Since Samantha from The Barkwood Inn decided to reply to my post with false information I felt…read morecompelled to reply with the accurate information. I DID NOT speak to anyone from Barkwood on Wednesday, I did send a message on Wednesday because my kids screen recorded the webcam all day on Tuesday and all day on Wednesday. For 2 days our dog was in his room all day long, morning to night. When I messaged the, informing them of this, they told me that Ike got out for a few minutes at 6:00am and then was out for "a few minutes" opposite of group time at 8:00am. They informed me that they have way too many dogs that need one on one attention and not enough staff members to give them all individualized attention. That is not my problem, I was told that my dog would be took out several times a day opposite of the group dogs as well as extra times that I paid for. I do not believe that taking my dog out at 6:00am and 8:00am and its very interesting that is the time that they claim he went out because I told them that my kids were screen recording from 9:00am on. Furthermore, it is VERY unacceptable that he was not given his medication twice a day, anyone can do the math and see that. Now I have to pay for more medication and additional treatment from the vet since they decided that they were "too busy" Also, throwing water on my dog before walking him out to the lobby is not a bath, just saying. Run dont walk from this place.

They've been going 2-3 times per year, from weekend stays to close to two weeks at at time. They also get their nails trimmed there on a regular basis. Every single experience has been outstanding. Literally every one. I have never questioned my decision to send them there. The facility is always spotless. The staff is friendly and you can tell they truly love the dogs. Someone is kind enough to take pictures and post them on FB pretty regularly which is awesome to see when you're away. My dogs come home clean, healthy and tired. I'd be devastated to take them anywhere else at this point.

The spacious outdoor areas are so much fun for the dogs to run and play. The staff really does their best to pair up the dogs with others who have similar temperaments. Our pup comes home exhausted, well fed, and happy! Southborough kennels does offer extra add on services like Pupsicles, baths, or bedding washes. (There are others but we've never utilized them). The ONLY complaint I have about Southborough Kennels is that they book up REALLY far in advance. Their booking system is all online and offers calendar dates several years out, so many customers just go in and book all the "Christmas Weeks" for the next five years. It makes getting a spot the hottest ticket in town! But clearly, that says something about Southborough Kennels! So I'll recommend, as long as you don't take my dates! ;)

I have used Southboro Kennels on a few separate occasions to board my dog, Sunny. This facility is…read moreincredible and you can tell that the staff takes great care of the dogs. It is by far my kennel of choice when planning to board him. Sunny is a timid boy who is overwhelmed by rambunctious dogs and can become withdrawn and shut down in unfamiliar spaces - the staff takes extra effort to provide him outside time with relaxed and calm dogs. They've sent videos of him in the yard with the others and I can see just how happy he is, running around just like he does at home. I see this as a testament to just how much he loves it at Southboro Kennels. I also like that the actual kennel spaces are separate enclosed runs with indoor and outdoor spaces, which can house one dog or a few dogs from the same pack. I feel that the dogs get more space and more freedom than at other kennels where they are confined to a single room and taken out periodically for bathroom breaks. I have referred a few other fellow dog owners here and they have all been impressed with the service at Southboro Kennels and in all cases have made this their boarding facility of choice (even traveling out from Boston to come here)! The one thing that I will say is that because Southboro Kennels is so well-loved by their clients that it can be difficult to reserve boarding for your pets , especially in the peak seasons (summer and winter holidays). I've called 2 months in advance to inquire and have been placed on a waitlist due to the kennel being fully booked, so keep this in mind when you are planning trips. and try and book out as early as you can!
