While the staff at Central Bark has been lovely, the owner is quite dismissive and doesn't care about loyal customers or his business in general. I have been asking to speak with him for over a month with ZERO response. I find that extremely rude (and dumb from a business perspective). By not engaging or offering a simple reply, he is making regular loyal customers feel disrespected and unappreciated. Plus, his non-reply makes the statement that he only cares for his bottom line, not for his staff, and not for the humans or canines that he is offering a service to. Not only did he up the prices after a lengthy remodel, but he also made some truly awful business decisions that are throwing his business down the drain. I have offered to help him save his business from going under, but still no response. I truly feel awful for the staff, who are genuinely caring and are enthusiastic about what they do. Because of the owners apathy and unwillingness to show gratitude to his clientele, many of us regular loyal clients are being forced to find another doggy daycare facility that actually shows appreciation for their business. I am removing 4 stars in reply to the owners actions.

The new owner has you pay $25 per dog for a basic nail trim. Overpriced for basic spa services in our area. Just another franchise owner with several businesses who wants more money in his pocket.

What a great place to bring your pet. I just love how we walk in the door and they greet our dog by name and seem genuinely excited to see him. Our Marley always gets super excited as we pull down their street and up to the building! I would definitely recommend Central Bark!

Central Bark Grayslake is an excellent facility. The staff is friendly, professional and extremely dedicated to each of the puppies attending the day care. The facility is clean and very well managed. Central Bark Grayslake is a positive environment and my puppy loves her days there.

I’ve been taking our rescue here for nearly 2 years and am so satisfied with his care while there. Ali has really come out of his shell and blossomed. The staff takes great care of the dogs and he is worn out from play when he gets home. They even took him on very (same day) short notice for a 2 day sleepover when I had to go into the hospital to deliver my son; which my husband and I were so thankful for. Their booking system is really easy to use and they provide awesome photos of your pup to view on their Facebook page. Central Bark is highly recommended!

I brought my 15 year old toy poodle here for the first time today and they did an excellent job. My dog can be a little bit of a drama queen and they made sure she was comfortable and happy the whole time. Highly recommend!

My German shepherd pup could not be more excited to go to day care! He has a great time and comes home tired. I can also rest assured that the staff contacts me if there is something to be concerned about! They are amazing!
