Local News
Great local veteran owned & operated company! My dogs, Opie & Lyla love this place! If you’re looking for a safe & fun environment for your pups, this is the place to go. We’ve used their day care, boarding & grooming services and all were top-notch… 10/10, would recommend! Thank you Central Bark, keep up the great work!
Awesome staff and facility. Great grooming services also. It is my go-to place when my Great Pyrenees needs to stay for a few days when I go out of town.
aniel and Jossalyn were so welcoming when I visited their location! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and made every pup feel safe while having fun. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else, you guys are the best!
Love the staff and trainers here, especially Adrian who is very knowledgeable. They all seem to really care about the dogs.
I can’t say enough good things about Central Bark! The team is professional, friendly and treats my dog like family. My pup always runs in excited and comes home calm and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do!
Today was my first visit to Central Bark, and it was a great experience. I called to schedule an appointment, someone answered right away, and I was able to walk in the same day. My pup had his ears and teeth cleaned and his nails trimmed, and everything went smoothly. I’ll definitely be returning soon. 🐾
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a schedule of activities and safety rules?
Yes. Our day is broken up into areas of play, rest, feeding and more. And we always keep a watchful eye on canine good manners.
Can I stay with my dog at the groomers?
You do not need to stay with your dog during their grooming appointment. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience. If your pup is feeling a little unsure, ask our training team about ways to enrich their experience and help create positive associations by using positive reward-based training methods.

Is boarding stressful for dogs?
Sleeping in a new or unfamiliar environment can be stressful for some dogs. That’s why we offer sleepovers to dogs already enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care.
Sleepovers at Central Bark® offer your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is complimentary with your sleepover, so your dog can play with their friends after a good night’s rest.
