Such a wonderful place! Winnie's before and after was unbelievable. She came out of her grooming appointment so happy. We are excited to try daycare and boarding next. Desiree and the entire staff were sweet, professional, and truly caring. You can feel how much they love the animals there. read more

A few months ago my dog was viciously attacked by a large Rottweiler. It took this facility over an hour to finally get in contact with my mother that my dog was even attacked. They called her twice on a number that came up spam and did not leave any voicemail. On top of that, instead of bringing my dog to her vet, that was not far from Barrie's Inn, (the vet we listed in her paperwork) they brought her to some hole in a wall vet that knew nothing about my dogs health background or allergies. When I went back to ask how this happened they brought me to the play area and showed me the fence that they claimed at first "She jumped over" I told them my dog does not do that and they watched video and saw my dog open it herself with her nose. When I asked if the dog who attacked my dog has ever been aggressive they said yes and thats why She was separated from the other dogs. That information showed me they are so desperate for a dollar they will keep an animal there that can harm someone else's. The owner never reached out to us after this incident that could have been a tragedy. DO NOT SEND DOG HERE IF U WANT THEM BACK IN 1 PIECE. read more

Our energetic dog loves to come for the day or even for a few days stay. The staff here is wonderful and are really good and managing all types of dogs so they all have a good experience. All dogs are walked and cared for just like you would. They also offer grooming and training services. Ask for Desiree for training, she's amazing. read more

Happy dogs. I thinktjeytegret being home. They can't wait to go back. That's the staff. Attentive. Caring, and givening lots of pats and attenttion read more

We take our 80 lb husky-mix rescue, Lucy, to the Barrie Inn for doggie-day-care, boarding and training. Desiree is a spectacular trainer. She's not a "dog trainer", she's a PEOPLE trainer! The dog just does whatever she does, as a dog, but Desiree taught us how to understand and deal with a big, smart and sometimes sneaky dog in a loving & caring way. I'm sure we'll have more questions as our adventure continues, but we're glad Aunt Des is there to keep us on the right track with Lucy. read more

We have a 4 year old, 85 pound Labradoodle with a lot of energy. He has always been sweet, but impulsive. He would steal food off the counter, steal socks, and run after other dogs without listening. Ellen worked with him for two weeks at the Barrie Inn and then came to our home to work with us in his environment. We also went to the Barrie Inn and practiced training him with Ellen. All the work has paid off. He is so much better, but the rest is up to us. We need to be consistent with what Ellen taught us. We are so grateful to Ellen for all the care and patience she had for our dog and us. read more

I didn't know what to expect because this was our first time coming here but my experience was great! my kitten was perfectly and evenly trimmed and was returned with a little pink bow tie! our total was less than I expected. Definitely will be returning as a regular!! read more

The Barrie Inn - Nori after her fresh cut :D - Pet Groomers Near Me - Woodmere, New York

I've taken my dog to day care in the past here and he enjoys it. The review is specifically about the grooming services. I live in manhattan and actually only take my pups here. The price is great (lower than other groomers I've brought them to in the city) and they always come home looking incredible! The groomers follow instructions so well and they always put a little bandana on my guys that is on theme with the holidays/seasons I bring them in. Truly incredible grooms! read more

This place and the staff are amazing! I have two dogs, siblings. One was great with other dogs, the other - not so much. I was so nervous to send them for day care and overnights but a few months in and... well, all I can say is that both of my pups pull me through the doors to get in and they are both socializing like never imagined. I had my guys in dog parks since they had their shots and I was always in the middle of a "fight". Maybe I was too protective but Ellen and Russ listened, asked some questions and welcomed them in for a trial. They were confident and great trainers for what has been an amazing experience. I can't express my gratitude enough for all the help they have provided when I needed them most. I have a great sense of security sending them to day care and overnights - I know they're having a great time with the best supervision. Ellen and Evelyn run a tight ship and I am very grateful for the care they take in each and every soul! I highly recommend this place to all dog lovers - and the grooming of cats too :) read more

We have done it all at the Barrie Inn. Boarded, grooming, day care and park. High recommend! Our dog loves being in the their building and all the people who work there. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! terrible, careless place. Cut my dogs nail way too short and didn't even notify me. I paid 90 $ and they just hurt dog

I can't say enough about The Barrie Inn. I have been using them over the years for grooming of my 5 standard poodles and little cotton de tulear and always been very happy with the results. I loved them for grooming but I never needed them for anything else. Then my circumstances changed and I needed to board my immune compromised poodle. This dog had been left once before with someone who boarded in her home and he was gravely ill when I picked him up. I was very concerned about this fragile dog and how he would do being left again. My vet recommended speaking to Ellen, one of the owners of the Barrie Inn. Ellen was superb! She listened sympathetically to my fears and promised me she and her staff would pay very close attention to my dog's physical as well as emotional needs. She told me to call as often as I needed and they sent me pictures and videos to ease my mind. I came home to a healthy, happy dog! What more can I say! The Barrie Inn was truly a life saver! read more

The Barrie Inn and Fido Fitness Center is the best place to take your dog for day care, grooming and boarding! He was, and still is excited in the morning to go to daycare. I was very anxious about boarding him overnight and they assured me he would be fine. When I picked him up he was glad to see me but wanted to go back inside and play with his friends. We recently moved to Manhattan, but he still comes back to visit for day care and grooming. Every time we pull up he's so excited to be there! I know my little guy is safe and well-cared for. If I ever need to board him again, it will be with Ellen and her staff. They play with the dogs and show them love, just check out their Facebook and Instagram accounts! Their customer service is excellent! I still bring him for grooming and day care visits even though it is way out of the way. Big shout out from Herbie to Ellen, Evelyn, David, Desiree, Claire, Chase, Maria and the rest of the staff! He'll be seeing you soon. read more

This is without a doubt the best place to send your fur babies for grooming. I have been sending my Frosty (Siberian husky ) and Bronco ( French mastiff) for baths and grooming and they definitely provide a great service they know how to deal with big dogs. I love to see my babies coming back from there happy and clean..I highly recommended it. Staff is always professional polite and very helpful. They also offer a pick up and drop off service which works great with me since I have a toddler and it's hard for me to drive them all at the same time . read more

There are no words to describe how thankful i am for The Barrie Inn. My dogs Duke and Kasey (who are beyond attached to me) actually PULL me in by their leash whenever we arrive. That speaks a thousand words. The place is large, clean and the staff is plentiful--made up of all animal lovers who make it seem like this is truly where they want to be. They know and love each animal like its their own. All is tribute to owner Ellen, whom I have tremendous respect for! The Barrie Inn is a GEM. read more

As a new dog owner, I have a sweet puppy Remi. he is only 4 months and my long and unpredictable hours at work made me look into other options. My initial fear and anxiety of leaving him for whole days was erased when I first starting coming here in December. He loves it here and they love him back. This place is a very welcoming environment for your furry friend. Great, friendly staff and they always answer whatever questions I have. Glad to have a place Remi can grow I'm with other puppies and dogs. read more

Terrible. My dog was returned with dog feces covering her paws, thirsty, whining and totally out of sorts. I don't know if she had access to water or was walked while there. The staff was totally disorganized. read more

Thank You Gia & Co for taking such good are of Lukas + Lucy, my twins. We left for our trip to LA during the holiday weekend, our first time ever boarding, and we were worried, as our dogs were rescued and they are very skiddish. The Facility has a great staff, and I was made to feel very welcomed, and shown where the dogs would sleep and play, etc. We returned and our pups were very glad to see us, and very well looked after. Thanks again for your help, we'll be back. read more

#thebarrieinn #fidofitness pictured below you see my beautiful children and rest in peace apollo( black lab) and my youngest sons dog Roxy ( golden retriever) Besides our children these precious dogs have been RAISED in the Barrie Inn, trained as a service dog were she stayed for 6 weeks, ( by David) xo we have been there for over 15 years and reffered countless pet owners. The trust, knowledge and care that Owners and employees give are always above and beyond. I have witnessed first hand, customer being rude and employees just smile. David, has been part of my family since 2012 and awesome!!!My 21 year old son is studying international business and is now being trained at the BARRIE INN as a DOG TRAINER, why? Because he wants to!!! If there was any kind of unhealthy environment going on at the Barrie Inn my son wouldn't be working there!!!! Please ask questions, breathe we are all humans and need to pause before we act. Remember "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction " God bless. Nancisue Xo read more

I have been bring my dogs to the Barrie Inn for the past 10 years. My first first pup past a way in 2018. He had gotten so ornery that only Ellen at the Barrie Inn would groom him. In 2019 Ellen contacted me with information on a dog that was up for adoption. Now. Mooki comes for his Grooms . Thank you Barrie Inn read more

My experience with The Barrie Inn was absolutely horrible! When I bought my dog in for the temperance test, I was told by the owner that he was a little timid, but that he would be fine as he adjusted. I began bringing my dog in that following week. By the second week, when I brought him home, he would run to his bowl like he was starving. I just assumed that he was extra hungry from all of the exercise he was receiving during the day. I asked one of the workers the next day if he was eating, she informed me that if I wanted him to eat, I would have to pay extra or bring his food. During the initial interview, I was not told this, I was just told of the brand of food that they gave the dogs, so I assumed that they were feeding him. So basically my dog was there all day 6:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. without eating anything! I certainly would not have a problem bringing his food. To top it off, my dog was about 1 year old when I started bringing him to the Barrie Inn so he was still pretty much a puppy and he was extremely excited when I came to pick him up. A young man who I believe is the owners son, would bring my dog out, and because he was so energetic, he would yank his chain extremely hard nearly choking my dog to get him to sit. I am no dog trainer, but I do know that this particular technique was unnecessary. The last straw was when I picked my dog up, and when I got outside, I noticed a large gash in the top of his head. When I went back in to ask one of the workers, I was told by one young man that he had no idea what happened because he had just gotten there. When I asked another worker, she says she isn't sure what happened, but that I should just put some "peroxide" on it. It is my belief that if I am entrusting you with the health and welfare of my dog, you have the responsibility to do the right thing. The way my dog was treated was just awful. I am not sure why my dog would be treated like that, but I would not recommend this place to anyone, they are a rip off and they abused my dog. Perhaps because I didn't fit the "image" of their other customers? And they say that they are cageless, that is a total lie, I have gone in and seen the dogs in cages. The Barrie Inn is more like the Bates Motel for animals. read more

We left our Yorkie here for the first time a week ago. It was great. The staff is wonderful and he was very happy. We are so happy to now have a warm and welcoming place for our puppy when we travel! read more

When I called to see if they had an available appointmen for my morkie to be groomed, they took her immediately. Ellen was super polite and helpful. They did a wonderful job with my morkie Nalah and I look forward to having them groom her again. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. read more

We HIGHLY recommend this business and will return for their services again. Our 10 month old pup, Klaus, was boarded for 5 nights, while we were on vacation. We couldn't be more pleased! Klaus' calm demeanor and playful personality remains the same as we left him. It's apparent that our dog was returned more physically fit than we recall as well lol. It's very satisfying to know our dog was walked and accompanied by other dogs within the indoor park area for plenty of exercise. We struggled to find a reliable sitter for our pet. Our worse fear was our dog being crated all day without bathroom breaks. David, Russ and Staff give a very pleasant,friendly and honest aura. They were very accommodating to our needs. Dogs are divided by size in the park area and always accompanied by employed members. We also saw dogs being walked outdoors on leashes. We are more than satisfied with this doggie hotel and hope all dog owners have the same positive experience as we did. Keep up the excellent work that all you guys and gals do at the Barrie Inn !! read more

The Barrie Inn - Pet Groomers Near Me - Woodmere, New York

They were very friendly and helpful from the start. I needed an alternative boarding for my dog when our regular place closed unexpectedly for repairs. I called and brought him in for an evaluation and that was it. They were great with my 2 year old Min Pin and very nice to me as well. They seem to enjoy him and him them. We've been using them ever since and I have no complaints. I have even used the grooming once and that was the best bath he has ever come home from. They are also very reasonably priced in their services. All in all a great find! read more

The Barrie Inn is fabulous! It is connected to Fido Fitness Club and is the greatest option for any dog owner who must board his/her pet. My dog, Miles, not only gets fed, walked multiple times, and boarded for the night, but he also gets to play in the dog park all day! When I was gone for a week, I called for updates, and the staff was great and reassuring that Miles was having a blast! When I went to pick him up, he didn't want to leave! Whenever we drive to Fido Fitness Club or The Barrie Inn, Miles gets so happy. This place is amazing, especially if you travel a lot and are worried about your dog being in good care. read more

I've been there twice and I find that they are awesome. The staff is friendly and professional. My dog was given a blueberry facial. I can't praise them enough. You get a lot for your money. I will never use another groomer. And my dog smells wonderful. read more

I would never recommend this place to anyone! If you love your dog, do not bring him or her to this facility!! They have 2 large pens, one for small dogs and one for large dogs. The place is extremely chaotic!! My dog is very social, goes to the dog park all the time, has doggie playdates etc.. but when you put her into a pen for the 1st time with 15 large barking dogs she is naturally going to be skiddish and overwhelmed. Instead of working with her they told me they had to use a pinch collar, feed her in her crate and said she had social issues.The workers were screaming on top of their lungs at the dogs. My dog cried all the way home after being picked up and acted strange for the next few days. She will never go back!!! read more

Had a great experience with The Barrie Inn! My puppy was groomed beautifully and was done quickly- I was called as soon as he was done. I will definitely use them again and recommend! read more

This is my go to place for my pup, a 23 pound wheaten terrier and poodle mix (a whoodle!) They do a great job grooming him and at a very fair price. Russ and Ellen did a great job training him and were very accommodating with scheduling. He has boarded there several times for as long as a week and has a great time. On at least one occasion a family emergency came up and they took him on short notice with no questions asked. The indoor dog park really breaks up the stay. Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love this place!!!! The staff is so nice and my dog looks and smells fantastic after getting groomed. My dog also loves going to the groomer. I highly recommend the barrie inn read more

We were going on vacation for two weeks when our dog sitter couldn't watch our 8 month old golden retriever puppy at the last minute. We researched various kennels in the Long Island area and came up with The Barrie Inn as a cage-less kennel. Ellen gave us tour of the entire facility and could not have been more upfront, honest and compassionate. We had never gone away from our 'pampered pooch' and leaving him alone in a strange place seemed unfathomable ESPECIALLY for two weeks. They knew how upset I was (to the point of breaking down in their office) and The Barrie Inn did everything to ease my worries. I watched my puppy on the doggie cam at Fido Fitness. They sent me emails and pictures of my puppy during the two weeks of our vacation. Needless to say I was the only one worried. Our puppy had the time of his life!!! He was so happy and well exercised I'm not so sure he was as happy to see us as we were to see him. We'll be back. The Barrie Inn is awesome! read more
