Blendon Kennels Westerville, Ohio

I left my 1-year-old Golden Doodle for a simple grooming. When I picked her up, she had been SHAVED - ALL of her hair removed. When I complained, I was told I ha agreed to this when I dropped her off. I've asked the business to call me, and they have ignored my requests. This is an awful place.

BEWARE!!!! This place is awful and their website is deceiving. There is a reason they have availability!! They turn off the AC to where the dogs are kept…. My dogs were dehydrated & could not stop drinking water when we got home. The staff was awful - they lost 3 of my expensive leashes, let one of my dogs escape, and the explanation was “we made no promises and there is a sign we aren’t responsible for your personal stuff.” Do not go here. Do not trusted these terribly unprofessional people. If you care about your dogs, stay away from Blendon Kennels!

My husky loves the place. I've been taking her there for years.

Blendon Kennels is an awesome place to get your dog groomed or to board your dog overnight, for a weekend, or a longer stay. Gracious, caring, professionals do an excellent job with your companion!

Friendly and professional! Great neighborhood kennel if you live in this area. $14 a day boarding for small dogs.

Love them! Prices are good and they do a great job taking care of our 3 dogs. I have even recommended them to other family members.

Being a new pet parent, I was already feeling skeptical about leaving my dog with strangers for a day. They were super friendly over the phone. When I pulled in, I couldn’t believe how the place looked, make me feel super uneasy. It was very poorly maintained and, to be frank, looked like trash. When the person came out to get my dog, she stated I was missing a vaccination for my dog, which I double checked when I got home and one of the papers clearly stated he had been given that vaccine. She also made me feel like I was an inconvenience because I didn’t call when I got there. Her overall demeanor made me completely uncomfortable so I left. This is not a testament to their work, as I decided against leaving my dog there for his appointment.

Very professional and caring groomer!

I housed my dog here. I left them with a large bag of dog food and a leash. When I picked my dog up the entire bag was gone. I don't know if they gave it all to my dog or fed other dogs with it but there should have been left overs. Second, I was told that they lost the leash. The next day the dog threw up and the parts of the leash were in the throw up. I couldn't believe they left the leash in the kennel with the dog. For a place that takes care of dogs they know nothing on how to care for them. Terrible, I am lucky the dog threw the leash up and didn't die.

I dropped my dog off here for boarding while I was out of town. She was there for 13 days. I took her to the vet the day before I dropped her off, she weighed 68lbs, I took her to the vet again the day after I picked her up for a booster, she weighed 64.7 lbs. The vet was very concerned about the drastic weight loss in such a short period. Their communication skills are not great. I called in advance to schedule to board her, then called back a few days later to change the dates, but when I dropped her off they had no idea of the changes. Then they called me 5 days before I had scheduled to pick her up asking when I was picking her up. When I went to pick her up, I waited in my car and called to let them know I was there because I wasn't told otherwise and that's what I did when I dropped her off. A person came out and stood by the door. I made eye contact with the person (she was wearing a mask) and she raised her eyebrows and nothing more, so I just sat there waiting. A few minutes later, she goes back inside and calls me to tell me that I need to come out of my car. I'm not sure why she couldn't have just indicated that to me by waving me over while she was standing there. They only take cash and check, but didn't mention that until I was already there to pick her up. When I said it would have been nice to know ahead of time, she said she told me over the phone, but that is definitely something I would have remembered as it's crucial information. Once they finally brought my dog out, she was limping slightly on one paw and I asked her (the dog lol) what she did to her paw and the person responded she didn't do anything. I'm giving them a 3, despite the issues I had, because they are convenient, the prices are great, and they worked with me on pricing when I had car trouble and couldn't pick her up the day I was originally supposed to, but I'm not sure I'll use them again.

It's always reassuring to leave our pets with people that love pets. Love this place!

Very helpful.Bear loves it when he stays

Owner was very rude & dismissive on the phone. Was ready to kennel my dog here but based on this interaction I decided to move on to the next place. Do not recommend!

They always close to keep Munchie s nail cut

The staff is kind & informative.

Just Called For details on my puppy who is 10 months old Set up time date to bring him in Got call back ten minutes later saying eventuall My Dog will be to big provide services Pooh is 10 months old 50 pounds as of right now We Are not talking about a year From Now Dont think I want them providing care And have already assumed Something they have no idea about But Thank You For Not Giving Him Services!

I would advise you to look elsewhere. I dropped my dog off over the weekend for three nights and returned to find her tail was leaking blood and had a scar on her noise. When I got her out of the crate she was trembling in fear. My dogs very use to being crated as she’s in a crate everyday while I’m at work. I immediately to her to the only vet that was open in the area around 5pm to deal with a $120+ bill.

Took good care of our 2 little dogs! Reasonable cost.

Beware of Jennifer. She apparently cannot take criticism nor follow instructions. When I requested my pet to be cut a little shorter on her sides, my pet came back practically shaved and her face was cut uneven. She looks horrible! I did not want her cut that short and I specificly told her not to do that and she did it anyway. We wont be going back!

If you love your dog don’t go here. I took my puppy here two times The first time they did a great job second time they butchered him. Cuts everywhere on his skin. It has been a year and his hair is just coming back. We have had him groomed at another place several times and they have done a fantastic job. Although you can still see his skin on many places where they butcher him. I’m still hoping his hair grows in completely some day.

Always took my dog there to get her nails trimmed. They are very nice people.

Lynn is an excellent groomer. They are very flexible here in terms of appointments. They also take into consideration my pet's age and health issues to make sure he isn't in distress while being groomed. Highly recommend!

My dog stayed at Blendon Woods for 11 days. Went to pick him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. This is the second time that my dog has stayed at Blendon. Prices are affordable, $14 a day for small dogs. Next time we go out of town Rocky will be coming back to Blendon.

Its home away from home for my pups!

They did a fantastic job with our senior rescue dog. He looks amazing.

The service is Bad the people are rude Groomers Leave all the time so you never know if your Dog will be done or by whom !! They Dont ask for shot records so if you take them there especially To board you put your pets health at Risk !!!

Great little neighborhood business! They took great care of our "drunken frat boy" dog, Bronx aka Moose his whole life and they've done a great job with our new pooch, Kona.

My dog bentley has been going here for years , they always do a great job !

Amanda is awesone this place is awesome been going for 13 plus years 3 doggies

If you love your dog, do not take them here. First of all its hard to make appointments, you have to wait a while and they keep track of everything on note cards. Also, they will just have groomers not show up and try to cancel your long awaited, much needed appointment. Lastly and most importantly they will hurt you dog. My dog has 3 large cuts and a bad infection on her paw. All of which happened after her grooming session. I tried to save money but now will pay a $100 vet bill. DO NOT GO HERE.
