Shady Pines Kennels Savannah, Georgia

If your fur baby gets hurt while staying for daycare, you're completely responsible for the vet bill even though you had nothing to do with your babies injury! Neglecting safety is not a priority here☹️

They took of my lil guy kept me updated with photos of him playing with others.

Our dogs and cat were here for 4 nights. We sent wet food, dry food and bread as well as toys. The toys weren’t touched , not sure they ever had them and the left over food and bread wasn’t given back. One of the dogs has a cut on his head and nothing was said about it, so we have no clue where it came from. Apparently they were so dirty they had to be washed off, not sure why. When we got home they RAN to their water bowl and drank until it was empty then devoured food which for one of them isn’t normal. Otherwise they are fine but due to how they acted and the mysterious cut they won’t be going back. Too bad because the price is great. Our cat has lost weight and wasn’t given joint supplements. She was sent with more than enough food and none of it was sent back. Since being home she’s acting strange. Again. Won’t be coming back.

Our Great Dane is very timid and they take really good care of him while we are away, we have had bad experiences with other kennels but we have been using this one for about a year now and love it. We know that our dog loses weight when in stressful environments even though he eats all his food so we make sure to bring some extra and they are very understanding of the at and want to make sure he is being care for properly.

Leave my dogs here all the time never had an issue been going for 20 years

They were able to keep my cat for an extended period of time on short notice. Very affordable and nice. Would definitely recommend.

Very caring and understanding staff and service is excellent!

I was super excited to try this place for my 2 dogs to get groomed and boarded at. The grooming was decent and very reasonable priced. However, everything to do with boarding was a complete disaster. I was misled about prices and was charged twice as much as I was told to expect. I also brought enough food for my dogs that would normally last about 3 weeks because I did not want running out of food to even be a possibility. Somehow they had no food left when I returned and this is very frustrating when I know they had more than enough. I took 1 dog to the vet the week before they were boarded and yet again 2 days after I picked them up from being boarded. In the week between vet visits, she lost almost 5lbs. I don’t know how she lost weight if she was supposedly fed 3 weeks worth of food. Both of my dogs also came home pretty sick with kennel cough and one is having to stay at the vet hospital overnight to be treated. While Bill is very nice and they did accommodate one of my dogs needing to be on a harness instead of a slip lead, it is very frustrating and it’s not ok. The vet bills on top of being misled about pricing in the first place is a lot to have to figure out and manage.

PLEASE DO NOT BOARD HERE.... Boarded my dog here for 7 days... Got her back with puncture wounds, scabs, swollen cheeks, weight loss, raw paws and hind legs. Came home shaking and timid to human touch.. Ridiculous

Hoping to have a promising future with this company. They are down to eat. And very genuine people..

Ridiculous! When I picked up my friends dog, poor thing was shaking and not acting like her normal self! It was handled very unprofessionally when I brought up my concerns. I was basically told to get over it.

Mr. Bill is Amazing. He's gentle and kind with the animals. He's very accommodating as well. I've been a customer for over 15 years.

This is a terrible place to board your animal. They are not professional at all. All they see is $$$$$ and over booked themselves to many dogs for the staff to able to handle. I left my pup there for 4 days/3 nights, when I picked him up he was shaking. He also has a mysterious lump/scab on his rear end. They fed proceeded to him the wrong food his whole stay there. He has has an upset stomach for days now. I will NEVER be returning here.

Excellent!!!! The staff is so kind and experienced, I will return frequently ???????? Thanks so much!!!

I stopped by to get more information about this business and everything they offer. I was taken on a small tour of the grounds and I was pleasantly impressed by how clean their facilities are and just how much they offer. My dogs and cats will soon be spending time there so Mommy and Daddy can travel more!

I trust my fur baby to be taken care of and loved while I'm gone. They offer bath services

Dogs always get nice and clean when they visit Shady Pines. I've got 2 long haired Shepherds and they always look and smell great thanks to the staff here.

They take great care of our dog plus clipping his nails for us because he is such a big baby when we try to do it. We are always nervous taking our pet to a new place as he is an extended member of our family. Shady Pines has always taken great care of him and this is the 8th time we have used them. If you want a place that will take great care of your pet I highly encourage you check them out.

I won't go anywhere else to board my dog! They're very good with her and have a fair amount of space for the dogs to play in.

Took our high anxiety dog here for a weekend stay. They were very understanding of his needs. He was happy and freshly bathed when we picked him up. Will definitely be using them in the future.

This place is awesome. I’ve grown to appreciate more that I move across the state. Wish I have a Shady Pines here.

My dogs love Shady Pines!!! They ask to go there when we go out of town or if they need a day of beauty!!!

My boyfriend and I adopted a dog from here two years ago. When we picked him up he was extremely dirty, malnourished and hyper from not being able to go outside. He hadn’t been outside in over two weeks and hadn’t been bathed in over a month. (told to us directly by the worker) He was using the bathroom in the same place he had to eat and sleep. We were told we couldn’t have his papers or records until we got him neutered and brought back proof of it. They feed the animals very cheap food that is horrible on their stomachs. We took him to Bentley’s Pet Stuff (awesome place) and gave him a good wash and brought him home. He has been the best companion and such a sweetie. However, two years later i’m still paying $500 almost every time he has to go to the vet for the ear and stomach issues they let slip by and not do anything about. Wouldn’t recommend. All of those fur babies there need to be rescued and this place needs to be shut down.

For once my pups were excited to see me but also wanted to go back and play! I'm so happy I found a place I can trust with my over hyper king shepherd and Dutch shepherd. And if you use them you should try out the doggy daycare that's next to them I loved getting pics of them playing all day!

We’ve taken our dog baby to this kennel multiple times, the first couple time she came back completely fine, the last couple times she was there she came back home extremely thirsty acting, she also caught a really bad case of kennel cough from one of the dogs there. It makes me not wanna take her back because it’s obviously not clean and they don’t make sure the others dogs aren’t sick. I would be careful taking your dog here.

Bill makes sure your pet is well taken care of..

I drive 2 hrs from Atlanta to bring my dog here when I travel to east coast! My sister told me about them and I love this place and my dog does too! They are nice and I can tell they enjoy what they do!

I don’t even know where to begin. Shady Pines Kennel is the reason I have my dog safely home. Our friends run a rescue that flies dogs from an overwhelmed shelter in Puerto Rico that would otherwise have to euthanize dogs and bring them to the mainland US for adoption. For months, they were working hard to connect me with my sweet girl Dory and continual obstacles held her up from getting on flights or the flights she was due to get on got cancelled. Finally a few weeks ago I got the news she had landed two days early in Miami and was getting on a transport to head to NY. I live in NC and was supposed to meet them en route on 95 but could not get there because I had no work coverage with the short notice. A few hours of internet searches for kennels close to 95 within reasonable driving distance and many stressful phone calls finally brought me to Shady Pines. Jackie, Dell and Bill listened to my story and incredibly jumped on board to help facilitate her late arrival where others had said no. Without these wonderful people I would have been on a plane and in a rental car back again to get her from her end point in NY and she would have had to travel all the way up 95 from Miami and back to NC again. Dell very generously met her after hours and kept me in the loop as she was dropped off and settled in for the night. Jackie met her bright and early to be sure she was happy and healthy and even sent me text updates and some beautiful portraits of her taken by the lake. Bill met me on her arrival and made sure she had a wonderful bath to wash all the travel off and get her ready to come home. Their kindness through Dory’s gotcha days (because the getting her took many days!) had me ugly crying with gratitude after I left them and had her on my lap headed home. They took such good care of her and were patient and understanding while dealing with me in all my anxiety from the continual shift in plans surrounding her travel. Dory (Now Saffy)and I cannot thank everyone at Shady Pines enough and will forever be grateful they welcomed her and took care of her midway through her long long journey to her forever home. Thank you all so much! Saffy and I will always deeply appreciate it.

If you're looking for a clean, happy place to take your pet, Shady Pines Kennels is it. Personal treats every pet special. I highly recommend Shady Pines Kennels. ????

Jackie loves animals and is very trustworthy. She's been keeping my dog for 6 years and he loves her!
