They appeared to love our dogs, but 1-2 seemed to come home more afraid. We had 5 board with them. So not sure why that was. And they asked for a tip but they didn’t do anything extra than I paid for, so why tip. But decent price when we boarded.

Hi Chris - Thank you for your review! Your dogs are so much fun and they did great for their whole stay. While we keep them on a routine of play, feedings and rest, the routine may vary slightly from yours at home. Just like coming back from any trip, it takes a little time to adjust and get back to your normal routine in a day or so. As for asking for a tip, our payment software does it automatically. You can simply decline. We offer different services such as daycare, training and grooming. Leaving a tip for grooming staff is like tipping your barber or hairdresser, so, to make it easier, it's electronic. Have a great day! Gary, Owner Barkingham Palace.

Excellent staff (Stacy) and Groomer (Gary)! Our Mini Aussie had a rough experience at a groomer in Fredericksburg and we were going to be traveling through marble falls that coming Saturday. I spoke to Stacy on Friday and she was so helpful and accommodating! She got us in for a full groom the next morning with Gary. Our dog can be a bit fussy around new people, however Gary had the perfect introduction and Ollie took kindly to him right away (which was amazing in itself). As new dog parents Gary also gave us opinions and tips on how to keep caring for Ollie which was nice of him to do after the appointment. Ollie looked amazing with his new short haircut and we can't thank everyone here enough! Grooming is new to this location so give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Hi Christine, Thank you so much for you review. We always appreciate the feedback! Ollie was a great boy to work with. I really enjoyed grooming him. I always try to get some input from the pet parents when I am working with their fur babies about how they would like them to look and if it works with their breed of dog. And, as you said I try to impart a little grooming knowledge to yall at the same time! Best regards, Gary

My Springer Spaniel was so happy when I dropped her off on Tuesday! There were at least three people giving her so much love! I called on Friday to check up on her. I left a message, but then received a call back within 30 minutes. She looked absolutely beautiful when I picked her up today! This is the best grooming she has received in a LONG time! Thank you for making her look like a Springer again!!

Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for the review and feedback on your and Bella's stay and grooming with Barkingham Palace! Bella was a sweetheart and we loved having her stay with us. She was also a joy to groom! Best regards, Gary

Been taking my dog to Barkingham since the new owner took over and he has loved the daycare and play groups they offer. He is always so excited when we pull into the parking lot and has enjoyed making new friends! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful staff and facilities. My older dog has had several good grooming experiences, which is usually a challenge with him. The new owner and staff took great care of him.

Since the new owner has taken over this year the prices have increased (twice I think) and they now charge a 4% fee for paying with a card. One example of some of the changes is the previous owners only charged 1 play time fee if 2 dogs were in the same kennel but the new owner charges per dog. They also ask multiple times for tips during check out and check in takes quite a bit of time. The previous owners were so good that I had good expectations for the new owner but it has been nothing but a disappointment. Will not use them again.

This is a very nice clean place to board your pets. The staff takes very good care of them and it seems like the animals enjoy the stay. There's not a lot of barking, so that's nice.

Hi Art, thank you so much for your review of Barkingham Palace! I always like to hear back from our pet parents on how we are doing! Best regards, Gary

My various dogs went to Barkingham for well over 15 years and I never had a moment's worry. I was sorry to say goodbye when I moved up to Washington state.
