    First full day at Bark City. On top of the world!! this is one happy Lucky Dog
    M M.

    My first dog, Lucky, used to come here and was well-loved and cared for. My new puppy Winston just started here. He is very tentative and cautious. Your staff has been so gentle and patient with him. Thank you for providing a safe, fun space for him and peace of mind for me!

    Something is not right with the daycare experience here. There is no way to see how your dog is doing as there are no webcams or tours. There are no messaging updates about how your pup is doing until several hours after you have picked them up. Also, they accept drop-offs with no reservations, so exactly how many dogs are in the facility? My mini poodle went for a half day daycare prior to boarding to get her used to the place. When I picked her up she was in a full blown state of panic, with heavy panting that did not subside. We ended up at our vet to make sure there wasn't some injury. They were so uncomfortable with her relentless panting that they advised going to emergency. She go x-rays and blood work and showed as healthy. But the panting went on for several hours and finally she was diagnosed with a stress response to the daycare. No one ever called to say my dog is in distress and should be taken home. When I asked about her day I was told she was anxious and should come more often to get over it! The picture sent to me later that evening showed a stressed out dog that apparently went on all day. My dog has been to several daycares without an issue and I only tried Bark City because I thought it wold be nice for her to be outdoors instead of in a warehouse. I would not advise going here especially if you have a more sensitive pup. I am now stuck with $1200 in vet bills and a traumatized dog.

    Bark city is just the best! We've been using them for a couple of years for both doggy daycare and occasional boarding but I'm leaving this review because they also do amazing baths/grooms!! First time I did it out of convenience, at the end of a boarding stay, but over time I realized how much better he looked and smelled after his bark city bath/tidy! They are really the best and you can tell the staff really cares.

    Best dog daycare around. Friendly staff, convenient, and great prices. Give them a try your fur babies will thank you!

    Fun time at Bark City!

    Winston loved it so much, he didn't want to leave! He came home exhausted and content. We can't wait until his next visit. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him!

    Look how happy she looks this is the one of the pictures that they took at Barkcityhb HB. She sure looks happy thank you so much again.

    I was so impressed yesterday taking my blue Merle one and a half year-old Pomeranian to Barkcityhb HB. The staff was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. They took such good care of Willow . They took the most beautiful pictures. The place is wonderful with a large backyard for playing in another place for wadding pool. She got along with the doggies and came home tired and happy thanks again for being so kind to our little girl and accepting her. We will definitely be using you for many years to come. I recommend you to everybody I know and anybody I can let know what a great places is to bring your pets for day care or for boarding also, one thing that I really liked was the strictness of what you required for each dog as far as flea medicine, a fecal test to check for parasites and all the vaccines that are needed that made me feel very secure that she was around very good dogs and not get sick like she has before at other daycare!! 5Star definitely.

    This review is way overdue!!!! I've been taking my dogs to Bark City for over two years now, and they have never let me down. They're incredibly accommodating, whether it's daycare, boarding, or a last-minute schedule change. Their communication is always top-notch, and I always feel in the loop about how my dogs are doing. Today my 2 dogs had a spa day, and they sent me the cutest photos, seriously, it made my whole day!!They take such great care of every dog that walks through their doors, and you can tell they truly love what they do. Bark City is the gold standard for dog daycare and boarding. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their furry family!

    "Simply the Best--Better Than All the Rest"! -Tina Turner Bark City in Huntington Beach is, without a doubt, "simply the best, better than all the rest" when it comes to caring for our furry family member. This incredible team has been a true lifeline for our family, supporting us through one of the most challenging times of our lives--a life-threatening health battle. During those 3 AM or 4 AM hospital runs, Bark City was there without hesitation, providing love and care for our sweet Ginger like she was one of their own. For Ginger, Bark City is more than just a daycare--it's her second home. The staff is beyond extraordinary, with warmth, kindness, and an unmatched dedication that you just don't find anywhere else. There are truly no words that do justice to the greatness of this place. While we can't make it 3-5 days a week like we used to, every single visit feels like coming back to family. From the welcome smiles and heartfelt hellos to the excited pup I drop off and the wonderfully tired one I pick up, Bark City delivers every single time. Thank you, Bark City, for being a "legend" in pet care. As Tina Turner says --"better than anyone, anyone I ever met!" Ginger and our family are endlessly grateful for all that you do.

    We have two great danes . They have been going to Bark City for almost 7 years. Bark City has cared for them like they were their own dogs . Each time they visit ( once / week) we get photos during the day of them playing. The two dogs come home happy and tired from a full day of being dogs doing dog things. They love Bark City . We have also boarded the dogs at Bark City for up to a week when we went on vacation. Thank you Bark City !!!

    First time boarding my pup, Milo, and I can tell he had such a great time here. He's knocked out when we arrived home from all the playtime he had at Bark City. This place is a gem!

    I can't say enough great things about Bark City. My dog is everything to me and I don't trust anyone but Bark City to watch him overnight. He's 4 1/2 now and he's been boarding there since he was a puppy. I've boarded him for more than two weeks and was never even nervous about it because I know how well they take care of him!

This seems to be the trend in the industry. Small independent vets getting purchased by the big guys. Next comes the push for profits, the needless upselling and the complete loss of confidence that the vet acts in your best interest. My dog injured himself during play time. A CCL injury (similar to an ACL in humans), the most common in dogs and cats. I brought him in and met with Veronica Botros. She never touched my dog. Just heard about the symptoms and immediately ordered a full blood panel and X-rays. Stated that surgery was probably needed and the blood panel was necessary to see if the anti-inflammatory and pain meds would be a problem on his stomach. I was also talked into a deep ear cleaning and a supposedly new two-phase vaccination. When I saw the costs for everything, I pushed back. All of a sudden, they dropped the price of the blood panel by only screening for what was needed in the first place. Total upselling garbage. My dog is suffering and they are padding the bill. I was there for three hours. I finally got a bill for $900 and was told that someone would view the X-rays and get back to me. A day later, they emailed stating his CCL was indeed torn and surgery was recommended. $4,900 estimate. My bullshit meter was in overdrive. She never touched him! We spent the next two weeks keeping the dog under limited movement and treating with the prescribed meds. He got better but was still favoring the leg. I went out and got a second opinion from my vet in Tustin that takes care of my cat. We have used him since we have some unique issues with the cat and this guy was highly recommended. When this vet saw my dog, he performed a cranial drawer test, something that AAA never performed. He said the ligament was "partially" torn and surgery was not recommended at this time. AAA recommended 6-8 weeks of 100% crate rest. Plus, another 6-8 weeks after surgery if we took that option. That would be pure torture for my little guy. The new vet says to slowly exercise with short slow walks and the same type of limited movement we have been doing. Surgery may still be needed down the road but this is a much more viable option for my family. I can no longer recommend AAA and refuse to go back there. Profits over patients.

We brought him in at 13 weeks to the EveryPup Program, where he is in a clean and disinfected facility with other safe and healthy pups and he gets training every day by Dave. Almost from day 1 we started noticing huge changes, and he matured so rapidly it's like we have a different dog! He is very calm, polite and attentive, and has been able to self-regulate so well. Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well. We also appreciated how fast and quickly they acted on our puppy swallowing something he shouldn't have, and immediately gave him some hydrogen peroxide to get him to throw it up, which saved us from extremely expensive and likely traumatic vet visits and possible surgery. Very grateful! Every day we pick up our puppy he is so happy from a day of playing and getting love from all the staff, and is tired and ready for some cuddles and naps when he gets home. The staff here are so caring and really love each dog, I trust them to take care of our puppy. Highly recommend!

Last year, we brought them frequently and always felt confident leaving them there. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the facility felt clean, and our dogs always seemed happy to be there. That's why it's so disappointing to see how much things have changed since the ownership transition. Since the change in ownership, we've noticed a significant decline in the overall experience. The staff no longer feels as friendly or approachable. While there are still a few kind employees, several team members come across as cold and unhelpful, making drop-off feel uncomfortable and even a bit intimidating. It no longer feels like the warm, welcoming environment it once was. We've also noticed the facility doesn't seem nearly as clean as it used to be. Our dogs consistently come home smelling strongly of urine after daycare. We occasionally check the live cameras throughout the day and frequently see urine sitting on the playroom floors for extended periods before being cleaned up. If messes in the common play areas are left unattended, it raises concerns about how often the kennels are being cleaned when the dogs are resting. Combined with the odor our dogs come home with, it has made us question the overall cleanliness of the facility. Another noticeable change is how little time our dogs now seem to spend in the play areas. We'll pay for a half-day of daycare, and by the time we pick them up, we're lucky if they've spent more than 30 minutes interacting with other dogs. The majority of their visit appears to be spent kenneled. We choose daycare because we want our dogs to have a safe, clean environment where they can socialize and play. If they're spending most of their visit in a kennel, it's difficult to justify paying for daycare when they could be comfortably resting at home in a cleaner environment for free. Customer service has also become frustrating. Recently, one of our dogs came home without his collar. We didn't realize it until we got home, so we called the facility and were told someone would call us back because they were too busy at the moment. We never received a callback. After calling several more times over the next few days without getting an answer, we ultimately had to drive to the facility ourselves just to ask about and retrieve the collar. Pickup has also become much slower than it used to be, often requiring a long wait before our dogs are brought out. We're genuinely disappointed because we loved this location for a long time and trusted the team with our pets. Unfortunately, since the ownership change, we've experienced a noticeable decline in cleanliness, customer service, and the overall level of care. We hope these concerns are taken seriously because we'd love to see this location return to the high standard that made us loyal customers in the first place.
