Local News
Central Bark is the best! We started our Pyrenees/lab mix pup, Jasper, in daycare and he has truly blossomed. He is naturally a shy, anxious, and sensitive pup and has a hard time meeting new people. The staff have been so patient, kind and gentle with him. It is really helping grow his confidence and we see him making huge strides out and about in town!
The staff and other clients are always so pleasant to chat with at drop offs and pickups which makes it feel like a sweet little community. Getting to go pick up Jasper at Central Bark is the best part of our day!
They also can accommodate our busy work schedules with early (6:30am) drop offs and late (7pm) pick ups. We are so grateful for the whole Asheville team!

Our golden gals loved central bark! We did too! The staff is warm and welcoming! The place is spotless! We’ll be back for sure!!! Highly recommend!
Our dog has been going to Central Bark for overnight stays, daycare twice weekly and training classes. She has grown so much and loves every minute of being there! The owners are incredible and the entire staff treats the dogs as if they were their own, truly. Could not reccomend more!
We LOVE Central Bark for daycare for our young pup Opie. He is always happy to walk in and greet everyone, he comes home tired, and most importantly, the interactions we and he have with the team here are outstanding. The loving attention they show to the pets in their care is evident in every interaction with the pups and their human counterparts. The special touches like birthday photo and options for fun add-ons during daycare days are the cherry on top.
Took our senior dog for boarding for the day. Easy access if you are visiting The Biltmore for the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the facilities well equipped with toys, bedding, and supplies?
Central Bark® has plenty of Kongs®, tennis balls and other toys for everyone. The dogs could ask for nothing more!
What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
What should I look for in a dog groomer?
An essential characteristic of a dog groomer is someone who makes you and your dog feel safe and comfortable.
Other things to look for:
- Certifications – Groomers don’t need a license or certification to work. Still, these accreditations are often signs that the groomer has the necessary training and experience to care for your pup.
- Experience with different breeds – Look for a groomer with experience with a variety of breeds and coats and the standard haircut for your dog’s breed.
- Preparedness – A groomer should work with dogs of all ages and levels of experience with grooming. They should aim to help each dog feel as comfortable as possible with the grooming process. Suppose the dog or puppy becomes anxious or uncomfortable. In that case, the groomer should be able to suggest a plan for increasing their comfort over time with the use of a positive reward-based approach.
