Requirements

In order to keep Bark Louisville a fun and safe environment, all kids must meet the following requirements:

Temperament Evaluation

All new kids must pass an on-site temperament evaluation. Since all dogs are off-leash and cage-free in the play areas, aggressive or toy-possessive dogs are not accepted. Temperament evaluations are conducted by Bark Louisville staff on your kid’s first visit. Bark Louisville staff would kindly appreciate a phone call or email prior to your dog’s first stay.

All dogs must be up-to-date on current vaccinations including:

  • DHPP
  • Rabies
  • Bordetella

Bark Louisville must receive proof of current vaccinations in conjunction with your kid’s first stay. You or your vet may email proof of vaccinations to barklouisville@barklouisville.com.

  • Frontline or Frontline Plus
