I am really sad that this was our experience with AKM Kennels. This is NOT how you are supposed to…read morepick up your dogs from boarding. I picked up my senior pug with this severe wound two days ago. I paid for the upgraded boarding that had the camera monitoring option and asked that our dog only be with his companion and no other dogs. I had no missed calls, voice mails or emails that my dog was injured under their care. I picked him up like this a day early which is when i found out, right before pick up. They put a stop bleed powder on him to stop the bleeding while I was there. They said they don't know what happened and the incident was not recorded on camera. I took him to the vet here in town and they confirmed it is a puncture wound with significant bruising all around. I chose them because they had amazing reviews online, everywhere. But, this has just been really horrific for us. I'm sure this type of injury hurt my dog. I now have vet bills and meds for my senior pug because of this. I only got an automated email the day after thanking me for choosing them. They have yet to even reach out to ask how he was when we left. I wish I never took my pug here. What a terrible experience.

Update in response to the owner's comment on my Google review:…read more I've attached my veterinarian's records to support my claim. From the assessment: "Given clinical signs and history, suspect recurrent aspiration pneumonia, possibly secondary to vomiting (gastroenteritis, infectious/inflamm/toxin) or concurrent upper respiratory infection" "Has a history of bronchopneumonia after boarding at the same facility in June." This is directly from VCA Tanglewood Animal Hospital. Please see the attached photo of the record for full context. - This is the second time our dog is dangerously sick after visiting this daycare. The first time, we were genuinely concerned -- he was lethargic, vomiting bile, had severe diarrhea, and wouldn't eat. When we called the owner, we were told he probably just needed to "sleep it off", "take him to the vet if you want to waste money", and that he wasn't used to that much play. We trusted that explanation, thinking maybe he was just overwhelmed. We still spent the money to get him checked out. He ended up needing antibiotics and several days of care, and the vet told us that if we'd waited any longer, he would've needed extreme intervention. We still thought it wasn't the daycare's fault. This week, after just 8 hours back at the same daycare, he had the exact same symptoms. The vet concluded that was no coincidence. Whether it's poor sanitation, exposure to illness, or something else -- the odds are this facility made our dog sick. It's not worth the risk to your dog's life or the medical bills. We're devastated, and we wouldn't want anyone else to go through this.

(i left a google review as well and was met with the owner telling me i was making "false" and…read more"misleading" claims which doesn't answer any of my intial concerns about the facility at all. i have two working eyes and i'm not gonna be told i'm lying. when i literally saw the shock collars charging in their large kennel room, and i had smelled unmistakable chemicals on my dog.) Picked up my pup from here after daycare and immediately noticed some red flags, the use of shock collars without notifying the owners is very sketchy and unethical. I don't know if they used it on my dog personally because obviously I wasn't there, but I noticed an array of them, I don't know why they would need so many if they weren't using it on customers dogs as well, if they want to use them on their own dogs power to them, but to put them on other peoples animals without consent is very questionable... not to mention my dog came home disgusting and covered in dirt, also smelt slightly of a chemical (?). I read another review where this also had happened to their pet and this seems to be a reoccurring issue. I'm not sure how they disinfect the facility but it's obviously not safe like the owner claims. I will not be bringing my dog back here as I left feeling like things were being hidden from me, which is absolutely unacceptable and really shows how much they care about these animals.

Can I give them ten stars?! I won't lie, part of me kind of doesn't want to write this or say…read moreanything because I don't want to have to fight for my baby to have a great place to stay, but also as a truly psycho pet parent...I know, I'll own it... this place made my heart so happy. This was my third or fourth (can't even remember the others were so traumatizing) doggy daycare to visit. This is the only one that didn't instantly hit me in the face with the smell of urine or wet dog...eww. Also, this one has amazing staff members that actually seem happy in their jobs, not just hating their lives and overwhelmed by dogs. BHV takes a completely different approach to daycare than the others I saw. They keep the dogs in play groups of no more than 8-10 dogs. Others literally got as high as 40! I had a baby anxiety attack just watching it on the monitors. They let the play groups go outside and run around for around 20 minutes and play really hard, then that group goes back to their individual dog set up, which is NOT a crate! It's this precious little white picket fence area where the fence is 4-5 feet tall...pending height of the animals (they have a room for big dogs and a room for small dogs). You bring your baby's bed, stuffed toys, snacks, whatever they need, they provide water bowls, food bowls, etc. There is a big screen TV in all of the rooms where your dog will be resting for some background noise so that they aren't freaked out by every new sound. If you use the normal space with the picket fences, your babies can still see their friends "across the way" so they know they're not alone. During the approximately 1 hr to 1.5 hrs that your dog will be in the white picket fence area resting, there is one staff member coming around a few times to let each dog out to run down the hall and say "hi" to all of it's friends and get a little energy out, if it wants. You can also actually board your animal here over night...they have many levels of quite nice spaces (a couple suites are nicer than my bedroom LOL). This review is not about that, as we only use them for daycare. My dog and others that I've witnessed get so excited when pulling into the parking lot. Drop offs have become "mom, get outta my way, love you bye, I have friends to see". They post pics of the dogs throughout the day on social media so you can see your baby having fun. My husband and I have quickly fallen in love with this place, the lovely "hoos" that run it and even the fellow parents. It just seems like everyone loves being a part of this place. I have zero guilt about leaving my kid here, as I know she is having tons of fun and comes home a tired baby.

I can't say enough good things about BHV TOO!

The facility is clean, spacious, and filled with fun activities that keep our pups happy and engaged throughout the day. We love seeing the photos they post on Facebook.

Well, I can't believe I haven't written a review yet - but better late than never! My dog, Jet, has…read morebeen coming to Bark & Zoom for 7 years, practically since they opened, and we couldn't be happier. There are so many positives to highlight. First, I really appreciate the rotating play and rest schedule that Taurus/Bark & Zoom uses, which differs from other facilities in the area. It's been a fantastic fit for Jet, especially when he was younger and would be tired but had a bit of FOMO when other dogs were playing and wouldn't know when to rest. At other facilities without this structure, he'd end up overtired and overstimulated from hours of endless play with 25 other dogs and poor trainer/dog ratios leaving minimal staff supervision. Bark & Zoom's approach (focus on temperament and smaller groups) has been a much better fit and Jet has thrived in this environment comparatively. The staff here has always been wonderful and so loving toward Jet as well. Years ago, there was a team gathering at Yardbar where Jet ran right up to the staff, thrilled to see them, and they immediately recognized and showered him with affection. Interactions like this validate the level of positive care he receives across several services including board-and-train, daycare, or boarding. Aside from great care, the convenience of their 24-hour model right by the airport is seriously unbeatable. As someone in the aviation industry, the flexibility to drop off and pick up at unconventional hours has been a lifesaver. I'm so grateful to Bark & Zoom for accommodating my unpredictable schedule time and time again throughout all of these years. This past year has been challenging as Jet battles lymphoma. He's experienced multiple remissions and relapses, and as he slows down and needs more care, the staff has been wonderfully supportive, bringing comfort to me on days when I can't be with him. There are SO many wonderful people here, but I'd like to give a special shoutout to Jess and Mackenzie. They've known Jet since before their well-deserved promotions and have always treated him like family. I appreciate y'all (and everyone) so much!

I simply can't express my gratitude and love for this group of people; I life would spin off its axis without them! And I must add, who doesn't love getting photos and report cards about their pups while you're out of town!?! They truly care, and it shows! Thank you B&Z team, for all you do!
