    Absolutely love the Ruff House!!! Wonderful staff who take wonderful care of our sweet little boy El mejor lugar para traer a sus perritos! Absolutamente recomendamos the Ruff House!

    Penelope LOVES coming to ruff house for daycare. All the dogs get a break in the middle of the day, which is great for a dog who otherwise would never stop running! We now have Halloween and Easter photos that they take on their cute backdrops, and on other days they have special add ons available like treat puzzles. They also take great care to make sure all dogs are healthy and safe around each other, which I appreciate so much. Penelope recently also did her first overnight boarding stay. I was nervous about leaving her, but she did great and the staff were happy to answer my questions and give updates while she was there. She also got a report card upon getting picked up! Most importantly, you can tell that everyone here truly loves the dogs. This has been so helpful for me to feel good leaving my baby with them!

    I love Ruff House, I have been taking my 2 year old Cane Corso Luna here for over a year for day care and occasional boarding, and have also done a training program with them. The staff are all lovely, they treat the pups great, reasonably priced. I highly suggest them to keep an eye on your fur baby.

    Nice touch on special days! Ruff house knows how to make dog mom feel special

    My poodle Ozzy loves Ruff House! Every time we pull up to the gate, he gets super excited. He always runs up to greet the staff and let them know he is ready to play without even a second glance my way! I love Ruff House too, the staff really do love their job. The best part is the cameras in the play yard. It always warms my heart to see staff loving on the dogs. They are also very patient, Ozzy can be a pill, but they always have nice things to say and give him appropriate breaks when he needs them! We use both the day care and boarding and honestly I wouldn't trust anyone else with my precious boy. He always comes home tired, healthy and happy! Just the way I want him this ball of energy to be after a day at day care! They have recently started doing special things on certain days. Sometimes it is a special treat, a picture, or activity such as ball time or bubbles! I always get a picture or video sent to me when Ozzy participates. Nice touch!

    I absolutely LOVE Ruff House! When I got my baby Margot (the macaroni noodle) I knew that I wanted to socialize her and give her a place where she could run around and play safely! Major bonus that they have a pool for how these little space heaters warm up in our summer months. Not only are all the staff incredibly kind and wonderful, they send photos occasionally of your pup, will share little stories about them if you bring your pups often, keep a careful eye on temperament and injuries, have SO many additional activities AND have amazing trainers/staff members. Michelle the GM is incredible and funny and kind! Every time I bring Margot in she is so friendly. I've read reviews on here before that say otherwise and I'm going to tell you they are totally wrong. Totally. Wrong. I honestly adore her and her staff! Anyway, Miss macaroni loves this place!! And when I travel for work, I love knowing I can bring her somewhere she is so safe and comfortable. When I first started to bring her I'd watch her on the web cam to see how she was doing. She hid a lot the first time or two (she was only about 4 months at the time). Now if I watch after I drop her off all I see is her running amok looking for new friends to play with. It's really contributed to how well she gets on with other dogs and how much fun and curious and brave she is! Thank you Ruff House for being so amazing!

    Castiel in the play yard

    The Ruff House is amazing!! Castiel hates riding in the car, but as soon as we get to "school" he perks right up and races me to get in the front door! The staff here is incredible! You can tell that they really enjoy seeing all the pups. They always let me know how my pup did during the day and knowing that I can check in on the cameras during the day to see him playing is pretty cool too! They have several events during the month that your pup can participate in for training and stimulation. I also love that they do holiday photos too! Turns out my pup makes a really good Easter Bunny!! I highly recommend the Ruff House, and so does Cass!

    I started bringing my pup here about two years ago. He is a German Shepherd Husky mix who can be very timid around new spaces, anxious about being alone, and stubborn. I had never trained or had a dog on my own before. Ruff House was a godsend. Stitch was 7 months old when Sarah helped train him through the 3-week board-and-train program. She worked wonders and was undoubtedly worth the investment. We were able to go to coffee shops and study, he let little kids stick fingers in his nose, go on off-leash hikes, and set the foundation for cohabitating with cats. The staff is fantastic and so supportive. Even after training, Sarah would check in and help me tweak things to improve behavior. Every time we pull into the driveway, he gets so excited. Whether it's daycare, boarding, or a spa day, Ruff House is my go-to. They are the place I can count on to love Stitch as much as I do.

    Molly loves training with Sarah!
    lolo G.

    Molly has a great time at Ruff House! Thank you so much Sarah Samson! You are my rock star trainer. Molly just completed the puppy boot camp. From the socialization to the home work and one on one with me Sarah is the absolute best!! It is totally worth it for the puppy boot camp. We are looking forward to continuing our training with Molly. We will see you soon for more day care adventures.

    I absolutely love the Ruffhouse and the services they provide. I am comfortable knowing that my dog Bo is in good hands when I drop him off everyday!

    Grizel R.

    We have been taking Dino here since he was a pup, and he loves it! The employees are always so nice and take great care of Dino. They also have little activities throughout the week. I would recommend this place to all our dogs lovers.

    Happy pup after a day at day camp

I decided to try out Happy Dog Resort today. It was a pleasant experience for both my dog( Einstein ) and for me! When I called the office on Tuesday to schedule a day for playtime, Britany was so helpful & professional in scheduling and preparing my dog for his playtime. She understood my concerns that I had at the other dog camp. She told me that I should take a tour first ( without my dog) just to see the facilities. She called my veterinarian to get Einstein's vaccination records. So helpful that she did that instead of me bringing all his records. They also require a fecal test to make sure your dog doesn't have any parasites. All I had to do was to bring a stool sample and they took care of it. I received notification via email the following day that Einstein test was negative and all clear for him to go ... I took a tour with Alex on Tuesday afternoon. She was awesome and asked me questions about my dog regarding to his personality and behavior and clearly explained every play area ( each play area is designated accordingly to dog size and temperament. Today I took Einstein for playtime. In order to have my dog have a stay & playtime, they recommend that you bring in your dog in the morning for observation and to see how well your dog does with other dogs. It took about 3 hours. Andrea was awesome as well! She called me around 10:30 am to tell me that Einstein did so well and he's having a great time playing with his doggie friends in play area #3. She said that I can view Einstein on my portal that I set up with Happy Dog Resort. Which by the is a great website and portal to not only view the dog play area, but she took photos of Einstein playing throughout the day with other dogs. It was so comforting for me that Einstein did so well and and I'm looking forward to boarding him in the near future without any reservations and hesitation! Thank you Happy Dog Resort for creating a home away from home for Einstein!

Given that he has always been social and has attended daycares since he was 14 weeks old, this raises concerns about whether breed bias may be playing a role. I also noticed an $8 fee for someone to stand next to a dog while they eat lunch, which feels unusual and excessive. The front desk staff has always been kind, but there is one employee who creates the social media videos who consistently avoids greeting customers and immediately goes to the back whenever someone approaches. It contributes to an overall feeling of poor customer service. Because of these issues, we'll be returning to Ufuria in Rancho Cucamonga.

My wife and I did what any responsible pet parents would do: administered a full‑scale COVID‑era haircut and booked a 9 AM nail‑trim appointment to finish the job. Once the shop opened, we learned the entire operation was being run by one heroic human that morning. One. A whole grooming shop held together by sheer willpower and caffeine. After we explained Sawyer's situation, this absolute saint of a groomer didn't just agree to trim his nails -- she offered to clean him up for a small fee, with the kind of patience and warmth that could calm a tornado. Minutes later, out strutted a brand‑new dog. Freshly trimmed, nails immaculate, tail wagging like he'd just won a beauty pageant. I tipped more than I planned, but honestly, it still wasn't enough. She earned every penny with her kindness, her skill, and that unwavering smile that said, "Yes, I am single‑handedly keeping this place running, and no, you will not see me break." I wish I remembered her name, but I'll never forget the impression she made. She opened the shop on June 6th and represented that establishment with pride, grit, and genuine heart -- a true gem in the grooming world. PHOTO: Sawyer and Reed

She took her back, and they prescribed steroids, but they didn't help. She returned, expressing her frustration, and by this point, she was desperate to find a solution for her puppy's condition. Instead of collaborating with her and potentially suggesting some ideas, the doctor seemed uninterested in understanding the issue. When my daughter asked him what they could try, all he could say was, "Well, you can." He offered no suggestions whatsoever. My daughter even suggested a biopsy, which he had recommended during the previous appointment, and suddenly, it was "well, we can." Naturally concerned about her dog's well-being, my daughter returned, and they prescribed her Metoclopramide. However, this made her worse. She became lethargic, refused to eat, and slept excessively, acting completely different from her usual self. Instead of trying to diagnose the problem, they seemed more interested in masking the symptoms. As a result, we still don't know what's wrong with her. I believe that when they see my daughter, they perceive her as a young child, which is why they treated her differently. I would strongly advise against visiting this vet. These veterinarians don't care about the animals or their owners; they're just there to make money. They don't want to put in the effort to figure out what's wrong with the animals; they simply want everything to be easy. I feel that since they couldn't figure it out, they didn't want to deal with it anymore. The last visit, my daughter also asked if she would still be able to be spayed even though she's been vomiting. The vet proceeded to tell her yes, she doesn't have to tell them that she's vomiting.
