Something is not right with the daycare experience here. There is no way to see how your dog is doing as there are no webcams or tours. There are no messaging updates about how your pup is doing until several hours after you have picked them up. Also, they accept drop-offs with no reservations, so exactly how many dogs are in the facility? My mini poodle went for a half day daycare prior to boarding to get her used to the place. When I picked her up she was in a full blown state of panic, with heavy panting that did not subside. We ended up at our vet to make sure there wasn't some injury. They were so uncomfortable with her relentless panting that they advised going to emergency. She go x-rays and blood work and showed as healthy. But the panting went on for several hours and finally she was diagnosed with a stress response to the daycare. No one ever called to say my dog is in distress and should be taken home. When I asked about her day I was told she was anxious and should come more often to get over it! The picture sent to me later that evening showed a stressed out dog that apparently went on all day. My dog has been to several daycares without an issue and I only tried Bark City because I thought it wold be nice for her to be outdoors instead of in a warehouse. I would not advise going here especially if you have a more sensitive pup. I am now stuck with $1200 in vet bills and a traumatized dog.

Best dog daycare around. Friendly staff, convenient, and great prices. Give them a try your fur babies will thank you!

Fresh bath and Tidy

Bark city is just the best! We've been using them for a couple of years for both doggy daycare and occasional boarding but I'm leaving this review because they also do amazing baths/grooms!! First time I did it out of convenience, at the end of a boarding stay, but over time I realized how much better he looked and smelled after his bark city bath/tidy! They are really the best and you can tell the staff really cares.

Fun time at Bark City!

Winston loved it so much, he didn't want to leave! He came home exhausted and content. We can't wait until his next visit. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him!

This review is way overdue!!!! I've been taking my dogs to Bark City for over two years now, and they have never let me down. They're incredibly accommodating, whether it's daycare, boarding, or a last-minute schedule change. Their communication is always top-notch, and I always feel in the loop about how my dogs are doing. Today my 2 dogs had a spa day, and they sent me the cutest photos, seriously, it made my whole day!!They take such great care of every dog that walks through their doors, and you can tell they truly love what they do. Bark City is the gold standard for dog daycare and boarding. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their furry family!

"Simply the Best--Better Than All the Rest"! -Tina Turner Bark City in Huntington Beach is, without a doubt, "simply the best, better than all the rest" when it comes to caring for our furry family member. This incredible team has been a true lifeline for our family, supporting us through one of the most challenging times of our lives--a life-threatening health battle. During those 3 AM or 4 AM hospital runs, Bark City was there without hesitation, providing love and care for our sweet Ginger like she was one of their own. For Ginger, Bark City is more than just a daycare--it's her second home. The staff is beyond extraordinary, with warmth, kindness, and an unmatched dedication that you just don't find anywhere else. There are truly no words that do justice to the greatness of this place. While we can't make it 3-5 days a week like we used to, every single visit feels like coming back to family. From the welcome smiles and heartfelt hellos to the excited pup I drop off and the wonderfully tired one I pick up, Bark City delivers every single time. Thank you, Bark City, for being a "legend" in pet care. As Tina Turner says --"better than anyone, anyone I ever met!" Ginger and our family are endlessly grateful for all that you do.

Bark City is top-notch! My dog moose loves it there ! He body wags all the way out the car up to the door

Look how happy she looks this is the one of the pictures that they took at Barkcityhb HB. She sure looks happy thank you so much again.

I was so impressed yesterday taking my blue Merle one and a half year-old Pomeranian to Barkcityhb HB. The staff was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. They took such good care of Willow . They took the most beautiful pictures. The place is wonderful with a large backyard for playing in another place for wadding pool. She got along with the doggies and came home tired and happy thanks again for being so kind to our little girl and accepting her. We will definitely be using you for many years to come. I recommend you to everybody I know and anybody I can let know what a great places is to bring your pets for day care or for boarding also, one thing that I really liked was the strictness of what you required for each dog as far as flea medicine, a fecal test to check for parasites and all the vaccines that are needed that made me feel very secure that she was around very good dogs and not get sick like she has before at other daycare!! 5Star definitely.

Louie and Charlie .

We have two great danes . They have been going to Bark City for almost 7 years. Bark City has cared for them like they were their own dogs . Each time they visit ( once / week) we get photos during the day of them playing. The two dogs come home happy and tired from a full day of being dogs doing dog things. They love Bark City . We have also boarded the dogs at Bark City for up to a week when we went on vacation. Thank you Bark City !!!

First time boarding my pup, Milo, and I can tell he had such a great time here. He's knocked out when we arrived home from all the playtime he had at Bark City. This place is a gem!

Spooky is a high energy puppy who loves everyone and bringing him to daycare let's him achieve his puppy dreams! A few things I love about this location: -Live video feed I love that I can watch him while I'm working or away for the day. -Safety He can be a handful so I appreciate that the staff is constantly checking on him if he's starting to do parkour or have the extreme zoomies. I feel safe knowing the staff is confident in doggy behavior. He's energetic not aggressive -TLC The staff truly care about the well-being of our dogs I have had the staff call me on very sunny days and ask if they can put sunblock on Spooky because he does get sunburnt/pink. Those little things are what us dog parents would do for our dogs and the staff is already looking out for them. A little bonus that I appreciate as well is the offer to dry your dog before leaving if your dog was playing in the pool. To sum it up I feel like it's very hard to find a doggy daycare that I feel safe leaving my dog at especially with Spooky's breed. A lot of daycare's don't except Pitbulls or Staffys. I love that Spooky is welcomed with open arms here. Thank you guys for taking care of Spooky

He did love the doggy daycare but when I picked him up from Bone Adventure Boarding where he stayed two nights on Sunday evening my dog was very ill. He got two ear infections, paws red itchy, and bloody. He seemed traumatized and very ill. I took him to the vet and they had put him on antibiotics, they gave him steroids and allergy shots and it's still 16 days after and his paws are not healed and my puppy is getting worse and lots and lots of vet bills. It is worth it to pay for a dog sitter.

We brought him in at 13 weeks to the EveryPup Program, where he is in a clean and disinfected facility with other safe and healthy pups and he gets training every day by Dave. Almost from day 1 we started noticing huge changes, and he matured so rapidly it's like we have a different dog! He is very calm, polite and attentive, and has been able to self-regulate so well. Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well. We also appreciated how fast and quickly they acted on our puppy swallowing something he shouldn't have, and immediately gave him some hydrogen peroxide to get him to throw it up, which saved us from extremely expensive and likely traumatic vet visits and possible surgery. Very grateful! Every day we pick up our puppy he is so happy from a day of playing and getting love from all the staff, and is tired and ready for some cuddles and naps when he gets home. The staff here are so caring and really love each dog, I trust them to take care of our puppy. Highly recommend!

I used to have no issues with Paw Sweet Paw years ago but after just brining my 1yr old rescue here twice that was enough. First time he was return smelling awful, accidents happen. Second time boarding with them (12 hours) he was returned to me COVERED in both pee and actual poop on him. Before he was return the second time, the staff told me he had a "little accident" and asked if I wanted him bathed or just wiped down. After already waiting an extra 1.5 hours because of the cut operational hours, I said just wiped down him down and I'll bath him later. It was clearly not a little accident and wasn't even wiped down. The attendant brought him out less than a minute later. Wiping down a dirty, poop covered dog would take longer than one minute. The extent of the odor took 3 baths and he is now dealing with multiple stomach issues results in vomiting and diarrhea. He also was returned with a clearly visible scab and swelling on his nose. Trying to contact management has been extremely disappointing after a very disappointing 12 hr dog boarding visit. The asst. manager seemed to be the only one to take the time to respond and discuss these issues, but very limited to how she can remedy or alleviate some of these issues. I have been waiting for a week now on Janelle, the top Manager of both locations to reach out with fur to we discussions about the incredibly low standards, cleanliness, and overall care for our pets staying there. Seems like Janelle couldn't care less for the well-being of the dogs she is being entrusted to take care of while she is the one in charge from what I've been told.
