The Bark Spot began with a simple mission: to treat every dog like royalty. With nearly two decades of experience in pet care, our business grew from a single dog grooming room to a dog resort with multiple locations in Northern Utah. We pair professional expertise with a genuine love for animals, creating a place where families from across Utah can trust for luxury boarding, enrichment-based daycare, and spa-like dog grooming sessions for their beloved pups. Our business is your peace of mind.
We create safe, enriching, stress-free environments where dogs rule and live their best lives, and memberships keep pets pampered. Schedule a tour of our facilities today!
We believe that every dog deserves the royal treatment, and every dog owner deserves total peace of mind. That core promise has shaped everything we do, creating a business built on these core principles:
Safety First: Your dog’s health and security always come before convenience. We have 24/7 monitoring, enforce vaccination requirements, and offer climate-controlled suits to keep dogs comfortable day and night. We also partner with local vets to ensure we can get care for a dog if and when they need it.
Daily Enrichment: Dogs thrive when their minds and bodies stay engaged. We use rotating indoor and outdoor play packs customized to your dog’s energy level and size. Dogs can enjoy brain games, snuffle mats, obstacle courses, and more, all under the close supervision of our handlers.
Compassionate Care: Low-stress handling and expert care will leave your dog feeling relaxed and looking their best. We use fear-free inspired techniques to work with the dogs in our care, and our staff undergo continuous training and education to build their dog-handling skills.
Unmatched Luxury: We create resort amenities that make pups (and their humans!) feel pampered and welcome. That includes private suites for boarding pups, luxury products, and a modern setup that goes beyond the classic kennel.
Highly-Trained Dog Groomers: Bark Spot dog groomers are highly trained. They learn about fear-free handling techniques, canine first aid, and behavior-reading skills that keep dogs feeling safe and relaxed. Ongoing education keeps our dog grooming teams at the top of their game so you can trust that your dog is in good hands.
Dog Focused: We care about dogs, and it shows. Our team is made up of genuine dog lovers who will give your pup plenty of love when you can’t be there yourself. We’ll keep you updated on how your dog is doing with messages and photos, and you are always welcome to check in or stop by!

Our facility is more than a holding pen for your pup. It offers structured all-day play sessions for dogs and private bedrooms where they can relax at night. Pet parents can even book their pup in for a luxury grooming experience so dogs come home feeling relaxed, tired, and fresh.
We require dogs to have rabies, DHPP, and Bordatella to participate in daycare and boarding. We also strongly recommend a canine influenza vaccination. You can email us their pet records or drop off a hard copy at our front desk.
We reserve a limited number of same-day appointments for Bath, Blow Out & Brush services. These are perfect if your dog has an extra-muddy adventure or rolls in something questionable while on a walk. These appointments tend to book up quickly and our VIPup Club members get first dibs, so be sure to call early!
