What Reviews Say
309 reviews analyzedThe Pet Barracks is highly regarded for its exceptional cleanliness, professional staff, and detailed communication through digital 'report cards' and photos. While the facility is a top choice for military families and high-energy dogs, some customers have raised serious concerns regarding significant weight loss in pets during long-term boarding and a lack of immediate notification when animals stop eating. Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, characterized by a staff that is deeply attentive to animal body language and socialization.
