Before You Bark & Play: What You Need to Know

Spay & Neuter Policy
All dogs over 1 year old must be spayed or neutered to join daycare or boarding. If your pup has unique needs or circumstances, reach out—we’re happy to work with you to find the best solution.

Vaccination Requirements
To keep our pack safe and healthy, we require up-to-date vaccines for Rabies, Distemper/Lepto, and Bordetella. You can upload records to your client portal or have your vet email them to info@thebarkparkbham.com.

Social & Dog-Friendly Only
We’re a group play environment, ideal for dogs who enjoy being around others. Some barking is expected, but excessive or disruptive behavior may result in dismissal. We’re all about good vibes and happy tails.

Human Interaction
If your dog is shy or nervous, we’re here to help them adjust. If they've shown fear-based aggression toward people, please let us know in advance so we can plan for a safe, positive experience.

Temperament Testing
All new pups will complete a temperament test during their first visit (up to one hour) to ensure they’re a good match for our pack.
