Piedmont Bark

When I entrusted my 8 month old puppy to Piedmont Bark for daycare, I didn’t expect that when I picked her up later that day I would discover a large bloody laceration on her leg that required stitches. Her tail had also obviously been bitten and was missing hair. The reason, however, that I will never be returning to Piedmont Bark is not simply the injury. Nor is it the $800 emergency vet bill that evening for stitches and pain medication. No, the reason I will never return to Piedmont Bark is because I didn’t find out about her injuries from a phone call immediately after they happened. Instead, I had to be the one to find the injuries, hours after they occurred, when the blood in her fur was dried and matted. Staff not only didn’t notice the attack, but never noticed the wide bloody gash. How long did she sit in pain without any medical attention before I came to pick her up? This gross negligence is the reason I will never entrust any animal to Piedmont Bark again. My dog’s wounds were not hard to spot and they were serious enough to require an emergency vet visit. If Piedmont Bark cannot prevent or even notice that type of injury, I can never trust them to take care of my dog. I would encourage anyone who cares about their dog’s health and safety to find a different daycare where staff show even the bare minimum level of concern for the welfare of the animals they’re being trusted to protect. UPDATE: I spoke with the manager several times on the phone and they apologized profusely for the event, and especially for staff not having noticed. Because the injury went unnoticed, they agreed to partially cover vet bills.

My dog Marley LOVES Piedmont Bark. I can also tell that everyone who works there loves him too. They greet him by his name when we drop him off and sometimes they’ll tell me how goofy he was that day. He doesn’t pull on the leash except for when we get out of the car to drop him off at daycare. We’re waiting a while to get him altered so I’m sad that’ll we’ll have to take a break but we will definitely be back in a year because piedmont bark is like Disney world to him.

We have been taking our golden retriever to Piedmont Bark since she was a puppy. It is literally her happy place. She always runs in and never wants to leave. The grooming is also excellent. We are so grateful for the love and care she receives from the staff. We highly recommend for pups of any size or age.

We love Piedmont Bark! I have been taking my 5 year old retriever here for daycare and boarding since he was 3 and our 2 year old shiba inu has been coming since she was a puppy. The dogs are always happy to be dropped off and exhausted when they come home. The staff knows our dogs and takes good care of them each time they visit. At other corporate doggie daycares, I had issues with my retriever getting injured and no one informing me. That has never happened at Piedmont Bark and I love supporting a small business that is integrated in the local community !
