  “My family (three young children) and I had purchased a cute puppy to be a new addition to our family. He was the tiniest thing that I had ever seen, but he was a big breed dog, that should have been the first sign that something was wrong. I was told that he was 8 weeks old. Then next sign that I ignored was there was no guarantee. We brought the puppy home and the next day we took it to the vet because he was not feeling well and two days after that the puppy had died. We had to watch him seize and die. It was very traumatic not only for me but my three young children. After I looked at his teeth I believe he was only 3-4 weeks old. My husband called and was told that the owner is unavailable but their policy is not to give refunds. If I were you I would stay as far away from this place as possible. I should have looked at these reviews before we purchased anything from this so called business, but I was blinded by the cuteness that I had seen in the picture. This place needs to be shut down and now!!! It seems to me that all they care about is the all mighty dollar, that the animals are just money makers. It makes me think that this place is a puppy mill. Why else would they sell an animal that was clearly too young to be taken away from its mother. At least this puppy had a loving family, even if it was only for three days. It also makes me wonder what they do with all the other puppies that are sick and most likely die and never see anything past the cages that they live in?”

  “We bought a pair of puppies.
  The cage above them contained skinny pups, same litter, but segregated: they were all trembling, which should have been a big red flag. Two days later the smaller of our two pups became deathly ill; she spent a week in the vet's hospital on IVs, with PARVO. The other pup became symptomatic one week later and also spent time in hospital. No offer of refund, nothing but Oh, clean up with bleach water and keep them hydrated.
  Their immunization records were incorrect, incomplete, and not even for the correct breed.
  As a previous poster stated, I had to give them at least one star to post my rating; if it were possible I, too, would post negative stars.”

  “I purchased a puppy from this facility about a week ago. he is a completly different breed from what i payed for and the owner will not communicate with me in order for me to discuss what needs to be done to prevent a lawsuit on their behalf. DO NOT buy a puppy from this place! EVER! My puppy came home with coccidia, kennel cough, and a cold and UNFINISHED shot records that didnt even state whether or not the puppy was male or female! LET ALONE A DATE OF BIRTH! AWFUL PLACE! Completly and utterly DREADFUL!”

  “I don't usually critique places but I have to with this one. I wish I could give them negative stars! I took my long haired puppy there for her first grooming (about 3 years ago) with specific and very clear instructions that I did not want her ears, tail and face trimmed. When I returned to pick her up, her tail was bluntly cut (who has ever seen a tail that was square on the end?), all the long hair on her ears was cut off right up to her skin and her face was completely shaved. She had NO hair on her face. I was so angry, I picked her up and walked out. I will NEVER go here again. I found their grooming staff (2 guys) to be very vain and lacking personality. Although I didn't see anything questionable when I dropped my puppy off, when I went to collect her, I noticed way too many small dogs together in a single cage that they were trying to sell as well as a few others that looked skinny.”

  “For the record I had to put a star just to get my word out about this nasty place. This place is the worst place I have ever seen.
  
  I bought a jack russell terrier for my family from here and in less then two days my puppy was deathly ill with 1 foot round worms. She told me not to take it to the vet and to bring it to her and she would me the money back for the puppy. Very reluctantly I did only because of the money it would take to put her down. I no sooner got there and she ripped the puppy out of my arms and started yelling at me telling me that the puppy is not sick and that I am a liar. She refused to give me the money as well. She kicked us out and kept the dog and the money. She also called the police on us. The polie came and helped us out and got our money back. As we were there we did get to see some of the filth in the hall. There was runny diarrhea all up and down the hall way. It smlled so bad. Also the dogs were flee infested and extremely filthy. This place needs to be shut down. If enough people call the health department they will take us seriously. Lets help the remaining dogs out. They deserve a good life and as long as they are there they can't get it.”

  Very Sick Puppy

  “Recently a friend of mine bought a Jack Russell puppy from this place.
  BAD IDEA!
  This poor puppy is so badly infested with both round worms and tapeworms.
  I have never seen a worse case in such a tiny puppy. Her gums are pale white, she is lathargic and wont eat.
  This poor thing is so sick, it is unlikely to live. Now we have a heartbroken family with children who are now having to deal with the fact that their new puppy is deathly ill.
  They are at this moment in contact with the owner of this so called facility, trying to save this poor puppy, and she is NOT cooperating at all.
  I wish this family and their puppy the very best, but I dont believe it will have a happy outcome....”

  DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS

  “Today we visited A Barking Boutique Lmt. in Elyria on North Ridge Rd, and were disgusted by the cluttered facility and unsanitary conditions. On their website, it is advertized that dogs will be kept in boarding ROOMS and not KENNELS, and the staff supply BLANKETS and PADDING, while the dogs that were currently being boarded in a SINGLE ROOM were left in SMALL and CRAMPED CAGES with ZERO PADDING OR BLANKETS, laying on HARD PLASTIC and METAL!!! Several of the dogs were left outside together and unattended in a tiny outdoor kennel that the staff refers to as a run. The conditions of the entire facility was very poor and unsanitary; pop cans, empty wrappers, people-food, dog food, dog hair and filth covered the 'rooms'. According to the owner, she LIVES upstairs from the training, boarding and grooming facility, so this business is operated in her home. I wonder if she even has a license to operate a boarding center???
  
  Please be careful about the boarding facility you select to leave your dog at; not all boarding centers are trustworthy!!!”

  “I also left my dog at A Barking Boutique while on vacation 5/2/2009, and they lost my dog. It ran out the front door....?? They took no responsibility and thought an apology would solve the problem. HELLO! You LOST my dog. I had to search for the dog myself when I got home 3 days later. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR PETS!!!!!!!
  There are many similar stories, this is not the first or last time!”

  “although there were not so many breeds available but I was very happy with my pups and the owner was friendly too. Actually my husband and I got a male pups where we planned for female, then I went to returned it in the same day for female but the female that I chose was sick (runny nose), I fears she might die. So, next day i went to return her and get a male schnauzer and we are still so happy with him cos he is so cute. the owner was friendly and not all pups are sick, depend on what are you choosing and the place was clean too.”

  “We got a puppy from there back in February. We had to go home and wash the dog over and over again cause she smelled so bad. We had to all take showers and wash the clothes we were wearing as well as our coats.
  I will say, she is the PERFECT dog... too bad she had such a crappy beginning!!
  That place should be SHUT DOWN!”

  “I also bought a puppy from them and I don't know how they are even in business. The place is filthy and smells and most of the dogs look sick. I ended up purchasing the puppy because I mostly wanted to save it from this place...DO NOT GO HERE..UNPROFESSIONAL/UNSANITARY. My puppy also got sick soon after and they also refused any compensation. It's a shame that someone like this is allowed to even handle dogs or any other animals!!!!!”
