How their website has been FOREVER! Don't gaslight people on pricing and then lie about it.
Morgan L.

My mom recommend this place because our other dog seems to enjoy it and it's close. Against my judgment and the reviews, I brought my 7 month yorkie in for a nail trimming and ended up opting for a bath because the pricing online said it would be less combined. They operate on a walk in basis but I was told to come back at 2:30p after I arrived at 1. Luke Luther I can't remember his name was nice before the appointment but seemed overwhelmed and a little passive near the end. This is my puppies first time someone else giving her a bath so of course she will be anxious. He said he was asked to come to the back to assist with Beau (my baby) bc she was squirmy. The young lady brought her out 5 minutes later only towel dried and said basically that was the best she could do. They said they only use towels and a blow dryer. Why not invest in an option where some dogs might find that too much? I blow dry her all the time. He said she may just be comfortable with you. Of course she is. I asked if I would be receiving a discount for a half wet dog bc now I have to dry her before finishing my day. He said no. So, I asked can they please try and get her a little more dry than she is. He muttered under his breath several remarks like "I guess" "We don't like to do that bc it stresses them out" and when he exited the room to bring her back says to Beau " I'm sorry I didn't want to do that to you". I waited 6 MONTHS to bring her to someone until she was comfortable getting baths/blow dried with me. Not sure what goes on when they're "bathing" them bc there are no windows like in the front where you can actually see the groomer. Why not offer the owner to come back with the pet to see if that helps? And not have another dog in the same room barking their head off at her? He basically rushed me saying she's really is pretty, have a good day in a disgusting tone forgetting I hadn't paid. Realizing that, this man told me it would be $25 and that I only had to pay for the bath and they weren't charging for her nails. He then proceeded to gaslight light me on the pricing when I tried to understand how I wasn't charged for everything. I read their website multiple times before deciding to bring my puppy in. READ PICTURE. My yorkie is 4.4lbs. I wanted to double check I read correctly so I asked him "I thought smaller dogs/breeds were cheaper than that even with just a bath" he said like 3-4 different things than what it said on the website. "Breeds don't count...the weight doesn't matter...the pricing on the website is wrong..." I said no, the website says dogs less than 10lbs is $15 and if you add nail grinding it's $10. He says, well I guess you payed the regular price then. I said yeah... Honestly, this is why I'm so hesitant to let these businesses watch over my Beau bc the way I was treated and the passive aggressive tone is enough for me to not give you another dime. The price wasn't awful and that's why I gave them a shot and this review may hurt my chances of emergency boarding at some point but oh well. It also smells horrible and they try to mask it with candles. READ REVIEWS AND TRUST YOUR GUT!

after reading all of the reviews, some things make sense to me now. I didn't know that this facility had STRICT no humping policy. I dropped my dog off in the morning and got a call A few hours later, saying that he had failed the temperament test because of this. The immediate inside of the building is cute, but I feel like it might be different in the back where all the dogs are kept. The staff up front were pretty nice, although a bit unorganized when I arrived in the morning. I don't think they even reviewed any of my paperwork that I had sent in. When I got home, my dog was EXTREMELY thirsty, and drank for a minute straight, which I found very unnerving.... that's enough reason for a 1 star from me. I will be searching elsewhere for higher quality of care, a place with webcams, and definitely be looking at reviews before I commit to anywhere.

Cut made by the groomer.

Apparently, there is a lack of communication between the staff in this place. I was quoted one price and after the grooming received way over what was quoted to me. Although , my dog haven't been here in a good while and I believe prices do go up due to inflation, I was truly shocked with that price . Not only that but, grooming took way too long although, I did get a call stating she would be a little late. My biggest issue was the cut my dog received on top of his ear no one mentioned when I picked him up.

My dog Zelda after boarding here, she doesn't even have exceptionally runny eyes. Clearly no one cleaned it for 12 days.
Trey W.

I'd strongly advise anyone to avoid this place for boarding any dog. We left our mini Schnauzer here for 12 days because we were going overseas. When we picked her up one of her eyes was so full of matted dirt and mucus she couldn't even see out of it. Who knows how long they left her like this. I completely expect my dog to be smelly and dirty after boarding, I always plan a bath when we get home. I completely understand that baths at this facility cost extra because they take significant time from the staff. What is completely unacceptable is that no one on the staff could spare 30 seconds to wipe her eye with a wet paper towel and spare her that abuse. Never again. Next time I will choose a place with cameras or that takes pictures so I have some sort of oversight to my dog's treatment. -------------------- My second complaint would be that in a boarding situation they will not give a toy to your dog because it is a "choking hazard". This is completely non-nonsensical, how could your dog suddenly choke on a hard nylon toy she's had her entire life? I suspect the real reason is that the policy is in place to reduce the amount of effort on Dog Diggity's part in terms of picking up or keeping track of the toys. For any dog that may not be exceptionally social to be in the cage for days with no stimulus is unethical.

When my husband picked my dog up she was frantic to leave and shaking. She seemed terrified. We will not be back.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Sabadish. I've had dogs, one after another, since…read morechildhood, and have interacted with many vets throughout my life, some great, some not so much. Dr. Sabadish really stands out. When my husband's beloved pug, Wally, was old and ailing, Dr. Sabadish provided thoughtful and compassionate care not just for the dog, but for my husband. She clearly wanted the best for his dog and for my husband. She considered cost concerns automatically, without being asked. When it was time to end Wally's pain, Dr. Sabadish was extremely calming and kind. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. We have one dog left who is the sweetest, gentlest creature on earth. He is now middle-aged/senior and has had some health concerns cropping up. I'm pretty obviously a high-anxiety dog parent, but Dr. Sabadish doesn't blink at patiently answering all of my questions and giving us her detailed thoughts, presented without sugarcoating, yet with compassion. She is obviously extremely smart and clearly truly loves animals, but the thing that stands out even more about Dr. Sabadish is how good she is with the people who love those animals. At this point, I would not trust my amazing dog to any other veterinarian. As for Hidden Valley in general, we have had nothing but easy, positive, friendly interactions with everyone there. We are really impressed.

Their vets are great, but their 'management' actively canceled my auto renewal pet insurance at the…read moreend of April so that I received a surprise $300 + checkup/immunization bill (over the monthly premium) that should/would have been covered by my insurance. The office manager was cavalier about my 'unfortunate' added expense and her failure to follow up to make sure that I was notified (she clearly is not living on retirement funds). Their corporate office is likely ecstatic for the additional cash which is why their 'notice' was buried among their own weekly spam emails and the other barrage of emails that I/we all get. side note: when I made the appointment, I was not told/reminded about their cancellation of my pet insurance, either. PS. I'm not in MN, is google on drugs?

My husband and I traveled to NC for a long weekend and this place is beyond our expectations…read more Definitely one of the best Dogtopia I have ever been to. Their staff is extremely friendly and professional. They did so many little things to make me feel extremely welcoming, like their welcome board and report cards. My dog also loves playing here. He followed and stayed with the staff in the playroom all the time. I can tell he got tons of pet from her. I am also really impressed with the transfer process. Since my dogs go to our local Dogtopia very often, I request a information transfer so that I do not need to go through the entire initial evaluation. My local Dogtopia and Dogtopia of Harrison Ave had a very fast and efficient communication and helped me finish the transfer process within 5 hours. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again when we travel to NC in the future.

To Whom It May Concern,…read more I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my experience with Dogtopia's handling of my adopted dog during multiple visits and boarding stays. Across these interactions, I observed repeated communication inconsistencies, a lack of transparency regarding incidents, and increasingly unprofessional conduct toward my pet. Records show staff provided conflicting explanations about my dog's behavior and condition. At times, I was told my dog was "great overnight," while at other times staff described him as "grumpy," "snappy," "overstimulated," or involved in behavioral incidents. There were also discrepancies regarding the cause of my dog's limp and paw injury. These inconsistencies created confusion and concern regarding the accuracy of incident reporting, staff supervision, and the overall handling of my pet. Communications frequently came across as defensive and dismissive of my concerns rather than providing clear, professional, and collaborative updates. I am concerned my dog was unfairly labeled as aggressive while staff simultaneously acknowledged he was placed in overstimulating and crowded environments without access to calmer accommodations. This raises concerns that environmental management and supervision may have contributed to the reported incidents. Additionally, some staff communications became excessive and distressing, feeling accusatory and intimidating rather than compassionate or solution-oriented. As the owner of an adopted pet, I expected consistent, professional care and respectful communication. I respectfully request the following actions: Conduct a formal review of how my pet was managed while in Dogtopia's care. Review staff communication practices and incident reporting procedures for consistency and accuracy. Provide clarification regarding the conflicting explanations concerning my dog's injury and behavior. Ensure fair and professional treatment for all customers and adopted pets, free from bias, intimidation, or unnecessary escalation. Take appropriate corrective actions to improve transparency, accountability, and customer relations moving forward. This complaint is supported by documented text communications from Dogtopia staff describing the incidents, behavioral assessments, injury explanations, and subsequent interactions. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter and request that this complaint be formally documented and reviewed. Sincerely, [Redacted] Supporting Notes From Communications * Staff initially stated there were "no issues," then later reported aggression and overstimulation concerns. * Conflicting explanations were provided regarding the source of my dog's limp and paw injury. * Staff acknowledged the playroom was unusually busy and that calmer rooms were unavailable on certain days. * Repeated behavioral accusations were made while also acknowledging environmental overstimulation and lack of separation options.

The other one is sweet natured, but barks incessantly in any new situation or when other people or dogs are encountered. They both love Amber, and she is better able to handle them than any dog trainer I have used. (And I have used numerous.) Amber not only provides walks and play time, but it is clear that she has been helping to train the dogs. They have shown significantly improved behavior on walks after she has been working with them. She is extremely patient with them and clearly cares for them. Both dogs love her, and I can't imagine using anyone else. Amber has provided daily walks for extra exercise and has also cared for them when I was traveling. Neither dog seems to miss me when I am out of town....which I consider to be the best recommendation possible! She seems to truly understand them and goes out of her way to make sure they are happy and comfortable. She is an absolute natural around dogs, and I'd recommend her to anybody.
