I love how the front desk will ask how Frazier is feeling today, if he would like any treats or food, or a blanket/pillow at rest time. WOW! Such attention!! Once all records updated online, it is a easy breezy check in. The place is immaculate. I especially like how an attendant comes out to greet and bring your dog into the daycare. Our boxer goes in happily. If he didn't want to go, believe me, we would know! When we pick up our pup, he looks tired but well exercised and happy. The best is the report card given (which indicates he is being well looked after) and includes a special pup treat. I have had 2 summers of great experiences and I hope to have more!!!!!! In reference to some of the negative experiences I read, it is a shame they could not experience and enjoy what Lucky's has to offer. Personally, I do not think their daycare rate for half and full day is "pricey" AT ALL! I am from NY and the prices there are a bit higher. Specialty photos are offered and their price is a few $$ less than back home. Finally, regarding kennel cough complaints, it can happen in any environment when dogs are together. Especially when dog owners are careless to address the matter efficiently or wait the suggested 2 weeks after the last cough to re-enter their pup with others. IMO, I believe it is careless to blame a daycare AFTER they warn there was an outbreak. Or to point a finger when your pup stayed only one night in boarding. Symptoms of kennel cough typically appear within 3 to 10 days AFTER exposure, but can range from 2 days to 2 weeks. Lucky's Bed and Bisquit has proven they are a well operated, caring dog care. Unfortunately, cannot please everyone. But to "slam" the establishment foolishly is shameful.

My baby had an amazing time, and I couldn't be happier with the videos that were shared on…read moreFacebook. It was clear she was well cared for and had so much fun. However, after coming home from her overnight "sleepover," she developed a severe kennel cough. As much as I loved seeing how much my dog enjoyed her stay, her health always comes first. I hope Lucky's can strengthen its screening and illness policies to help reduce the risk of contagious dogs attending daycare or overnight stays. I understand illnesses can happen, but I believe taking extra precautions would help protect everyone's pets.

On Tuesday May 5, 2026, I took my cat in who just started suffering from FHS. Dr Carroll gave him…read moresome shots and Revolution. The next day he seemed a little better. On Thursday he was worse. I called the office asking for Dr Carroll to call me so I could know what my next steps should be. The girl said he'd be in later that afternoon. He never called. On Friday the girl called first thing in the morning and asked if he improved. I said no. She said Dr Carroll would call in between visits. I called again later in the day to see if he available and she was condescending saying he'll call when he can. They close at 6pm so I called at 5:50pm to make sure he didn't forget. She calmly said, unfortunately he left already!! My cat was so bad he came out from under the bed once but immediately ran back upstairs under the bed and had stayed there all day! I was furious! I was yelling! She was so condescending and just acted like a victim because I was yelling while never apologizing! I asked for the manager. I was put on hold for 10 minutes and she came back saying the manager left and the owner could call me the next day. I said obviously they don't give a **** about us and we will go elsewhere! I got wonderful help and care at Berkley Vet Center who were compassionate and caring. They didn't have an appointment available but referred me to Garden State Animal Hospital in Toms River. My boy Lou got excellent care and the treatment he needed, and he is doing great today with proper medication! In the future my new vet will be Berkley Vet Center. BTW, I had gone to Barnegat Animal for the last 20 years or so and had never been treated so poorly! Never again!

By the comments left here, people either loved or hated with no in between. Personally I would…read morerecommend this particular vet for a number of reasons. The first is they will prioritize the visit schedule and will not make you wait if you pet is on death's door. Some of the other reasons include a thorough and complete exam with options for treatment and concerns discussed along the way. We had an incident with our 10 year old cat and his chronic asthma who was turning blue and couldn't breathe. We called several local vets including one that was new to our area with no luck scheduling an appointment despite the graveness of the situation. Excuses ranged from "you haven't been here in 2 years to no appointments until late next week." Choices beyond Little Egg Harbor are few and far between. As a last resort, we searched google for Animal ER/hospitals and discovered Jersey Shore Veterinary and made the call. After listening to us the response was "bring him right over now". The cat does not travel well so going to Barnegat was a challenge but thankfully a little O2, steroid shot and some loving kindness from the doctor literally saved his life. I see some had bad experiences, passed judgement on staff's outward signs of immaturity, doctor's dismissing input from owners but that was as far from our experience as possible. Going forward, we used the vet several more times and never waited for an appointment more than 24 hours for routine care or an hour or less for urgent/emergency care. The best part they are interested in your animals health and not "upselling" unnecessary procedures and studies. As with most pet owners, the health of one's companion is priority #1 and this office shares that feeling with every pet that comes through their door.
