Do we need to make a reservation?
We are no longer a walk-in daycare and require a reservation for daycare. Note: that arrival without confirmation of reservation is subject to a fee of $10 if we have available capacity. This will guarantee a spot for the day as we have a max capacity of 50 dogs per day. This allows us to staff the proper amount of attendants for the day and to make sure dogs are taken care of safely.
Dogs must be dropped off prior to 10:30am or a $10.00+tax late drop off will apply. There is a $30+tax charge for any late pickups past 6:30pm. If your dog is not picked up by 6:40pm and we have exhausted all contacts, we have the right to board your dog and you will be charged for the overnight boarding fee of $80.
Dogs that have not attended daycare for over 6 months will be required to complete a first day trial to ensure that your dog is comfortable with our routines.
What Vaccines are Required?
Vaccinations are required for all dogs.

DHLLP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus)
Titer Test results will be accepted with proper identifying due dates for each vaccinations.
Proof of vaccinations can be emailed to cbdoggydaycare@gmail.com, hard copy brought with you on the first day or you may upload the documents onto your Gingr profile.

Heartworm medication.
Please be aware that even with vaccinations, dogs can still be infected with certain viruses much like the flu for humans. We will not be responsible for any infectious diseases that may occur inside or outside our facilities. If your dog is found to have lice, fleas, or ticks in our daycare, a cleaning fee may apply. We do require that dogs get vet recommended medication and are not to return to daycare for min. 21 days after administration. (please see info below.)
There should be a 7 days waiting period after your dog has had his/her vaccinations to allow the vaccines to reach full protection potential and to ensure my dog has not had any negative reaction to the vaccines.
Central Bark will accept all breeds of dogs of all ages with full vaccinations. A veterinary clearance letter may be accepted for daycare.

We do not charge extra for feedings. If you would like us to feed your dog during the day, we do require you bring a container with their name on it so we can return the container. Raw is allowed. We provide water throughout the day in daycare.

Does my dog need to be Spayed/Neutered?
All dogs over the age of 6 months must be spayed/neutered. Once your dog reaches 6 months, you are more than welcomed back once they are spayed/neutered. If your dog is exhibiting signs of aggression or goes into heat during daycare hours we reserve the right to place them in our time out area and will contact you for pick-up. Dog that have been spayed or neutered, will be required to wait min. 10 days of surgery before coming into daycare as we cannot guarantee stitches will stay intact during play.

If your dog is injured and requires vet attention, we reserve the right to connect with VCA Western Veterinarian for the best course of action for your dog. Dogs who make mouth to human contact and causes injury will be dismissed.
Please see daycare waiver for veterinary care costs.
How do you separate the dogs in the play area?
What is unique about Central Bark is that we do not separate our packs by size.. but by energy levels! We believe that in assessing our packs on their first day, we can make sure everyone plays nice big or small!
Do you offer outdoor time?
Yes! We provide potty breaks in our attached outdoor area behind our building.
Weather permitting, we offer trips to our private fenced in off leash park. During muddy days, we may still go to the off leash park. We cannot guarantee that your dog will go home clean due to the conditions of our off leash park. You can book a Exit Bath at time of drop off at an additional cost. Click here for Exit Bath description.
If you would like us not to take your dogs to the off leash park, we can walk them on the pathway at an additional cost of $5.00+tax. Please let us know, when your dog is dropped off.
Your dog must have name tags (with name and phone number) and be registered with the City of Calgary. If your dog does not have the required tags they will not be taken off the premises. No exceptions!
For the safety of our dog walkers, dogs who are not leashed trained on walks will be limited to outdoor potty breaks in our attached yard.
These are areas that your dogs may come into contact with dogs that may or may not be vaccinated. We will not be responsible for any infectious diseases that may occur.
