Pearl, our Labradoodle, loves going to puppy daycare. She especially loves the pool. The staff is wonderful. Pearl also receives grooming services from Central Bark, and looks and smells delicious when she gets home.
We have had our two dogs at central bark for years and they absolutely love it. The staff treat them as family and are always flexible for last minute changes. Their grooming is done to a precise request! Even after moving further away, we still bring them.
We’ve been bringing Willow to Central Bark Madison for the past 1.5 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives! The staff are always so attentive to her, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about her. She gets an incredible amount of exercise, enrichment, and socialization—she is completely wiped out and passes out every night after daycare!
Willow has made so many friends there, and she absolutely loves the pool, all the pets, and, of course, the treats. What means the most to us is knowing that the staff treat Willow like she’s their own dog. As a dog owner, there’s no better feeling than knowing your dog is happy, loved, and well taken care of.
We’re so grateful to the entire Central Bark Madison team for taking such wonderful care of our girl. And they always get the best pictures of her! We highly recommend them!

I picked Central Bark originally because it’s very convenient to my office and I wanted somewhere for my Great Dane to get some socialization and fun while I was busy. Harley Quinn loves going to play with her friends. A few years later, we adopted a special needs Dane puppy, Winter, and really wanted her to be able to get the same benefits as her big sister. The staff there has been excellent with showing her the same attention and care, while communicating with me if she has issues. I’m so happy that both my girls can enjoy some time with their friends in an environment with staff who care for them as much as I do! I love hearing about their day and seeing their report cards/photos.
Very friendly! Our dog absolutely loves going to daycare here.
I can’t say enough good things about central bark. We started taking Pearl for puppy hour on Saturday mornings and enrolled her in daycare as soon as she was old enough. Pearl always comes home exhausted from all of the fun she has at daycare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer dog birthday parties?
Yes! We love to celebrate our dog friends’ birthdays. You can rent space in our facility to celebrate, then bring in your treats and decorations. Or you can have us plan and run your entire event.
Contact us to schedule your dog’s party!
What should I bring to Doggy Day Care?
Once you have enrolled, we will need a copy of your dog’s vaccination records, which you can upload to your online account or bring with you on your scheduled first day. We also ask that your dog comes in on a regular 6-foot flat leash (no retractable or flexi-leads in the lobby) and a quick-release collar. Not sure what a quick-release collar is? No problem! We’ll be happy to show you on your first day. If your dog usually wears a harness while walking, you’re welcome to bring that as well.
If your dog typically eats a midday meal, you can bring it in an airtight container clearly labeled with your dog’s first and last names.
What is dog day care?
Dog day care gives dogs a fun place to play with their friends while their owners are busy at home and work.
At Central Bark®, doggy daycare is our specialty, and nobody does it quite like us. We don’t just give dogs a place to play. We create a personalized program of activities that optimize your dog’s whole health – their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Central Bark goes beyond a traditional doggy day care with our unique Whole Dog Care philosophy. Our personalized approach helps enrich your dog’s whole health and well-being throughout their entire life so you can enjoy a healthy, happy, and loving life together.
The heart of our whole dog care approach is our Enrichment Doggy Day Care program. We combine Central Bark’s industry-leading doggy day care expertise with the latest dog behavior science. Our mission is to give dogs a balanced blend of exercise, social group play, learning, rest, and TLC. To help your dog be a healthy, happy, calm, and well-rounded member of your family.
What is the best dog food?
The best dog food will vary depending on each dog’s dietary requirements, medical needs, breed, and personal preferences.
Every item in our Central Bark® Market is specially selected to enhance your dog’s physical health and nutrition and provide enrichment, happiness, and comfort. We can help you choose from our selection of healthy and nutritious food that will give your pup the energy they need for a whole and happy life.
