    This is the best boarding facility I have ever taken my beagle to. He loves the girls there, I know…read morethis because he doesn't even give me a backwards glance, he happily follows them into the back. The kennels are spacious. I pay for a few extra perks for my boy, like one or two nature walks a day. There's a play yard for supervised play with the other dogs. You can rest assured the other dogs are healthy, vet records showing up to date shots are required as well as a bordetella for kennel cough. I can go on vacation or just a weekend knowing he is not in a small kennel most of the day and is in good hands. I'd say $$ in general plus whatever extras you may want. I highly recommend

It was also nice to see dogs out for walks every time we visited whether for drop off or pick up. They offer a wonderful assortment of ways to 'keep in touch'. In addition to the extras we signed up for we appreciated their private FB page - it was fun seeing our dog in the action pics! We also appreciated the convenience of their texting line for their questions etc. Despite our dog's tendency to be timid / slow to warm up they met him where he was and made it a nice stay. He was not stressed at all after the experience and we easily picked up our normal routine when we got home. We would book again without any hesitation.

    As someone who has worked here and QUIT:…read more Employees were expected to handle large numbers of dogs under extremely stressful conditions, and I witnessed dogs being roughly handled and verbally mistreated. Dogs were called names (bitches) and spoken to in ways that I found completely unacceptable for a business whose entire reputation is supposed to revolve around caring for animals. When I was first hired, the staff did not give me the required safety and training video. From my experience, there was no apparent urgency to make sure I actually received or completed the training before being put to work. It came across to me as pure, unadulterated laziness and negligence. The treatment of employees was just as disturbing. We were not allowed to sit down, even during long periods of physically exhausting work. I eventually passed out on the concrete floor in the large-dog section. When I fell, my eyeglasses went into my face so hard that they left a visible indentation and caused bleeding. One of the moments that really shocked me was when I specifically asked what I was supposed to do if dogs got into a fight. I expected a clear answer or established safety procedure, especially in a workplace responsible for supervising groups of dogs. Instead, the response I received was essentially, "Shit, I don't know." That was extremely concerning to me. When you're responsible for multiple dogs in an environment where fights can happen, employees should know exactly what protocol to follow before an emergency occurs. Being met with "I don't know" when asking a basic safety question made me question how prepared the staff actually were to handle a serious incident. The incident was visible on camera, and a coworker's mother witnessed what happened through the camera footage. Despite the seriousness of what happened, I received no meaningful assistance. Instead, when I regained consciousness and attempted to get out of the pen on my own, the dogs got out. Rather than checking whether I was injured or making sure I was okay after literally passing out and hitting my face, the focus was on the dogs having "escaped." I was then told to take a ten-minute "break." The entire response made me feel as though they believed I was exaggerating or faking what had happened rather than dealing with an actual medical incident. The owner's retarded son was present during the incident and, in my experience, did nothing to assist me. There were also serious concerns about the way people were treated. I personally experienced and witnessed behavior that I considered racially insensitive and discriminatory, and I found the owner's conduct toward certain people deeply bigoted and unacceptable. These are not the values I would expect from a workplace or a business serving the public. I would strongly encourage anyone considering employment here or dropping off your animals, to ask detailed questions about employee and pet safety, breaks, incident procedures, and how both employees and animals are treated when nobody is watching. Additionally, Neil (if currently employed at this location) is in desperate need of some proper oral hygiene. Perhaps a trip to the orthodontist, or the use of this Listerine (the strongest I could find) that I've attached below. No one should have to deal with that torture in the workplace.

We've had our dog here on at least three occasions while on vacation. He has gotten kennel cough every time even though he's vaccinated. The second time we opted to have him shampooed before we picked him up since it was a new service they were offering at the time. He was not clean but had a strong doggy deodorant sprayed on him. We decided we wouldn't pay for that again. Also, from this visit, a trip to the vet was necessary as he was not getting better from the Kennel Cough and had to be on antibiotics. This last time was enough for me to bring me to the point of this review. We went to the counter to pick up our dog. After trying to upsell us on a higher price package for our next booked stay, the man behind the desk told us that "he (our dog) has gotten himself into some mud" and that he needed to hose him off so he may be a little wet. Ok, fine. We thought this was strange because he was in an indoor kennel, and if taken out to go to the bathroom, he should have been accompanied. But we anxiously waited to see our pup. He came out and seemed ok but was ready to get out of there. We were not prepared for the odor that emanated from him when we got into the car. It smelled like he had rolled in dog poop and urine for the several days he was there. We rolled down the windows and it was so bad my stomach turned. It took us three baths to get that smell off!! So my question here is, was he taken out to use the bathroom or left to do his business in the crate?! We paid for four potty breaks. Then later that afternoon, he pooped and there was blood in his stool! Ok maybe from stress, so we didn't worry too much. Then later that night from 2:30 - 9:30 AM, our poor pup vomited more times than I can count! He was so dehydrated that he was shaking with every inhale he took. Needless to say, we canceled the upcoming dates we had booked in advance with Besa. I'm sick to my stomach that we paid $300 to have our dog not well taken care of and come home sick. And there you have it...An honest review. If anything, I hope that the owners read this and take heed of what these pup parents have to deal with when they come home and begin to clean up their act.

We love Best Friends Fur Ever because of it being easy to make an appointment. Once you have gone through the initial enrolling process and gotten into their system, you fill in a request for service online and they contact you within 24 hours (usually it is closer to 12 hours). During stays, Best Friends Fur Ever have great communication. Sometimes they will upload pictures. They will reach out with any issues they have and respond quickly if you have any questions. The employees here clearly love dogs. No matter who the employee is, when we go to drop our dog off they get really excited to see our dog. He, in turn, gets excited to see them. We love that Best Friends Fur Ever will take care of grooming needs while we are away. If possible, they will trim nails, bathe them and express their anal glands. Finally, the biggest reason we choose Best Friends Fur Ever, is our dog always seems well taken care of when we return to get him. If he is happy, we are happy.

This place was just where he needed to be! I love how the staff are so attentive and welcoming during his play time. I felt safe because I was able to watch him from the camera. Beau (my dog) is usually exhausted after his visit. When booking, the client portal is very easy and efficient. The staff is very responsive and are very welcoming. You can feel the love from the staff and how they care for the clients and each other. I truly recommend boarding your dog at the Cockeysville location.
