Mutty Paws - Watkinsville, Georgia

We have utilized Mutty Paws for both day play and overnight camp. We trust the staff as well as the facility. I especially like that each animal goes through a very simple process to assess its behavior to see if it plays well with others. We appreciate keeping the dogs safe.
I was certain that our dogs were the staff favorites but I was mistaken. They treat all of the dogs as if they’re the favorite!

There is nowhere else I’d trust more than Mutty Paws to watch my dog!! The entire staff is amazing. Always inviting, loving, and excited to see my dog every day. I love that they have cameras that I can watch my dog on throughout the day, and the space itself is always extremely clean and safe for the dogs. Would give a million stars if I could

Maggie has been grooming my mom’s dog for several years and I can tell she loves her job. Gadget is always well groomed and he gets anxious before arriving at Muddy Paws but as soon as he is walking in the door he stops shaking. That in itself tells a lot

If your care about your dog’s well being think twice about boarding your pet at Muddy Paws in Watkinsville GA.

I boarded my 14 year old Welsh Terrier at Muddy Paws for 5 days. Today, the day I was supposed to pick her up, I received a text saying “Good Morning! We came in this morning to find that Bella had what looks like some pretty bloody diarrhea over night. She doesn't seem to be acting any differently but there's definitely a significant amount of blood. She did get get groome yesterday so that may have stressed her out some which could cause something like this. We have her on the schedule to be picked up today but wanted to go ahead and reach out considering how it looks. Let us know if you'd like us to do anything for her.”

I told Muddy Paws I couldn’t pick her up immediately but called the vet and made an appointment to have them check her out. The only appointment they had was 2:30, but since Muddy Paws told me she was acting normally I wasn't too concerned.

While I was waiting for them to bring Bella out, I asked how Bella behaved while she was there. The girl at the front desk said that Bella barked but otherwise was well behaved. The first thing I noticed was how badly groomed she was. Worst cut she has EVER had and not correct for the breed. Her coat felt dirty and she smelled dirty.

As I was driving home it was obvious that Bella was larthegic and moving strangely. I took her to the vet immediately and they were kind enough to check her over early. She had lost 4 pounds (18% of her total weight) and was extremely dehydrated. The vet gave her both IV and subcutaneous fluilds. He ran blood work and found no preexisting condition that would explain her symptoms. He asked that I pick her up before they closed so that we could watch her overnight and to bring her back tomorrow for more fluids because he did not want her to be alone. As I was leaving the vet, it was clear that Bella was still having trouble walking. Upon further inspection the vet determined that that the skin between Bella’s toes was damaged due to prolonged contact with the bloody feces which he cleaned out from between her paws. I took Bella back up to Muddy Paws to explain the vets findings. The girl at the front desk stated that she had not worked during the time that Bella was boarded (interesting that she knew Bella barked if she wasn't on the premises) and had not worked there in two months. She went to get the manager. I once again angerly explained Bella’s condition. During this conversation I stated that an adult male human could not lose 4 lbs of their body weight in a day much less a 22 lb dog. She clearly was not not eating or drinking and had been sick for longer than a day. I stated that someone should have notified me sooner. The manager agreed that I should have been notified, but also said he had not been working until today as well. Later he admitted that she had been sick yesterday but assured me they had immediately cleaned the cage. Which directly contradicted his statement that he had no knowledge of Bella being sick until today. I explained that they also needed to clean her feet. The manager said he had never heard that prolonged contact with feces could burn a dogs skin!

Bottom line - they knew my dog was sick, and waited to notify me until until then day I was supposed to pick Bella. They endangered senior my dog’s health and showed no ownership.

Mutty Paws grooming experience was great for me and my two pups. We already have appointments for our next visit!

I’ve been bringing my dogs here for several years, and my dogs love it! They’re always super tired when I pick them up too. Staff loves on my babies just like they do their own babies. I’ve also had my dogs board here, and I’m pretty sure my dogs didn’t notice I was gone. Highly recommend!

This is the first daycare where my dog comes home tired and HAPPY!!! Everyone there cares extremely about our pets and does everything they can to make it a safe and enjoyable place for them. They have great customer service and I wouldn’t want to take my dog anywhere else!

Very nice people and handled my scared Dalmatian very well. He’s a rescue and timid, by the end of the day, he was running and playing with all the other dogs and staff. Reasonable price for one night of boarding.
