    Belthazar and friend!!
    Tamara K.

    The treatment and care my Belthazar receives everyday is phenomenal!!! He can't wait to go in every morning. Tail wags for Underdog Kennel!!

    I have been taking my puppy to Underdog Kennels regularly for daycare, since he was 4 months old and he loves it. He is very excited when he meets anyone in Underdog Kennels when I drop him off. I'm at peace when I leave him as he is excited to go. The picture updates during the playtime is absolute best idea, I quickly check during the day if he is doing okay. Here are some pictures of his playtime, he has the absolute best time with his buddies. Pictures don't lie, it is indeed a happy place for my puppy

    We love Underdog Kennels and their staff! Our pup loves going and playing with all the staff and other dogs. They are so attentive and responsive to all our needs. We also love the check-ins throughout the day. It makes us so happy to see Archer having a fun day. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    Excellent for dogs daycare and boarding. They all care for your pets and share photos on Facebook. It's currently the only service I trust in DFW with my pups.

    I recently moved to Dallas and found Underdog a Kennels on Yelp. This is the place to take your dog! The owner was super nice when I called to get more information. My dog absolutely loves going here. I am pretty nervous about dropping her off at new places but this place is a place I can trust. The first day they provided me with her report card. I requested her to stay again and they approved it almost immediately. I love that the dogs have long days and opportunities to play all day. They also provide lunch (I sent my dogs food with her because she's a little picky with food). I also really like that they post pictures so you can see how your dog day is going. Overall this is the BEST place in Dallas to drop off your dog!

    WOW WOW WOW!!! I have two poodles that are more than just pets they are family!!! So making sure that they are always well kept for and safe is extremely important to me!! Bentley and Domino absolutely love Underdog Kennels!!! I've used other Kennels before but none have even come close to the level of service from Underdog!!! It brings my heart joy to view the photos throughout the day of them playing and enjoying new friends!! Underdog even gave my boy Bentley a mini birthday party/gift!!! Thank you for all the love and care you show my boys!!!

    The gang is all here!

    Our Aussie mix just loves this place! They post photos during day play- daily on their FB page. Easy to keep tabs on your pup that way. Easy drop Off, they have a yelp coupon for first timers. Oliver stayed for 9 days in a VIP suite. He came back to us happy and tired! Follow him on Instagram @oliver_hercules_iii

    I discovered Underdog Kennels on Groupon. They offered a great deal - 5 days of daycare for $50. Whaaat?! They are located near my work, so Hubby and I booked the deal and tried them out. Bailey had the best day. They post so many photos on Facebook during the day, showing the fun that the pups are having. Bailey came home tired and happy. I love the friendliness of the staff. They make you feel comfortable leaving your dog for the day. When my five days are over, we will be using them again! Give them a try. You won't regret it!

    Ask my dog if he likes it here....

    Best place ever! I've tried other daycares just to experiment, and let me say my dog makes it CLEAR this is where he wants to be! The staff is incredible. I'm super obnoxious and ask them way too many questions (food, poop, behavior-related....you name it) but what blows my mind is they always have an answer. They know every move my dog made that day & can report back to me no problem. My dog is on the smaller side but somehow manages to DRAG me inside once we arrive b/c he's so excited. Just a few examples of them going above & beyond: 1. Any time I've told them he's struggling with digestive issues they offer to put pumpkin in his food. 2. One time I brought my friend's dog that Moose loves to play with along with us to daycare on a holiday weekend but he hadn't been temperament tested yet. The owner offered to do it herself before the first group went out at 8:45AM so he could play! 3. Also when I've brought my friend's dog, they put the dogs in rooms where they could see each other :) 4. They've told me anytime he's thrown up even without me asking. 5. They just literally love my dog as much as I do! All of this to say, I 100% recommend Underdog Kennels!

    I had to leave town unexpectedly and had never used Underdog Kennels before. The Staff processed my dog's intake documents quickly and was able to approve her appointment right away. The staff welcomed my dog upon arrival and made her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up 5 days later she came out of the pick-up door SMILING!!! She was energetic and happy!! It was very apparent she had enjoyed her stay! I LOVED the report she received upon check out. It mentioned the qualities the staff had noticed she exhibited and listed the names of her favorite playmates.

    There hours have become so restrictive and they charge too much. Go to All American Pet Resorts. Far superior in so many ways!

It has taken me several months to digest the horror that I saw and to decide how to review. There was a worker sitting in the lobby with a blonde long hair miniature dachshund pinned to the ground by her collar with the worker's foot the whole time I was there. This is humane "training" for a breed susceptible to esophageal collapse and IVDD? Disgusting. You can see in a large window to the right of the lobby with all of the small dogs. Around 20+ dogs in a small concrete room all agitated and barking at once. Many appeared in true distress. One small cot for an elderly dog. A girl went in to scoop poop and did not interact with any dogs. I asked why no interaction and the response was "if you show one small dog attention they will all want attention." Heartbreaking. THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR ACCEPTABLE!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH, TAKE FULL TOURS, ETC. THERE ARE TOO MANY EXCELLENT DAYCARE/BOARDING FACILITIES IN DALLAS. I WENT ON TO TOUR MANY OTHERS AND THIS WAS THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF ALL OF THEM. TRULY HORRIFYING; OWNER MICHAEL SULLIVAN AND MANAGER LAURY MCCONNELL SHOULD ACTUALLY BE REPORTED TO THE SPCA. YOUR DOG DESERVES A HUMANE FACILITY!

Their prices are a bit lower than others and I LOVE that they offer Dremel nail service, which is perfect for dogs with long quicks. That confirmed my decision to try this place. It has been a challenge finding anyone who can trim one of my pug's long quicks without hurting him, so I was excited. I dropped the pugs off at 1pm and they were ready around 4:45pm on a Friday (they recently changed grooming services to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). The pugs were happy upon pickup and continued throughout the evening as well as smelled pleasant. Their nails looked amazing, and no bleeding occurred. The groomer even showed me her Dremel tool and the safety feature on it to protect dogs' nails. It is always a concerning risk to try a new groomer for various reasons, and I'm so glad I chose Pierre's. I also like that I only needed to show updated rabies vaccinations and not additional shots like many places require simply for grooming. The owner Jobbi managed the phones from the first time I called about pricing and services to scheduling to picking up the pugs. He is extremely friendly and conversational; I never felt rushed. Pierre's is in a cute little house right on Lovers Lane with easy access. I highly recommend them for grooming!

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive to my puppy, who thoroughly enjoys her time with the staff and the other dogs! They even celebrate birthdays! I really appreciate that they have the dogs on a regimented schedule instead of confined to one playroom room all day. The dogs have personal time, indoor play, and outdoor play time (each with similar sized dogs). For personal time, each dog has a roomy open-air suite with food/water bowls, a bed, and toys (if you opt to pack them in their daycare bag). For flat-faced breeds like mine, they provide slanted bowls. Although there aren't livestream cameras, the team posts photo dumps to the Facebook group every afternoon (see examples)! Also worth noting, the team is quick to flag any upcoming vaccination needs or behavior changes. They keep a very close eye on the dogs. Lastly, the hours they offer are unmatched. Drop-off opens at 7:30am and pick-up closes at 7:45pm. In summary - The attention to detail that the staff has is exemplary, and their patience and love for dogs fosters a tail-wag inducing environment!

Every experience has been stellar, and she always comes home happy and with a perfect hairstyle. She gets a super short cut, and not once has there ever been a nick, abrasion, illness, or grooming mistake. I also had a doberman that attended daycare regularly, and he would run inside so fast he would practically knock the door down and run them over to get to the play yards! I love the consistency in the friendly staff (no high turnover and the manager has been there since it opened over 10 yrs ago) and how they always know who Madeline is. There is also incredible communication with the clients, and the facility is always spotless and smells nice and clean (which is not an easy feat with a bunch of doggie butts running around!)

They made him so soft and fluffy. They left his hair with a good length still. He's cute immediately after haircut now. Best groomer weve ever used.
