What Reviews Say
61 reviews analyzedCentral Bark Oakdale is an exceptional dog care facility with an overwhelmingly positive reputation—59 of 61 reviews are 5-star. The free Saturday puppy socialization program, quality grooming services (especially Rawley and Brittany), and hands-on owners Angie and Chris receive consistent praise. The facility is described as clean, modern, and safe with small group sizes and thoughtful supervision. Communication through daily report cards and photos is a standout feature. The only notable red flag is a single 1-star review from a customer dissatisfied with grooming service refusal and scheduling issues, which appears to be an isolated incident given the otherwise perfect ratings.

Worth noting
Groomer refused to perform paid teeth cleaning service and lectured owner about veterinary dental procedures, then created scheduling conflict at follow-up appointment
“She didn't do the teeth cleaning because they don't do any good. She then continues to lecture me that I must take my dog to the vet to be put under anesthesia and get his teeth cleaned @ $800 - $1000 per cleaning.”
High energy dogs may be crated part of the day for small group play
“our dog is very high energy and they crated him half the day and he played the other half of the day, which is standard so that the dog play group sizes are small”
