The Barkmore Bowling Green

The Barkmore Bowling Green is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 1698 Brianna Ct in Bowling Green, KY.

Services and amenities

How dogs spend the day

Play groups are sorted by play style, age, and size instead of turning every dog loose together. Before a first stay, every dog completes a Meet & Greet temperament assessment, so staff know how a new dog handles a group before boarding or daycare begins. Owners who want to watch the day unfold can log into the webcams.

Staff and credentials

The Barkmore employs PACCC certified staff, including a Certified Professional Animal Care Manager and a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider. The team is also Fear Free Certified and Pet Tech Pet First Aid & CPR Certified, and the business is an IBPSA member. That mix of credentials is worth noting for owners of anxious dogs or dogs on daily medication.
