Proudly Serving Pet Wants To Our Tailchasers Family!

Pet Wants is nutritious pet food made with the best ingredients possible and delivered to your doorstep.

No corn, wheat, soy, fillers, artificial preservatives or bi-products are used in the production of this healthy, all-natural pet food. It is even slow-cooked at a lower temperature to aid in digestion for your pet. It is also produced in small batches every 120 days at our production facility, then delivered to us within 7 days after production, so it is always remains fresh.

We were drawn to Pet Wants because of the freshness. We had been looking for a fresher option to avoid the toxins and loss of nutritional value of traditional pet food distribution, both for our own pets and for the pets we care for at Tailchasers Pet Care and Barrington Pet Resort, and Pet Wants was absolutely the right choice.

Check out our online selection of healthy food and treats and find something your best friend will love.

Some Pawsitively Happy Clients

I love bringing Bella here. I know she is having fun & better I know she’s in good, loving hands for the day. I wish I could do it every day for her!!

~Bill

Everything about boarding, grooming and caring for our giant dogs is easier with Barrington Pet Resort. The staff is genuinely friendly and caring, efficient and timely, and based on the adorable daily “report cards,” it’s obvious that our dogs are happy and enjoying themselves amongst other happy “guest” dogs.

~Hillary & Rob

I have been going to your facility for years and years, with many different dogs that we have had. I have always been happy with your staff and your facilities. I have recommended many friends and they have always been happy too.

~Jeannine and Bob

It’s so reassuring to bring our pets here knowing they will be taken care of and loved.

Love the report cards!!

~Jennifer

I felt very comfortable leaving Sandy there for the first time and really appreciated Matt coming out to get her and spending time talking to me. It really means a lot when an owner of a business takes the time to “keep it personal” with his clients, it really goes a long way with making you feel comfortable. I’m excited to bring Sandy back!

~Ann

Best doggie daycare. They will make adjustments to make your dropoff convenient.

~Jeanne

Benny loves going here, either my mom or me drives 40ish minutes just to take him. I love the staff and how awesome all of you are.

~Michelle

My dog is old, deaf and has warts. Previous groomers always cut her warts, so she would be sore for weeks after. Maria took the time, and was so careful, no nicked warts! Thank you, Maria! We will definitely be back!!

~Jenny

I love seeing how much Suli loves being at Barrington Pet Resort, even though it’s so embarrassing when she acts like she doesn’t want to go home with me. LOL! You and your staff are wonderful and I am so appreciative of your huge play yard. I love that Suli does so well in play group with you!

~Karen

Thank you so much for taking care of Charlie. We are happy to have found a good place for our family pet!

~Linda

I wouldn’t take my dogs anywhere else. We ALL love it here !!

~Mary

I absolutely love the report card – it’s like being a mom of kids again at daycare. I love knowing how the dog did & who she played with & the pics. I like the feedback about her demeanor as well. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog!

~Becky

You always take great care of George and Jasper – Thanks!

George on the mend from ACL surgery about 4 weeks ago ( doing well ) – Thanks for taking good care of Jasper and letting him get his Zoomies out!!

~Jane

I met the owner when he brought Jameson out after his appointment. He was a very nice man. It touched my heart of how he was so friendly to me and of course to Jameson.

I always tell my friends and acquaintances that they should bring their pets to you to stay or get groomed.

I love Maria, she always does a great job trimming Jameson.

I feel safe leaving Jameson with you because I know you will take care of him♥️

~Arlene

I love Barrington Pet Resort. I have been coming here for over 20 years. The new owners are great, and my dog loves going there.

Loved the daily report cards including their pictures! I am able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing our boys are happy too! Thank you so much!

~Nancy

When I went to drop the dogs off the whined with excitement to visit their friends at Barrington pet resort and when I came to get them one didn’t want to leave. Both are exhausted and passed out on the couch! Clearly It was 8 paws up from Wyatt and Sadie. I thank you for being able to keep them both so happy and content and I’m relieved I have a place I can trust!

~Teresa

Thank you for being responsible with drop off and pick ups!!

Louie and Logan have so much fun and much needed to run around with their friends safely ?

~Julie

Love that I found a place that really takes great care of my fur babies!! They are always excited when we arrive and exhausted when it’s time to leave!

~Gina

I loved getting pictures of her smiling and being so happy. You can see and hear the passion in the owners voice for the care of dogs at his facility which makes me very extremely comfortable leaving Maple there. I know she will be well taken care of.

I’ve boarded/groomed at Barrington Kennels, now, Tailchasers for years… I love the ease of your website and on line capability for reservations and services. Loved the report cards I received while away! Thank you!

~Kathy

I can’t imagine going anywhere else. I know my pet is safe and well cared for. I love the daily report cards, that is such a blessing, so I don’t feel like I need to bother the front desk checking up on my cat for an update.

~Lisa

Doogie seemed to enjoy his stay after he warmed up to the other dogs.

I will always recommend my friend to board their pets with you.

~Cathleen

I appreciate the time the staff explained policies and made me feel comfortable bringing my cat marshmallow to the facility. They took time to answer my questions, which was much appreciated!! We will definitely return!

Thank you!

Doggy daycare wears our pups out which is great when you work all day and are worn out yourself.

~Jeanne

We feel very confident that Abby is well taken care of when she stays with you.

~Dorothy

My dog Murphy attends Day School at Barrington Pet Resort when I’m away at work. Everyone is so nice and caring, you can tell they genuinely love pets. He has a blast!! I know the socialization, and mental and physical stimulation is so good for him when I can’t be around to do it. I love the daily report cards I get letting me know what he was doing and commands he was practicing that day. Great family business, highly recommend!!
