I cannot say enough wonderful things about Torque’s recent groom with Rawley at Central Bark Oakdale. Torque looks absolutely incredible, and this is genuinely the first time in a very long time that I’ve been completely happy with his groom. The attention to detail, the quality of the work, and the overall care he received truly stood out. His coat is clean, well-shaped, and so well maintained—you can tell real care and skill went into every detail.
Torque was extremely nervous at drop-off, which always makes me nervous as an owner, but Rawley was so patient, calm, and understanding with him. By the time I picked him up, he was a completely different dog—happy, comfortable, and relaxed. He even gave Rawley a kiss goodbye, which says everything about the trust and bond Rawley was able to build with him.
He didn’t just look good, he felt good, and that means the world to me. It’s clear that Rawley truly cares about the dogs he works with and treats them with kindness and respect, especially those who may be nervous.
We will absolutely be requesting Rawley for all future grooms and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a groomer who goes above and beyond—not just in appearance, but in the overall experience. 🐾🎄✨

Fantastic Service & Staff! Take It From My Buddie & Me!
FREE puppy socialization hour every Saturday! Great place for your pup to meet other dogs and learn how to behave appropriately. Multiple areas depending on your dog’s size and activity level; each area is well staffed and monitored.
Great experience at Central Bark. Very friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back!
We had such a positive experience with Central Bark through their free Saturday puppy socialization classes! We brought our puppy, Parker, every weekend, and it was an incredible way for him to learn appropriate play and build confidence.
The owners and staff were truly amazing! Very welcoming, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. They carefully supervised the different size and play groups, making sure every puppy was safe, supported, and having fun. It was clear how much they genuinely care about the dogs in their care.
Parker absolutely loved it! While we started out coming for puppy socialization, we would happily consider using their daycare or boarding in the future when the need comes up! We highly recommend Central Bark to anyone looking for dog care!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best puppy food?
Puppies have unique nutritional needs that require specially formulated food to keep them healthy and happy as they grow. The best food for your puppy will depend on their dietary needs, breed, and personal preferences.
Every item in our Central Bark® Market is specially selected to enhance your puppy’s physical health and nutrition, and provide enrichment, happiness, and comfort. We can help you choose from our selection of healthy and nutritious food to help your puppy develop so they can enjoy a long and happy life with your family.

What is dog boarding?
Dog boarding gives your dog a safe and comfortable place to spend the night when they can’t be home overnight. It can last for just one night or for a week or more at a time.
At Central Bark®, we offer Sleepovers to dogs enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care Program. Sleepovers at Central Bark® provide 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 included with your sleepover stay.
Our Stay-n-Play program (available at participating locations) offers boarding for dogs that have not enrolled in our day care program. Each overnight guest gets a restful night’s sleep, followed by a day of play, exercise, and plenty of TLC from our staff. Stay-n-Play guests sleep and play in their own designated areas.
How do I enroll in Central Bark Doggy Day Care?
It’s easy! Just find your local store and click Enroll Now to create your online account and complete our online registration form or call the location to speak with an associate.
To speed up the registration process, please have available: veterinarian contact information, an emergency contact (other than yourself or your partner), pet information & medical history, and credit card information (optional). We will ask you a series of questions about your dog’s training and social history. These questions help us get to know them and provide the best care possible.
Do you offer dog parties?
Yes! We love to celebrate our friends’ special days. You can schedule space in our facility to celebrate important moments in your dog’s life, from playdates to birthdays to Barkmitzvas. You can rent the space or have us plan and run your entire event.
