Looking for a place to have your precious pets watched while your gone. We were too. If your in…read moreKaimuki or somewhere on the east side this may just work for you. We just had a short trip outerisland, but couldn't bring our fir babies. Usually the parents or a friend can watch out pups, but not this time around. We called around and found it very challenging, almost like sending a toddler to daycare for the first time, they need vet records and a company to vouch that your pup isn't crazy and dangerous to others. We called these folks and they were very friendly and made it as easier to request vet records and willing to do trial run overnight to see how our dogs would do. We drove down and it's a little confusing to find, but basically aim for Salz Lock and Safe, pull into their parking and continue to the chain link fence and you'll see it mountain side. We met the couple that takes care of the fur babies. They were very welcoming and most importantly our dogs sixth sense accepted them right away. Their tails kept wagging, which made us feel better. Our dogs actually shake when we go to the vet and tail down, between the legs. We provided food for the morning, leashes and harness and that's it. They recommended not bring the beds because other dogs might mark them, since it's not a kennel environment. They can walk freely in the rooms and act like they do at home. We left them overnight and we're ready for a phone call, but no complaints came. Then in the morning we went to pick them up. On arrival the couple were still their smiling with our pups. Our dogs seemed happy with their tails wagging. They reported back to us how the dogs did and everything went well. I would recommend Barks and Purrs, because they genuinely seem to care for our dogs. Our dogs were happy and we felt safe to have them watched there.

Can't ask for a better location, just drop off your baby, and you can access the highway nearby heading either east or west. Richard is fantastic, very knowledgeable and he has such a way with animals. My little pupster gets super excited when we get there and now when I say "doggie daycare" he starts running around in circles and heads to the car, ready to go. He always looks forward to going to visit Richard and his furry friends. He comes home absolutely wore out. He wolfs down his dinner and then sprawls out on the floor to sleep. Richard is flexible with scheduling and very responsive and communicative. They also offer bathing services on site which you can avail yourself to while your fur baby stays in their care. I send my pup 2 days a week so that he gets much needed socialization and I get peace of mind knowing he's in capable hands.

They both have very thick coats, and needed a lot of love on their fur. They have completely made my dogs look so fresh and clean, from a bunch of knots and tangles, to the softest, most pawfect coats. I can tell my doggies feel more comfortable and were so happy when they were home. It was so cute how they even were goofy with putting wigs on my dogs at the end. So cute and I appreciate how understanding they were on the help I needed. I will be coming back again, it's not easy to find a place that does well with such big furry babies and happy with the results. Thank you thank you thank you live love pets!!!

Even though we don't own a pet, we have friends who do and became curious about the shop through a local YouTube vlogger. What makes it unique is that it's a gay-owned business. As I accurately surmised, they offer locally sourced pet food and treats and specialty accessories in a friendly and inclusive space. Some of the treats looked appetizing enough for human consumption like ahi tuna jerky and dried duck necks (Photo 7). Of course there were Spam musubi squeaker toys and a variety of leashes in a multitude of colors (Photo 2). They even offered merch for non-pet owners like us. While I sadly bypassed the "Heated Rivalry" stickers (Photo 10), I couldn't help but get the rainbow toothbrushes (Photo 9). Wouldn't you? No surprise the staff was a kick.

They scheduled my 14 year old cat for a same day appointment and we couldn't have been happier with…read morethe care Dr. Sin provided. My cat had intermittently been showing signs of pain for a couple weeks (refusing food and hiding). We'd been in contact with her regular vet and had a couple appointments, but were still in the stage of monitoring her due to her symptoms being sporadic. On Thursday, she refused both her meals. We got her scheduled for bloodwork with her regular vet for the following Monday. By Friday she was still refusing to eat/drink, and was hiding and refusing to be pet, whereas she's normally very affectionate. Being concerned about her lack of fluid intake and the escalation of her symptoms, I called Kaimuki Veterinary Urgent Care and got an appointment the same day. Dr. Sin did an exam, and had an in-depth conversation with us about the broad range of possible causes for her symptoms. It was clear Dr. Sin fully reviewed my cat's medical history, and took her regular vet's previous notes into account when speaking with us. They ended up drawing the labs that her regular vet was planning to draw the next week, which allowed us to get the results 3 days earlier than we would have! In the meantime she provided a subcutaneous fluid injection to help with our kitty's hydration, and an injected antibiotic. They also sent us home with a pain medication for her. Between the fluid injection and the pain medicine, she was acting more like herself that same night, and she ate her full dinner. They promptly sent the medical records back to her usual vet, who informed us that the labs showed signs of kidney disease, as well as pancreatitis. We're starting her on a special diet for her kidney disease, but regular vet credited Dr. Sin by saying that the antibiotic injection she gave likely already took care of the pancreatitis. Dr. Sin and her team were very compassionate, and Dr. Sin especially was very efficient at communicating her clinical thought process. They also provided itemized price estimates before rendering services. I compared the estimates to the ones from my regular vet, and the prices were roughly the same! Unexpected vet visits and bills are scary, but the team here was open and transparent about the whole process, which really put our minds at ease. Thank you for everything!

Meh! We were expecting a lot more…read more The vet was nice enough, the front office staff was nice enough and it was clean. We boarded out pets after an exam that was thorough and fine. BUT when we got our pups back they seemed a little off. I didn't mention anything to my hubby as I thought maybe I was reading them wrong, but then he asked me if they seemed weird, like sheepish and a little scared. We couldn't really pinpoint anything, but since they have experience boarding, and it was only for 2 nights, we decided that it must have been something at the kennel- maybe the weren't comfortable- too cold or hot or ?? - it wasn't a good fit. I don't like messing with people's businesses and not saying they did anything wrong per se, but if you are a crazy dog mom like me, you know when something is off. We have not been back since.

Paula not only trains her directly but spends time with us as the owners, explaining the "why". She is against using e-collars which thank goodness we never tried and contacted her instead. She focuses on the individual dog's history and personality and living environment and really tailors her training to your dog. She has a firm but kind approach which we love. We have already implemented her easy to follow and remember instructions during the week and see a difference! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Paula! If you love your dog as much as we do, and your dog could use training, the absolute best thing you can do for them and your relationship with them is to have Paula come in and help! Mahalo Paula!
