Okay, this place kicks butt. Everyone has a positive attitude, is helpful and most importantly loves animals. I thought it was so cute because frequent "Play Care" doggy parents pull up and a Bark Ave. Staff brings the dog directly to their parent's car, almost like it was a elementary school parent pickup.

I took my second rescue, a VERY SASSY long haired Persian Cat back to Bark Ave. to get shaved and styled by Tyrone. She came home happy and relaxed. Both cats look beautiful, felt pampered and I would highly recommend any long haired cat parent to take their cats here. Make sure you sign up for their discounts by email. Sometimes they offer 20% off grooming, or free play care. It is well worth it. They even hooked me up with a free Natural Balance food. Believe it or not, one of my other rescue cats is allergic to grain and this is the only wet and dry food they eat. How sweet. Thanks Tyrone, Jay and crew. I wish you future success.

As good as it gets - Bark Avenue rocks on every level.  Great phone service with making appointments, etc.  Excellent grooming - my old timer 11 year old mini dachshund comes home looking like a shiny puppy. They are very caring - some groomers are too aggressive with Cujo's old teeth and gums and he has had infections after visits with other groomers ... not here!   And a big WooHoo for the pick-up/delivery service - the guy is always on time and loves the dogs.  Excellent Excellent Excellent.  Stop shopping for a new groomer now and get to Bark Avenue!

I can start off by saying that the location on Main St is wonderful. "Its Huge" My best friend has been taking her dog her for years and she told me to hop on the web cam and watch "BELLA" ( her poodle) play and I total fell in love. I finally decide to bring my Frenchie "Charles" in. He was very aggressive at first, but calmed down as soon as I left.

The staff was very helpful. I also learned some training tips while I was in there. I total recommend this place to people with animals or going to get one.

Today I felt like a good dog-mom. We dropped our dog off at Bark Avenue feeling a little like parents dropping their kid off on the first day of school. "What if the other kids don't like her? Will her teachers be nice? What if she gets in a fight with another kid?" Staff member Tina greeted us with calming reassurance and said we could call anytime and check on our dog...even view her on a web cam-which unfortunately didn't work on the phone.  Naturally I called about an hour later, and our dog was "doing great"! Which set my mind at ease. At the end of the day, I called again, and was told by Steven (another outstanding staffmember), "she has been playing all day, is doing great and should fall right to sleep when you get her home". I have to admit I was skeptical about that last part...she has endless energy and chatters constantly in the car...usually...
We picked her up and put her in the car, and not only did she not chatter and complain the whole time, but she actually laid down and was quiet almost the whole way home! Right now she is tucked into my leg snoring away, I am sure dreaming about her great day at Bark Avenue. We will be boarding her there soon, so I have reserved five star status until then, but I have confidence that I will be adding that last star shortly

Never had my dog Chico groomed there, but I have boarded him while I was on vacation.  He came back happy! The place is cute, I loved the fact that I could check him out on their webcam, and the staff was very sweet to himl. It's scary to leave your dog with someone, and I've had bad experiences in the past at other places, but I think the people at Bark Avenue are trustworthy and caring. Also, Chico was a rescue dog so I have a soft spot for the fact that they donate a lot of time and moolah to helping out dogs like him..

I don't board my dog, nor do I drop her off at Doggie Day Care. But I must say, their full service grooming is awesome! I work in the industry and am very leary when it comes to dropping off my pooch at groomers. I can honestly say, their groomer is amazing! I have had several groomers  and when I saw my dog after her first groom, I was shocked at how well she was cut. Her underside, which we prefer to keep longer was even thinned out for her to keep cool, without messing up the look of her cut. The groomer is truley top notch and from what I understand is a Master Groomer. I believe it. Before and after my little one gets her grooming, she is allowed to play with the other dogs that are there for day care (which she loves).

If your pooch needs a cut or a shave down,I highly recommend the full service grooming services.

This place is as good as it gets!  They have free Wi-Fi, an indoor lounge area with a coffee maker that makes everything from a simple cup o' joe to a mocha/vanilla latte.... AND an HD TV.  The staff is always wonderful and very knowledgeable.

I'm sure you're thinking "Why go to this place when I can go to other pet boarding and grooming facilities with high reviews?"  Well, let me tell you why.  This boarding and grooming location helps fund their no kill animal shelter that's located on Hill St. & 31st.  Not only are you helping YOUR pet by getting them groomed or boarded, but you're also helping other pets that are waiting for forever homes.  It's a 2 in 1!

So go now, make your pet look pretty and help save a life while you're doing it!

Our dog has been in daycare at Bark Avenue since she was a puppy.  The care and attention she receives there is unmatched, when we drop her off we are confident that she will not only be well taken care of but that she will be loved.  Bark Avenue is a wonderful facility that I couldn't recommend more highly..
