What Reviews Say
78 reviews analyzedCentral Bark Landover is highly regarded for its cleanliness, high-quality grooming services, and the genuine enthusiasm dogs show when arriving. However, there are significant polarizing experiences regarding management's handling of incidents, with some customers finding the owners defensive or lacking transparency during safety crises. While many regular clients feel their dogs are 'treated like royalty,' new or occasional customers frequently cite high costs and rigid fee structures as major drawbacks.

Worth noting
Physical injury/Dog attack
βMy pup was attacked by another dog... Janet (co-owner) was more concerned with covering their liability... I had to take her to the ER where it turns out she had more than one puncture wound.β
Alleged animal control retaliation
βA few days after I left a bad review the owner of this place called animal control on me because I wouldnβt pay $200 for dog grooming.β
Health concerns post-boarding
βWhen we picked up our pup, she was dehydrated and did not really seem like herself.β
Pricing and Fees(4 mentions)
βThey are very expensive and require at least one daycare day a week. If you stop bringing your pup for a month then they require a $40 behavior assessment.β
Front Desk/Customer Service(3 mentions)
βCustomer service is lacking specially at the front desk. Lady was very passive and dismissive to my requests.β
Lack of Transparency/Cameras(2 mentions)
βMost daycares in the area have live feeds... Without cameras or photos, itβs hard to say if they are taking in more dogs than they can handle.β
