A Healthy Balanced Day

In our Jacksonville doggy day care service, we offer a harmonious blend of play, physical activity, socialization, educational opportunities, relaxation, and tender care. Each day is meticulously tailored to accommodate your dog’s individual preferences and requirements, fostering their physical, mental, and sensory wellness. This ensures that you have a well-rounded, content, and harmonious companion at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Engaging in physical activities helps your dog maintain a healthy weight, build muscle tone, uplift their spirits, and channel their energy positively. We offer a variety of playgroups tailored for different sizes, available both indoors and outdoors, to encourage appropriate social interactions.
  • Rest: In the midst of play and socialization, we ensure your dog has ample time to rest, relax, and recharge. Our daily schedule is carefully designed to strike the perfect balance between periods of rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning: Dogs learn from both humans and their fellow canine companions. Our expert staff employs positive training methods to promote safe play and assist your dog in mastering healthy social behaviors during their day care experience.
  • Affection: Your dog becomes a cherished member of our Jacksonville doggy day care community, receiving abundant love and care while you’re away. We establish a strong bond with your dog to provide comfort and confidence, gaining a deep understanding of their personality, needs, and preferences through regular attendance.

Dedication to Well-being and Security

The utmost priority for us is the safety and well-being of our guests. As devoted dog parents ourselves, we extend to every dog the same level of care and attention that we offer to our own.

Nope! We got you covered! Most dogs will not need any bedding for a single day of day care. If your dog is boarding with us, see our Sleepover Guidelines. As far as treats and toys, we have plenty! Please ask about which toy and treat products are available.

What is dog grooming?

Dog grooming helps keep your dog clean, healthy, and comfortable. It can include anything from a simple brush-out or bath to a full spa day, complete with a grooming session and nail care. 

All dogs are unique. Just like humans, your dog deserves personalized grooming for their size, breed, coat type, and condition. Please ask an associate for details.

Make a reservation for your dog’s grooming session.

Is boarding stressful for dogs?

Sleeping in a new or unfamiliar environment can be stressful for some dogs. That’s why we offer sleepovers to dogs already enrolled in our Enrichment Day Care. 

Sleepovers at Central Bark® offer your dog a calm, relaxing sleepover in a place they can feel comfortable and loved. Because they’re in a familiar place, they can feel less stressed about being away from home (and so will you). A full day of Doggy Day Care is complimentary with your sleepover, so your dog can play with their friends after a good night’s rest.
