“When we first arrived at Lewis & Bark for our dog's temperament test, we were immediately impressed with the facility, safe, clean, and welcoming. Since then, L&B has continued to evolve with thoughtful improvements both inside and out. The pride in ownership of this family-run business is apparent.”
“He used to have separation anxiety at the beginning but after a few days at daycare he gets so excited as soon as we pulled in the parking garage, and that makes me so happy to know he's very well taken care of.”
“This place has been so great for our high energy pup and the one on one training sessions are a game changer! So grateful to have L&B in Shrewsbury, their philosophy makes me feel at ease when I leave my pup in their care.”
“They know every dog's personality and needs; it's amazing. Our dog has so much fun just playing with the other dogs and interacting with staff. She particularly loves being challenged on a weekly basis when she participates in Wicked Smart Wednesdays!”
“Super clean environment and friendly staff. Madison and Samantha are so nice and welcoming! My dog has only been here twice so far but my mom and I absolutely love his haircuts, it's exactly what we want!”
“My dog LOVES this day care!! She jumps out of the car and runs up the ramp every time. There is turf which makes for less mess upon pick up, they offer treats daily, throw birthday parties, and have the kindest staff.”
