The Barkmont-Dog Daycare & Hotel
The first of it's kind in Berkeley! We transformed the Wholesale Transmission shop into The Barkmont-Dog Daycare and Hotel. The building is a unique, long span, CMU building on the corner of San Pablo Avenue and Pardee. The sales areas are now the Hotel style reception areas (complete with recycled/reclaimed materials from the Transmission Shop) and the waiting area into the puppy play room. The main workshop, which has 20' ceilings, metal sash windows and skylights is subdivided with low fences into 4 large indoor play areas. There is also kennel room which is big enough to hold up to 60 dogs - and yes it is sound proofed! The owners installed a state of the art dog-washing station, a dog- quarantine room, a spacious employee room with a dog feeding area. There is also a small outdoor pay area that doubles as a parking lot at night.
The Barkmont Officially opened their doors to the public in May 2017 - stop by and check them out! Or go to their website to make a reservation: http://the-barkmont.com/about
