I hate writing a negative review and would normally just let it go, but I can't in good conscience…read morerecommend this business for daycare as my life and my pups life has been completely altered after sending him here. I moved to Boston in November and decided to send my dog to daycare and boarding here as it's close by to my home. Previously my dog was in daycare for years in our other city we lived in and he absolutely loved it. Immediately upon arriving to this location it is incredibly small. I believe they take the pups on pack walks so they're not inside the whole day. It's so small inside I don't see how they even have enough room to play. I started sending my dog here on Saturdays and I noticed he would start crying when we would turn onto the block. I'd drop him off and he would have a complete meltdown and I didn't understand why, as the staff here is incredibly kind. I also had to start traveling for work, so when my pet sitter couldn't stay with him I'd send him to boarding, which they'd transport him to their Roxbury location. It was like pulling teeth to get any updates on how he was doing. They don't answer their texts sometimes for a full day. I had to beg them to finally start uploading a report card just to know how he was doing or if he was ok. The lack of communication alone should have been a big enough red flag to stop sending him here, along with the stress he seemed to be under upon drop off and pick up. In January I sent him for boarding for a work trip and a couple days after I picked him up he got incredibly sick. He ended up having to be hospitalized for a couple of days and I paid almost $10k in vet bills. They said he likely caught something from another dog. Several months later, again after a work trip he now won't let any of my dog walkers approach him with his prong collar. I don't know if maybe someone at the Roxbury location handled him aggressively with his collar, but he's 5 years old and has been wearing this collar since he was a year and a half old. We have never had issues with it until I started sending him here. I have no idea if something happened to him at that location since their communication is abysmal. A couple of days after this, I saw a Facebook thread of a woman who sent their dog here for a simple nail trim and they gave her pup back with a popped blood vessel in its eye and said they had no video footage to provide when she asked. Everyone in the comments said that a popped blood vessel in the eye is a sign of strangulation, and people started sharing their terrible experiences about this place. This would make sense why my pup doesn't want anything near his neck anymore. I'm not sure why there aren't many google reviews, but there were hundreds of comments of people sharing their unsettling stories here. On top of the financial stress this has put me under, I've also had to completely change my work schedule to walk my dog since he doesn't trust any walkers anymore. I now have him in a harness and have been doing more training with him, but I've had to cancel all of my travel for work because of this. I've never had any behavioral issues with my dog until sending him here.

**Health & Welfare Concerns as well as lack of organization and accountability**…read more During my dog's recent 4-day stay, multiple serious issues emerged: **Health & Welfare Concerns:** When I picked up my dog, it was immediately apparent she had not been given adequate access to water. Her oral mucosa was extremely dried out--a clear sign of dehydration. This is a basic care requirement for any boarding facility. They also did not give her medications correctly, giving them at the incorrect time of day which can cause adverse health outcomes. **Lack of Organization & Accountability:** When I arrived for pickup, the staff didn't know where my dog was. She was described as being "somewhere in the groom area on the second floor." Despite having her grooming started at 11 AM, at 5:30 PM when I arrived, there was no clear tracking of her location or status. More troubling: she was supposed to return to daycare, which was explicitly included in the premium boarding package I paid for. **Hidden Fees & Price Gouging:** Beyond the already expensive room rate, Red Dog charges for everything, including bagging food but not returning the individual food containers your drop off, while refusing to provide any transparency about what actually happens behind closed doors. You pay premium prices for services you can't verify are being delivered. **Unsubstantiated & Inappropriate Allegations:** Most concerning: Red Dog claimed my dog, who is a certified therapy dog with extensive professional experience in hospitals and clinical settings, tried to bite someone during grooming. This allegation contradicts her entire behavioral history and working credentials. As well as impeccable boarding, grooming and daycare experiences at other facilities. Red Dog Boarding demonstrates poor animal care standards, organizational chaos, aggressive pricing practices, and a troubling lack of accountability.

When I picked him up, he seemed unusually withdrawn and upset -- something I've never seen in him before. A couple of days later, he became protective of his food and even bit me, which has never happened in the past. This behavior change makes me question how he was treated or what kind of environment he was in during his stay. I wish I had more transparency about how the dogs are handled and supervised. For anyone considering this place, please make sure you ask detailed questions about their care routines and how they manage stress or behavioral issues. I'm honestly heartbroken and won't be bringing my dog back.

Kai was super thorough during sign ups. She came to my house for a 1 on 1 consultation (COVID safe of course) and talked to me about Tilley's needs and what she could offer. I ended up having Tilley walked 3x/week. I swear my little girl had an extra wiggle each time she came home from her pack walk. Matt was Tillz dog walker and I truly have nothing but great things to say about him. He is prompt, so nice, and Tilley absolutely loves him. He is the only person she will bolt downstairs for at the door (she's a little lazy, I usually need to give her a little tug). She came back happy, exercised, and exhausted. All the things I want my little fur-ball to feel after a nice long walk. Also, I had a training session with Bria and she is a lifesaver. She trained me how to train Tilley and I've never looked back; Till is like a different dog now. I will 100% be using her services for training in the near future. All in all, I highly recommend Happy Paws for all of your pups needs (I say pups because no matter the age, all dogs are pups). If you're in the area, the team certainly won't disappoint!
