What Reviews Say

95 reviews analyzed

Bark Park is highly regarded for its affordable pricing, friendly staff, and the transparency provided by live webcams. While many long-term customers praise the facility for its care of reactive dogs and cleanliness, there are significant polarized experiences regarding safety. Recent critical reviews highlight serious red flags including medical emergencies, unexplained injuries, and a perceived decline in supervision quality following staff changes.

Worth noting

Ingestion of toxins/poisoning

β€œMy dog ate something poisonous at this facility... The results show otherwise. My dog ate something poisonous that effected her liver and almost killed her.”

Unexplained injuries and lack of accountability

β€œOur Rocky... came home with a terrible wound on his nose. When we picked him up, the staff had no idea what happened and blamed us.”

Failure to follow separation instructions leading to injury

β€œWe asked them at drop off that it’s a must [separate kennels]... They did not follow the directions and housed them together. Sure enough they fought and one of our dogs came home with a gash on his head.”

Health and weight loss concerns

β€œI received my dog back after a week skinny, with his ribs sticking out. He also had happy tail... and was bleeding everywhere.”

Hidden fees and billing disputes(3 mentions)

β€œThey charged me $25 fee for being 3 min late... they charged us for two days and play time that I did not approve.”

Communication and phone responsiveness(4 mentions)

β€œCalled for 2 hours with no answer... Not too good at answering the phone but they were probably with the dogs.”

Breed restrictions (Pit Bull mixes)

β€œThey don't allow dogs with any pit bull mixed in their breed into the 'social' area.”
