Central Bark® Gears Up to Open its First Dog Care Location in Connecticut's Danbury

Central Bark® Expands into New England

Central Bark®, a leading franchise in dog care services, is excited to announce its upcoming opening in Danbury, Connecticut. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the franchise as it enters the twelfth state in its growing network. With its unique approach to whole dog care and enrichment, the new facility aims to cater to the needs of pets and their owners in the region.

Set to open in early 2025, the Danbury location will be conveniently situated near the Danbury Fair Mall, making it easily accessible for dog owners looking for top-notch pet care options. The franchise is spearheaded by Carol O'Donnell Martin, who brings an impressive background in operations, community engagement, and finance. Martin's journey into dog care started as a side project where she discovered her passion while walking dogs, ultimately leading her to embrace the opportunity to franchise with Central Bark.

"My experiences with dogs have greatly enhanced my well-being, and I want to provide that uplift to our community here in Connecticut," said Carol. She believes that Central Bark’s unique dog care service will fulfill an essential need for dog owners in Danbury. Carol's vision includes creating a strong community among dog owners and collaborating with local pet-related non-profits to expand support for animal welfare.

Central Bark’s philosophy revolves around providing a balanced and enriching experience for dogs. Their services combine expert dog day care with the latest advancements in canine behavioral science, ensuring that every pup enjoys a comprehensive support system for their physical and mental well-being. Activities are thoughtfully designed to cater to the varying needs of dogs, featuring exercise, socialization, learning opportunities, and downtime—everything a dog needs to thrive.

The Danbury facility will encompass an indoor space of around 6,000 to 7,000 square feet, alongside a spacious outdoor play area exceeding 2,000 square feet. These areas will host various engaging activities, including small play groups, skill development sessions, and personal enrichment time. By maintaining smaller class sizes, Central Bark ensures that each dog receives ample attention and care from trained enrichment specialists.

Dr. Tim Weiderhoft, Chief Operating Officer of Central Bark, shared his enthusiasm about the new location. "Carol is an incredible addition to our growing franchise family. We take pride in revolutionizing the dog care industry with our innovative enrichment programs and now look forward to sharing that with the Danbury community."

With over two decades of experience, Central Bark has successfully attracted dogs and their owners to their distinct dog care services, hosting over two million visits across more than 40 locations nationwide. Their commitment to high-quality care is further highlighted by their smaller dog-to-caregiver ratios, reinforcing a personalized experience tailored specifically for each dog.
