Lucky Dog Pet Lodge

Best place ever! I so love Lucky dog. My dog has been going to daycare for the past 3 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The staff are very pleasant and knows you by name. I am very funny when it come to my baby (a pug) and how he is treated and they totally understands and they treat us like family. I whole heartedly would recommend this place to everyone. And BTW I’ve been to other places and nothing can come close. Love, Love, Love LDPL

Didn’t work for us. Our dog came home with awful diarrhea but we weren’t told he had it so you can imagine the mess. Turns out they washed his bed the day we came to get him yet they failed to mentioned why. Verdict is still out as to what’s wrong with him. Blood with the diarrhea could mean a parasite. Plus, a dog who maybe barks once a month (at most) now is barking all the time since he spent a few nights in the kennel. Lastly, we checked on him several times while gone using the webcam. When he was supposed to be at play time there were no signs of any dogs. Not sure how often that occurs but wasn’t thrilled with that either. May have a very large vet bill. As it is now, we have a very large dry cleaning bill IF they can even get this out of the rugs. In total, not a fan of the end results.

Lucky Dog is a GREAT GREAT GREAT place to bring your pup. I have my girl in day camp five days a week, and also board here there when I need to travel. It is one stop shop, as I also have her baths done there, ears cleaned, and nails cut. From being greeted by Tom the owner in the morning, to Angie at pickup in the afternoon, and all supporting staff, the staff is great. I know that every dog, every morning, has their tail wagging as they enter. I have boarded my pup for a few days, brought her home, and the next morning she was ready to go back.

Being a first time customer and dog owner with reading all the positive reviews around this place I was very optimistic that my puppy would thoroughly enjoy herself (Keep in mind that she is a very lovable lab). Instead, she was completely traumatized. I’m very glad that I took her to check out the facility prior to leaving her here for boarding, because if I would have left her here I would have felt so bad. First off to introduce her to the facility they took her from me and let her go into the fenced in area with 40+ other dogs. There was no slow introduction into the area, which scared her to see that many big dogs around her. After four hours of «daycare» time for her evaluation I was told that they would honor my reservation, which was in 2 days to keep her there, but would not take her back after that. They told me she wouldn’t get play time and would be caged up the entire time, which keep in mind was 7 days. After all of this they suggested I scramble to find somewhere else to take her in the next 24 hrs. I will not be going back nor would I suggest anyone taking their dog or puppy there.

What a wonderful experience! We’ve brought our dog here many times and have always loved bringing her back. The staff is very friendly and clearly love their jobs. Our dog gets excited every time we’ve dropped her off and she always comes home happy and tired. Plus, it’s great to have the webcam to check up on her when we miss her. I would absolutely recommend boarding your dog here!

If I could give more stars I would. These people are always, always outstanding. They know my dogs name (and gave her a nickname), they’re always friendly, they tell me about other dogs that she’s played with – I could go on and on. My dog starts barking every day to rush me inside when we get there. The place is always clean, they’re willing to work with you when finances are tight, and I get to visit with the owner at least twice a week – who remembers me and my dog by name.
On top of all of that, I’ve done the research – this place is at LEAST $ 75 cheaper than other places. I’ve seen daycares that would have me pay $ 125 more per month for 20 days of access. Here, the UNLIMITED monthly fee is $ 375 after tax. That’s an insanely good deal.
TL;DR: So, so in love with this place.

My pooches love it there! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. It’s very convenient. Just drop them off when I need to run errands or go to work. Overnight is great when going out of town. My dogs get home and sleep. A tired puppy is a happy puppy and Lucky Dog makes my pups very happy. Best doggie daycare in town! I tell all my friends about it and highly recommend it.

We boarded our dog here for 1 night while we were in town for a wedding. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I liked that the dogs could run around and play, and then get their own room to sleep in at night. That is what our dog is used to at the various boarding facilities we’ve had him stay at near home or when traveling. When we picked him up in the morning, the staff was again super friendly and also very organized. They had his things ready to go in a bag for him (we had left toys for his private room overnight). They also had an adorable report card they filled out for him! It was very cute. This place was also conveniently located near the airport. If we ever come back to Minneapolis, we will definitely come back here and would recommend it to anyone in the area.

The staff was amazingly nice and helped us with the enrollment process. They were nice when we came in with our dog, and we’re not rude in any sort of way. During your dogs visit you can look at their handy cameras in the various rooms, which made us laugh in watching my dog play. At the end of the day I got a «report card» which had how she reacted to other dogs and how she did during the day. This made me feel like they really cared about her well being and all of that. Whenever we are in Minneapolis again we will go out of our way to go to this place again.

Our dogs, even the one who gets nervous with humans, have always had a great time here. They’ve handled meds well, and I’m glad that they don’t have forced cage time while they clean like other places. I also like being able to check on them with the webcam, though it’s sometimes a little hard to pick them out individually.

I was met at the door by Angie and Kayla, and they immediately knew my dogs name (might be because I was the last reservation of the day) the staff was super friendly. I had filled out the forms a day in advance and had my vet fax my dogs vaccinations. Lucky dog responded within minutes of receiving my application and communicated instructions promptly.
The place looks a little dodgy outside, but it’s absolutely wonderful inside. Front desk area is very clean, and the inside had separates areas, but visibility to each. They let my dog meet the other dogs and it seemed like a great process.
So far so good! They also have doggie cams so you can watch your pup for free!

Lucky Dog Pet Lodge is amazing!!! We take our little (not really so little) Reesey Pie there every couple of weeks for Doggie Day Care, they are always SO SO nice at the front desk and the owner always says hi when he is there too. This weekend was the first time leaving Reesey there for a couple of nights, I had no reservations about leaving her there with the staff. Reesey LOVES the place so she ran right through the door and I didn’t even say goodbye when I dropped her off! haha, needless to say she is WIPED out right now. Everyone should bring their pup’s here, it is the best around!!! :) Thank you Lucky Dog for taking such great care of our baby!!! :)

had never taken my dogs to doggie daycare so I was a little nervous. I called and they explained everything over the phone and off I went the following day. They were great when I dropped my dogs off taking all my paperwork and my rambunctious dogs. I could tell they were dog people because they handled my dogs very well easing my concerns about leaving my dogs. Also from the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with friendly smiles and positive attitudes at an early time of the morning so the staff is incredible. After a long day of watching them on the live webcam I was at ease and when I came to pick them up the staff knew exactly who my dogs were by name when there were a lot of dogs there that day. Again very friendly staff with positive attitudes and when paying they mentioned some options on how to save money with their packages but there wasn’t a hard sell which was very cool. Then I was handed my dogs report card for the day which was very cool. I enjoyed reading about how my dog did and what other dog’s they played with. Overall this place is awesome! From the phone customer service, to the greeting when I walk in, to the payment and pickup of my dogs. I will definitely be coming back because my dogs were so happy and TIRED from a fun day at doggie daycare. I am very very very happy with my experience!!!

Awesome place to take your fur babies! I have 2 dogs I take here on a weekly basis, the staff is always so friendly and they were able to help my smaller dog (55 lbs) become comfortable to play with larger dogs. Everyone is always so happy to see my pups and listen to all of my requests. Highly recommended.

I was super nervous about boarding my dog (first time dog owner, first time boarding for more than a night, first time at Lucky Dog). The people who work there were so helpful (and patient) in asking all of my questions (there were many). While Winnie was there, I was able to call and find out how she was doing, and I could see her on the web cam quite a bit, which was great.
Looking around, it was one of the least expensive places in the metro area AND they offer free daycare with boarding– it’s awesome. I fully intend to go back any time I need my dog boarded. Seriously the best place ever.

Highly recommend for anyone needing to drop their dog off to enjoy a little time at the Mall of America! We are from out of town on our way home and needed a place to watch our puppy for a few hours. It was quick, easy, and they even gave her a bath before we went to pick her up. Very pleased we were able to find it and how simple it was.

We bring our dogs here almost everyday. They love it! When we pick them up they sleep the whole car ride. They get so excited in the morning when they can see the building. The staff is awesome. Highly recommended!

This place is awesome! My dog has been going since she was 12 weeks and they have helped her to socialize perfectly. My pup is now 6 months and her favorite place is daycare!

I really can’t say enough good things about Lucky Dog, anyone looking for a great place to take their dog where they’ll be treated like family, this is the place. My Rotty mix, and Boxer would both go everyday if they could. They have a huge indoor facility with play equipment, and also a huge enclosed outdoor lot for the dogs to play in. Tom is a great owner who you know loves what he does, and will take care of your dog no question. In addition the staff is equally as caring. The rates are very reasonable, and you can do half days or full days (per day, or you can purchase a package), and/​or boarding.
I would give this place 10 stars if I could.

My dog LIVES for this place. If I mention Lucky Dog, he gets very excited and runs to the car.
The staff are amazing. They really care about your pet and obviously love what they do. The facility is huge and clean.
I’ve both used their day car and boarding and have to say its stellar.
