Belladoggie Resort Spa For Dogs

The staff is super friendly and the facility is squeaky clean. Roscoe told me he enjoyed his stay and loved playing with the other dogs. I felt comfortable leaving him at Belladoggie, knowing he’d be playing only with puppies, geriatric dogs, and other small dogs. Thanks Belladoggie, and we’ll see you again soon!

We took our new puppy in for grooming and she came out dyed with pink hair. Never would we as people or pet owners condone this type of malicious act against our dog. We spend ample time with Gwennie and have spent a great deal of money to ensure that she is well taken care of. The first few months of a dogs life are so precious, that we are in utter shock and horror that such choices were made without our consent.
Pink hair, poorly done with drips all over are not how we want to remember this animals first experiences with grooming. The dye is semi-​permanent so we have no choice but to shave or live with this for 6 to 8 weeks. The manager on the other hand thinks it’s okay and believes his groomer did the right thing to make choices for us without proper consent. Furthermore, how they brushed her out became instantly matted and just worse than could be believed.
After reading reviews of this place, I urge dog owners to try another place that will understand you as a animal owner and listen to expectations. Attached are photos, before and after for you to decide from yourself. I believe small businesses should thrive. Unfortunately, this small businesses needs time to work on its services, especially when dealing with a part of your family.
We have taken daily photos of our dog, sparing no love or expense to have it live the best life possible. The attitude of this doggie salon is unheard of; our vet and other groomers have boldly discouraged us from ever using their services, in shock of the disregard of the animal and our feelings as owners.
At the initial consultation we paid for a continual monthly package to groom and bathe the dog, new food the dog will not eat, and treats for her to enjoy will having her treatment. Instead of focusing on an up sell, the groomer should have taken a look at the owner to recognize this was not okay.
An apology was not offered, but we did demand a full refund. Take your business else where and look for my next review of a recommended groomer. For those of you who left with worse things happen to your animal, we are very sorry. Understandably, your animal becomes a child in your home and we cannot condone frivolity when handling pets.

Best doggie daycare/​boarding provider in the city! Very caring staff, clean & safe facility. Our little one hates kennels. Belladoggie lets the dogs play hard all day, so come lights-​out, they’re so tired that a kernel with a soft bed isn’t such a bad thing. They even have a pool for those hot summer days. Our sweet little WFT comes home tuckered out, which is a good thing!
Yes, I wish they had webcam capabilities, but if that’s their ONLY shortfall, I’m good.

My daughter left her part Boston and part French Bulldog there for 2 days while she went out of town. He is a rambunctious puppy right around a year old and can play and run all day and never get tired. So when she found out he would be playing all day she was overjoyed. So because of her work schedule I went to pick him up that evening. Every time he sees one of us he goes crazy jumping on us and licking us as he gets very excited. Well when the girl brought him out not only did he not look happy to see me and seemed very lethargic and scared. She had him on one of their leashes and since I brought his harness I told her I would put it on him. Well she acted like he was going to attack her and told me she thought he would bite her. I said he doesn’t bite he only plays Looking at him I could tell his spirit was broken. He seemed very scared and was almost afraid to get in the car. I brought him home to my daughter and she immediately asked me why he was acting so strange. I’m not sure what happened to him whether he was hurt or hit but I have never seen him act like that, He wasn’t right for a few days and didn’t snap out of it for a while. I do know I will never take my 3 dogs there for fear of what could happen to them. And my daughter will never be back. The girls at the desk were very nice but I also know they don’t have cameras in the rooms so you really don’t know how your dog is being treated.

I left my corgi here last year and never took him back. He normally has unlimited amounts of energy. When I came back he was very lethargic and was obviously dehydrated and I had to nurse him back over several days with ice chips. We had asked them to leave his kennel and pillow in the room and didn’t fulfill this basic request. This place is expensive and not worth it. It was awful, don’t come here.

Best place in New Orleans for fur babies!!! Nina Simone loves everyone and gets to play and splash. Thank you for taking care of Nina for the past 2 years! Belladoggie doesn’t only offer a day spa for doggies they also help rehabilitate those in need and house others until they find their forever home. It’s an amazing place with loving people!!!

My dog loves it there! The people who work there are wonderful. Just the best!

I have had pretty good experiences with Bella Doggie. I first started using them with my Pomeranian, who is quite difficult. He was actually ok with the groomer there, Krystal. He always smells good, has a cute scarf, and his hair cut is pretty nice. After seeing how well he got along with Krystal, we used them for boarding on a few occasions. There was one instance where something got lost in translation & his food was lost (he was fed the wrong food) and he ended up staying in the wrong sized space.
We now have a larger dog, Doberman, who is a rescue and goes to Bella Doggie quite frequently. He really likes it there. He has gone for daycare, grooming, and boarding. In all instances, his services have been good. They give us cute little daily behavior reports and the employees seem to all know him by name.

My dog Delilah started staying at Belladoggie a few months ago, and I can’t say enough good things about the staff here. They take care of my little one like she’s their own. She’s a senior dog with special needs, and they are always so great about making sure she (and her worrisome mom!) is comfortable. Whether I’m boarding Delilah or just bringing her by for a groom, it’s the first time I feel 100% great about where she’s at.

Not excited about this place. At drop off the girl struggled taking my info and ultimately writes the wrong email address for me. Then I asked for my dog to be bathed, he was not and smelled of dog urine. Then they misplaced his blankets. I’m going back to canine connection.

I absolutely love this place. I took my dog here for 6 months before I moved to California. They were the most accommodating, affordable and friendly people. My yorkie Penny is a firecracker and I got to leave her at daycare for about 8 hours for only $ 20! I also used their splash and dash service and they would bath her after daycare before I picked her up so she would be nice and clean when I got her. I also boarded her during Mardi Gras and they were wonderful, so affordable and Penny loved it! I wish they had this place in California because they were so wonderful. They are so accommodating and friendly I would recommend them to everyone with animals!

Very friendly staff. Nice facility. I feel comfortable taking my dog here.

Left my two 20-​pounders with Belladoggie for a week since we spent Thanksgiving with family in Tennessee.
The Good: –the staff was friendly and helpful.
The Bad: –I called a month and a half ahead just to make sure there’s vacancy. They said it was all good and all set but when we arrived for the temper test I was told that my boarding dates were put in the computer for the wrong month (December 26-​January 2). I cleared it with the manager and I was promised a discount for the mess-​up. However, when I picked up my boys they still tried to charge me full price! And, they even called a couple of weeks later to confirm my appointment for the (false)dates. How about that?!
And, the Ugly: –one of my dogs came back sick. Fever, the shakes, loose stool, the whole nine. Cost me another $ 120 to get him healthy. Not so much of a good deal anymore.
If they manage to clean up their operation they can be great. Otherwise, there’s just too many options. Nobody wants to get their pets back sick.

Our first 2 trips were uneventful. The staff was friendly and seemed to be truly interested in my 2 Greyhounds. The last visit, Dec 19^th-​29^th was a nightmare. My husband and I went home to Illinois for Christmas. He dropped the girls off after work on Friday. He returned before me and picked the dogs up on the afternoon of the 29^th. He is not «a dog person» nor is he very observant. He said he noticed that the dogs had lost weight, but was not given any indication by the staff at Bella Doggie that there was any problem with the girls, other than, «Merle started limping a couple days ago. Once he got home, he noticed that W. couldn’t swallow, was drooling, and wouldn’t eat or drink. Merle was covered in a rash on her belly and inner legs and had swelling to her front ankle. He called the vet at Veta-​go-​go immediately and took both dogs in on Tuesday morning. Both dogs had lost 10 pounds from their previous visit at the vet (9 days prior to boarding at BD). The vet advised that he felt the girls had been exposed to some kind of chemical. W. had a hole burned thru her tongue. She also had an abscessed tooth, which I know BD did not cause, but not to notice that both dogs were in distress? To not even mention, «hey, there might be something wrong with your dogs»? WTH? We nearly lost both dogs from the poor care they received at BD. They returned most all of the dry food we sent. They did not give the treats we sent. Numerous attempts to contact BD have been unsuccessful. The email address is invalid. $ 610.00 for piss poor care. I will NEVER return to this place and will advice anyone that will listen to avoid them at all costs! DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS! If I could give negative stars, I would. I’m so angry I could spit. They need to be shut down for animal neglect.

Friendly staff and good prices. They saved our arses and made an exception for a 11pm check in due to our road trip situation (we got behind schedule). It saved us! The doggie shaped bushes outside are cute but the inside is not that clean when going behind the scenes of the place. We later found out it is an old renovated hospital which explains the «run-​down» appearance. We received our dog in a very wet and muddy condition at pickup and she had a few scratches on her stomach. She is not a energetic dog so this was a first but could just be a fluke situation. That is my only complaint. But they have 15% military discount which is defiantly a bonus. If given the chance I would take my dog here again and recommend this business to others!

It was my first time using this facility. I received a tour and it seemed really nice. I dropped off my dog and all seemed well. I went to go pick her up at the end of the day and that’s where everything started to go wrong.
1) They brought the wrong dog to me. I could have walked out the door with the wrong dog and no one would have known.
2) My dog is not spayed as she is a show dog. I left specific instructions that she was NOT to go out with other dogs. When they finally brought me the correct dog they asked if she was spayed. I said no. I had already let them know this about 4 times before I dropped her off.
3) They turned her out with other dogs. My dog is a sight hound. Anyone who knows anything about sight hounds knows they have a prey drive. They turned her out with a Maltese and another small dog! I was floored. They were SOOO lucky that nothing happened. My dog has a good disposition but you just don’t take chances by putting a sight hound that likes to chase and kill little fuzzy things out with two small little fuzzy things! I was shocked to say the least. I will never be back to bella doggie.

My review would be five stars but for a few things. We left our dog in boarding for two weeks since I was working out of town and my partner (dog’s co-​owner) was working too many overnight/​early morning shifts to take good care of him.
–First of all, they seemed confused that the dog had two owners and that though we were boarding, one of the owners would still be in town and would like to «visit» a couple of times just to check in. When he tried to do this they were extremely confused even though we had told them multiple times and had it on the forms that this would happen.
–While boarding our dog was bit during two other dog’s fight. I was not called, emailed, etc, and found out only when picking up the dog a few days later. He had a large wound which was thankfully not infected.
–Our dog came home coughing and with red eyes as well. Our vet said it was probably allergies from the kennel. His blanket was also soaked in pee and returned to us soaked in pee.
All that being said we will probably be back. As far as boarding situations go, our dog came home happy and tired and didn’t seem depressed as he had when we left before.

This place is so great. Been to a few other places in the city, but no one has treated me as good as belladoggie. Their retail shop is great as well. They keep track of the food you buy so if you ever need to send someone else in to pick up pet food for you the person can double check to make sure they are buying the correct item. Love this place!

After a bad experience at a daycare right down the street, we decided to try Belladoggie. I’m so glad we did, our dog loves it so much more. He has no anxiety when being dropped off, and actually wanted to stay when we picked him up. Good place.

Belladoggie… Cute place right? Friendly staff, you drop off your dog, pick him up, go home, everybody’s happy! Even a cute little report card!
Let’s just say that instead of a report card, your dog might come back with a severe eye injury like mine did. My dog is a small chihuaha beagle mix and loves dogs and people. She likes to play until she passes out (as most puppies do) and she doesn’t hesitate to play with big dogs. She isn’t aggressive or nervous so she usually doesn’t provoke big dogs to try to hurt her, but somebody needs to keep an eye on her while she plays with big dogs anyway just in case.
At Belladoggie, nobody was keeping an eye on her and as a consequence, she almost lost an eye. I had to pay a $ 450 vet bill and give her eye drops and antibiotics for 3 weeks after this incident. Oh, and there are no surveillance cameras so there’s no way to tell what exactly happened to her eye.
Dogs will be dogs and I know it wasn’t an employee that hurt my dog (or else I’d be in court and not on Unilocal), but what really provoked me was how inconsiderate Belladoggie was after it happened. When I confronted them for a refund for the rest of my membership, I was told that my 8 lb. dog was «playing too rough.» THEY BLAME THIS ON THE DOG. What would you think of a daycare if you found your 6 year old had been beaten up by a 10 year old and the caretakers told you your 6 year old was being annoying?
I did not receive a refund but was offered store credit (as if I’d ever put my dog back in there) and not so much as a real apology. I’m not writing this review because I’m angry, I’m writing it so that people who have small active dogs will be warned this place is not safe and will not help you if something happens to your dog. This is not heaven for dogs. You don’t get your eyes scratched out in heaven, and if you did, heaven would pay for the bills.
P. S. — Not from experience but I’ve heard that a dog once escaped from this place and was ran over, as if my experience wasn’t enough to convince you to go down the street to somewhere safe. I wouldn’t make this up.

Let’s just say my pooch Lola is low-​maintenance, but she she isn’t crate-​trained. This means she has to go outside to do her business a couple of times a day. This can create a cramp in one’s lifestyle. That’s where Belladoggie comes in!
This former neighborhood hospital now plays host for dogs to spend the day, receive spa treatments, romp, swim, even rehab if needed. You can purchase whatever you need at their store when you pick up your dog, too.
There’s a fairly lengthy questionnaire to fill out, along with proof of vaccinations. Once that’s complete, you can drop them off for daycare with a moments’ notice. My favorite part? When I pick her up, they give me a ‘report card’ describing her behavior while she was there! So far, she seems to excel at relaxing…

What a lot of people don’t know is that Belladoggie also has adoptables! We got our amazing dog Sweetie from them, and they couldn’t have been greater. Every employee knew her and loved her, and she had only been there a couple of weeks at most! I wish we could bring her back more, but sadly she gets carsick. When I have brought her back, even a year later, staff remembered her and were excited to see her.
They also have extensive knowledge of toys, food, etc. and are super willing to help with whatever you need. The stuff isn’t usually cheap but it’s great quality. Use them for whatever boarding, daycare, or supply needs you have!
