Lucky Pawz Iowa City LLC

After losing my older dog, I started bringing my 10 month old puppy to Lucky Pawz twice a week so that she could have more interaction with other dogs. It makes my life easier on busy days and she loves it so much. When we turn the corner to LP she starts to freak out, and when we get out of the car she pulls me all the way to the door because she is so excited. (And she is trained to walk on a loose leash, so if she pulls you know its a big deal!) I have had nothing but wonderful expereriences with the Lucky Pawz team. They take care of my girl so so well! She always comes home happy and worn out, which is the most I could ask for. I was hesitant to spend the money on doggy daycare, but after attending for month I can say that it is without a doubt worth it!

Well worth the price and close to home. They are a little pricey, but it's worth it when you buy a 20 day pass like we do. We toured 2 other places and although they were cheaper, they are further away from home and they don't let the dogs play all day. The dogs were only out a few hours a day where as here at Lucky Pawz they get to play and roam around all day. Staff is very friendly and always happy to see you and your dog when they are dropped off. I love having the daily report card too with pictures of your dog having fun. I don't care that they are more expensive that other places, our dog loves coming here and getting to play all day. He jumps out of the car and runs to the door, all excited for a fun day of playing. We love it too when we have busy days and no time for a walk. I would highly recommend Lucky Pawz to anyone especially if you have an active dog. It's well worth it!

Friendly and helpful staff, who obviously love dogs. Our dog loves her afternoons here. We had to coax her in with treats at first but now she leads us in! I like that they often post photos of dogs in daycare & boarding. 1/1/24 - just brought her home from her longest boarding stay. She's happy to be home and I think she enjoyed her stay

I have been lead to review our Lucky Pawz experience not out of disdain, but out of concern for any new clients. After 2 months, management led me to believe my dog was aggressive, that he would try to "bite" staff who attempted to bring him inside. Management then corrected themselves, saying that he didn't actually "try to bite." Then double-backed moments later with he was trying to "bite." Just that morning, my dog was hesitant to enter the facility, so my radar was already on high-alert. If my dog truly was aggressive with staff, I wanted a reliable answer so the issue could be addressed with a trainer. Luckily, we switched day cares. I was upfront with the new business about Lucky Pawz's allegations. His first day, they repeatedly grabbed his collar to see if he was, in fact, aggressive. He was not. Which leads me to believe that Lucky Pawz staff is neither versed in canine language, nor capable of implementing safe, respectful commands. Our new day care has been a dream. This review is a mere warning for new clients who may be disheartened by misleading comments about their dogs. I would rather kennel my dogs throughout the work day then expose them to Lucky Pawz and their staff.
