Wonderful place with amazing staff. It's a struggle to leave him but they always take great care and he loves to play with the other dogs. Staff are knowledgeable and caring.

Every time I bring my pooch in I'm always treated with great respect and my dog comes home looking extravagant. I also enjoy the fact that there is a pretty pink bow on her collar when I pick her up. I personally enjoy that portion of additional added touch.

Have been bringing my dog for weekday daycare for about 2 weeks now. He has always been well taken care of and has a good time. Rate is very reasonable, facilities are clean, and staff are prompt and courteous.

We have a 3 years old rescue who has never done will with boarding. She would often not eat and be lethargic when she came home. That was not our experience with Indian Bridge. We boarded our dog for 2 weeks this summer while we traveled to visit family and my heart was put to rest the moment we stepped in. It is a beautiful, clean facility. The front desk person was delightful. Everything about this place felt right. They take the dogs out 4 times a day, 2 of which are playtimes. They offer a military discount and they did a great job trimming my dogs nails. I highly recommend this place!

The first time we took our dogs here a few years ago when we first moved into the area just for grooming they lost one of our dogs collar. They blamed it renovation work instead of taking responsibility. They tried to get us to buy one of their collars and we had to insist they pay for the replacement since they lost ours. We decided to give them another shot and figured it was just a one time incident.
We scheduled a grooming and the employee that made the appointment said updated shots didn't matter for grooming. They call us the day before the appointment to say rabies update was required for grooming after the first caller said it didn't matter. Clearly they don't train their employees properly. We won't be back.
