Local News
They were great with my Sam. He’s usually scared of strangers, but they were able to get him to warm up to them. It was his first time at doggy day care ever, and we needed to find a place to keep him while we went on a crab island tour. Excellent service and at a great price! Thank you.
Love the staff and trainers here, especially Adrian who is very knowledgeable. They all seem to really care about the dogs.
Kobe (my Frenchie) acts like he works here now 😂 The second we pull up, he forgets I exist. That alone tells me everything I need to know.
The staff is amazing, super caring, and clearly loves the dogs. Kobe comes home exhausted, happy, and living his best life every time.
Honestly feels like I’m dropping him off at a doggy resort. 10/10 would recommend 🐶

Exceptional Care—Paws Down the Best!
Central Bark Doggy Day Care has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. As a veteran-owned business, they bring a level of professionalism, discipline, and care that truly sets them apart.
The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for the dogs’ comfort and safety. One of the things I appreciate most is how thoroughly they vet all dogs—it gives me complete peace of mind knowing my pups are in a safe, controlled environment.
Their grooming services are top-notch, and it’s incredibly convenient to have everything in one place. The location is easy and accessible, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups seamless.
What really stands out, though, is the customer care. The owners are attentive, reliable, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find this level of consistency and trustworthiness.
Paws down, I recommend Central Bark—nothing but the best for my dogs.

We unexpectedly were required to board our dog when we arrived at Ft Walton Beach. First time our dog required boarding. Called Central Bark and Joslyn answered and went way above and beyond to help us. She even stayed over closing time to accommodate our needs.
The facility was spotless clean. Received daily updates with pictures of our dog and his daily activities. I can’t express how pleased and thankful we were to locate such a great place. I would highly recommend Central Bark to anyone needing boarding facilities for their dog!
Thank you Joslyn!

Do groomers sedate dogs?
No. At Central Bark®, we never sedate dogs in our salon. Our expert groomers always aim to help your dog feel as calm and relaxed as possible during their bathing and grooming experience.
Suppose your dog has shown extreme stress or anxiety toward grooming in the past. In that case, we suggest speaking with a trusted veterinarian and one of our reward-based trainers about how we can best support your dog.

Is there a schedule of activities and safety rules?
