Baxter's Review of Fenway Bark
Baxter's parents tell him that he is going into Fenway Bark and we believe he could have pulled a locomotive with his enthusiasm and energy. You can't write business reviews like these, especially without opposable thumbs.

Therapeutic animal massage available through Zen Massage at Fenway Bark!
Enter Julie.
Julie's trained hands can find the source of pain, tension, or discomfort in your dog or cat's body and use healing therapeutic deep tissue massage to help alleviate what may be bothering your pet.
Seeing is believing. Above you will find a video of a Fenway Bark client who tends to be shy and clearly by the transformation you see on the video, wants to engage but until the massage relieved some discomfort, didn't socialize or even want a treat.
I saw this video almost a week after the therapy and I am awestruck at the transformation.
Appointment can be made through our concierge at 617-464-4364. Vaccinations are required for all services at Fenway Bark.
Almost makes you want to be a dog.

Goose arriving at Fenway Bark!
Some people choose a dog care facility based on Yelp reviews or Google Reviews. Some people choose to learn about their options from friends, trusted professionals, or contacts at dog parks. Regardless of how people learn about us, we are always grateful for your kind recommendations.
There is one type of review that can't be manipulated by the competition, however, and that is the reviews of our four legged clients. And although Goose doesn't have opposable thumbs to craft his own written review, the video tells it all as he realizes he is arriving at Fenway Bark.
If you have a video of your dog recognizing that he/she is coming to Fenway Bark and would like to share it with us, please send it to me at jane@fenwaybarkonline.com. We would love to share their reviews with our reading audience and Facebook.

Little Leaguers at Fenway Bark - Please Read
On Saturday we learned that one of our Little League dogs was diagnosed with canine papilloma virus. This is a highly contagious virus that can only be passed from dog to dog, not dog to human. The virus causes dog warts and is not believed to be harmful in any way except when a particularly bad case develops that causes eating and swallowing to be painful.
We don't know of any other cases of canine papilloma virus within the guests of Fenway Bark but we ask you to be on the lookout for signs of the virus, particularly if your dog is in our Little League AND is either a puppy or immuno-compromised in some way which puts them at greater risk (e.g., elderly, under cancer treatment). Adult dogs with normal immunity are at much less risk. Should a dog develop canine papilloma virus, they need to be segregated from daycare for up to 5 months while the warts disappear and as their individual immunity becomes stronger.
If you see your dog has dog warts, please seek the advice of your regular veterinarian. It is not, however, a medical emergency. Until then, do not let your dog share toys, food, or water bowls with another dog. Additionally, if you are a client of Fenway Bark, please let us know if your dog has dog warts.
Dog daycare is not unlike child daycare where being combined into one cohort, they can pick up each others viruses. Inasmuch as we try to prevent such things from happening, the incubation period for things like canine papilloma virus is quite long, up to 2 months, and it would be impossible to screen for such things with no symptomology present before a dog can begin to transmit it. We do everything in our power to stop the transmission of diseases including keeping water bowls, rooms, and kennels sanitized, among other measures. All of our surfaces were selected with the ability to sanitize in mind. We also have a more stringent set of health requirements than many other facilities including documented evidence of up to date vaccines and a negative fecal float (that includes testing for giardia) to minimize the risk of transmission of intestinal parasites in a group setting.
It is through the thoughtful notification of families like the one who notified us about their dog's CPV infection, that we can reduce the chances of another dog being infected. We appreciate everyone who has recognized when their dog has a virus and keeps them home to keep all other dogs from being exposed. We have wonderful pet families who recognize the importance of keeping all the dogs as safe as possible.
