You may use any collar or leash combo that keeps your dog under control; however, please refrain from using a retractable leash. A nylon/snap collar is the most efficient for our staff. Please remove harness’ before drop off.

Your dog will have to be boarded overnight in the Kennel for an additional boarding fee. You can pick your dog up the next day during hours of operation.

We’re pleased to provide a 20 percent discount for military and first responders for boarding and daycare.

You can use any of the orange buttons on our website to register your pet, or you can email us at scottsdale@thebarkingdogaz.com or call us at 480-434-6685.

Reservations are not required for daycare.

Yes. We’re happy to feed treats or meals that you’d like to send along! Please- no dental chews, pig ears, or bully sticks.

We strive to give the dogs a healthy balance of diversified play and rest time throughout their day! Our goal is to keep your pup occupied and tuckered out, not overly exhaust them.

All dogs, regardless of size, are provided with ample room to stretch out and get ‘comfy & cozy’. Resting pens have water bowls for your pet to rehydrate and reset in between playtimes.

Swim is included in daycare play so long as the weather permits. If you prefer your pet not be around our pool deck, please let the staff know upon drop off. On your first evaluation day, we will give you a report card that lets you know if your dog likes to swim, splash at the shallow end of our beach entrance pool, or if they avoid the water all together and prefer to romp around the deck. We do not force any dogs into the water.

We have a viewing window in the lobby to watch your pet romp and play in our pool deck. However, we do not have viewing areas for our indoor or outdoor play yards. We take a daily video of all our pups in group which are uploaded daily on the “videos” tab. You may also view photos/videos on our Facebook and Instagram page.

To make your dog comfortable, you can bring a t-shirt or something small that smells like home; a toy or two. We do offer food; but we suggest you bring your own so that your dog’s routine is not thrown off. (Placing it in zip-lock, pre-portion sized bags is very helpful). We do not accept beds from home as they are not made for our commercial grade washing and drying machines.
