Once you have registered with us online you can upload proof of vaccination to your online profile or you can email, fax, or bring them to us. We also conveniently remind you when your vaccinations are coming due via online profile along with email and text message.

Does my dog have to be spayed or neutered to stay at city bark for boarding or to participate in doggy day care?
Your dog can be unneutered but an extra handling fee will be applied for $5 a day. Female dogs in heat are not permitted.
Can all of my dogs stay together in the same suite?

Yes, we always encourage dogs from the same household to bunk together, often they do better when they are with the same sibling or buddy. We offer a discounted rate for each additional sibling from the same family, who stay in the same suite. See the next question for additional details.

Do you give discounts for multiple pets?

Yes we do. For customers who are boarding multiple dogs with us we offer a 10% discounted rate for each additional sibling from the same family, on the same account, who stay in the same suite.

While my dog is boarding with you, will he be taken outside for walks?

Yes, we take the dogs out two times a day, one in the morning, and one in the evening. If you would like extra walks for your dog, you can add it to your reservation.

My pets like their own bed and toys, what are your policies for bringing our own stuff while boarding?
We allow boarding dogs to bring their own toys. A maximum of two toys is allowed. No rawhide types of toys, please. The toys will be kept in their suite and will not be used inside the doggy daycare area. We encourage you to NOT bring your own extra bedding because we already provide high-quality bedding, but you are allowed to bring your own.
My dog is on a special diet, can I bring my own food?
Absolutely, we WANT you to bring your dogs own normal food when your pup is staying with us. If you cannot bring food, ran out, or forgot, then we will be supplying your dog with our high-quality dog food for $2.75 per meal.
Are you able to administer medication if my dog needs it?
We can administer pills, lotions, topical ointments, and salves. We can NOT administer injections.

Medications must be clearly marked with your pet’s name and dosage. Please DO NOT premix medication into their food.

Is your hotel air-conditioned?
Yes, the entire facility is climate controlled so your pet(s) remain comfortable year-round. We also have a ventilation system that is designed to cut down on odor and cross-contamination of airborne particles in the facility.
Does city bark accept all breeds?
We believe dogs should be judged on behavior and not the breed. We love all dogs and do not discriminate based on breed, age, or size. All dogs are required to go through the Doggy Interview and Evaluation for Doggy Daycare group play.

We do not, however, accept dogs that are aggressive with people. We have a very hands-on facility that requires us to work closely with all of our guests and we cannot do that effectively if your dog is aggressive towards people. We also welcome dogs with special needs.
