Alii Animal Unleashed - Honolulu, Hawaii

Jan

Unleashed is like a bomb shelter. All the dogs are barking when you call because they are clearly upset. No one was playing with the dogs. And if not in cages, were by themselves in fence enclosures. Until a client drops by, then they announce it & staff scurries over to act like they were playing with dog. Go for yourself. I am glad when I recommended it to friend, without seeing it, she would not board her dog there. They are definitely short staffed & opened up various locations without having enough vets, front desk people or employees to play with dogs (last one refers to their “resort grooming” - Unleashed). Best vet they ever had left Ali’i (Dr Gupta). All great reviews pertain to him or are written by owner & staff as though are clients. This is just a bit about them.

My doggo has been going here for a year now. He definitely enjoys it and looks forward to seeing the staff and his fellow doggie friends.

Staff ensures he eats and makes sure he’s happy throughout the day. Definitely going to continue bringing him (:

Especially since he’s so excited he jumps out of the car everytime I go to drop him off ?

My dog is always overly excited when we pull up for his day of daycare. He loves it and when we get home he's all tuckered out which is great for me after a long day. The staff treat him well and have always been extremely accommodating. Highly recommend. Prices are typical of the area.

Our dog loves this place because it is spacious and the staff are nice. We have boarded our dog multiple times already. We trust them and we are also able to view how she is doing through video cameras daily. Thank you taking care of Hobak!

We had a very positive experience boarding our dog with special medical needs. We felt she was well cared for and she came back happy. The staff communicated well with us too. And we love the dog cams!

My daughter's dog loves it here. We love that we're able to watch him on the pet cam. Everyone there is always happy to see our boy. They truly care for the dogs in their charge. Always clean and is well maintained.

Kinda small for the price. My German shepherd puppy was shaking from fear when we entered, so I didn't end up leaving her there. An associate crowded her space while she was terrified, and she retreated; ending up in a corner. I asked her to give her space, and she did right away. They were very respectful and refunded the deposit. They agreed she shouldn't be there. 3 stars because I was envisioning an indoor basketball court sized environment from the advertising. Also smack dab in the middle of cracktown. They said they would of walked her outside, but there was no way I would want her walking in that waste and glass. They positively would have respected that request, but then again the space was small for an extended stay. Definitely not 1 star, if your dog thrives in that environment, the staff was really nice. Underwhelming is a good word for the space.

Every pawrent wants to take their fur baby somewhere that treats their little one like ohana and I can say, categorically, that is Ali’i. We’ve been taking Sunny to Ali’i for just over two years now for his veterinary, grooming, and daycare needs. Having everything in one place has so many benefits:
1. His medical records and needs are always being considered - Sunny gets allergies and has at times needed special spray for hot spots or even to be pulled out of daycare for his allergy shot or a check-up. It puts my mind at ease knowing he’s in their care.
2. Grooming can happen at in the same day with daycare so I don’t have to make extra stops.
3. It’s a familiar place so he doesn’t stress for all of his different needs and just trots right in.

I can’t thank the whole staff over at Ali’i Unleashed enough for taking care of my little man, like a birthday photo shoot (thank you Peggy and everyone who got him to pose! they’re my absolute favorite pictures) and giving me updates on his day - even when they’re funny/embarrassing ones (thank you Kea!). Also a shout out to Manny & Hae who keep this chow mix looking fresh - it’s a lot of hair and my vacuum appreciates your work ?
