Welcome to Central Bark USA® Whole Dog Care Services
There’s no bond like the one we share with our furry best friends. Our beloved dogs deserve the best, but it can be challenging to fulfill all their needs.

Our Whole Dog Care approach aims to nurture and enrich your pup’s overall health and well-being throughout their entire life. The heart of this approach is our Enrichment Dog Day Care program. We also offer dog services like dog boarding, baths, grooming, merchandise, training, and more. Everything to help you and your pup live fully.
We know that dogs aren’t just LIKE family — they ARE family. As dog parents ourselves, we take great pride in treating each and every dog like they’re our own.
