From start to finish, this has been a most positive experience for us. From the moment I called to discuss possibly enrolling my fur baby, Duke, Sean was very friendly, informative, and willing to take the time needed to explain how everything works. Once we actually made the appointment, there was some hesitation at dropping him with people he didn’t know but the pictures and report card showed us that he adapted quickly and was very loved. We will be making this a more regular part of Dukes week!

Thank you for a wonderful haircut for Addie!  She looks beautiful !  We were so impressed with your staff and the facility, thank you so much!

Cody is always excited to visit It’s a Dog’s Life.  The staff is always very friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy working with the animals. While on vacation I looked forward to seeing the daily report cards to see what fun Cody was having with the other dogs on site.

Very happy with the service from It’s A Dog’s Life…as always.

You guys have very caring staff and that are clearly animal lovers, I always feel extremely happy leaving TJ there and I know he enjoys it.

The Manager Sean and team were all so kind and took the time to explain everything about the daycare process. Luna loved her first day of daycare and I know she will be excited to go back!

My dog and I both love this place!!

As always, Dana (Pet Stylist) did a fantastic job grooming Laney, our Havanese. Staff is very friendly, professional and helpful.

I’m absolutely loving all the updates we’re now getting of Knuckles! Thank you so much for the great work and for loving him. Thank you for taking such good care of him in our absence. We appreciate you all!

Charlie gets excited whenever he goes to It’s A Dog’s Life.  He recently ruptured his ACL and is being treated for it.  Dana and the staff at IADL took special care of him while he was in for his grooming.  Charlie is a Wire Hair Fox Terrier and when his grooming was finished, he could compete with Asta in the Thin Man (google it).   Extremely well done!

The entire staff is beyond Amazing!!

Our first time boarding our pup and we had a great experience. We felt at ease knowing our furbaby was in good hands.

Best play date Jase has had in a long time!

Loves his new furry friends and appreciates having interaction with someone other than us humans at home that he’s been stuck with for the past year.😷

He was one tuckered out pup when he got home which to me constitutes a great day full of lots of fun.

Thanks to everybody there.🐾

01/18/2022:  I really appreciate you seeing her so fast.  She has had health problems and was in desperate need if having her nails done!  I wish she was healthy enough for day care because she always had a great time with you!

01/11/2022:  Love getting the report, pictures and video at the end of the day. The guy who checks in the dogs in the morning is great! I’m sorry I’ve forgotten his name. All the staff are amazing!

01/11/2022:  Your staff is always so friendly!!  We have used your facility for boarding, training and we finally used Dana for grooming.  We had an awful experience at another place for grooming.   Bella always gets SO excited when we pull into your parking lot.  Thanks again for another great service that you offer!

12/18/2021:  Staff was GREAT! They explained the process, answered all my questions, and gave me a great summary of Casey’s stay.  They were so patient and kind!  Casey had a little bit of a struggle but their understanding really put me at ease. We’re going to give it another try and see if she settles in.  I feel that they took the time to try and help her be comfortable in a large group setting.

12/15/2021:  We have been very pleased every time that Levi has been groomed at It’s a Dog’s Life

09/10/2021:  Cannot think of one thing you could do better! You guys are the BEST!!! We love our It’s A Dog’s Life Family!!

09/08/2021:  We really appreciate what good care you take of our doggies — King and Rocco!  Grooming can be really scary for dogs, but they always come home looking great and feeling happy

09/07/2021:  The team is so nice and I can always tell you truly care about my pup! Thank you – I speak for most millennial dog owners in that we’d pay for anything for our dogs. I think you could add some extra services for overnight trips

09/07/2021:  Ever since starting to bring TJ to It’s a Dog’s Life, we have been very happy with everything.  The staff are always friendly and courteous and we always feel like you have TJ’s health and well being in the forefront.  Keep up the good work

08/17/2021:  It was clean and everyone was friendly and helpful

08/17/2021:  This was Huck’s first experience at daycare as well as in a large group of dogs and I appreciate how the staff was able to figure out where he would be the most comfortable. I also loved being able to check in on him while he was there and see him enjoying himself. All of the staff was Greta and very friendly.

08/15/2021:  Your staff are great!  So kind and helpful and so enthusiastic!  😀

08/15/2021:  I took our dog for grooming for the first time and I was so impressed for their service. I strongly recommend to my friends

08/07/2021:  A wonderful experience all around for both my dog and me. My pup happy and tired, which is perfect

08/05/2021:  Charlie (our WHFT) loves to go to It’s A Dog’s Life — we board him there, he goes to daycare to play there, we take him there to be groomed.  As soon has we pass the turn off to go to the Vet’s, he seems to know he is going to the Spa and the excitement builds.  The staff greets him by name and they seem to enjoy him being there.   Charlie is exhausted after a day a the Spa — he has had too much fun

08/03/2021:  Shawn and the staff took great care of Oliver!!  They even gave him 2 baths to make sure he smelled his best after Oliver rolled in another dog’s poop.  They certainly went the extra distance

07/31/2021:  I really appreciate that the staff wanted to work with my excitable Boxer puppy (TJ) even though he was annoying some of the other dogs at day care.  This really shows that the staff care.  Staff were very friendly and polite

07/27/2021:  We appreciated everyone’s friendly and welcoming attitude! Shadow is still pooped after his fun day of play. We can’t wait to bring him back soon

07/23/2021:  We were so very impressed with our entire experience at It’s a Dog’s Life!  The staff were so friendly, the flow of guest arriving, and the way our little guy was welcomed and loved up was wonderful experience for him.  The facility was very clean and well run

07/19/2021:  It would be great if the staff could  play with the dogs. A game for all of them

07/12/2021:  Everyone was so friendly and our dog had a blast

07/07/2021:  We were so impressed with the customer service and sincere kindness to our family and Benji. We can’t wait to come back!

07/01/2021:  The staff at It’s a Dog’s Life are so friendly. I feel confident leaving my dog all day while I am at work and knowing he is in the best of hands

06/30/2021:  Grooming – Our groomer always does such a wonderful job cutting Lexi’s hair. She is very friendly and attentive to our preferences for grooming. She does such an outstanding job with Lexi that we refuse to take our dog anywhere else for a hair cut. Lexi can be a bit timid at first, but everyone on staff does such a great job with the dogs under their care that she always leaves super happy and looking great.

06/30/2021:  Staff answered all of my questions and were very kind. My 4.5 month old Goldendoodle, Nash seemed to have a great time. Already scheduled another day of daycare for him

06/29/2021:  My dog had a great time. As soon as we walked in the door they knew who he was. Staff is always very friendly and answer any questions I have. You can tell they love the animals. My dog didn’t even say bye when we dropped him off, he was ready to go play.

06/28/2021:  We are very satisfied with our services at it’s a dog life. We have used them numerous times when we need to board our dog, Lily. She always comes back happy and that’s a piece of mind for us when we are away

06/28/2021:  We have been very happy with our experience so far. We have boarded our dog twice and done day care once. Great experience! He comes home happy and tired.

06/27/2021:  The girls are always in a great mood and well taken care of.

06/24/2021:  They all are amazing with these animals

06/24/2021:  Very friendly and pleasant staff.

My dog was tired and happy after staying the day at your facility. We will be back soon

06/11/2021:  Sean and all the Staff is Amazing !!

06/11/2021:  I love the staff and how you all treat Leo. So happy to have found you guys !  Longer hours on Saturday 😅 that’s my busiest work day. But I understand why y’all have the hours you do

06/11/2021:  The staff was really friendly and my dog had a blast. Thank you

05/31/2021:  Moxie has already learned so much about playing and becoming more comfortable around other dogs since spending time with her It’s a Dog’s Life family!  We appreciate you all so very much for everything you do and provide for our girl.

05/29/2021:  The best grooming and attention towards our little Nikki. Dana is sweet and super conscientious and took care of every little detail. I recommend “It’s A Dogs Life” for grooming and pet vacations

05/29/2021:  Because Pixie had been aggressive to other dogs in the past (while they were leashed), I was VERY reluctant to take her to your facility where she would freely interact with other dogs. She has been a CHAMP with your Team and your Resort!

I have even considered taking Pixie to a dog park now – because she seems fine off leash! Thanks for giving me and my family the peace of mind that she can interact with other dogs.

We LOVE the Dawg Cams and the ability to watch her do just fine. We really appreciate the Report Cards

05/26/2021:  I appreciated so much the caregivers that kept an eye on Charlie, he’s not used to being boarded and I know he was a bit hesitant in the playrooms.  I checked out the wonderful doggie cams you had and everyone was so good with him.  Thanks again

05/22/2021:  Excellent caring staff

05/16/2021:  Is it possible to make special arrangements to pick up a dog after 7pm?  The staff is very friendly and caring about dogs. Our dog has social issues, very shy and scared, and the staff worked with him. We are looking forward to bringing our dog back to It’s A Dog’s Life once a week so he can learn to be sociable. Also we are going on a week vacation and we know we can trust our dog will be in good hands boarding here

05/12/2021:  This was Chloe’s first grooming here and she is SO HAPPY! Perfect grooming Thank You🤗

05/12/2021:  I really appreciate to friendliness of the staff and the great care they give my first baby.  I have only positive experiences!

05/04/2021:  Gil always loves his stay at Its a dogs life. My only complaint is that I was charged for another day for a mistake of pickup time that was sent to me in an email.

05/03/2021:  I can’t say enough good things about your business!  Starting with Shawn (Sean?) who was incredibly friendly, professional, and an incredible asset to your company – having him as the first contact for clients/new customers is a GREAT move!  He was super attentive, reassuring, and remembered every concern I had from our first phone conversation to my dog’s first appointment, and made me feel comfortable with your grooming process and your people.

Next – Dana!!  She’s a great groomer and was also quite professional, I truly appreciated her attention to detail with his coat, and her care/concern for Murphy’s anxieties (and mine!).  I also really liked that she walked Murphy out to me to tell me how the grooming went, I could see the difference in his behavior in just the first visit.

Thank  you for your business philosophy, from how you care for pets, to how you treat pet parents, to the employees you hire (with the same philosophy!).  I’ve been telling every pet parent I know about you!

05/02/2021:  The girls love it and that make me happy

04/30/2021:  The staff is very aware of any problems my senior dog is having and contact me immediately with any problems with suggestions and information. I feel that they look after her as caregivers as well as being a dog sitting service so her experience there is as comfortable and non-stressful as possible. I can worry about her less because of these super dog loving people

04/28/2021:  I am very impressed with the staff. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming

04/28/2021:  Grooming – Hamish looks so adorable! Thank you so much for your time and care! I also appreciate you guys being flexible when we brought him in a little early by mistake. I know Hamish loved getting an hour or so of play in before getting groomed!! You guys are awesome

04/28/2021:  Always a great experience. I know he’s in good hands and never worry🐶

04/25/2021:  I had difficulty registering Zu & a lady was nice enough to walk me thru each question. All staff is very professional.

Zu looked like he had fun on dog cam & he wagged his tail all the time

04/24/2021:  Very friendly. Everyone is great

04/16/2021:  Love you guys. Thanks for all you do!!

04/13/2021:  All staff is very kind very knowledgeable and helpful thank you to amazing team

04/13/2021:  The girls were nice and tired out.

04/13/2021:  Auggie had a great stay! We enjoyed being able to watch him having fun on the cameras

04/10/2021:  Loki must have had a great time…he was wore out when we got home!

04/10/2021:  Grooming – Very pleased with Dudley’s cut!

04/08/2021:  Sasha is just as happy as ever. I was worried about her transition being gone so long, but she was happy and adjusted well back at home. Thank you!!

04/08/2021:  I love that your staff told me they had found an infection in my dog’s ear and in his back paw so that I could get him to a vet when I picked him up. Thanks 🙂

04/06/2021:  Super easy to drop off and pick up! And our dog seemed to have a great time!

04/05/2021:  The staff is great and kept us informed of how Stella was doing g during her stay. They even let us k ow when there was an issue.

04/01/2021:  We are very happy at It’s a dogs life! Bear seems to love it there. We love watching him run around and play on the cameras

03/30/2021:  Chloe is super squirmy for nail trims and this is the best her nails have ever looked.  I am so impressed!

03/28/2021:  I know my dog is in good hands. 🙂

03/25/2021:  Great place!! Great owner!! Great staff!!  When we tell our dog it’s time to go play puppies 🐶 he runs to the car door..

03/24/2021:  I had a super great experience when speaking with Lisa before our Greet and Treat, but I was slightly disappointed when I came to pick Moose up and the girl at the desk seemed pretty unenthusiastic. I was excited to hear about how Moose did and her response was, “no news is usually good news”. Which is good to know, but I would have liked to hear a more caring response about my pet and any specifics.

03/23/2021:  Everyone is awesome!  Very friendly staff!

03/19/2021:  Everyone is always so kind and helpful with our dog when he is in your care

03/17/2021:  I loved the emails about Lucy and her eating habits.  Lisa was outstanding in making it easy for me to board her and was much appreciated for picking Lucy up to go to boarding

03/16/2021:  Grooming – Dana is absolutely fantastic! Thor always looks awesome after his grooming appointments.

03/14/2021:  The staff is FANTASTIC!

03/12/2021:  Everyone was so friendly and went above and beyond to answer my questions. Auggie had a great time and we love being able to see him on camera. He is looking forward to his stay in a few weeks.

03/10/2021:  I liked how we were welcomed and the help from your trainer, Katrina, is great!  My Bindi is a very shy little girl and needs some socialization.  With the help of your crew and Katrina I’m hoping she will come out of her shell more.  Thank you for what you do!! Bindi and foster mom Char

03/03/2021:  Everyone was extremely friendly. We were not apprehensive at all about leaving Andy there.

03/03/2021:  Molly loves “Daycare”. She was so tired from playing with the other dogs. We were watching the camera’s periodically throughout the day and we can tell that you guys really care about the dogs…

02/26/2021:  They make things very easy and efficient and our puppy had a great time.

02/25/2021:  Love the staff and facilities at It’s a Dog’s Life! They are always so nice and helpful. They take care of my dog as if she were their own!

02/25/2021:  Everyone was so good to Cooper and loved him as if he was their own.  It was great to be able to check the webcam a couple of times, to see him having a blast with the other dogs and handlers.  We had a great experience there for the greet and treat. Already booked another day for him. I look forward to the weather being better so he’ll get to go outside more for potty breaks. Being that he is a puppy, he needs to go out more often!

02/23/21:  Staff is excellent! Highly recommend!

2/20/21:  So far so good.  Lucy enjoyed day care; I am very confident that she will enjoy being boarded.

Great experience from my first phone call when just thinking about using them, to actually booking with them on an urgent basis, to drop off, to emailed updates and videos of my puppy while we were away, to grooming, to pick up! Great place!  They care about me as a puppy mommy and about my puppy!

We would like to see more play time for our dog.  Obviously COVID limits what we can see inside the facility, but it would be nice to see where our dog is when he is not on camera.  Not sure if you could do covid friendly tours?

My Shiba Chloe loves going here to get her bath. She is relaxed when they take her in and smells great when she’s done.

Chloe had a great first day of daycare!  She has not had a lot of experience playing with other dogs, but you did a great job acclimating her and she had a good day.  We will be back soon!

Always impressed by the great care my pup gets!

They treat your dog like their own!

Love all the posted pics and report cards and Jameson loves all the love and hugs🐾❤️

Well groomed.  He looks like a classic Wire Haired Fox Terrier.  We are extremely pleased.

I have a Shih Tzu puppy and wasn’t sure how he should be groomed, but he needed a bath, trim and nails trimmed.  I submitted a question about it on a Saturday night, not expecting a response until the next week.  They responded within an hour! I made an appointment with one of their stylists.  She came in to work just for Ruger. She took the time she needed so that Ruger felt comfortable with his first experience at a groomer. She did a great job.  He looks amazing. Ruger now has a new best friend there!  🙂

Dana was great and a very skilled groomer!

My pup always receives excellent care!  Amazing staff!

Casper is so happy to have a safe and fun place to go.  I love the staff!!

Bear seemed very happy and looked like he was having fun when I was watching the cameras! He came home tired, which is what we wanted! I’m looking forward to bear spending some days there!

Thanks

Katie

Very friendly staff and very clean environment. They have been great with my dog’s separation anxiety and she is doing well there.

I would love to see some video taken of the older dogs who don’t chase balls and run about. We like to see how our more sedentary pets are doing during the day too.

You did an outstanding job for our Gabby!  She was a mess and we knew it before bringing her in and you made her look like the beautiful dog she is without judgment as it had been a few years since she had the few extra dollars for the professional treatment.  Thank you!

Lisa, Alexa, Haylee, and everyone have been great so far.  I’m excited for this experience with Minnie.  🙂

Dana always does a great job

The staff here always take such great care of our boys!!

The entire staff really gets to know your dog on an intimate level and it’s obvious that they take great care of our furry friends.

Charlie came in for grooming and he looks great!  Our regular groomer was out sick and Charlie was getting too shaggy.  It’s A Dog’s Life came to our rescue!  Charlie loves coming for play sessions as well.

We love It’s a Dog’s Life. Minnie has a great time and feels loved.

Gunnar (our dog) and our entire family love this place!  It is like a second home for Gunnar.  Gunnar attends day care 1-2 times a week, and we also use their boarding and grooming services.  We know our dog is in great hands.  Gunnar just got back from a grooming appointment.  He is a difficult dog to groom and he looks and smells fantastic!  We really feel like they love each and every dog that they care for!

Molly looked amazing when we brought her home!💖 Thank you Dana!

looked so fresh and cute loved the Christmas themed bandana

My Dog Loki absolutely loves going to daycare and everyone takes such great care of him!!!

The staff seemed to care about her interaction (or lack of) with  the other dogs and suggested a more mellow setting for her instead of being with the more energetic and younger dogs. I feel better about leaving her in a place that caters to her needs this way. Also, watching on the cams, it seemed a very clean and happy place for dogs.

Sookie looked beautiful as always!

M Carson ~ Sookie’s Mom

Sam always comes home tired and happy! It’s great! He is happy to get out of the car to go and play , not quite as happy to come home!  You guys are wonderful! Thank you for taking such good care of Sam

S Sarin ~ Sammy’s Mom

Everyone was very friendly and I loved the report cards and watching our puppy on the live camera.  It was nice to know he was in good hands while we were away.

A Yee ~ Henry’s Mom

I was nervous leaving my pup as he’s never attended doggie camp and he’s a senior boy.  Everyone and I mean everyone is amazing. I’ve noticed he’s much calmer at home (I think he’s exhausted from his doggie activity).  This has been the best thing I could do for him.  We both look forward to coming back again and again. 😀

Thank  you to all of the caring and friendly staff.

T Rabideau ~ Casper’s Mom

Amazing!!!

A Madden ~ Harvey’s Mom

We LOVE watching Pixie on the WebCams!

A Engler ~ Pixie’s Mom

Staff is great!!  Dana is Wonka’s stylist and we all love her!!!

Always recommend when someone asks!

Michele Rubin ~ Wonka’s Mom

I can barely contain Olive when pull into the parking lot! She loves coming here! Thank you so much.

J Boehne

They are so workable and kind.  We love being able to watch our dog when away on camera too.  They are on top of everything and it makes us feel very reassured about her safety and happiness while we are gone.  Can’t thank them enough!

D Ingland ~ Solus’ Mom

I was very pleased!!!

D Walker ~

Our family and our dog love It’s a Dog’s Life!!!

R Ridley ~ Gunnar’s Mom

There seems to be great communication at this daycare, I hope they keep it up. I’m not as worried about boarding Lucy, if we ever go on vacation, knowing that I have a place like this to take her.

E Zybach

It was a great first visit experience for Eastwood!

J Bayliss ~ Eastwood’s Dad

I am always so happy with the service I receive from It’s   a Dogs ‘s Life  Resort  and Spa in Wixom. They take care of my dogs as if they were their own. Every time I have them groomed I can’t believe how perfect they look & smell.   I’ve tried to groom them myself & the results are not even close & my patience wears thin. I know my dogs are a handful & I feel so comfortable knowing they will be well taken care of.

Any time I have boarded them they are always super excited to get in the building. That’s a great sign they are being treated awesome & can’t wait to see everyone! It also makes me feel so much better about leaving my babies when I can watch them on the video cam playing.

K Dowdy ~ Sage’s Mom

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Tucker while we were out of town, everyone is so accommodating and friendly, we very much appreciate it!

J Martin ~ Tucker’s Mom

You have taken great care of Bailee and her friends.  It is reassuring to check in while out of town by watching how much fun she is having on the cameras.  I looked forward to the daily report card which is something I’ve never received from any other boarding facility.

I can tell the staff truly loves what the do!!

M Pitts ~ Bailee’s Mom

I loved how the staff sent me pictures of Foxy!

Dedriauna Walker

It seemed like Pixie lost a little bit of weight when she was there. It is probably difficult to monitor the weights of the dogs, however she was there for almost 2 weeks. That will definitely not deter us from bringing her back – you guys are fantastic! We loved the free Meet and Greet, to make sure it was a good fit, and the webcams are invaluable! guess I’m also not sure what happens on Saturdays and Sundays. Does she mostly stay in her suite, and get let out three or four times a day?

Thanks again for making it so easy for us to be comfortable with her experience there.

A Engler ~ Pixie’s Mom

LeBron loves you guys 💙🏈

M Pedersen ~ Lebron’s Mom

Everyone was so friendly from the moment I called about the facility.  Nikki met Bailee and me at the car and answered all of my questions.  She even sent me videos of the facility since tours are not available at this time.

I was blown away be the professionalism of the staff.  Your website is very detailed and played a big part in our decision to board Bailee.  She had a great time and is looking forward to boarding next week.

M Pitts ~ Bailee’s Mom

I really appreciated that the facility wasn’t overcrowded. It seemed to be a comfortable environment for all of the dogs that were participating In the day care! I loved being able to watch the doggie cameras too. However, Camera #1 waS not working and I wasn’t able to view anything on it. He loved his ice cream treat and the staff was very friendly.

K Pyles ~ Bozeman’s Mom

Staff was extremely friendly and Gordie seemed to enjoy his day. We are looking forward to the socialization and it appears to be a well-run business!!

D Miller ~ Gordie’s Mom

Staff is always friendly and our dog actually looks forward to going.

M Romm ~ Buddy’s Dad

My dog Bella loves doggy day care days at It’s a Dogs Life

J Witek ~ Bella’s Dad

Very pleasant experience overall

S Krishnamony ~ Oblo’s Mom

It was so reassuring to see the progress report and videos of the Kind staff interacting with Bleu and watching him have fun with the other dogs.

A Burke ~ Bleu’s Mom

They take great care of my dog! I always have peace of mind,  kept well informed and know he is enjoying his time with videos and report card which they provide.

C Shaw ~ Dakota’s Mom

My dog Loki absolutely loves your doggie daycare!! I really like the staff and he practically jumps out of the car as I drive down the street to get inside.  I like how safe he is and how much he enjoys playing with all the other doggies 😄

L Newman ~ Loki’s Mom

I love all of the friendly reminders.

Dana Z. is absolutely fabulous.  Wonka loves her!

M Rubin ~ Wonka’s Mom

We have always had good experiences  here-the staff is very friendly!

J Dulzo ~ Jack’s Dad

Great experience. Will bring Scout back.

J Dooley ~ Scouts’ Mom

Thank you Dana! Thor looks great!

C Vita-Rinkel ~ Thor’s Mom

Great experience.

J Hall ~ Mollie’s Mom

Great experience!

J Hall ~ Jones’ Mom

The staff are amazing 💕 Our pooches is so taken care of Thank you.

H Fielding ~ AJ’s Mom

Being able to check the doggie cams and see that my dog was bonding with the staff and other pups was really comforting and fun!

A Murphy ~ Bentley’s Mom

The groomer did an excellent job of following my request for how I wanted DaVinci’s hair cut. 🙂

C Kushler ~ Davinci’s Mom

I’m so happy I found this place! My dog is always so excited when he realizes where we are,  he gets so happy to see all the girls! And he’s more relaxed at home and doesn’t chase my cats.  Its made a huge difference in his behavior. Thank you!!!!

A Madden ~ Harvey’s Mom

The experience was great from start-to-finish. Super friendly staff on the phone, during check-in, and dropoff. I checked in on the doggy cams more often than I care to admit – there were so many wagging tails! The staff looked like they were always enjoying themselves and kept the area continually cleaned and organized, even with a gaggle of dogs in tow. At one point we watched the staff attempt to adjust the placement of one of the play structures, just as a dog hopped on top adding to her load. She stopped to take a break, laughing as the dogs started licking her face : ) Redd will definitely return for some play and likely some boarding.

M Brautnick ~ Redd’s Mom

We have been having issues with separation anxiety with Birdie. It has taken a lot of stress off us, having a place to take her while we work.  Birdie loved her day at daycare.

J Matschikowski ~ Birdie’s Mom

The staff was great when I called in to see how my dog was doing.  They put all my concerns at ease and seeing my dog in the videos they send was also very helpful.

S Jackson – Oliver’s Dad

Finn is always super excited to come and is always super tired from a full day of fun.  Really appreciate the pool time the dogs get as well

R Fredell ~ Finn’s Mom

Thanks for doing a great job grooming King & Rocco.  They were both happy doggies when I picked them up & looked adorable!

C Lewis ~ Rocco’s Mom

My husband and I were so pleased with the facility and staff. It takes special people to take care of your family pet and have the dogs feel so attached to the daycare staff member.  We really enjoyed  watching Molly via webcam  following dogs and attendant around. I wish she would have played a little more and enjoy the step climbers.  We felt that she did good for her first visit and know she will grow out of her shyness. I am happy we can rely on a daycare/boarding facility where we can be reassured she will be taken care of.  I wish covid was not going on so we could see whole facility. Would love to see the suites where she will stay when boarding.  Making finishing plans for her home away from home when we go on vacation.  So many places do not allow pets so it makes it bitter sweet.  Definitely bragging about her stay to family and friends. Thank you to the whole staff.

A Dooley ~ Molly’s Mom

Great service.  Super helpful staff.

J Stewart ~ Buster’s Mom

Excellent facility and care for our dog.   Great customer service and communication, and very easy website for making reservations and providing information.

M. Ownby ~ Mia’s Dad

We love “It’s a dog’s Life” and Our dog loves it too!

~ R. Ridley ~ Gunnar’s mom

We were very happy with our 2 dogs week-long stay.

There is so much love and attention that I could watch on the doggie cams. The place smells very clean and you are not overwhelmed with barking dogs whenever you walk thru the door. The Owner and others are very pleasant. We will be back!

The day after I picked the dogs up, they kept looking at me like they were bored to death while just laying around the house.

They treat my dog as their own.

You take wonderful care of Shiloh! I really appreciate the extra effort!

Thank you,

Bill

If I could watch how my dog were doing in the cage during a nap time via webcam, I would love that.  I would like to have a brief tour inside your facility at the first visit.

Our boys stayed for a long weekend and had a >wonderful time>! They were exhausted when we picked them up. The video and report cards gave us peace of mind as well! Highly recommend

The staff was very welcoming to my pup! I felt comfortable having him stay there.

I trust Hamilton completely while he is at school and being boarded  or a sleepover as we call it for him. I know that he loves school, his friends, and the people who take care of him while we are working or away. Thank you all for being a part of our village and loving Hamilton like we do

t’s truly like dropping our furry baby off with a family who cares.  I am extraordinarily impressed with the professionalism, genuine kindness and astute insight into the behavior and happiness of our most vulnerable family member. Both the owner Lisa ( who is exceptional at inspiring comfort and security) and her talented, caring absolutely Wonderful staff who on a daily basis show compassion, patience and care with expertise and thoughtful affection that is admirable in any profession but is essential in pet care!! As a customer for almost 2 years I can with complete confidence recommend Its a Dog’s Life for your pet care.

My dog got kennel cough, no one noticed

We really appreciate all you did for Benji during his stay. However, I just took him for a follow up at his vet since he wasn’t getting any better…the cone that the Walled Lake vet gave him was much too short and he could easily reach his incision. I have a feeling this was the reason he got so much worse in the last few days.

He’s now on the mend with a larger cone and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that this whole ordeal will be behind us soon!

Take care,

Jenny K

All the staff are caring people. Not sure you can ask for much more…

We love the staff here! They make us feel so at home always making us and Sammy feel so special.

Everyone does exceptional care for the girls

I was so impressed with the friendliness of the staff! Everyone made sure I was completely comfortable when I dropped her off for her first day. And just as friendly when I picked her up! Very happy!!

Charlie loves it at It’s A Dog’s Life! Everyone is so nice and takes great care of her. We love getting the daily email with videos of her playing. It makes us smile to watch her and her friends playing.

Jett looks forward to his Friday play day

Very happy with service.

Price is more than I’m used to.

Ellie was telling me what a great time she had meeting everyone, all about the new friends she made and what a wonderful time she had.

Everyone was sooo friendly.  I was worried about separation anxiety, but didn’t have any because I could see what a great time Ellie was having online.

We will definitely be back.

Thanks again!

Everyone is very friendly

kyler is fresh and clean and clipped nails and looking smooth, thank you so much

Bailey was very happy to stay for his haircut and was really calmed when he went home. Always a great experience with his Friends at It’s a dog’s life!!!

We appreciate the excellent care you give Lebron when he is such a fear based dog. He loves you guys !!!

I was in awe of how great my dog looked after going so long without a haircut (thanks to quarantine). We will definitely be coming back for grooming! Thank you so much!

Friendly and courteous staff, competitive rates, Charlie likes visiting, overall great way to go, no concerns when Charlie is here.

First time taking our puppy Major there. Staff was extremely nice! Can’t wait to take him back next week for his first time at daycare! 🐶😁

The staff is great and my dog always is excited when I pull in the driveway to drop him off.  Always a great sign when my dog goes with someone else.

Did such a great job I will be back in 3 months!

Great job on Buster’s haircut! He desperately needed a cut. Glad I can see my cute dog’s eyes again. He seems so much happier, too!

My mini labradoodle came here with mats because of stay at home  they were so kind to her and gave her breaks  I will definitely be back and make the recommendation to others  thank you!!

Haircut looks great!

Davinci looks really nice…I would have probably wanted him trimmed a little bit more with the feathering for the summer but I can bring him back later in July. It was convenient for the drop off and pick up. I am glad to see the staff wearing masks. 🙂

Love it!!

Everything is perfect! Thank you!

You all take such good care of my little guy. He has so much fun there! I’m so glad we found you guys.

-Bridget, Matt, & Dexter

The groomer did a great job with our dogs hair cut! Lexi looked super cute, very soft and fluffy, and she was one happy dog when we picked her up. The groomer and staff members were extremely courteous and polite. This was our first time using the grooming services and we will definitely be coming back!   As well as giving recommendations to all of our friends with pets. Prices were very reasonable and being able to have a credit card on file made everything extra convenient

I have never boarded pets before so I was leery  Once  I walked in the door, I couldn’t have felt more at home so I knew my puppies would be well taken care of.  I’ve been using theIr services for a year now and couldn’t be happier. From daycare to grooming they are amazing!!! I even had to leave my puppies for a week and I always felt comfortable that they would be happy & properly taken care of.  I love that I can see them on the puppy cams when they’re in day care 😃

Ellie was telling me what a great time she had meeting everyone, all about the new friends she made and what a wonderful time she had.

Everyone was sooo friendly.  I was worried about separation anxiety, but didn’t have any because I could see what a great time Ellie was having online.

The day after I picked the dogs up, they kept looking at me like they were bored to death while just laying around the house.

The staff member who checked Lupin out was wonderful. Lupin has been doing great since we picked him up and have your wonderful staff to thank for taking care of our boy.

I love being able to see the dogs play on the doggie cam.  Also very helpful to see how much they eat each day on their report card.

Staff always friendly and helpful. 🙂

I appreciated the daily report card and pictures, thank you!

Love all of you and your care for our pups 🙂

I was very disorganized when I dropped Sumo off  (& running late for the airport), but the girl who helped me was great!  It didn’t bother her at all and she made me feel much more at ease.

Also, Sumo had to have some ointment given and had a cone, but that was no issue.

Sumo seems to really enjoy his time. He will definitely be back.

Thanks again!

This is my number 1 daycare facility so far.  I haven’t been able to use this facility as my primary daycare yet.  This is because it’s 16 miles away from home, but 1 mile away from work.  Hopefully this will change in the future gradually.  I love the website to make the reservations.  Also the friendly faces when I leave my dog and when I pick her up at the end of the day.  My dog is always very happy when she leaves this daycare and seems like she had a ton of fun.  Also my wife really enjoyed the small video and scorecard at the end of the visit..  Kudos, great job!

It’s a Dog’s Life is the BEST. My puppy loves going to see his friends and the staff. We are so happy we found a dog daycare that is kind and cares about their customers!

Wesley always has so much fun when he’s here! He comes home a nice, happy, tired puppy. Thank you for all your hard work for making this such a great place for my fur baby.

I submitted my reviews on Facebook, yelp, and google. All 5 star 🙂

You guys are awesome. Thanks for taking care of Theo!

My dog enjoys his visits and I know he is being well taken care of. Thanks for all you do!

Bailey has food allergies and the Team is always willing to help to make sure she is well taken care of. Love the staff as I know Bailey is loved and taken care of as if she was their own pet!

I was nervous about leaving Daisy because she has separation anxiety.  But when we picked her up and started for the outside door, she turned and wanted to go back to the door she came through to greet us. That tells me that she really enjoyed the time she was there and wanted one more chance to stay and play!  We love all the staff and will never consider leaving Daisy any other place then “It’s A Dog’s Life!!!

My dog and I have highest praise for this facility.  I have used others and this is by far the best doggie day care I have used.  The staff is kind and tolerant of all the dogs that come in.

Staff is always friendly and helpful.  I am pleased that they interact with and are caring towards Nico.

Awesome !!

This was our first visit to a boarding facility for our beloved Griffin. It was a fantastic experience!! He had a great time and was exhausted from all the play/attention. It was so awesome to be able to check in via video. The hospitality was perfect and the love they showed Griffin was obvious and appreciated! Will definitely use them again! Thank you!!

Staff was VERY friendly and helpful.  Louie had a great time and I knew he was well taken care of during his stay.  I will definitely bring him back many times for both daycare and boarding.

Thank you for taking care of my little boy!!

My pup loves everyone here !! The new ones and the ones that have been here since she started !!  Always loves her play date with all her friends!  Thank you for taking such good care of my baby.

My dog Bella has never been happier here with the new ownership and staff.

Staff is Always very caring with a smile!

Puuuuuurfect

Everyone there very friendly and knowledgeable.  They are very good with the pets.  I loved the updates on my dog when she was there. Clean place and very happy here.  Thanks!!

I will be bringing Eddie back for both Daycare and grooming. I think it’s good for him to interact with the other dogs and hopefully the more he’s around them, the more comfortable he’ll be around other dogs. I was very pleased with the staff. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel like he was in great hands.

Very friendly staff. My dog loves it there

Thank you for treating my dog like your own!

Thank you for taking such great care of Koba and knowing we could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in great hands🐾.  Already I have recommended you to a friend on our What’s happening in South Lyon Facebook page!

Staff was awesome and our very nervous Great Dane had a great experience.  I will be telling all my family and friends about this place.  Grateful our veterinarian recommended it !

Super friendly staff.  Our 2 dogs look forward to visiting Its a Dog’s Life.  They have never gotten sick or had an issue here.

One of the things that I noticed and that I like most is that all the staff know the dogs by name. A dog and the owner come to the door and I hear “hi Zoe or hi Luna “  I think that is wonderful. Of course, it helps to know the owners but I love the fact that they know the dogs by name     My baby made lots of new friends and enjoyed her week away at training. I also like that they have a trainer right there at the facility.  Overall I am very happy with the decision and I know that Addison is being cared for adequately

Staff is very friendly and welcoming. They are very caring towards our little guy. Nice upgrades to the facility too.

Rosie can’t wait to come  back. 

I’ve been using this place pretty much since it opened almost 15 years ago. The new owner has modernized everything from policies (no aggressive dogs accepted), to the reservation system (web-based), to the lobby but has not lost the animal-loving human touch. Prices are competitive.

Meraki Training – Alexa White is our Trainer at It’s A Dog’s Life Resort & Spa.

Alexa has really helped my dog adjust his behavior AND she has been amazingly patient with us as owners.  We definitely see the positive difference in his behavior and she has helped us do a 180 in our understanding of him and reading his needs/signals.
(more…)

Clean facility, caring staff and my dog gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. He has the best time playing with his friends.

We were very nervous about leaving our new puppy, but the staff spent time talking with us an it was clear they truly cared about the dogs.

I recommend It’s a Dog’s Life because our dog has done well at every visit, the staff know him by name and give him a lot of attention and affection.

Sassy and Brodie love their daycare visits and getting groomed to go to GG’s house!

Our 2 dogs are getting up in age (almost 10 and 11 years old), but they still love getting out for exercise and socialization.  They always get excited about seeing their friends at It’s A Dog’s Life Resort & Spa.  (more…)

Keep up the good work.

Rosie can’t wait to come  back.

My dogs are a handful but I know they get the care and attention they need (and am confident all the dogs do).  I have had great experiences at this facility throughout its different management teams. I am grateful that Lisa is continuing a great facility. I can trust my “special needs dogs” are not going to get themselves into avoidable trouble.  Throughout my dogs issues IaDL has always come thru with pairing or recommending the right resources to help him thru his issues.

Luna has the best time there and with everyone! 🙂

Addie Mae loves coming to play!!!

My pup loves going to doggie daycare! The staff are so wonderful. They are knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend!
