Our 11-year-old Havanese, Lulu, has been a weekly visitor to the Dog Retreat Physical Rehabilitation Center since January of 2024. We were referred by a veterinary orthopedic surgeon who felt that PT was worth trying before we resorted to surgery. We are so grateful that he was not only right, but that Amy, Kate and their crew gave Lulu her life back.

We are so grateful that he was not only right, but that Amy, Kate and their crew gave Lulu her life back. While she might not be quite able to keep up with her 4-year-old “sister,” Lolli, she can now certainly chase and tumble around with her like a puppy. We continue our weekly appointments both to maintain all the progress she’s made and because Lulu really loves them. Honestly, I can not recommend the Center highly enough.

Everyone on the rehab team is so kind and so caring, our old girl doesn’t like many people but she absolutely LOVES them! She knows they’re there to help and really looks forward to her sessions. They’ve been a crucial part in improving her mobility and building strength to maintain a good quality of life! We’re grateful for the incredibly detailed and well tailored care she’s received over the last few years and are looking forward to many more together!!

We have used the Dog Retreat & Spa for several years, both for day care and for grooming. Ed and Jalene and their staff are wonderful with our three dogs and have been very helpful to us as well

We have used the Dog Retreat & Spa for several years, both for day care and for grooming. Ed and Jalene and their staff are wonderful with our three dogs and have been very helpful to us as well, with training tips, equipment loans, etc. We live a mile away, but they are conveniently located on 128 for all you commuters. You won’t regret taking your dogs to this fabulous place. Our dogs are all happy AND stylish.

So glad I found this place. I have a Samoyed that was in need of some serious grooming. I took him to two other places and both could not handle him which I understood since he is not a fan of the brush but I was not ready to allow him to be shaven quite yet.

So glad I found this place. I have a Samoyed that was in need of some serious grooming. I took him to two other places and both could not handle him which I understood since he is not a fan of the brush but I was not ready to allow him to be shaven quite yet. After searching around some more I found The Dog Retreat and Spa and decided to request an appointment online. I provided a quick description of our situation on their appointment request form (which probably came across as a desperate cry for help) and Jalene called me back immediately to tell me that they were more than willing to help and set me up with an appointment right away. Once there I was immediately impressed by the size of the facility, the cleanliness, and the professionalism of all the staff. I dropped my dog off with Jennifer who gave me a clear and straight forward description of everything she was going to do and informed me that I would get a text half hour before he was ready. Based on my last two experiences with groomers I was expecting that text to come an hour later along with a request to bring him back another time to finish. However that text would not come till way later. Jennifer was able to completely transform him! Jennifer succeeded where other had failed and seemed to have had no problems with getting him through his grooming. She even notified me of some concerning rashes on his stomach that are from a skin infection he developed and even though he was already being treated for it by our vet it is good to know they keep an eye out and inform people about stuff like this. I was amazed and could not be more impressed with how good she is at what she does and how professional this place is. My dog will be coming back every month and I would highly recommend this place to everybody.

I recently took my little Rocky to a local groomer, and unfortunately, it was the worst grooming experience I’ve ever had. I was so upset that I immediately went online to look for help. That’s when Alyss reached out and mentioned that Kathy had an opening early the next morning and could work with Rocky to fix the mess. ( 1st pic)

Taking that chance with Kathy turned out to be the *best* decision I could’ve made. She did an amazing job correcting what the previous groomer had done. Rocky came out looking great, and Alyss even mentioned he was a joy to work with. (2nd pic)
I highly recommend any for any grooming services you need. They’re kind, professional, and truly care about your pet’s well-being!

Jalene and Ed together are a dynamic duo. They are hardworking, reliable and never miss a detail. They are my emergency contact because I know they can handle any situation that is thrown their way.

As Luther’s Mom, I am not sure what we would have done without you. If you recall, we were having an impossible time finding care for a dog of Luther’s proportions.
