As a pet-parents and pet enthusiasts, BAU house was a must on our recent trip to South Korea. We had heard about these types of places, and really wanted to go. Sunday morning we made the trek over to their location, which was surprisingly easy to find (Google maps will get you there no problem). The set up is a little funky, when you first walk in there is a small dog area/waiting area for humans. This is basically over flow for when they don't have tables in the main area available.
You will also have to buy a drink (aka admission fee). At $6-7 a pop, you are obviously paying for more than the drink. There is some light snacks available as well, but nothing to write home about. You will also need to buy treats. The dogs won't come near you if you don't have snacks for them. For the most part, they have all been there for a year plus and have learned what the sound of plastic means.
They are allowed to go anywhere they want. Don't worry about your clothing, BAU house does have lint rollers you can use when you leave.
The overall quality of care for the dogs, seemed ok. If you are from a country that holds pets at the same level as human children, you may be a little sad to go here. The dogs are for the most part (especially the big dogs) significantly over weight, and breeds that tend to have skin issues (bulldogs) do. They were all very, very happy and well socialized though. There was one senior dog who was really struggling with his back legs, and when the staff saw him, they immediately removed him to go rest. They definitely care about the dogs, but may be used to Korean standards of pet-care.
