She is boarded there approx. 4-6 times per year. The front end people seem very caring. It was their decision to board her in assisted living (quieter) as she aged. She's about 14 years old now. When she was younger they gave her food supplements because she was so excitable that she would lose weight when she stayed even tho she ate all her food. I don't know how the kennel operates in the back but I always see dogs being walked when I'm there and the 2 times I was in the back it was clean and orderly. Once. Zsa Zsa had a benign lipoma (a fatty tumor) that was bleeding and I got a call from the manager about it. It was my fault that I neglected to mention the possibility of a bleed. I appreciated their notice and consideration. Would Zsa Zsa rather be home? Of course. Is that possible? No. Especially as she is older, I feel more comfortable knowing Best Friends is watching out for her  (Hide)

I couldn't be happier with the quality of the staff and personal attention my dog receives. All the counselors are excellent, especially Jacki and Kevin. They are dedicated professionals who develop special relationships with the campers. My dog's health and safety are of their utmost concern. I have a special needs dog who needs lunch time meds which is why I'm there daily. I visited 2 other camps before deciding to entrust my special boy to Best Friends. My dog was thoroughly reviewed for temperament and vaccinations checked before being permitted to attend camp. The camp is constantly being cleaned and I can even check on my boy by logging on to their webcam!  (Hide)

I have been boarding my yellow Lab Mandy for many years. They are so good to animals it shows. Every time I have her boarded i get a email with a picture of Mandy having a good time.

Great grooming by Katalin in Bethany CT for our "slightly spoiled" doggy. I make sure to ask for her now and have been pleased so far.

(More) I notice these reviews come from all over the country...the only LOCAL one is way down in Camden County and when I went to check it out for my dog, found the play area covered in feces, despite them having an emormous outdoor fenced in area. The manager said they don't go outside much. I said thank you, GOODBYE and left. Then went home and googled "pet sitter" Margate, NJ - and found a much better alternative.  (Hide)

(More) Valerie groomed my dog in Chadds Ford with Tender Loving Care I was soooooo happy and lucky to find someone who really shows she cares and loves animals I walked out of so many places because they all looked miserable. My dog was heavily matted due to mom having cancer and I lost my regular groomer, but Val did not traumatize him. My dog is happy and pretty. The place is clean and friendly. PLEASE TIP WELL RATES ARE REASONABLE FOR THE AREA. MY SEARCH IS FINALLY OVER FOR A HAPPY CARING GROOMER WHO IS LOVING TO OUR FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS  (Hide)
