A Day of Well-Being and Harmony

Our Fort Lauderdale doggy day care service offers a harmonious blend of play, exercise, socialization, education, rest, and tender loving care. Each day is carefully tailored to meet your dog’s distinct preferences and requirements, nurturing their physical, mental, and sensory well-being. This ensures you have a serene, cheerful, composed, and all-around balanced dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization – Engaging in physical activity aids your dog in maintaining optimal weight and muscle tone. It contributes to enhancing their mood and provides a healthy avenue for channeling both physical and mental energy. We offer a range of playgroups suited for various sizes, both indoors and outdoors, allowing your dog to partake in an appropriate social setting.
  • Rest – Amidst play and social interactions, the opportunity to rest, unwind, and rejuvenate is essential for your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional vitality. Our daily schedule is designed to help dogs avoid undue overstimulation, achieving an optimal equilibrium between rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning – Dogs glean knowledge from humans and their fellow canines. In conjunction with our guidance, dogs also teach each other about appropriate social conduct. Our adept staff employs positive training methods to encourage safe play and assist your dog in mastering wholesome social behaviors during their time at day care.
  • Affection – Your dog becomes a cherished member of our Fort Lauderdale doggy day care community, receiving abundant affection and care in your absence. We foster a bond with your dog to instill comfort and confidence. Through regular attendance, we develop a profound understanding of your dog’s disposition, requirements, and inclinations.

Dedication to Well-being and Security

At the forefront of our concerns lies the well-being and security of our visitors. As devoted dog parents ourselves, we take pride in extending the same care to every dog as we would to our own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Central Bark handle feeding for my dog during the day?

For dogs attending day care, a midday meal is generally not necessary or recommended. Dogs receive treats and Rest Period Enrichments throughout the day at no additional charge. However, if your dog needs to follow a specific feeding schedule, such as eating three meals a day, our team can accommodate those needs. For boarding stays, dogs are fed according to the instructions provided by their pet parents. Be sure to share any feeding requirements, allergies, medications, or other special care needs with your local Central Bark team.

How do I enroll in Central Bark dog day care?

Start by finding your local Central Bark and selecting Book Now. You can create or access your online account and follow the prompts to book your first service. Your local team will guide you through any required enrollment steps before your dog begins day care.

Can puppies go to dog day care, and when can they start?

Puppies may participate in dog day care once they meet the age, vaccination, health, and enrollment requirements of their local Central Bark. Early positive experiences can play an important role in healthy social development, so our goal is to introduce puppies to appropriate experiences at the right stage. Requirements may vary by location and local regulations, so contact your local Central Bark before scheduling a first visit.

How do I know if dog day care is right for my dog?

Dog day care can be a great fit for dogs who benefit from a structured routine that includes supervised play, enrichment, learning, rest, and social experiences. Every dog is different, so factors such as age, personality, energy level, play style, comfort around other dogs and people, and individual needs can help determine whether day care is the right fit. At Central Bark, we get to know each dog individually and use our enrollment and assessment process to help create an experience that supports their comfort, safety, and well-being.
