More Information
We take a limited number of small dogs at The Bark Inn. The dogs must be social as the environment is a free-running and social play environment. Dogs have their own spaces for sleeping. All dogs must be up-to-date on all vaccinations.
We encourage you to bring your dog’s own food to reduce the stress on their system with a change of environment and routine, however, we provide a meal service at extra charge if it is not practical to provide your own.
Please visit our website for full details on pricing and other information.
Sleepovers
Our guests have the choice to lounge around inside on one of our comfy beds or couch while watching a movie or listening to music. They can rest on the deck outside or have a game with others in the play area or play park throughout the day while fully supervised.
We have rooms available so each dog has a dedicated space to sleep with their own bedding or one of our comfy beds during rest times, a selection of crates are available if your dog is used to being crated at night - Click here for more info
