“With a name like Barkaritaville you know we’re dedicated to fun and having a good time, but we also want pet parents to enjoy peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe in our care,” founder Laina Schonefeld said in a news release.

Schonefeld opened the original Barkaritaville in Corpus Christi in 2009.

Staff members are currently or on their way to becoming certified in pet first aid and CPR, the release states. Employees are also certified in the Knowing Dogs training program that teaches how to handle dogs during off-leash play.
