Absolutely! The doors to each wing of the boarding facility is equipped with a viewing window for you to see the kennel area.

Most dogs are nervous, shaking and unsure of who all these “strangers” are and what is going to happen next. We don’t want your dog, or any of our boarders, to feel this way during their stay at Bark Central!
Everyone has different expectations or certain ideas of how they want their dog groomed. Proper communication is essential in a relationship between you, the groomer, and the animal she is grooming. Please call for grooming appointments, questions and pricing. Our groomer is normally here Sundays-Thursdays for your convenience.
