DAK's Dog Ranch 21351 Little Tom Road, Athens, AL 35614

"Our 2 large breed dogs are both 7 years old and have never been "boarded" before. We ended up having to board this vacation. This is not "boarding". This is vacation for your furry creatures. I was actually excited for them. They ran and played and I'm sure slept like babes. We had ice and snow while we were gone. They made sure our pups were warm and cozy and made sure they had enough food. They even were accommodating for us picking up a day later than planned bc of road conditions. The biggest thing for 5 star rating is that my female dog has severe anxiety. Sabrina took the time to learn her history, triggers, etc. She knows what dogs need and could pin point behavior changes before I could even get the scenarios out of my mouth. They medicated her when needed per our veterinarian medication orders (trazodone) and their team was able to win over my girls timid heart by the end of their stay. Sabrina communicated with any changes and to just let us know they were doing well. She even shared pics which was reassuring! We wish we found them sooner!! Wonderful honest straight forward folks!!"

"Sabrina was amazing and took such good care of my pup! She sent a picture and let me know how my pup was doing while she stayed. All of the pups get so much outside time and there is so much room to play and run around. Sabrina showed me around the ranch and all of the different areas for pups to stay and play. The apartment is pretty awesome if you have a dog(s) who prefers a more “homey” type of stay. We will definitely be back for boarding and most likely for daycare and socializing. I would highly recommend you check it out!"

"We’ve never boarded our dog and this was an amazing first experience! We were welcomed to come check out the ranch a couple days before and got to know the owner/staff (all great people) and ask about all my concerns to which I left feeling confident our pup would be in good hands. Stetson stayed the following weekend and we loved getting pictures of all the fun he was having. He definitely had a blast and will be back next time we need to board him."

"I frequently board my two Aussies at DAK’s dog ranch and I cannot sing its praises enough! This place truly deserves a 5-star rating. From the moment my wife and I first came by to check it out, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The staff at the dog ranch clearly have a genuine love and passion for dogs, which instantly put me at ease knowing my pups would be well taken care of. They even took the time to ask specific questions about my dog's individual needs and preferences. The facilities at the dog ranch are outstanding. The spacious and meticulously clean kennels provides a comfortable and secure environment for the dogs. But what impresses me most is the large, beautifully maintained outdoor play area where the dogs can run and socialize. It is truly a doggy paradise! Throughout my dogs stay, the staff go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and well-being. And by the time I come to pick them up, It is plenty evident that our dogs were not only well cared for but also had a blast during their time at the ranch. The attention to detail and personalized care at DAK’s dog ranch really sets it apart from any other boarding facility. Overall, I am beyond satisfied with my experience at the dog ranch. They exceed my expectations in every possible way, providing my dog with a fun-filled and stress-free environment. I highly recommend DAK’s dog ranch to any dog owner looking for a top-notch boarding facility that truly treats their furry guests like family. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!"
