Frequently Asked Questions

How does Central Bark mentally stimulate a dog?

Central Bark provides a balanced day of play, learning, rest, and love. Dogs in Enrichment Day Care practice social skills and Group Play Skills, while additional enrichment can engage their minds through activities that encourage learning, problem-solving, exploration, and appropriate use of their senses. Optional services such as Training Tutor and One-on-One Enrichment can provide additional mental stimulation.

What products do you sell?

Central Bark locations offer a selection of dog products that may include enrichment toys, puzzles, chews, treats, food, collars, waste bags, and other everyday dog essentials. Product selection varies by location, so contact your local Central Bark to learn what’s currently available.

What is the difference between dog day care and a dog walker or staying home alone?

Dog day care provides a structured environment where dogs can receive supervised social experiences, enrichment, activity, learning, and rest throughout the day. A dog walker typically provides a shorter period of exercise and individual attention, while staying home offers a quieter environment with more time alone. The best choice depends on your dog’s personality, routine, health, and individual needs.

What vaccinations does my dog need for dog day care or boarding?

Dogs attending day care or boarding must meet Central Bark’s current health and vaccination requirements before participating. Specific requirements can vary based on age, service, location, and local regulations. Your local Central Bark can provide the exact records needed before your dog’s first visit or stay.
