Are you looking for a welcoming place for your pup? Dogtopia would be a good option for you!…read more We had our little (she's actually HUGE) baby stay at Dogtopia for 8 days while we were on vacation. Prior to any daycare or overnight stays, the staff does require a meet & greet. This costs $30 I believe and is used as a reference for your dog's friendliness, social skills, and overall behavior. They use this assessment to see which room to place them in. Each room has a camera set up for you to keep a close eye on your pup. I love this as you can get a true idea of if they like Dogtopia and also for your own peace of mind. The staff has always been friendly and our girl is always so happy to see them. The location is also perfect for us as we live near the mall. However, the location also poses a challenge as there is very little outdoor area for dogs to play and do their business. I say this because our girl did #2 inside, which she never does. My main issue with Dogtopia is the price. It seems to be $10 - $20 (or more) above other boarding places in Lexington. It poses questions as other boarding facilities offer more space and more amenities. I also think there should be a tad more transparency on what your pup goes through during overnight stays. What time are they put in their kennels, when are they let out, etc.

Writing this review while a bit upset. We are from S. Carolina and decided to go to Lexington to…read moreattend Keeneland Racetrack. We own a 14.5 lb. Shih-Tzu, and we had to do something with her while we went to the track. I found Dogtopia on the internet and it sounded ideal for keeping her for the day. I set a time for a meet and greet which was scheduled the day of boarding. We arrived and filled out paperwork. We noticed a large room with maybe 30 dogs of all different breeds and sizes. We were told this was not normal as they usually separate large and small dogs. Anyway, they asked us to sit for a few minutes while they judged how our dog would fit in. We were informed our dog failed their test and they would not be able to keep her. We were told our dog actually bit (nipped) the employee and did not interact well with the other dogs. Our Shih-Tzu does suffer from anxiety, and she does get aggressive when frightened. In that environment, there is no doubt she would be scared. I don't doubt anything the employee said but we told him she was crate trained and I noticed two small dogs in crates. It blows my mind while they didn't keep her in the crate for the 6-7 hours they kept her. Needless to say, we did not get to Keeneland and headed back to South Carolina a day early. We did not get a chance to comment on the care at Dogtopia. Please be aware if you decide to use their services, there is a Pass/Fail test as part of the meet and greet. In addition, we used the services of a doggie daycare in Myrtle Beach, SC when our dog was several months old. What we observed at Dogtopia did not measure up to the standards of the Myrtle Beach facility.

Felt like we had been friends 20 years. Went down the seasonal isle and talked with a guy named Vince. Really cool guy. Once again felt like we had been friends for 20 years. This is also my go to place for dog food. There were allot of people checking out on this day, so I opted for the self check out. But it's not the cashiers fault. One guy was buying 40 of the 1 pound camping propane tanks. And another before them had a big order to check out. I recommend this store. They are approachable, knowledgeable, and people friendly.

For the most part, I love Feeders…read more It's in a convenient location and has a great selection of dog and cat food, treats, toys, etc.--including high-end brands I'd been searching for. The staff is always super friendly and helpful; everyone we've interacted with has been great. I've never had an issue finding what I need, and everything is consistently in stock. If that were the whole story, this place would easily get five stars. The three-star rating is due to the fish. We've bought fish from here multiple times, and unfortunately we've had ongoing issues--fish getting sick (ick) or dying shortly after bringing them home, even plecos (which are supposed to be hardy). This may be different now, but because of our experiences we've decided to avoid buying fish from here.

Seems to be a common theme.. I picked my senior dog up after only two nights there and she was…read morefilthier and smellier than she's ever been in her life. It smells and looks like she's been laying in her own urine. I board her very regularly but the normal one was full, she has NEVER came home smelling or looking like this even after a week of kenneling. The smell was so strong I couldnt stand having my windows up or down, it just blew it around. I called and they did offer me a refund but I'm terrified she's going to follow suit of the other reviews and be sick. They offered to give her a bath if I brought her back which I kindly declined. I would not trust them with her again. She attempted to blame the smell on the fact it had rained but this isn't wet dog smell, it's pure urine. And on another note - they do not leash dogs when you drop them off or pick them up. It seemed odd when I dropped her off that I had to insist the girl leave a leash on because she wouldn't follow her without it. Then when I picked her up, a giant huskie was let out into the lobby completely unrestrained. This isn't safe and it's not appropriate. There could have been children, or other dogs, or anything that would make for a dangerous situation with an unknown and very large dog. I would NEVER recommend taking your pet here.

We will not be using Hickman Creek again. We took our Goldendoodle, Riley, for a week during our…read morespring break trip to Florida. She had not been feeling well prior to going, but our veterinarian said it was gastroenteritis and prescribed medication, telling us that the kennel could administer the meds and she would be fine. As another reviewer said, she was supposed to have been given a bath on the day of pickup, and we were charged for the bath, but she smelled awful and was visibly dirty and greasy to the touch. We had to take her directly from the kennel to the pet store to give her a bath, with the kids complaining the whole way about how terrible she smelled. The hair on top of her head was so matted that it couldn't be brushed, and I had to trim it down to the skin. She has several other spots that we will have to let the groomer take care of once the hair on her head grows out enough to take her. My wife later called and was assured that she did, indeed, have a bath that morning. The medicine had instructions on the bottle and we verbally gave the employee the instructions when we dropped her off. She was to be given the medication until it was gone, which would have happened toward the end of the week. When we arrived, after they tried to give us the WRONG DOG, they gave us the medication bottle back and it still had pills left. After getting her home, it became clear that she was still not well. We took her back to our vet for an additional $250, where she was diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis and prescribed more of the same medication. After administering the medication properly, she is now back to her old self.

He's pretty wobbly but we've been so lucky to find wonderful groomers. Due to Covid restrictions, she met me just outside the front door at my appointment time. We talked for a few minutes while she checked out my little guy. Then she scooped him up and said ok, he'll be ready in two hours. She texted a little while later to confirm the price and the time to pick him up. When I got there, he looked gorgeous and smelled delicious!! He was a little tired from the experience but so alert. I can tell that he feels like a million bucks since his haircut. I absolutely love that the grooming is by appointment, he's there by himself and cared for from start to finish by the owner.
