What Dog Parents Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 132 reviews Posted on Google Nick CarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best dog camp my dogs love coming here. The staff are very professional.Posted on Google Daniel ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a place! My wife and I visited a dear friend's dog at Topanga Pet Resort this past weekend. When we encountered Ivy, a precious 2 year old Pitty, she seemed very relaxed and well fed. We found the boarding facility to truly feel like a resort. The surrounding trees and ample greenery make the place very serene. All the dogs that were being housed and those who were coming in for training seemed genuinely happy to be there. Additionally, we met a couple of the trainers during our visit there and they were extremely knowledgeable and compassionate towards their canine friends. If you need a place to take your furry friend, Topanga Pet Resort is the place!Posted on Google Tony VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Topanga Pet Resort was absolutely amazing. We were thoroughly impressed with how they handled everything from start to finish. The staff was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about our pet’s comfort and well-being. The facility was clean, organized, and gave us peace of mind the entire time. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our pet was being treated with love and attention. It’s hard to find a place you can fully trust with your fur baby, but this team truly exceeded expectations. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality pet care!Posted on Google David StupplerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my 2nd time using them. First time was for 6 weeks and it went so well I went back for a 3 week stay for my two dogs. They are great at training puppy's, taking care of my big dog, and most importantly training my wife on how to walk a dog ;)Posted on Google Joel FishmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We boarded our first dog for over 15 years when we were out of town. We're excited to begin boarding/ training there with our new rescue puppy.Posted on Google Kimberly MishTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did such a great job! My daughters dog had been so consistent since his training! Well worth the money!Posted on Google Cara DreherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place to take your pet! We met with them for a meet and greet since our dog is pretty nervous around new people and has never been left, but they did everything they could to make sure he was comfortable, didn’t push his boundaries and took their time thoroughly answering all of our questions! They do a great job of meeting every individual pup’s needs and have excellent trainers on the property at all times! I can definitely feel good about bringing my dog here for boarding ❤️ prices are also very reasonable and they give lots of outside timePosted on Google Леон МTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Topanga Pet Resort — absolute love???? I can say with full confidence: these people REALLY know what they’re doing. I’ve left my dog Chuck there several times, and every time he comes home happy, calm, and full of good energy — like he spent time with friends, not just in a boarding facility. They don’t just watch the dogs, they train them, guide them, and do it with heart. You can feel how much respect and care they give to every animal. We also use their grooming regularly, and Chuck always comes out looking like a handsome glossy boy — fresh, clean, and proud of himself. I fully trust them. This place is honestly the best thing I’ve found for my dog. Thank you for caring for Chuck as if he were your own. ❤️❤️❤️Posted on Google Hannah SomTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had our dog stay here for several week long stays and have had good experiences! They have a large outdoor area for the dogs to play.
