Central Bark Fort Walton Beach is an absolute gem for pet parents! My golden retriever, Max, comes here for daycare twice a week, and he literally drags me to the car every time. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive — they know Max by name and always send photos of him splashing around in the pool or napping in the cuddle zones. It’s clear they prioritize safety and fun, with clean facilities, engaging playgroups, and even personalized report cards on his day.

As a busy professional in the military, I really appreciate how flexible they’ve been with my unpredictable schedule. They even offer a military discount, which is such a thoughtful touch. Knowing Max is in such a loving and supportive environment gives me total peace of mind.

If you’re in the area, this is hands-down the best spot to let your furry friend thrive. Thank you, Central Bark Team!

Central Bark Fort Walton Beach has been an incredible find for me and my dog, Spot! The moment we pull into the parking lot, his tail starts wagging like crazy. The staff is so kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They know Spot by name and always send the sweetest photos of him playing with friends or lounging in the cuddle zones.

The facility is always spotless, safe, and full of happy, well-socialized pups. I love how they keep me updated throughout the day and even send personalized report cards about how Spot did. It’s obvious they truly care about every dog that comes through their doors.

If you’re looking for a place where your furry friend will be loved, cared for, and come home tired and happy, Central Bark is it. Thank you to the entire team for treating Spot like family! 🐾
