looked like a 10 year old furry puppy. Your facility and staff is the best. read more
