The Pet Barracks

This is a pretty cool concept (fairly new to me as I have always just used the «buddy next door» method). Also, they got me hooked by calling it a barracks, which appeals to my cold Army heart.
So this is a boarding house? Kennel? I don’t know what the technical term is for it, but it is a place that you can take your pets (dog or cat) and let the play for the day, get groomed or even stay the night… for many, nights.
I am not sure the exact prices (you can call though and be told everything from their super friendly staff). What I do know is that you can call or go in and set up appointments. You can drop your guys off for a «day care» kinda thing, which is what I have done with my pup. I wanted her to get MORE play time in, and this place was perfect. Dropped her off at 0700 and picked her up at 1830… she just played with other dogs all day. Well, not the entire day, but for a few hours at a time. They try to match your pet with similar pets of size and behavior. That way they can all play happily together and not get into any fights. They also have groomers on site, and during that block I dropped her off, we had her groomed as well. Again, I forget the price, but it wasn’t bad. It was very fair for what services that were provided.
They also board animals overnight, or for several nights. For example, I have already booked my cat for 28 Jun — 10 Jul. They offer a military discount, and I wanna say after it is all said and done, one cat, 28 Jun — 10 Jul, was right at $ 162. Is that expensive compared to other kennels? I really don’t know, as I have never used one before. But what I do know, is that I have visited this place, and dropped my dog off here twice for a total of 27 hours or so, and I am very comfortable with the facility and the staff. I am confident that my animals will have the best experience they could have outside from just being home with us.
Make sure you call though, and ask about vaccinations. So, it was annoying at first, but when I thought about it, I actually agreed. What I am talking about is; my dog was up to date on shots, so I bring her in to drop her off for the first day care visit. Well, this place (I hadn’t been told previously) requires certain vaccinations to be current within 6 MONTHS, while the vet of course gives the vaccines annually. I was of course frustrated because it was 0700 on a weekend and its not exactly close to my house… but after I thought about it, I was more comfortable knowing that this kennels vaccines requirement was MORE strict than the vet… hey, just means my pets will be in a healthy environment. That’s fine by me. The vet I go to opens at 0900 anyways, walk in basis… got the shot, had the dog dropped back off by like 1030. No worries. But make sure you are up to date … call and ask.
I like this place and already have a booking for the near future. I will continue to use this place both for day car /​play date services, as well as overnight boarding. I recommend you do the same.

Been taking my boxer/​terrier mix here since last April and I have to say, this place is amazing. Super friendly staff, amazing hours, open 365 days, and they keep the kennel area spotless. Every time I take my Luca to stay, I can breath easy knowing that he’s being taken good care of. The staff is constantly posting pictures of the pets running around in the play area on their Facebook page, so you may see your pet! When I drop him off, he always runs in and I almost have to carry him out when I pick him up, because he’s so tired from playing! I also love that they don’t have a breed restriction against bully breeds (so hard to find that these days). Highly recommended. Little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for :-)

A good dog is a tired dog. A good daycare is one that has great people who work together to make a super experience for the dog and stress free experience for the owner. Yup, Pet Barracks measures up well. Rodger That!

My lab Lexi had a blast here. She didn’t want to leave! Went for daycare and had updated posts on Facebook during the day. Nice, clean facility, highly recommended this place. Lexi was sooo tired when we got home, which is a change for a 7 month lab. Attending 2x a week.

The Pet Barracks is AMAZING!!! I called today that I needed my husky mix to get a groom and possible trim on his super long messy fur. Everyone was super helpful, friendly, and all have great customer service! They groomed and shaved my dog expertly since he had some matted fur from all his outdoor activities. The best part was the love they showed for my dog and the SUPER CHEAP prices! I will definitely be back and highly recommend The Pet Barracks to anyone in El Paso looking for high quality groomers or boarding.

I have been bringing my poochie here for 6 months. We both love it here!!! The hours and great and so is the staff. Now that there is grooming here it is a one stop shop.

We have been bringing our dog here for doggie daycare for over a year and he loves it. He always comes home worn out and usually sleeps most of the next day. We have also had to board him here on several occasions. It is great to know that he is getting taken care of by people that really enjoy their job. The facilities are very clean. I recommend this place to all of my friends that have dogs.

I wish I could give a higher rating — this place was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were visiting family from out of town, and we needed a place where our dog could be cared for during the day. After a very helpful and pleasant phone call with the owner, we knew we couldn’t have found a better place. Not only are their rates extremely great, but their service is beyond incredible! Our dog had so much fun, and we received updates throughout the day. She slept so peacefully that night because of how exciting her day was. We certainly will be bringing her back in the future! Thank you again to the wonderful owners and staff!

Brought my dogs here for Doggie Daycare and I love this place! The owners are super-​friendly, the place is spotless (for an animal facility), and you leave knowing that your pets are in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

were looking for a new grooming spot for our three dogs because driving to petsmart was getting to be too much. They did their nails quick and easy and no one got injured and we paid less. Will be going here from now on

This place just opened so they are still putting the finishing touches on everything. I have been watching the progress of the building for the last few months and finally got to speak to the husband of the husband/​wife owner team. Real nice guy and both he and his wife are retired military. She had these type of dome buildings where she was stationed (forget where) and so it just made sense when it came time to build The Pet Barracks.
There are separate areas for dogs and cats, in different buildings actually. The dog kennels are really nice and pretty spacious. They all have an outdoor area and there is a huge astroturf area outside.
I’ll update this review once they are fully functional.
