My loving chows I have recently moved into the area and have used several kennels in the area for my two spoiled chows. The thing I liked about the Bark and Purr Retreat is that they got my dogs out into the yards at least 4 times a day. My dogs tend to be dog aggresive and unlike some other kennels I've used they did not mix my dogs with other dogs. Their handler stayed right in the yard when my dogs were out and that made me feel real secure for the safety of my dogs. Also my dogs are on a special diet and they had no prob... read more
I Love my dog, and I kennel my dog here with no problems- ever I have a dog named Sterling, and he is a beautiful german shepard, whom I love with all my heart. I have kenneled Sterling at the Bark and Purr for about 4 years now. I had to leave town for a furneral one time and Sterling was on medication for spot on his back where he kept chewing at it. I gave the owner, Sharron, all the information on how to give the medication to Sterling, and she said she would be sure he was taken care of for me. She reassured me that Ste... read more
THE BARK AND PURR IS AWESOME! I'LL NEVER TAKE MY DOG ANYWHERE ELSE I have gone to the Bark and Purr for many years, and I will never take my dog anywhere else. My dog has been left in their care so many times I can't even count them all. They have gone out of their way to take care of my dog, because I travel alot. Usually I am out of town 2 weeks out of a month. When my dog sees the Bark and Purr she gets really excited to go there, and that means a lot to me. I know she enjoys going there with all the other dogs and she re... read more
World Class Spoiled Hunting Dogs To all who want a great place to board their pets:I have 2 of the most spoiled hunting dogs you'll ever meet, and they are the best hunting dogs a man could ever ask for. So obviously I don't just leave my dogs anywhere or with just anyone. I board my dogs with the crew at the Bark and Purr Retreat in Southlake. I have kennels that are closer to where I live (east of Dallas), but I drive there because I trust them with my dogs. Both of my dogs have always come back to me happy, healthy and re... read more
Lisa L. I recently started working at the bark and purr pet retreat. This is the perfect job for me because I have three "babies" of my own. We take excellent care of all the pets that come through our door. I look at each and every one of them like they were my own. If they were my pet how would i want them to be treated and that's how I treat them. This is the kind of employees that the owners want and keep. If someone "slips through the cracks" that is not a pet lover, they won't be there long. Every morning each and ever... read more
Nightmare Experience! We left our 8 year old Weimaraner with this kennel for 7 days with explicit instructions by phone with Tim and in person with Jackie when dropping her off she's an 'inside" dog only. Immediately after picking her up we had to rush her to the Emergency Vet Clinic as she was projectile vomiting, lethargic and too weak to stand. She had lost 8 lbs, severely dehyrated requiring 1 full litre of fluids intravenously and anti-nausea shot. Her paw pads were swollen from standing on hot cement and her nose was s... read more
Isn't it strange? For the most part Bark and Purr Retreat is exactly what it should be. A reasonably safe environment where the animals are cared for by employees who enjoy the company of animals and don't just see the boarders as money. During my short period of employment my only issues were being blamed for a dog escaping into the scrap yard behind the kennels after it managed to slip underneath a bad spot in the chain link fencing. The dog was caught by the owner Tim, and myself, and returned but its feet were torn up fr... read more
Very Happy Customer... I have to say that I'm a bit outraged by the negativity that I have read here. My first comment has to be to those who have posted anonymously - Is it because your a coward or a lier ? I was referred to Bark and Purr by the breeder I purchased my dog from. Having never left my dog (of less than one year at the time) anywhere before, I was a bit ambivalent to do so. I was bringing my standard poodle there to be groomed and had nothing but great results. Tim the owner gave me a tour and eased my fears of... read more
THIS WAS THE BEST JOB I EVER HAD AND MISS MY FAVORITE BOSS' I use to work at this facility a few years ago. The owners are great!!! And treated me like there own daughter. I even had the pleasure to watch a litter of pups come into this world. This facility takes very good care of each pet that is brought in. This is the only facility that i knew at the time that gave there guest ample room to play in, many times of playtime outside in a fenced clean area, all kennels were clean many times a day correctly!!! If there is any ... read more
