What Reviews Say

74 reviews analyzed

The Barkmont is highly regarded for its attentive staff and transparency, particularly through the use of webcams that allow owners to monitor their pets. Customers frequently praise the facility's ability to handle dogs with medical needs, anxiety, or post-surgery requirements, often describing the staff as a 'second family.' While there are isolated complaints regarding lobby odors and a disputed report of an injury, the overwhelming majority of users report that their dogs return home happy, tired, and eager to return.

Worth noting

Allegation of injury/blood upon pickup

Picked up my elderly dog and he had blood all over his neck. They told me he came in like that

Dog returned covered in urine/sick

Our dog was definitely not happy here... returned covered in urine and we believe he caught some kind of cold

Lobby/Facility Odor(2 mentions)

the one time I went inside their lobby the smell was absolutely awful.

Pricing for extra services(2 mentions)

at the price point I wish they'd do more with the dogs (walks, playing with them directly, etc) without having to pay even more.
