What Reviews Say

225 reviews analyzed

Bayside Bed and Biscuit is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 90%+ 5-star reviews praising the exceptional training programs (especially Amanda), caring staff, and happy dogs who eagerly anticipate visits. The facility excels at creating a 'home away from home' experience. However, several serious red flags emerge: a dog left in urine-soaked cage causing genital burns, a dehydration incident with blood in urine, and a kennel cough outbreak affecting multiple dogs. These incidents, combined with occasional complaints about high prices, inconsistent grooming, and rudeness from some front desk staff, suggest areas needing attention. The owner actively responds to reviews with professional, warm messages and has addressed some issues (fired groomer, offered remedies).

Worth noting

Dog left in urine-soaked cage resulting in severe genital irritation

โ€œOur dog ended up laying in pee. This dog was a male dog. The urine made his balls all raw and fleshy.โ€

Dog returned severely dehydrated with dark yellow urine and blood in urine

โ€œShe gets home desperate for water, and just 10 minutes after arriving she peed a very dark yellow color, she never pees that dark. Also, as soon as she came back, her first two potty trips had blood.โ€

Kennel cough outbreak affecting multiple dogs

โ€œI took 2 of my fur babies here about a month ago they came back with kennel cough. This place offers insurance for this, which I bought. At the time I thought it was awesome. We have 8 rescues that all got infected with the sickness they brought home from this facility.โ€

Dog did not receive promised group play, was kenneled entire 9-day stay

โ€œMy poor dog was stuck in a kennel for 9 days...Not a happy customer! On top of all of that, my dog has kennel cough!!โ€

High prices compared to other facilities(3 mentions)

โ€œPrices are extremely high compared to our rural pet doctors.โ€

Front desk staff rudeness(2 mentions)

โ€œWe were new customers and the staff was so eager to turn me away that I definitely will not be going back.โ€

Grooming quality inconsistencies(3 mentions)

โ€œThey have never once received a proper schnauzer cut.โ€

Facility odor/dander issues

โ€œEvery time I go in the entry smells horrible. The dander is so bad, I understand they're a groomer but we use to go here all the time until we moved briefly and it never smelled that way.โ€
