"Horrible experience. HORRIBLE. The owner Kelly Boesel is very unprofessional. I was trying to board my cats there in an emergency but she refused my business screamed at me that i had shorted her brother on a job he did for me. I asked her who her brother was because I have never shorted anyone in my life on any job, even bad jobs, She told me Pest Control. I never had any pest control done at either of my houses. Then she said, "you look like a person who is going to dump there pets on me".!!!! OMG this woman was so rude and stupid. I offered to give her any amount of deposit that she wanted to feel safe about me dumping pets on her. Any amount and I also told her to call my Veterinarian Dr, Charlotte Burns who has known me for years and knows that I rescue kitties, I do not dump them. Everyone at Mendocino Animal Hospital knows me and would have given her a thumps up recommendation about me. But Kelly Bosses would not make the call. Instead she refused to board my 3 kitties leaving me stranded in a medical emergency that required me to get to SF as soon as I could. I ended up calling Charlotte Burns, my vet. Though they do not do commercial boarding at MAH, she took my kitties in, thank goodness. Love Doc Burns, Love her. Huge thumbs down on Blue Ribbon Pets and owner Kelly Boesel."

"They are great here! My dog detested getting her nails trimmed in any way. They were patient enough to take her and spend the time she needed to get her nails done. They also gave us home recommendations to make the visits easier for her. She's made a lot of progress in the few visits we've had. So thankful for the team at blue ribbon!!"

"When I worked here as a kennel attendant in 2009 and owners didn't provide food I was instructed to feed them SIGNIFICANTLY less than they should have eaten and was told "all these dogs are fatties and could stand to lose a few pounds anyway". If they spilled their water more than a few times I was told not to give them water and that they could drink when they were outside (three times a day, to potty). I was also reprimanded for spending any time with them or giving them attention/affection while moving them from the kennel to the yard and was eventually fired for all of these disagreements, as well as refusing to medicate with acepromazine that wasn't prescribed to the dogs I was told to give it to BECAUSE THEY WERE BARKING *excessively*. Several other kennel attendants were fired during my time there for similar issues. I will NEVER board my animals, anywhere because of my experience working at this facility."

"I’m not sure if they have a new groomer but my one dog looks, and smells, awful! I’m pretty sure they did not even give him a bath. His face is dirty and he smells like baby wipes. His hair on his face is crooked. I asked them to shave my other dogs bottom, and they did not. In addition, it cost $240 for both dogs before tip. Both dogs are under 20 lbs and they were last at this groomer 3 months ago. Last time I was very happy with the outcome. I’m not sure what happened this time, but it is awful. I’m very disappointed because I had been so happy with them in the past. I didn’t expect this. The picture below is 15 minutes after leaving the groomer. They also did not trim his toenails."

"Blue Ribbon Pets is exactly what your dog needs. It is a daycare and overnight kennel. They are kind and personable. I have kept my small dog overnight many times. The staff is knowledgeable and your pet is safe. They offer other services such as nail trimming and baths. Truly a great place."
