Pet boarding/training in Indianapolis

“I’ve seen every vet at this practice with both of my dogs and have always had amazing care! The front desk staff, vet techs, the groomer Sarah, all outstanding! Really appreciate everyone who works here!“

“Yes! Love the staff here! Everyone is kind and caring. My dog Alden gets good care here.“

“We had a great experience with Big N’ Small Paws 317 for our dog’s board and train program. Before training, we were struggling with listening, structure, and overall behavior. When Bella came home, we could tell there had been real work put in. The difference in focus, obedience, and responsiveness was noticeable. They were professional, communicated well, and clearly cared about getting real results. We are very thankful and would highly recommend Big N’ Small Paws 317!!“

“We love Puppy Playground- Mable always has a great experience and the staff is great w her!“

“Good service, groomer does a great price, and prices are affordable compared to other places I have used.“

“I have been going to this clinic for a few years now and each vet we have seen has been wonderful. My cat is not an angel at the vet to put it kindly but they are all wonderful with him. I’m so appreciative. We saw Dr Peters today for the first time and she and her team were amazing.“

“This is the most compassionate vet you’ll ever meet. I’ve been going to him for decades when my son’s dog was dying. He literally took him home with him over the weekend to keep an eye on him. What vet does that? He is an angel on earth working miracles“

“Margaret and Melvin at PDK9 are the best (we like to call them M&M) and I would give them 10 STARS if possible! We took our 3 year old rescue pitbull Maggie there based on recommendation of a dog rescue friend who works at the Indianapolis Animal Control shelter. I had rescued Maggie from traffic in Indy in the summer of 2023 after she had been abandoned and we spent over 2 years and thousands of dollars (over $5000) on other trainers to help with her reactive/ agressive behavior towards other dogs and people so she could be permanently adopted. While we made progress with Maggie she still was difficult to introduce to potential adopters, until we took her to PDK9. M&M made an impact on Maggie the first day, I could tell within 15 minutes that their approach was so unique and effective with Maggie. Then she went thru a 5 day Confidence Building training with PDK9 before Thanksgiving which was transformational for her. I think it may have changed the way she perceives her world now, it's not a scary place she has to defend us from and she can relax and just have fun living her best life. After the training M&M helped introduce Maggie to potential adopters at their facility and it was the first successful meeting we had ever had with her. They immediately told us they wanted to adopt Maggie and she has done incredibly well with her new family plus she has a big yard to play in now! I could write so much more in praise of PDK9 and their approach to training, Maggie's new owners made a connection with M&M and are continuing with her training at PDK9 so she can live her best life. I only wish we had met them sooner, we highly recommend the trainers Margaret and Melvin and their facility at PDK9 is excellent for training!“

“This experience is the GREATEST I’ve ever had. From start to finish, Mary and her team were warm, caring, and knowledgeable. I will definitely bring my dog back!“

“I cannot recommend Feelin-Groovy Dog Grooming enough! I took my German Shepherd in for a bath and de-shed treatment, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Right at drop-off, the groomer spoke with me directly, which immediately put me at ease. The facility is great—you can see all the dogs in their spacious, clean kennels, which provides a lot of transparency. What impressed me most was the groomer’s knowledge of the breed. Often, groomers can be critical of GSDs due to their vocal nature or anxiety, but she was incredibly understanding of what inherently bothers them. I picked up the cleanest dog I’ve ever seen and, more importantly, a happy one. If you have an 'anxious' breed, this is the place to go!“

“these people are a true blessing! my boy, 3yr male cat, had been throwing up for two days. i consulted with a vet through chewy and a vet at an emergency hospital and they both told me it was okay to monitor from home unless his condition worsened. overnight he seemed worse. in my frantic state of mind i accidentally ubered here instead of the emergency vet. not only were they open on a saturday but they welcomed me and my boy with open arms and allowed us to see the doctor despite not having an appointment. receptionist, nurse, and doctor were all amazing! so much respect to their team for being flexible with my situation and not turning us away!“

“We have boarded elsewhere and Barkefellers is truly the best! From the webcam, to the attention to detail I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else. And I love that the price includes everything!“

“We had our 14 yr old lab at Barkafellers. He is high maintenance due to arthritis, age, and a cancer survivor. I can’t thank the staff and especially Jenny and Tracey for taking such good care of him. Jenny made sure he ate and had his meds. Tracey went to his suite to do his nails. He takes a lot of meds and is difficult to get to eat. Thank you Barkafellers. Over and above my expectations.“

“Very quick service. Brought my cat in for a rabies vaccination and the vet and assistants were very kind, caring and careful handling my pet. They were very respectful and made it quick and comforting for my pet. Thank you!“

“Canines in Action deals not just with dogs! Laura has been so patient helping me with my special-needs cat and his behavioral issues, making sure his comfort and that of my other cat is a top priority during the training process.“
