Barking Hound Village Inn has such a caring staff. My dog, Bonner, is a handful because of abuse as a pup, but they know how to handle and love on him. He even lets them give him a bath!

We love Barking Hound!! My dog, Murphy, is always happy to arrive and exhausted when I pick him up, which is the goal! He also has a few "special needs" and they have always been more than accommodating! Thank you Barking Hound!

My dog (and I) absolutely love the staff at this location as well as the flexible schedule for pickup and drop off. It isn't always easy working around travel plans, but they have always been so accommodating and always very kind to the pet.

I have brought my dogs here in 2002. They all have loved it here. My dog can't wait to get inside! As soon as she crosses the threshold, I no longer exist. LOL She enjoys her play time here. I can watch her on their webcam. The photos they provide show how happy she is at Barking Hound. I'm happy with the groomer.…
