We have been using Best Friends for the past 15 years and have never had a bad experience. When we…read moreonly had 2 dogs we used them for both grooming and boarding. Our only groomer has been Megan. She takes the time to listen to how I want my dogs to be groomed and even my rescue maltese, who had been extremely abused, actually enjoys going there. Megan took extra care to become his friend and he and she have become good friends. The work areas are clean and without an odor. They have doggie day camp and there are cameras so you can see what is going on at all times. I also appreciate that every year they require proof of vaccinations which is not always the case with other places we had gone to in the past. They keep their boarding areas clean and we were not allowed to bring anything from home that could contain fleas or ticks. Their hours are great (drop off at 8:00 and pickup by 7:00) which was very appreciated when I was working. Even though they were finished by 1:00, it was never a problem if I picked them up at 6:00. I now have 5 dogs and would never hesitate to bring them. If I had only one suggestion, it would be some kind of loyalty club. They used to have one for boarding (not sure if they still do) but it would be wonderful for grooming. After 15 years, it would be nice to receive something back. Perhaps every 10th grooming is free.

I had to give myself some time before leaving this review because I wanted to be thoughtful and…read morethorough. We have been boarding our sweet girl with Musbro since she was a puppy. She was always excited to go when we pulled up and never hesitated when they came to take her from us. We always felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. A few weeks ago, we dropped her off on a Thursday for a 10-day stay. The following Tuesday, the owner called me to let me know that she was refusing to get up. He asked if she had recently been showing any stubbornness about going outside. He said she had eaten fine that morning but that he had noticed a decline in her energy. He told me he would keep a close eye on her and call me back with an update. About an hour later, he called again and said that her breathing appeared to be labored and that they recommended she be seen by a veterinarian. They offered to transport her to my vet, even though it was a 28-minute drive from Musbro. I called the vet to give them a heads-up, but after hearing about her symptoms, they recommended that she go straight to an emergency hospital. Once again, Musbro offered to take her wherever I wanted. I chose VEG in Nanuet because it was the closest option. The owner's daughter personally drove our girl there, gave me her personal number so I could reach her directly, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and stayed with her the whole time. Unfortunately, an emergency ultrasound revealed that she had a tumor on her spleen that had ruptured. Sadly, something like this can remain hidden until it's too late, and there was nothing that could be done. We were 14 hours away and would not have made it home in time. Knowing that she wasn't alone means more to us than I can put into words. If I couldn't be there with her at the end, I am so grateful that she had a familiar and caring face by her side. We are absolutely heartbroken to have lost our baby, but we are incredibly grateful for the love, compassion, and quick action Musbro showed our family. I am especially thankful that they recognized the change in her behavior so quickly, got her the care she needed, and helped prevent her from suffering any longer than necessary. I have always recommended Musbro to others, and I will continue to do so. I wouldn't think twice about trusting them in the future. They treated our girl like she was their own, and for that, we will always be grateful. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog when you can't be there, I cannot recommend Musbro highly enough. Knowing how they cared for our girl when we were 14 hours away is something our family will never forget.

Not only have I been a loyal customer…read morefor over ten years, but I was also a manager in the early days -- so I've seen firsthand the level of care, dedication, and passion that goes into every single dog's experience. My two pups, Billy and Bobbi, have been coming here since they were puppies, and they absolutely love it. The excitement they show when we pull into the parking lot is the purest sign of how happy they are to be there. Whether it's day care or boarding, I have total peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. The staff is phenomenal -- attentive, compassionate, and truly invested in every dog's well-being. The facility is always clean, safe, and full of enrichment. Over the years, I've watched Camp Bow Wow grow while never losing its warm, welcoming spirit. Ten years later, Camp Bow Wow still feels like home -- not just for Billy and Bobbi, but for me too. Thank you for a decade of care, fun, and unconditional love!

He keeps the big and small dogs separate, and he introduces the dogs very slowly to determine if they can tolerate group play. My dog always comes home tired and happy.

I appreciate he tells me how she does in day care. She has a lot of energy, and we've talked about giving her time outs when she needs to calm down. I really appreciate this individual attention and understanding.

The walkers that came to us were wonderful. They respected our home, rules, and always treated our dogs like they were their own. Aylin was normally assigned to our pups. She would always send us great photos and updates from her 30 minute walks/ playdates with the dogs. She took the time to figure out what worked best for our two. The dogs, or The Cheesies as she called them, were always thrilled to see her. Our dog, Reggie, also went to daycare at their facility for a few weeks, but because of his dog reactivity/ easy overstimulation, we decided that utilizing their walking service would be better for him. I loved that they picked him up from home for us. Their services really helped us out and made us not have to worry about how we would get him to and from the facility. Reggie also received a bath/ blowout at their facility and he came back smelling great.

Brought our dog here to be in a safe environment and in our second week we got a call from the staff about a "broken nail" and that we needed to pick him up because they couldn't stop the bleeding. We arrive to see there is a bandage on him, visibly defeated from whatever happened. The staff couldn't seem to explain what or how it happened. Which is suspect considering they're supposed to be watching. We took him to the vet anyway despite claims the staff made about an "onsite" vet who confirmed the nail story. Our (real) vet explained that this was much more serious than a BROKEN NAIL. He had a deep LACERATION on his paw that required surgery, stitches, 6-8 weeks medication with a bandage change required every 3-4 days until that point. The staff at the daycare (including the owner) lied to us about whatever really happened in an event to curb or downplay this disaster. The owner reached out but was unwilling to help in anyway with the Mountain of bills or even acknowledge that his staff was negligent. To this day we haven't seen the footage and have no idea how he got hurt. I will never go back. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH.
