My dog bolt loves coming to this facility! After having issues with a previous daycare it was nice to know he could have some fun with other dogs and I wouldn’t have to worry about him being taken care of. They make sure each pet has had proper medical and vaccines before coming to join them for play. A wonderful place with nice friendly people. Bolt says thank you!

My best buddy Wrigley recently had a 10 day stay with them. When I picked him up he looked great and very happy. First time boarding him somewhere that he wasn’t mad at me afterwards. Can tell he had a great time with their staff and could tell from talking with them that they really care for him as if he was their own dog. Thanks to everyone there that made his stay so great.

Avondale Pet Resort and Avondale Vet is truly an amazing place!!!! I recommend it to anyone looking for a vet, for doggie daycare and grooming. I have been taking my dog here almost a year now and have never had an issue with anyone. Every employee is friendly and greets me with a smile each time I walk in. Anytime I have a question or need to come in with a checkup/emergency, they are always willing to answer my questions completely. The veterinarians are very caring and will even call you the next day to make sure your pet is doing okay! That to me is AMAZING service. I know that my dog is in wonderful hands when I leave her with them and after she gets home from daycare I know she had a blast during the day. Definitely check this place out, trust me its worth your time and money.

They took great care of our two dogs when we boarded them which is why the 3 stars. Otherwise, they nickel and dime you for everything. We weren't informed that our dogs need a flu vaccination (maybe a handful of boarding places require it) so when we dropped our dogs off, it had to be done by them- $30 per dog for that. Plus, $30 per dog for a fecal test. Both of these could have been done through our vet at a much cheaper cost if we had been informed that these needed to be done! Also, $4 per medication that needs to be administered to our dog per day. $26 for that. We were quoted at $160 and ended up having to pay $300 for 2.5 day stay!!! Absolutely absurd. Will not be boarding here again.

We have boarded our dog anytime we go out of town for the past two years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Their facility is clean (they gave me a tour) and they make sure the dogs are all up to date on their vaccinations before they can stay, which gives an owner peace of mind. They also have scheduled play time for the dogs for an extra small fee. Plus they give her a bath everytime at no charge! We will continue to take our dog to Avondale everytime we need a boarder.

They charge double what we typically pay for grooming and are unwilling to make accommodations for dogs with anxiety. My dog has terrible containment anxiety, needs to be medicated, and still will hyperventilate when kenneled and they couldn’t find a way to groom him without "extensive" kenneling (their words) and keeping him for 8+ hours. Kennel staff were rude and condescending. I would give zero stars if i could.

We have been taking our Lab Bernie to Avondale pet resort for around a year now and we have had nothing but great things to say about the staff and how well they treat Bernie! Sarah has worked with Bernie and continues to go above and beyond her job description to ensure Bernie is happy while we are away. We are so thankful for the care that is given and recommend Avondale to everyone. Thank You!- Kyle, Stacey and Bernie
