What Reviews Say

173 reviews analyzed

Bark & Stay Pet Resort presents a starkly polarized customer experience. While many long-term clients praise the facility for its affordable rates, large outdoor play areas, and popular swimming pond, a significant number of recent reviews report catastrophic safety failures including dog escapes, severe medical neglect, and even a pet fatality. There is a recurring theme of pets returning home with unexplained injuries, infections, or extreme dehydration, often met with defensive or dismissive attitudes from management.

Severe medical neglect and death

β€œMy best friend dropped off her Great Dane for 10 days and he died from severe dehydration!!! When she picked him up... he was barely breathing!”

Unexplained physical injuries (punctures/gashes)

β€œHe clearly had 2 punctures on his face which Bark and Stay said 'must have happened before he got here'.”

Escaped dogs

β€œThey stated my dog climbed out from the fences and went missing for 23 days in the cornfields... My dog was the 4th dog got out from there.”

Starvation/Dehydration

β€œshe came back dehydrated and all her food was returned to me, so they gave her NO food and water for 3 nights/4 days.”

Kennel Cough/Infection(6 mentions)

β€œOur Blue Heeler coughed all the way home (seal bark) so much he was choking... vet confirmed & both dogs being treated.”

β€œThey both had their own poop all over their feet because they said they wouldn't take them out.”
