What Reviews Say
291 reviews analyzedCity Bark LoDo is a highly polarized facility that transitions between being a beloved 'home away from home' and a source of significant frustration for pet parents. While many long-term customers praise the enthusiastic staff and the outdoor pool, recent reviews highlight severe operational issues including understaffing, long wait times, and safety lapses like releasing the wrong dog. The new management appears highly active in responding to feedback and attempting to rectify service failures, but consistency in cleanliness and supervision remains a primary concern.
