We have trusted Bark with our two dogs for sometime now. They have taken care of them as we would. Whenever we drop them the dogs are so excited to play.

We have been going to bark Central for over 25 years. The dogs that we have now actually get so excited when we pull into the parking lot. The staff are very friendly and helpful and truly care about the dogs.

After trying several of the larger pet kennels for our dogs we have finally found one that I can recommend. Very friendly staff and our dogs have never come home with kennel cough, unlike other kennels we had used! Give them a try.
