For the safety and wellbeing of all dogs, we do not house dogs together—even if they are from the same household. This allows us to properly monitor each dog’s eating, rest, and overall comfort while they’re in our care.
To help maintain a safe and healthy environment, all dogs must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella vaccinations. Vaccines must be administered at least 10 days prior to entering the facility.
No. We thoughtfully accommodate each dog’s individual social needs. Whether your dog enjoys playing with other dogs, prefers one-on-one time with staff, or thrives through enrichment and solo activities, we ensure they’re supported in a way that feels comfortable and appropriate for them.
Absolutely. Administering medications and caring for dogs with special needs is part of the attentive, individualized care we provide at Barktown. We’re happy to work closely with you to ensure your dog’s needs are met.
We provide everything your dog needs for a comfortable stay, including cots, beds, blankets, clean bowls, toys, and treats. You’re welcome to bring familiar personal items such as a favorite blanket or toy if it helps your dog feel more at home.
The only thing we require is that your dog arrives with their own pre-portioned meals from home. If your dog happens to run out of food during their stay, we’re happy to provide meals as needed.
No. We welcome dogs whether they are spayed/neutered or intact. Please note that a dog’s reproductive status may impact which social or enrichment options are appropriate during their stay, as we always prioritize safety and comfort for every dog.
