What Reviews Say

213 reviews analyzed

Barks Bed & Biscuit is highly regarded for its friendly staff and the transparency provided by their live webcams, which many owners find comforting. However, there are significant recurring concerns regarding dogs returning home with kennel cough, smelling of urine, or with uneaten food rations. While the facility is praised for its grooming and accommodating nature, the owner's responses to negative feedback often shift blame to the pet owners, particularly regarding supervision and feeding instructions.
