Welcome to Central Bark Manitowoc

At Central Bark Manitowoc, we know how special the bond is between humans and their dogs. We want to give them the best life possible, but we also know it can be challenging.

That’s why families trust Central Bark® Manitowoc to take care of their dogs. We want them to be healthy, happy, and well in every way. When your dog is with us, they’ll have an amazing day with their furry friends in a safe and loving place.

We use a Whole Dog Care approach that covers everything your dog needs throughout their life. Our Enrichment Dog Day Care program focuses on giving them mental and physical exercise. We also offer boarding, grooming, supplies, training, and more. The aim is to help you and your dog live the best life together.

We understand that dogs are not just “like” family; they are family. As fellow dog parents, we treat every dog as if they were our own. And we take pride in that.
