What Reviews Say

291 reviews analyzed

City 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.

Worth noting

Wrong dog released to owner/friend

β€œshe was given the wrong dog who looked very similar... an unfamiliar dog had been brought back and left in our house.”

Unsupervised bullying/neglect in play yards

β€œMy dog was trying to get away but would be pinned on his back and dragged by his ears by this bully dog. The one attendant on their phone, not paying attention.”

Undisclosed crating due to understaffing

β€œThey state their daycare if all day play however their video showed our dogs crated for several hours. When I called... I was told they were short staffed.”

Medical injury/Lack of notification

β€œhis back was injured... We were never notified that anything happened while he was there... emergency vet said he had a bulging disc.”

Long wait times for drop-off/pickup(12 mentions)

β€œIt routinely takes about 20 minutes to pick up or drop off a dog because they are understaffed.”

Hygiene and Odor(8 mentions)

β€œWalked in and the whole place stank of urine horribly... dog hanging out in the reception area that kept peeing on the floor.”

Communication/Phone responsiveness(15 mentions)

β€œThey do not answer the phone. I had to call them FOUR DOZEN times for them to finally pick up.”

Grooming scheduling errors(6 mentions)

β€œScheduled it 3 weeks in advance... after 5 hours they tell me they need 2 more hours. They hadn’t even started yet!”
