Report
I can't say enough about The Barrie Inn. I have been using them over the years for grooming of my 5 standard poodles and little coton de tulear and always been very happy with the results. I loved them for grooming but I never needed them for anything else. Then my circumstances changed and I needed to board my immune compromised 2 year old poodle. This dog had been left once before with someone who boarded in her home and he was gravely ill when I picked him up.
I was very concerned about my fragile dog and how he would do being left again. My vet recommended speaking to Ellen, one of the owners of The Barrie Inn. Ellen was superb! She listened sympathetically to my fears and promised she and her staff would pay very close attention to my dog's physical as well as emotional needs. She told me to call as often as I needed and she and her staff sent me pictures and videos to ease my mind. I came home to a healthy, happy dog. The Barrie Inn was truly a life saver!
