BarkCare

vet visits are usually scary for most dogs. In fact all of my dogs start shivering when in the vicinity of any of the vets they’ve visited over the years. Ive tried many facilities and vets in the past. Unfortunately, none have left a lasting impression, whether the facility, staff or vet being the issue.
So I tried Barkcare:
Appointment booking process was simple, convenient and fast.
The doorbell rang, and in walked Dr. Rob and Anthony.
They immediately sat on the floor with Bones, allowed her to get accustomed and then begin an examination while discussing and going over her history.
She received some boosters, anal gland expression and general physical/​dental examination.
They asked if I would like the history organized and loaded online.
Everything was explained clearly and Bones was happy the whole time. Happy to the point where she wanted to leave with them.
I received an email later talking about the visit and blood results. (great follow up)
What can I say? I now have a completely new outlook on vet visits.
my advice: stop wasting time searching for the right vet on Unilocal–
BarkCare is a game changer.

I never write reviews on Unilocal… primarily because I am lazy. But I was compelled to do so for these fine folks at BarkCare. Amazingly reasonable prices. On time. Professional. And they truly love the animals. So thrilled that I no longer have to get raped for $ 500 every time I want to have my dog checked out. THANK YOU BARK CARE!

I’m a first time pet owner and have no idea what to expect from a visit to the vet, so I couldn’t figure out what to expect from a home visit from a vet… my 1 year old, male, terrier mix rescue went from his normal, barky, growly, scared of new people puppy to a calm, relaxed and «submissive» patient before my eyes. He was easily examined and no worse for the wear afterward. Dr. Rob and his assistant Jenna were very friendly and really took the time to get to know my dog through asking questions. They were definitely NOT in a rush to treat and run!
The experience couldn’t have been better and Dr. Rob sent follow up emails and has quickly answered a bunch of questions I had after the appointment.
I highly recommend the service and will definitely use it again!

Bark Care is unlike anything I have seen before! I recently got a Yorkie Puppy named Coco. I have never owned a dog in NYC before, so I was googling vets online. I came across Bark Care and was amazed that they actually show up at your door for your special animal friends! The entire process was easy. I scheduled an appointment online and the Dr. and his assistant were there on time! So far Coco and I have met Dr. Rob, Dr. Ali, and Anthony they have been nothing but helpful, caring, and informative.
Coco is not scared at all or nervous when they arrive at our apartment. When she got her first shot she did not even budge! Anthony brought her toys and some dog treats our last appointment and Coco loves them! The employees at Bark Care are genuine and truly care about the well being of my Coco! I would highly recommend Bark Care to any pet owners!

I love these people! Our dogs get freaked out around other dogs, so having a veterinarian who will come to our house for a reasonable fee is wonderful!!! Dr. Rob, Dr. Amy, and vet. tech. Anthony have all been very kind, willing to answer any and all questions, and, most importantly, fabulous with our dogs!
I’ve already recommended BarkCare to friends!

I can’t enough good things about the BarkCare doctors. They came right over the day after I made an appointment, and I felt like I was having friends over– who just happen to know a ton about dogs! Dr. Jackie and Dr. Anthony were very informal, yet thorough and caring. My puppy was wagging her tail the whole time and she even got a treat at the end. No scary vets office, with flourescent lighting, barking dogs and cold examining tables for us! Thanks guys, see you in a few weeks for vaccinations.

My old bassett had another ugly hotspot. I just moved the dogs from CA and we didn’t have a vet. BarkCare is amazing. Dr. Rob showed up right on time and had everything with them. They didn’t over treat with unnecessary costly stuff. Just did what was needed in the most relaxed and dog centered way. They really knew what she needed and we were all in agreement about course of action. Found a great vet!

Dr. Rob is so great! It’s clear they both completely know what they’re doing and also really, genuinely love animals and want the best for them. They were on time, completely explained all of the vaccinations and tests they were doing, and gave me advice on diet and other things to keep my pup healthy. My dog loved them, and he didn’t even react to their needle sticks/​blood draws. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I love BarkCare! Dr Rob and Anthony came right to our door (on time!), and my dog’s tail was wagging throughout the entire visit.
The staff at the office we normally visit could use an improvement on bedside manner, and I was very pleased at the friendliness of BarkCare’s doctors. They were personable and professional, and I felt comfortable having them in my home.
My dog has a rough time sitting still during shots or when blood is drawn, but Dr. Rob and Anthony were relaxed and patient, and my dog was very calm.
If you want personalized attention, timely home visits, and friendly professional doctors, BarkCare is the perfect affordable service for your four-​legged family members.

I am probably in the group of first users for this service (from when it was phone consults) and it has been wonderful from the start. I called in hysterics when my dog was attacked at the park, more calmly when she had a rash and again when she tore her ACL. Each time I contacted them it was after hours and they were quick to respond (unlike my regular vet) and gave useful advice of how to proceed. I was thrilled when they began their home visits. Dr. Rob and Dr. Sara are genuinely kind people who care about our pets. They are prompt with all follow up and their service is very personalized. I’m not sure how high maintenance of a client I am compared to their other ones but they never make me feel like I am a bother or an over overconcerned pet parent. And now I don’t have to worry about finding a new vet every time I move because they come to whenever I am! Highly recommend!

Bark care and dr Rob are wonderful. I made an appointment on super short notice and my dog (and I) got such great care.
My dog split her nail pretty bad and the bark care guys were able to deal with it at our house, which made a sort of traumatic experience much less so. And they had great bedside manner with me (a new and nervous dogmom).
They also had the antibiotics my dog needed sent to our house the same day. It was all so easy– I even made it to work on time that day.
I highly recommend them!

Amazing care! Super convenient and made Crosby feel comfortable in his own home, especially being in a place he loves after getting shots. A follow up email included what we discussed and suggestions, which is super helpful to reference for products and timing of future boosters and such. Great service and communication — what more could be asked for?

Doctors Rob and Sarah have completely changed my impression of how much of a chore vet visits are. So much so that I didn’t hesitate to recommend their services to a new acquaintance with an 11-​weeks old bulldog puppy, even though they’ve only seen my dog once. Hard to believe, but the visit probably took only marginally longer than the time it took me to set-​up an appointment in the first place – they’re that efficient and punctual! My pup’s annual check-​up and all vaccinations were done in under an hour and Dr. Rob personally emailed me the very next day to inform me that all of his blood tests had come out clean. They then overnighted me his heartworm meds without my even requesting expedited shipping. Talk about full-​service for very reasonable prices. I’m a convert!

Literally the best vet experience imaginable– I just adopted a puppy and it was SO nice to have Dr. Rob and Dr. Sarah come to my house where my dog is comfortable– they were so professional, and so good with the dog. It would be hard to imagine sitting in a vet’s waiting room after experiencing BarkCare!

Dr. Sarah and Dr. Rob are the very best! They came to my home and saw both family dogs at once, the whole visit took about 45 min. The appointment was easy to set up, and communication before the appointment was great. Dr. Sarah inquired about our dogs history ahead of time, and took a look at medical history. Both our dogs are rescues, and each have very individual personalities. One is painfully shy and submissive, while the other is alfa and can be very protective of our home. Both Dr’s took the time and care to get to know our dogs and examine them both with care and grace. I was a little nervous about how the dogs would react to the home visit at first, but in no time it was clear our dogs felt safe and well cared for. The follow up via email was made by Dr. Rob within 24 hours, and was very clear and thorough. My family and I cannot say enough good things about our experience! We would definitely refer their services to friends, and will use them for veterinary care in the future. Thank you again!

Dr. Sarah and Dr. Rob came to our home today to visit our dog and cat, and they were amazing. I cannot recommend them enough! They were professional, and calming to our animals (I can’t believe our cat didn’t dart in the other direction– he was completely at ease). They were thorough, attentive, gentle, and overall just awesome. I am so happy our furry little ones have such great doctors to care for them, and in the comfort of their own home no less. Between their knowledge, service, and extremely transparent and affordable price structure, I really can’t imagine any reason to not use BarkCare. I am referring them to every pet owner I know!

Dr Rob and Dr Sarah are absolutely amazing! My cockapoo is deathly afraid of going to the vet and strangers. They made this the smoothest most stress free vet visit for my cockapoo as well as my vizsla. They addressed any concerns I had, and answered all my questions. My vizsla was ready to leave with them by the time they were done. We’ve already recommended BarkCare to friends!

This was by far THE best vet visit. I know most pets aren’t fond of going to see the Dr., my dogs in particular freak out before we even walk into the building.
Having Dr. Sarah & Dr. Rob visit us in the comfort of our own home, CHANGED THE GAME!!! The dogs were calm and so was I. Both Dr’s were unbelievably professional, thorough, kind and gentle with all the pups.
The appointment was easy to set up and I was able to schedule within a 48 hour window. In addition, Dr. Rob set me a follow up email within a few hours of the visit to review what we discussed and to let me know the pharmacy would be calling to arrange (free) delivery of the meds needed for one of the pups.
I can’t imagine ever going to the vet again! Dr. Sarah and Dr. Rob have fans for life from my household!
Thank you, BarkCare for providing such an awesome service!

Dr. Rob and Dr. Sarah are both professional and courteous. They clearly love what they do and love dogs. I heartily recommend them!

I’m a BarkCare customer and I couldn’t be happier. It’s incredibly convenient to have a Vet come to your home and be able to avoid the waiting room and just sitting around that occurs at traditional vet clinics. The fact that its competitively affordable makes it a no brainer.
I love the 2 Vets who have come to animals. They are friendly, knowledgeable, care about animals and are great to my dog.
