After reading the negative comment posted about Central Bark I had to speak up! My husband and I have been taking our dogs to Central bark since they opened 4 years ago, on average about 3-4x per month with the exception of a one year period between when we had lost our first dog to cancer, and when we got a new puppy. I can't tell you how wonderful our experience has been. Every time I come in the staff greets me like I'm family, and greet my dog as if she is their own. She absolutely lights up when we pull in the parking lot, and flies through the door upon arrival. I watch the webcam and see the love they give her. She has stayed as many as 4 nights for boarding as well, and my experience was perfect. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my dog with my own adult kids! But Ben and his crew at Central Bark have proven that they are up to the task. Granted, 4 nights in a kennel environment does not make for a perfect smelling dog or dog bed, this much is obvious. But a quick bath (which they provide for a nominal fee) and some fabreeze and we're good as new. The amount of love and caring attention they have shown to me and my family over the last 4 years makes it impossible for me not to speak up when reading the negative review. Don't let one person's bad experience ruin the benefits of such a wonderful business for you. I can tell you with certainty that without Central bark our dogs would not be the same. It has taught them to approach other dogs gently (if not playfully) and not to fear strangers. It provides exercise and care when they'd otherwise be stuck at home. And it provides us needed stress relief from work when we get to watch the pups play online. Try Central bark -- you WONT be disappointed!
Pros: Best staff, hands down. Safe, secure, convenient, open every day.
