I just picked up my 10-year-old toy dog from Dogtopia today after a full week stay--which is a long…read moretime for him--and I honestly can't say enough good things. He looks amazing. Somehow, he seems younger: more energy, more interest in his surroundings, and noticeably more alert. On his walk, he had a new spring in his step (he's usually stiff after sleeping most of the day) and was focused and eager to move forward. He typically barks at strangers, but this time showed no interest--and dare I say, he even seemed better trained. At home, he wasn't food-focused in his behavior, and I truly believe he thinks he's still going to get the same level of activity and stimulation he enjoyed at Dogtopia. One of the best parts of his time there is the professional, supervised interaction with other dogs his own size. I never second-guess taking him to Dogtopia. The results speak for themselves.

As a child, I grew up with a herd of cats and dogs, so I could be the ultimate fur mom except that,…read moreas an adult, I am allergic to cats and dogs with cat-like hair. However, this minor flaw does not keep me from shopping for friends with fur babies. Specifically, I was looking for a dog toy as a gift as Mud Puppies came highly recommended. Mud Puppies is located on Highway 620 in a shopping strip mall. The front desk staff greeted me warm and friendly. I was immediately offered assistance and pointed to an assortment of dog toys. In fact, I did not know that there were so many dog toys. In fact, momentarily I was paralyzed with fear of making a decision. After exploring some possibilities, I decided to defer my decision until I looked at one more place. Mud puppies also offers Playcare, just like day care for children but for dogs in addition to pet grooming and boarding. The team works with each dog's unique personality. Based on my interactions with the staff, I would feel comfortable leaving a dog with them.

Pam and her team and Paws Landing are GREAT!! My husband and I are "new" to having a puppy and…read moreresearched online the local places that had "doggy day care". We went to a couple of places, one even where you can watch on an app that was closer to us, but when we went to visit the place, we did not like the "vibe" of the place. When we took a tour (just call, and they will let you take a look at the facility before hand) of Paws Landing, we immediately felt great! We had our puppy for an half day "evaluation" with Durenda, which also made us feel at ease. She is marvelous!!! When we picked her up from that, she went over everything she did, and how she thought our puppy would do. They had her in a small yard first and let our puppy feel safe before they had her with the other dogs. I really like too, how they have the dogs separated into "small dogs", " large dogs" and "very active dogs". She has a great team working with her, watching over them, and most importantly taking care of them all day. They will always send you a text and email to confirm your reservation, which is great. They go inside and outside to play all day. If they go "all day" they will get a 2-hour rest, so they get a break from all the fun! But, believe me, when you pick your dog, they will be tired when they get home, which is "good thing"! Pam will send you pictures later via text of your dog, which is great to see at the end of the day. Now, that my dog has gone for awhile, she gets excited when we get there, and she is excited to see Pam and her team when I drop her off. Look no further for a great place for "doggy day care", Pam and her team will take VERY GOOD care of them, like they were one of their own!!!

The facility is spotlessly clean, which gives me total peace of mind when leaving my pet there. It's also in a super convenient location off US-183, easy to get to from Leander and surrounding areas. What really sets them apart is the 24-hour staffing--they provide round-the-clock care for boarded animals, so I never have to worry about my dog being alone overnight. We've used them for both daycare and overnight boarding multiple times, and it's been a fantastic experience every single time. I highly recommend Paws Landing for anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their furry family members!

My dog had some hesitation at first but is always happy to arrive there now. The place looks clean and the staff is very professional. The only thing I don't like is that they don't allow the dogs to play after they get a bath. I get it but I also figure she will be cleanER...but that's me and I know it probably creates problems with other people. Overall a super nice staff that seem to genuinely love the pups they work with! Not cheap - but as with most things, you get what you pay for.

We have used them for years for boarding when we went away on vacation, but recently we had my father-in-law move in with us while he was on hospice. Winston was not a big fan of his nurse, so we put him in daycare at Happy Tails. It was the best thing that ever happened to Winston. They were patient, kind, and always loving towards him. He loves going there and jumps into the car when you tell him where he's going. We will be forever grateful for the peace of mind that Happy Tails gave us during a very tough time in our lives.

Staff at other facilities were scared of him, and all I wanted was to help him adjust to people and the world around him. Then I found Happy Tails and spoke with the amazing manager Chris. After sharing my experience, he invited Orion in to assess his behavior, telling me that Orion most likely just needed to be playgroups to match his energy! They paired him with a staff dog, and Orion did great! While he barked at staff initially, they quickly saw he wasn't aggressive--just in need of reassurance and patience. Now, every time Orion boards or attends daycare, they match him with other high-energy pups, and he has the best time. The staff truly cares, and they've created a space where Orion can just be his goofy self. I'm so thankful for all of you--thank you for everything!

Your dog is given the best type of socialization with other dogs of similar size and energy. Along with the solicitation, you get to learn valuable lessons on how to train and prepare your dog to be the best pet around. What makes this place better than the rest is the property. After touring multiple day cares in Austin, you soon learn that they all give the dogs a box the size of a bedroom to try and get their energy out. HP takes it to the next level with a massive field with toys and obstacles that they can run until they're tired. Our pup would come back each week, and instantly pass out. One word of advice, if you have a dog like ours, be prepared for a bath when you get home, because they will come home dirty. This is definitely not the place if you are trying to keep your dog clean. That being said, it is worth the bath.

A close friend had already used her services for training and weekly pack walks, and their dog loved it. That gave us the confidence to take the leap. From our first visit, Jessica was patient, kind, and answered every question we threw at her. She's passionate about animals, and it shows. She has the perfect mix of love and structure (helping dogs gain confidence) while also teaching them to respect their owners as pack leaders. Our one-year-old Brittany had a rough start in life, so we knew training would be extra important. With Jessica's guidance, she can now return when called, walk calmly on leash, hold a "place" command for long stretches, and thankfully...no longer jumps up on everyone. The changes have been incredible. The biggest thing we learned is that it's not just about the dog--it's about the owners putting in the consistency and following through with Jessica's instructions at home. Do that, and you'll see results. We're singing her praises to family and friends. Our dog absolutely adored her, and so did we. 10/10 recommend...life changing!

I was told they hadn't even started working on my two dogs but they where about to in a little bit because they where backed up . So I call at 5:22 to see how much longer being that they close at 5:30 and was told they where still backed up and hadn't started on my dogs yet and also they would be done in a while . Ok so I don't care what the excuse is ,I have no clue if the dogs are in cages with water or have been able to use the restroom outside their cages for at least 8 1/2 ho I've avoided places like PetSmart foe this same reason . They say oh your pets just fine we have water and we walk them when in fact they don't leave their cage for like 6 hours straight and don't have water bowls either . Even with water sitting in a cage waiting to be groomed from basically 9:00 am to past 5:30 is insane . At this point I'm within reason of being upset to a certain degree . I get they are behind maybe lack help or whatever but damn if you had too many cuts lined up for one day all you had to say was sorry we are booked and left it at that . I appreciate taking my dogs in but don't understand how a small poodle and Shih Tzu take 9 hours to get groomed . Even with doing one dog an hour which i doubt is the case you'd had to have had 15-18 dogs or more all before them if you had two groomers at the least . Even if you had only 12 dogs before them that's way to much do offer to cut in the time you guys open and close . If it's not then why is taking so long?
