Central Bark Madison Southeast

My dog Beau has been going to Central Bark Madison for four years now: two days of daycare a week, plenty of sleepovers, nail trims, and even the occasional bath. They are THE BEST! The staff are incredible: they know their stuff, they truly love the animals, and most importantly, they know each dog and what they need to thrive. Beau is a wonderful boy with a big personality, but he does need some management to be his best self, and the team has always taken amazing care of him while balancing the needs of the group.

I’d like to start out with saying, I found Central Bark by accident, and it’s one of the best things that’s happened for me and my pup!

Our dog Odin loves going to Central Bark Madison. All the staff are very caring and really seem to love the dogs who are in their care. I see them give extra love and pets as the dogs arrive and/or get picked up. And the staff often give the dogs nicknames out of their fondness of the dogs. He was even included in dressing up for pictures the week of Halloween. 👻 Odin hates having his nails done at home but Central Bark groomers have no issue, it’s such a relief and very convenient to have this service available to us.

Love this place! Our Shepherd has been going 6 years (daycare and occasional overnights) We also recommend their grooming services. Only possible because of their exceptional staff!

Our dog, Phinneas, has been at Central Bark for daycare enrichment and occasional boarding for over six years. He love the place and people and they have taken great care of him. We couldn't be more satisfied.
