OUR STORY
Founded on a dog walk
On a morning walk with our dogs, the idea of Bracebridge Bark House was born out of an awareness of the limited options for dog daycare in our home town.
Bracebridge Bark House was inspired by our profound love for dogs. We recognize that your dogs are more than just pets; they are family members. Located in the heart of Bracebridge, our family-operated dog daycare offers a safe and nurturing space for your dogs to play, learn, and flourish.

What sets us apart
Trained Professionals
At our facility, we understand the importance of trust when it comes to leaving your beloved pet in our care. We are committed to honouring that trust by ensuring that all our staff undergo comprehensive third-party training in dog care and behaviour. Your dog's well-being is our top priority, and we strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment.
Family Values
As a family-run business, we prioritize trust, compassion, and personalized attention in everything we do. We pride ourselves in our transparency and honesty with all customers. You'll never have to wonder what your dog is up to during the day.
