🐾 Your best friend deserves the best days.

Doggy daycare isn’t just about playtime — it gives dogs the opportunity to stay active, burn energy, socialize, and enjoy a fun change of scenery while you’re busy. 💚

At Barker’s, our goal is to make every daycare day something your pup can look forward to.

Whether they’re here for the zoomies, the friendships, or just a really good day of play… we’re here for it. 🐶

We had such a fun time bringing Barker’s out into the community for a little Halloween celebration. 🎃🐾
Our team got to meet local pet parents, hand out samples and goodies, take some festive photos, and spend time with plenty of adorable pups.
Community events like this are one of our favorite ways to connect with the families around us and share a little bit of what Barker’s is all about. 💚
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made the day so much fun. We’re already looking forward to the next community event!

🚀👽 Last call for our Astro-Dog photos!
Our pups have been looking seriously out of this world, and tomorrow is the final day for this seasonal photo setup. 🛸🐾
If your dog still needs their official Barker’s space mission portrait, ask our front desk team for details before the aliens head back home. 😂
We’ve loved seeing all of our little astronauts this season! 💚

Today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day 🐾

It’s a good reminder that regular movement, enrichment, and play can all be part of helping dogs stay active and engaged.
At Barker’s, that can look like fetch, chasing toys, social play, enrichment activities, or just a really good round of zoomies. 😄🎾
The best part? To the dogs, it doesn’t feel like exercise — it just feels like fun.
Every dog has different needs, so pet parents should always work with their veterinarian when it comes to weight and overall health. But one thing we love seeing every day is how much joy movement and play can bring.
Happy bodies, happy tails. 💚

Some dogs want to run all day. Others prefer a slower pace, familiar friends, and a little extra patience. ❤️
That’s exactly why we created our Selective Daycare Senior Lounge.
Bentley is 12 and blind, Pipoca is 12, and Buddy is 14. They may not play the same way younger dogs do, but they still deserve companionship, enrichment, and the chance to socialize.
Our Selective Daycare program allows us to create smaller, more compatible groups based on each dog’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level.
For these three, that means calm social time, extra supervision, and a space where they can simply enjoy being part of the group. 🐾
Because getting older shouldn’t mean missing out.

Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them! If you feel led to donate to the cause, please use this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-tornadoaffected-dogs-in-sanger
