Bark Avenue Pet Grooming

Ray and suzanne are great groomers. Always ready to take care of my kids even on short notice. Best groomers anywhere.

Susan and Ray are AWESOME! I have been taking my Westie to them for about three years. When I say their name he gets super excited. They groom him just how I like and I have NEVER had any problems. You won’t be disappointed by taking your dog there, and their prices are reasonable.

I have been bringing my dogs to Bark Avenue for 8 years, and have never had a bad experience. The owners/​staff are always friendly and take great care of my dogs for me. They actually care about the grooming they do. Plus, the prices are the most reasonable I have found!

Excellent staff… very patient, pleasant and knowledgable people. I am always skeptical about facilities I take my Pug babies to but with Bark Ave. I have no worries. They treated my babies as if they were their own and gave me no hassle about pick up time.
The pricing was the best I’ve experienced and for such an awesome job! My Pugs left smelling good and looking great (handkerchief’s and all) I always look my dogs over with a keen eye because I am very picky about what I pay a groomer to do… needless to say their wrinkles were cleaned, ears spotless and nails clipped accordingly. All without me having to for-​warn.
It’s not a huge space or big name company but it is truly a diamond in the rough and my go-​to groom from here on.

Okay so you are driving down Bates and you are a little concerned with the housing and people you see walking down the street. Then you pull up on Bark Avenue and wonder, should I really be taking my dog here or should I lay down on the accelerator and never look back. Well let me tell you from experience, don’t be «skerd». I absolutely love this place. Yeah, it might be a little ghetto, but this place is awesome.
So I’ll admit it I’m a little, well actually VERY overprotective of my dog. I love her, she’s my girl. Therefore, I would not take my dog to just any place. After I moved I needed to find a new groomers and a friend recommended Bark Avenue. They were very nice over the phone and able to get me in quickly. (Which is important because I am probably the world’s biggest procrastinator) I brought in a picture of how she was previously cut before so they would know how to cut her. She was ready on time and looked perfect. The best part of the whole experience is that their prices are CHEAP!

I don’t know why, but there are some Unilocal venues that have the addresses listed incorrectly. Bark Avenue is on Bates, between Grand and Virginia.
I stopped by there one day after a walk with my dog, Chevy. She’s old and completely neurotic and very skittish. She hates baths, and she doesn’t dig the people who give them, either. I had taken her to Petsmart last time for a bath, and she got a bad rash. So I thought, hey, local small business and Chevy stinks.
When you walk in to Bark Avenue, you see chaos. It’s not pretty like Petsmart. The owners seem to live in the space. There’s lots of cats running around. NONE of this is bad. I like this atmosphere. It means the owners love the animals and live it. They calmed Chevy down before, talking to her and making her comfortable. She came out looking and smelling great, and that makes me happy. The owners, I think, price by the size of the dog. Petsmart charges $ 26 for the standard bath and groom, and Bark charged me $ 40. I wish it were less expensive, but I guess Chev’s worth it. I will go back for sure.
