Why Bed & Bark?

Designed from the ground up with expert guidance and industry-leading innovations. Being the best is not a goal — it's who we are.

🏡

Comforts of Home

Each suite is fully sealed, sound insulated, has individual filtered air supply, private outdoor turfed play yard, and a dedicated care specialist.

🎾

One-on-One Day Play

Each pup enjoys private, individual play sessions with our care staff in large turfed yards — welcoming dogs of all personality types safely.

💨

UV Air Purification

PetAirapy UV system kills 99.9% of all airborne viruses and bacterial pathogens — kennel cough, canine flu, distemper, coronavirus, and more.

🧱

Solid Sealed Walls

Walls between suites are solid, fully sealed — no urine or water flow between units. Stops fence-fighting behaviors and creates a calming den atmosphere.

🔥

Fire Prevention & Backup Power

Fully sprinkled building with 24-hour fire monitoring, noncombustible interiors, and a full generator backup system to run our entire facility indefinitely.

🌱

Eco-Friendly Design

Large windows for natural light, energy-efficient insulation, a well for irrigation, and our special macerator system that meets EPA's highest waste guidelines.
