My Buddies Pet Care

Even though they are from New England (and probably Patriots fans) we elected to take Mayble for grooming. She’s a huge Colts fan, so needless to say we were all a little anxious. They gave her a bath, nail trim and ear cleaning in under 20 minutes while we waited. Owners are on site and available. Thankfully football never came up in conversation.
Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely bring her back. Day care seems a lot more dog friendly than our previous national chain location.
Great work.

Fur babies! We can’t live without them but couldn’t possibly live with them the week they no longer smell and look like the four-​legged blessings from heaven we adore and start to resemble a scruffy dog. I helped/​yelped discover Buddies on my last visit but haven’t written a review until I asked dad what he thought of the services provided. He is not happy with Unilocal only allowing five stars and after the doggie day spa his baby, a Maltese named Alley, had today I have to concur. Wonderful job! Bath, cut, and a good trim of all the hair around her paws and face have her looking beautiful. We did find out Alley is a teetotaler as she set to work right away getting her sporty little shamrock bandana off but that’s okay the staff at Buddies tried and succeeded in making her pretty.
I cannot forget the kitty superhighway they also have for the pet lover/​owner of those feisty felines, well one feisty feline, who I often feels looks down on me when I go about my daily duties of making her happy. This entirely opened yet secure room allows a kitty to jump, cavort, rest, and still manage to look upon their entire audience with a smug sense of superiority as if humans were placed there for their own amusement and were found lacking. I would consider boarding my own baby here while visiting.
The staff are courteous and professional. The owner offers many discounts– active military and veterans, discounts on scheduled appointments, and more discounts for boarding past 10 days, a most economical option for all pet parents.

5 star service. My dog is shy but was handled with care. He has been to five groomers and this one was the best. They are patient, thorough and reasonably priced. Best of all my pet was calm and happy after his visit. Joanne groomed him beautifully causing many people to comment on our evening walk; one person even asked if he was a show dog! My Buddy Pet Care even has a dog daycare and trainer on site offering great suggestions. I would use them again.

i am very impressed with My Buddies Pet Care. It was clean (smelled clean and looked clean) and was well organized when we arrived unannounced to check the place out to see if it would be an acceptable location to give our Roscoe (Australian Sheperd) a good grooming. We scheduled an appointment and arrived the next day. They were busy but very attentive, and off he went to get a much needed haircut. He had a bath, haircut, nails trimmed and a new bandana tied around his neck. When I picked him up he was happy, wagging his tail and prancing quite proudly as he must have known he looked good. Thank you Joanne for being so good with him. We will definitely be back again. Pricing was reasonable.

We were very nervous about leaving our three dogs anywhere until we met Tom and Amanda and the crew at My Buddies Pet Care in Port Charlotte. Our boys are always so relaxed when we get them back and I love that we can watch them on the cam when we leave them.
We started by bringing our three boys for grooming there and instantly felt a comfort level with our boys in their care.
Sometimes we just leave them for the day care and sometimes for several days overnight. Any time we leave them, we are sure that they are well taken care of and have plenty of good company!
Thank you Tom and Buddies!

Love My Buddies! They take great care of our dog and the grooming is wonderful. We have left our dog for up to 2 weeks and he had a great time. Would highly recommended them. Great service.

My husband and I are empty-​nesters with two dogs who have become like children to us. On a limited income, we found that we could no longer afford the pet boarding service we had been using; the boarding was expensive and every extra thing (play time with other dogs, chew toys, administering medicine) carried a pretty expensive extra charge.
We investigated Pets R Us in Port Charlotte and were very happy with their care of our dogs. First of all, they had us bring our dogs in for an afternoon of free daycare to see how the dogs reacted to other dogs. Next, their reasonable pricing includes administering medicine, lots of play time with other dogs, a very clean environment, and even a bath before they are picked up. The cost was half of what we usually paid at our former dog boarders.
Our dogs were happy and healthy when we retrieved them, showing no ill effects from their separation from us. The employees were helpful and friendly. The business does not have flashy advertising, but it is a very good place to leave a beloved pet.

The crew takes great care of your dog’s boarding, daycare, and grooming needs.
Rick the owner is very nice and incredibly hands on with all of the dogs that are in his care.
Your dog will have a great stay and you will have peace of mind knowing you are leaving your little loved ones in good hands. I have personally met many happy dogs in their lobby that are happy and wagging their tails upon entry to the daycare.
In addition to their great pet care– If you are going into the pet industry their dog courses are very informative. Rick has a vast amount of dog knowledge!
