Lucky Dog Resorts

Always great service, friendly and caring staff, and the dogs love it there. Big play area and lots of socializing by dogs and humans for the dogs. The place is also keep very clean. Services seem well priced, but after ordering a shampoo for my dog I wish they brushed him out a bit more.

I boarded my new puppy with Lucky Dog because from the information on their website they seemed to be comparable to a pet hotel I used in another state. I needed pet boarding on short notice and they had room. While the staff seems nice enough, we would t be back. When I picked up my puppy from a 3 day stay he reeked of urine. The toy that we had brought with him also reeked of urine. I spoke with management about why he smelled and why they didn’t bath him before we picked him up, and they said that it was their mistake and they should have called and asked us. She said it was due to their pools, but I find that odd that the urine smell would be soooo strong. We had to keep the windows down in the car as we drove home it was so bad. The manager offered free puppy daycare as compensation, but I don’t want to risk another stinky adventure.

Recommend a bath before picking up dog…

I’ve been taking my dog Sophie to Lucky Dog South for about a little over a month now. She is a very high-​energy dog, and I like to take her to daycare once or twice a week to get that extra bit of activity and socialization time in. I’ve also boarded her here for the weekend when I went out of town. This facility does have some downsides compared to other facilities I’ve been to, but my dog seems to come home happy and I’ve not had major issues with them, so I decided on 4 stars instead of 3.
Overall I have been happy with this facility. Sophie seems to have a good time and their rates are very reasonable. They also have packages you can buy that save you a little extra per visit and can be used on anything in the store. Finally, they have a military discount, which is awesome. Two nights and three days of «stay and play» came out to under 60 bucks, I believe. A full day of playing is about $ 21 and a half day is either $ 14 or $ 16 (I’m not sure which, I’ve been charged both).
The way they do their daycare is to rotate big and small dogs through the play area, which means that during the ‘down’ time, the dogs have time to rest instead of one rest session during lunch. I understand the intent behind this method, however, I do feel that my dog comes home less tired than when I send her to a day camp with a more ‘traditional’ schedule. I’ve stuck with Lucky Dog South because of the convenience of the location, but I do think I’d choose another daycare with the traditional lunch-​time break if I found one nearby. My dog just has too much energy to be resting that much during the day, even with all the running we do together.
Another downside to this place is that they don’t seem to clean your dog off before they give them back. I’ve been to places that will do a quick wipe-​down with a cleansing towel before returning your dog, which makes a big difference. It’s not a huge deal, but just a nice thing that Lucky Dog is missing.
Finally, Lucky Dog has no outdoor play areas, which would be great. I haven’t had a chance to tour the facility yet (I would like to) but they had a side door open once and I could glance into the play area. It is a pretty large space and looks like the dogs have plenty of room to move around. It’d still be nice for them to get some fresh-​air playtime though.
I like that Lucky Dog requires a temperament test for all dogs participating in the day care. It gives me a peace of mind that my dog won’t be attacked by an aggressive dog.
Overall, Lucky Dog Resort South isn’t a bad place to take your dog for boarding and play time. It’s well-​priced and conveniently located for those of us who live on the south side of town or who work on post. I can make a trip from home to Lucky Dog to work and the stop really only adds an extra 5 – 10 minutes of overall time, which is great.

We’ve used the cattery boarding and it was great! Our cat did not want to leave when we came to pick her up!

We have recently been taking our three labs to Lucky Dog South location and we love it. The staff is always friendly, professional, and they know all three of my dogs by name. I have tried more expensive boarding facilities but Lucky Dog South surpasses them in every way. I am thrilled that I found such a great place to take my pups and would recommend this location to everyone interested in having a happy dog while they are away.

I love Lucky Dog and so do my dogs! They take good care of them when we go out of town and their trainers are great. The dogs get lots of play time, which we can catch on-​line. Our Newfie loves Astrid the trainer. Debbie, the manager has a heart for the community and it shows!

Love, love, love this place. They know my dogs by name and always have room when I need to drop them off while I go on a spur-​of-​the-​moment mouton biking trip! And the dogs are exhausted for at least 2 days after I get home, so I feel like I get my money’s worth. They have a great military discount for boarding too. Great kennel, will keep using them and referring them to friends!

We boarded our dogs here and they had a blast. I would have no problem trusting them with my babies again!

Just passing through going to pikes Peak. Need daycare for the puppy. Staff was very professional building was very clean very knowledgeable about their profession. Fabulous play area separated by size of dogs and temperament. Love watching her on WebCam. Izzy had a great day and will sleep well tonight.

After looking at reviews of local dog kennels and «day cares» — it seemed like Lucky Dog was the best for the money.
It isn’t exactly what I want for my dog (no large fields to run and play), but he seemed to enjoy himself.
However, the last two times we sent him overnight, he came home with a cough (not kennel cough, but an infection). The first time we thought it was coincidence and it went away anyway, the second time it was obvious where it came from. We brought our dog to the vet and they said others had come from the same place (south location) with the same symptoms… now our dog is on antibiotics and has been coughing/​hacking for over a week.
We didn’t have a bad experience here, but if they don’t change their cleaning/​disinfecting/​sick dog policies, we won’t be bringing him back.
