Barkin Bungalow 10705 Forest Road, Forest, VA 24551

"I’ve taken my dogs to the Barkin Bungalow for several years now and always had the best experience. The owners are extremely dedicated and you can see how much they love the dogs who stay with them. I always feel like I’m leaving my Doberman with a friend and they’ve gone above and beyond to make sure he’s given the best care. I highly recommend them!"

"My dog has been boarding at Barkin Bungalow for many years now and they have always taken excellent care of him. Small, family owned business that truly cares about animals."

"Please do not take your pets here. I am currently sitting at the emergency vet waiting on my 8 month old Goldendoodle and to pay the $725 bill. We dropped our two dogs off on Wednesday at 4:00. I had given them a bath just before taking them. We picked them up Friday at 4:00 pm so they were only there two nights. When they brought them out they were matted and there is no way to completely explain the way they smelled. It was the strongest urine smell I have ever smelled. They were completely covered in it and God only knows what else. We had to ride home with the windows down and I had to bathe them both immediately when we got home. At 2:30 am our Goldendoodle began throwing up. She threw up constantly and began throwing up nothing but blood. I brought her to the emergency vet and was advised that she has a severe gastrointestinal infection and that it is a result of severe stress and trauma. They advised that it was a direct result of being boarded here these past few days. Please, please do not take your pets here. Save them the trauma and you the money."

"We have used Barkin Bungalow for years for our dogs, cats and even our parakeet, and the pets seem to enjoy going there. It is very obvious they treat our animals well and they love animals, which makes me confident to leave my pets in their hands. No complaints, just compliments to them!"

"I was only dropping a pet off for my friend. I'd never take my pet here. Office was unkept and they seem unprofessional and a bit rude. I had to pick the dog up less than an hour later because they said she was chewing through the wire cage. What kind of kennel has wire cages a dog can chew through? Save yourself and your pet, pick somewhere else."
