What Reviews Say
258 reviews analyzedBark and Board receives high praise for its cleanliness, training programs (specifically under Craig), and the visible excitement dogs show when arriving. However, the facility has a history of severe safety lapses, including a fatal heat stroke incident and a viral video of staff misconduct. While many customers are loyal, there are significant recurring issues regarding medication administration, grooming wait times, and inconsistent front-desk professionalism.
