From Death’s Door to Wagging Tail: Central Bark Saved My Senior Dog!

I can’t thank Lenny and Central Bark enough for their incredible support with my 15.5-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, Max. After a tough journey with vet-recommended medications and a shot that led to severe seizures, I was at a loss. The seizures were heartbreaking, and I thought I might lose Max. A friend connected me with Lenny, who went above and beyond to help care for Max while I was at work, showing genuine compassion and dedication.

On Lenny’s recommendation, I tried Central Bark’s Senior Comfort Chews. Within a month, Max stopped having seizures, stopped whining, and started sleeping better—giving us both much-needed peace. These chews aren’t a cure-all, but they’ve transformed our quality of life. Lenny’s kindness and expertise make Central Bark a gem. I’ll be back soon for more chews and highly recommend them to anyone with a senior dog!

We were in town for the Mayo and my mom wanted to join me at an appointment but had her dog with her. This wonderful place was able to take her with very short notice and because it was only for a couple of hours, they even offered a discount off the full day price. Mom loved everything about the experience and the kind people working.

We dropped our dog, Indy, for the day while our son had surgery at Mayo. Central Bark is the best. As we waited for our dog at the end of the day, other dogs were coming out happy and full of energy; as was our Indy. Highly recommend them.
