I've been taking my dogs here for years and both their boarding and grooming are great! Shoutout to Leslie, she's amazing!

Our dog Doc Holliday has been coming to Fur and Feathers on Allen Rd since he was a puppy. They have always been extremely attentive to him and he loves going to see all his friends. read more

Thirteen years later, I'm still loving Fur and Feathers. Our beagle, June, spent many daycare days there in 2022-2023. As a young, active puppy, we didn't want to leave her home alone, and we wanted her to have plenty of interaction with other dogs. Not only is she exhausted when we pick her up, but the socialization has been incredible. Just like kids, dogs need socialization, and daycare at Fur and Feathers is perfect for that! I did deduct a star because I feel they've started to nickel-and-dime customers for extra services. Other pet resort includes amenities like webcams, themed party days, and photo opportunities as part of the price. I also wish they offered a subscription or bulk pre-purchase option at a discount. At nearly $500 a month for daycare, a small discount would have been appreciated. read more

Caution if you board your dogs at Fur & Feathers Pet Resort on Allen Road. There is an outbreak of kennel cough at their facility that they failed to disclose. Yesterday, I called to inform them that my dogs had contracted kennel cough during their stay on July 23-27. During that call, their employee, Austin, confirmed there was an outbreak at the time my dogs were boarded and stated he would inform the supervisor, who would return my call within the hour. I never received a call back. Today, after a vet appointment, I went to the facility in person. The supervisor claimed to have no knowledge of my phone call and denied that there was an outbreak during the time my dogs were there. This conflicting information, lack of communication, and failure to disclose critical health risks is unacceptable and demonstrates a serious lack of accountability. $150 vet bill Zero stars! read more

A few months ago, I boarded my two dogs at Fur & Feathers on Allen Road for an overnight stay. The admission criteria included required proof of current vaccinations. I provided the proof of vaccinations upon which my dogs were boarded. The next day, I picked them up during which I was given a bill to pay for a dose of vaccine given to my dogs after they had already received their vaccinations prior to the boarding. One staff member acknowledged that it was an oversight while the manager attempted her very best to blame shift contrary to the on file documented current vaccinations administered by a local veterinary office. Needless to say, but a cautionary tale, the malpractice of 1) failure to review the chart; 2) overdosing by two dogs; 3) the owner verbalizing uncertainty as to the potential risks/side effects warranted an escalation and filed complaint to the California State Department that oversees pet facilities. Pet owner: take heed before boarding with Fur and Feathers on Allen road in Bakersfield. read more

The fact that they don't clean brushes in between brushing dogs is unacceptable. I saw my dog being brushed with dirty brushes that had big clumps of other dog's hair in it as well as her ears being cleaned with a towel that was used to clean other dogs' ears. Disgusting. read more

Was charged for services not rendered. We presented for a grooming appointment at 1130am today. My daughter was asked if there was an appointment, she provided the last name and dog name - she was then welcomed and immediately taken to the back for a bath at the scheduled time. After bringing our dog back out, she was then told they "could not find" the reservation and stated we must have been mistaken since we did not have the name of the groomer. They charged us over $80 for a bath and nail trimming, stating there was a rush fee because there was no appointment. Why acknowledge her like they had the appointment noted? Why not verify before rendering services in the event there was any change to the services and/or costs? To clarify - an appointment was made by telephone on 12/11/2025 at 1122am (they say calls are recorded, but they refused to check), we spoke with the female who answered the call (without identifying herself) for approximately 3 minutes to discuss what to expect, what was needed to be brought, services that would be included in the cost and the cost to expect. Both my daughter and myself attempted to discuss with staff to clarify but were dismissed that it was our error and nothing could be done. My daughter showed on her phone the number she called and the duration of the call. When I followed by phone, the staff member said my daughter did not provide that information and must have been mistaken since she didn't know the groomers name whom she spoke with. I asked if calls are recorded, go look - he ignored my request. We were also told customers could not be in the bath or grooming area but my daughter was. Further, it seems to be improper form to being charged for a fee that was not communicated and/or discussed prior to and obtain customer agreement. Had it been brought to her attention that they could not locate her appointment, she would have had the option to choose the services offered (and the alleged rush fee) or left. She wasn't given a choice. I feel that my daughter was taken advantage of and find that disappointing and poor form. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with Pam directly as this was not the way to address a customer while there or when attempting to get clarification on the phone with another staff member (who I had to ask for his name). read more

The staff seem nice enough, however, we left our dogs for four days and they seemed uncared for. I measured exactly enough food for each dog plus 1 extra cup just in case and when I picked up the dogs, the bags of their food were still over half full. Our dogs acted like they were starving. They also drank and drank and drank when we gave them water when we got home like they hadn't had enough water. I understand some dogs won't eat that much when they are boarding because of nerves, but they didn't mention anything to us and said everything went perfectly. Our dog's blankets and bed had to be thrown away as they were soaked in urine, which one of our dogs does have a nervous bladder but not more than a few drips when she has accidents and they told me they diapered her while she was there, which leads me to believe they weren't taken out often enough. And lastly, our dogs ended up with kennel cough. I will look for a house/dog sitter next time to make my life easier and to ensure my dogs are properly cared for. One last thing I would like to mention, they seem like they use to care about the animals so much more, they gave you a report card when you picked up your animal. read more

My dog Duke had his first day of daycare this week and groom all in one day and it was great! He seemed to have a good time there and Bobby did a FANTASTIC job at grooming my boy!! I am so happy I purchased the daycare package and cannot wait to bring him back!! read more

"play" area was littered with dog feces ad to he area is ridiculously small . Ask to see the area before dropping your dog off

Thank you Pamela S., Obviously owner of Fur and Feathers for your reply. I'd like to say a couple of things directly to you. 1) I did not come up with the term "surgical scalpel" on my own...the groomer who called me about the incident used the term. I had absolutely no idea that groomers would use such a tool. I happen to agree with you that they are not surgeons and should never use such tools on wiggly or calm puppies. At the end of the day I don't care what tool was used, but I would think that "6 groomers and 5 bathers" would most definitely know how to use the tools provided, correctly. 2) My puppy was indeed matted. Which is exactly why I brought her to a groomer in the first place. But to say that she was severely matted is grossly over exaggerated! I was not there when my husband dropped her off but I'm quite sure he did not say it was her first timed being groomed, but either way, it should not matter! As groomers, if a dog has "coat neglect" then you call the owners and explain the injury that could occur if the grooming continues, and only then should you continue! But to keep my puppy ("in poor condition and with the severe mats") and use a sharp tool to cut under her mats and cut her thin, fragile skin is just wrong! All-in-all I do not appreciate you implying, several times, that I neglect my dog. There was no "unattended goop left in her eyes for an extended amount of time." She was a happy and carefree puppy with nought a booger inside of her eye! Now maybe you thought I was speaking about the tear discharge/buildup around her eyes, but I'm sure an experienced groomer such as yourself knows that it is completely normal for shih tzus to have discharge around their eyes. We constantly clean her eyes and within hours it is back. As this is a forum for reviews, I left mine and I stand by it. Remember... I would not have had to leave such a crappy review if your staff had done a great job. I do not go and leave terrible reviews that are unwarranted. Since you obviously check your Yelp reviews, you've no doubt seen several mentions of peoples dogs being injured at your facility. I've looked at the way you go back and leave these replies on your reviews and while I think it's great to thank people that leave 5 stars, I believe it is harshly unprofessional to attack your bad reviewers. So let me reiterate...if your staff would do their jobs, you would have only 5 star reviews. So maybe instead of trolling reviews, you should have some on the job training with your employees to make sure that these "few and far between" instances cease. read more

My dog stayed in boarding there for about 10 days and he lost his voice when I got him back. No one mentioned anything when I picked him up and was told he did well. When I called to ask if he was barking excessively, I was told they did not know which dogs were barking at night as they could not tell. His voice is back now, but to know that he was barking so much that he lost is voice and was not well monitored is not good. He will not return. read more

We've dropped our dog off on the 4th of July for couple nights and we always hear about kennel cough there and welp my boy got it. Be careful once it's there it's hard to get rid of. read more

Been comin here for a few years. Today was my last trip. Took my lab for a simple nail trim, heard him yelping and walked in to see the two groomers jamming some kind of coagulant into his TWO nails that were bleeding profusely. He bled all the way home and now i have a shit ton of bloodstains on my upholstery. WTF!!! Not one but two nails??? I will be speaking with whomever is in charge tomorrow as im way too angry to be nice today. Zero stars for the two idiots who hurt my old man read more

This business has an interesting way to schedule grooming. If you call on a specific day you get that groomer who works that day and their schedule. If you are looking for another day, then you have to call back on the day you are looking to catch the groomer who works that specific day. If you are a potential first time client for grooming there is no way to know this. I know this is very much like calling a hair salon because individuals book clients. I've just never encountered this with dog grooming. Now just have to set a reminder to call on day I want to get a groomer who could possibly accommodate that day of the week or find another groomer who books multiple days. read more

Hands down the best boarding facility in Bakersfield! They are so welcoming. My Frenchie had the best time there, made lots of new friends, furry and human :), and I would 100% recommend this place! I was worried that he would be too much of a handful (he is an only frenchie child lol) but they all took to him and his energy right away. He came home happy and well cared for, (they even washed his bedding!) now I am excited to let him join their doggie daycare! read more

Love this place and love the staff! Called to ask about daycare and was invited to tour the facility. Was given a tour by a very kind young man, the place was clean, the animals all seemed very happy, the staff is very caring, and their prices are extremely fair for the high level of service. Have used them now several times and each time my dog is thrilled to drive up and sad to leave! Highly recommended!! read more

My fur baby Dexter absolutely loves loves to go play with his fwends! Well, thats what we tell him. When we put his collar on he knows exactly where he's going. Dexter plays all day. He also gets his nails trimmed while he's there. The staff is always great. We know that our fur baby is well taken care of just by the way he acts when we drop him off. He's always so happy whenever he sees staff member Gabby! If you need a place for your babies to stay while your on vacation or just for the day I highly recommend here! read more

This was my first time boarding here and the staff is amazing. Friendly and kind enough to put up with me coming everyday and sometimes twice a day. Other family members went for a visit as well. I will return for boarding if needed. The cat condo was spacious enough for my 3 cats and clean every time I went to visit. The hours are great and no extra up charges for feeding wet food. Lovely experience! read more

Bobby was really good at listening to our needs! She looked adorable! I read reviews that were not so good but I tend to form my own opinions! Thank you! read more

Thank you to all the staff & the genuine care they provide for my Daze! read more

Best cut my pet has ever had here in bakersfield. I took my dog in to be groomed by Tommy. The cut looks AMAZING. Still fluffy but trimmed and tamed. I've taken my him to 3 groomers attempting to find a good one. Everytime my poor baby came back lethargic, shaking, scared, and with the crappiest grooming. I even asked one place for a trim and they took all of his hair off, and hes a fluffy maltipoo. Another place left him with a cut on his skin. When my pup came home he was his normal energetic self. Which leads me to belie ve that Tommy is awesome at making pets feels comfortable and treats them with care when grooming them. He doesnt pull at them like others do. He also listens when you tell him what kind of cut you want. I highly reccomend this place after the other 3 we've been too. read more

My husband and I use Fur & Feathers for the grooming, babysitting, and boarding needs for our dog and sometimes our cat! The staff there is so friendly and communicative. I know our dog can be super hyper, but they treat him with great care and he's always super happy when we pick him up! Fur & Feathers is professional, clean, and provides us a stress free experience whenever we drop off our precious fur babies!! Highly recommend! read more

I was disappointed in the grooming my poodle received this last time he was there. He had been there several times before and only had a problem with some shaved areas on his body. Thought we had that taken care of, but this last time he was there he came home looking like someone other than a professional groomer cut his coat. He has been traumatized by the visit and has much discomfort with the shaved feet. I am sorry to say we will go back again. Doris S. read more

We've been taking both of our dogs here for several years now and this is the best pet boarding "resort" in town. I love the attention they give our dogs and how often they take them out to play. Our dogs are our babies and we don't trust them with just anyone. So glad that we have a reliable and safe place to take them where they are treated with love and kindness. read more

Took my corgi here for grooming recently. As it is also a boarding place, they do ask for vaccination records...which is a good thing. Just know ahead of time. This was her first experience going to the groomer so I was concerned about them leaving her there in a kennel for a long time before or after her service. I needn't have worried, they called me two hours later to say she was done. Plus they were super friendly and good with her. She was squeaky clean, nails trimmed and ready to roll. We will definitely use them again. read more

My wife called and left voice mail all week (she called during business hours)and they never would pick up. I was in the area this morning, around 7:30 and asked the girl at the counter if I can make an appointment to bring in one of my dogs and she said the groomer would be in at 9AM and he would be the one to talk to. I left my number and my wife's number for him to call so I can't make an appointment, He never called. I called All Paws on N. Chester and they were more then happy to have our business. (we use to take our dogs there, but have moved away from the area, they have all ways been accommodating) read more

This is THE place to take you dogs. The staff is so fantastic! Our 10 year old golden doodle, Cooper, grew up with his brother. Last year we had to put his brother down and Cooper changed. He went into a shell, was uncomfortable around other people and dogs. He didn't trust anyone outside my wife and I. He was truly grieving. We tried Fur & Feathers for daycare hoping it would reintroduce Cooper to a more normal experience for dogs. It did! The staff was kind and understanding, he got a lot of attention and love from them. He loves going to daycare. As soon as we approach the front door, he grabs his leash in his mouth and rushes to the dog entrance. We boarded him for a week and he did great! Now we have started using their grooming services. Groomer Bobby is great. Their prices are very reasonable and we have been very pleased with how Cooper has looked. This is such a great place. Great staff, excellent hours and a wonderful community resource for pet owners. Go! Please! read more
