Today I had the pleasure of meeting Peggy Farrell-Kidd, the owner, together with her husband Bruce, of one of Broadview Heights Ohio's newest businesses:
Central Bark Doggy Day Care
Conveniently located at 3001 Towpath Rd, off Broadview Rd. just south of Edgerton, I think it will be THE place to take your four legged best friends. Peggy will officially open her doors on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009 and I wish her every success. It would appear that she has left no stone unturned when comes to the very best care for your beloved pet.
Here's a typical day at Central Bark (may vary slightly)
- 6:30 -8:00AM Dogs are checked in and their belongings put into their cubicles, while they wait in their individual rooms for play to begin
- 8:00-11:30AM Fetching, chasing games, wrestling, "A" - frame climbing, tunnel running and more
- 11:30 AM -12:00PM Individual attention, special needs, feeding, snack time, etc.
- 12:00-2:00PM Nap Time with lights out and classical music as dogs rest in individual cages
- 2:00 - 4:30PM Exercise... a slightly slower paced version of the morning activities involving more one-on-one attention and play
- 4:30-5:00PM Individual attention...special time for back scratching and cuddling,dinner for overnight guests and a quick tidying up before going home
- 5:00-6:30PM Chill out/pick up time...Each dog is crated for an unwinding period before the owner arrives
Please visit Central Bark's website for more information or call or e-mail Peggy to speak with her directly at broadviewhts@centralbarkusa.com or 440-526-2276

Okay, this has got to be one of the coolest doggy hang out post I have ever seen. What a great facility. My kids would love visiting a place like this just to watch the pets play (LOL).
Carolyn, It's amazing and I could tell as soon as I walked in how excited the owner is to have this business and it is the only one in this community.
The only one? Wow! I'd be excited too. What a fantastic opportunity! I hope you do a follow up. I'd love to see how they're doing down the road (or even next week - LOL).
I plan on it. In 30-45 days she will be having a grand opening so I told her to be sure and let me know and I will do a follow up.
Awesome. I am sooo looking forward to it. Put me on your waiting list of people to remind. :-)
You know I will!
Hi Barb,
What a great place! And I love the name. I think they're definitely on to something, and they seem to be doing it right. Too many places that boards pets just stick them in cage and that's about it. This is the kind of place you don't mind leaving your pets. I wish them the best of luck.
: )
Hi Michael. It really is impressive with lots of interaction and love for the dogs.
I am a very satisfied Central Bark customer. As anyone can see from their website, this is a top notch facility. When you call or visit and meet Peggy and Bruce you quickly learn these are great people running the show! I love logging on to their website and clicking on the photo gallery tab to see my dog Blitz and his buddies having a GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!
I am a Broadview Heights resident and I am so glad I found this local doggy day care. I think this is a wonderful option for high energy pups like Blitz.
Peggy and Bruce are great at taking action shots and getting them posted to the web very quickly and that allows me a chance to "check up" on my boy while I'm at work.
Hi Anna, Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. I really enjoyed meeting Peggy and I could immediately see her enthusiasm for her work. It must be very reassuring to know that Blitz is being loved and cared for! And I think it's great for Broadview Heights as I am a resident also!
