My husband and I travel pretty frequently and have been using Fur babies for boarding and grooming for the past 3-4 years. My dog gets excited when we pull into the parking lot and does not even want to say bye to me once we are inside. I love that I never have to feel bad about leaving him because he genuinely enjoys being there. read more

Look no further! This is the absolute best place for your fur baby. My little guy goes for his grooming and for vacation stays. They are extremely accommodating, reasonably priced and do a fantastic job with my boy. I can't even say "beauty parlor" or "vacation" until right before I bring him because he goes crazy begging to go see them! I have had other groomers whom I will not mention that do a "fair" job, but no one stacks up against Fur-Babies Playpen!! They have earned my trust and will keep my business! read more

I have two fur children, My boyfriend called fur babies on wednesday morning right before a holiday week due to unforeseen plans changing. They were very accommodating when we came and saw the master suite with the nice dog bed in it. When i returned about two hours later the older woman had no idea about my reservation etc. I also explained to her that i was a vet tech/surgical technician ( was boarding due to my work not having boarding) after i explained things a few times (ok its loud and distracting) I left. I called thursday no answer called back a few hours later. She said my one fur children had some diarrhea and they gave her something for it. ok well she told me the diarrhea had cleared up...... i didn't call back anymore due to having worked in the veterinary field for the last 10 years and one of my first jobs was in a kennel i know how it can be if an owner calls and calls and calls. Well today my boyfriend and i return to pick up our children ..... no dog bed in the room except the one i brought, women then explains my dog had diarrhea and had to be given medication, i said well i thought it had cleared up because that is what you told me over the phone. She then got an attitude with me saying she had to clean up the mess and the dog had it again. I am sorry but that is the name of the game when you own a boarding facility dogs get stress colitis and this was my bassets first time boarding. I feel some sort of communication should have been made besides the phone calls i had to make. You tell me the diarrhea had cleared up and then i get an attitude about it. The younger woman i dealt with was nice and friendly the older woman not so much. Not sure i will recommend them to anyone in the future. If you choose to board here make sure to call and check up on them I also left this review on Facebook. owner then accused me of bringing my dogs in sick etc. I can assure everyone as a veterinary technician I would never leave my animals somewhere while they were sick. also in reading all negative reviews here and fb the owners do nothing but argue back with you. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

I just left my 2 dogs for 4 days in the master suite. They both got groomed during their stay. (my husky got a de-shedding treatment and a bath and my shih Tzu got a summer cut both of which I liked) This place is very clean and nicely decorated. They sent me a few pictures during their stay just to let me know how they were doing. I would recommend this place if you have a spoiled furbaby! read more

We just had our dog groomed there today with great results. The building is very clean and cutely decorated. The owners were extremely nice, very polite and professional. They were able to groom our dog on short notice. Not only was our dog well groomed, he was as happy as can be! It was obvious that he was treated well. Can't say enough nice things about this place! read more

I brought my Maltese pup there to be groomed and explained to the groomer what cut I wanted and we both looked at pictures and agreed on the cut that would fit him best. When I returned to pick him up I was totally shocked, he was shaved to the skin even his ears were cut and lopsided ! I was really mad and could not believe what they had done to my dog and told the groomer and owner so ! Its been a week now and I can tell my dog is emotionally upset, he wont even go outside to play and acts different. The groomers name is Patricia, DONT EVER GET YOUR DOG GROOMED HERE !!! read more

TERRIBLE!!! Only rating 5 stars so people will read this and hopefully stay away. FLEA INFESTED, yet they try to claim it's your fault and that your pet should be on flea prevention.. And my pet is.. But it's still pretty disturbing to see SO many fleas crawling all over your dog while you wait for them to bite and die. They don't do daycare for large dogs, only for small dogs, and even that isn't daycare at all, a small indoor area where your pet is left unattended. They have no outdoor play yards at all and get a short walk in a field which is probably flea infested as well. The suites are cute but they take all the bedding out as soon as you leave your pet. The rest of the dogs board in a small room with wire kennels, no drainage system or anything, and judging by the smell, they clean w bleach. For a while I had no other choice in the Slidell area.. but now I found the Amazing Southern Pearl Veterinary/Playful Paws. Couldn't be happier to know my baby will never have to stay at Fur-Babies Play Pen again! read more
