When I first moved to town I was chronically homeless and I lived in my vehicle for 6 months before I was able to get indoors somewhere. I currently work full-time, 35 hours a week, and I'm going to graduate school going to class online for my Masters in Social Work. I make a fair paycheck but after rent, insurance, utilities, trash, water, internet, phone bills, a few groceries here and there, gas twice a month in my vehicle, and everything else in between I definitely don't have money left over each pay period let alone a savings account.The Bark Market has always been kind to us and helped us out. They are well known in town for their free dog food policy for the pups. Sometimes they make conversation, sometimes they hang out with the dogs, sometimes they ask how we're doing and ask genuine questions and sometimes they're just in a rush to get you in and out of there but no matter what I'm always grateful. Once I moved indoors across town I didn't need their services as often and I probably gone to the store less than seven times in my entire life. I know that sounds like a lot in terms of free food but I tried to buy it whenever I can. Last week Bobby had an accident and had to go to the vet and after paying her exam fee, her for her x-rays, and for her blood work labs I wasn't able to afford groceries this week nor much of anything else. It just so happens she ran out of food this week and I tried stopping by the New Orleans healing Center for food like I was instructed from the bark market but every time I go in there the place is empty.I came in today and the owner was pumping her drawer which I understand is a frustrating time to get another client for the day but I look past her irritated demeanor and asked if they had any dog food available by chance and was met with a sigh that racked her whole body and an eye roll. She then stated answered my question with of course you're looking for free dog food. And then she stated if anyone else is coming in for free dog food I wish they'd let me know now so I don't have to walk back here again and proceeded to walk to the back of the store. Upon her return she handed me a box of food on my bright, white, black, and red Jordan sneakers. She said wow, those look like some really nice sneakers you got there. And I thanked her, sincerely because I didn't realize what was happening at the time, and said thank you! I found them for $30 at Buffalo exchange. If anyone is familiar with Buffalo exchange It is a local second hand store where people bring name brand clothes. The whole point of it is that the clothes are normally expensive and our resold for affordable prices to people who otherwise couldn't purchased them brand new. I dealt with a lot of negative comments and Snyder marks during the past 9 years that I've been homeless off and on but never something like this. I've heard of people being discriminated against for their clothes or their sneakers but I didn't happen to me and I definitely didn't think it would happen at this local store that I had so much respect for and looked up to. I've had people make comments on why I have so many tattoos and how they could have must have cost thousands and thousands of dollars without taking into consideration that I am able to do them myself and at one point in time I had my own machine as well as a boyfriend who is a tattoo artist but this situation was nothing like that. If I thought I had to look homeless in order to get help from this woman or to try to convince her of my need I sure wouldn't have worn a pair of name brand sneakers to her shop. As I took my box of sample dog food that will be gone in 3 days due to having an older Siberian Husky and a cat with a bottomless picture of a stomach and found my front seat of my car windows started flowing. I don't think I have in me to come into this store and face this woman again and I would rather go back p panhandling and the uncertainty that it brings then to deal with this condesc

Just walking in the building puts a smile on my face, every time. I'm probably leaving with art supplies and the pups leaving with a bag of mixed treats like it was damn Halloween. Definitely a great selection of both the aforementioned products and they're tendered with smile from any one of the nice people working. Can't recommend it enough.

In the vibrant landscape of New Orleans, nestled comfortably, is a veritable haven for our canine companions: the Nola Bark Market. A playground for the city's cherished pets, it's a lively ballet of wagging tails and joyous barks. Among these contented patrons is Lucille, a spirited French Bulldog, who navigates this world with an enviable zeal.The truest testament to Lucille's love for Nola Bark Market is her vivacious engagement with the obstacle course ramp. Here, Lucille is more than just a spectator; she's an enthusiastic participant. Her sparkling eyes reflect determination, her stout little body pulsates with a fervor that only a challenge brings.Every approach to the obstacle course ramp is like a new chapter in Lucille's thrilling adventure. With her focused gaze and perked ears, she studies each hurdle, translating them into exciting challenges. And then, with a zest comparable to the city's vibrant Mardi Gras, she propels herself into action.Watching Lucille conquer the ramp, gracefully leaping over obstacles, weaving through posts, and finally reaching the summit with victorious aplomb, is an uplifting spectacle. Her joy is not merely in the completion but in the journey, much like New Orleans' own saga of resilience and joy.In the heart of the Crescent City, Nola Bark Market stands as a beacon of joy for our furry friends. It isn't merely a store, but a home away from home for pets like Lucille. Its vibrant energy, caring staff, and exciting activities mirror the city's spirit of hospitality, making every visit a delightful experience for both pets and their owners.

Bark Market always has a good selection of pet products, esp treats! We've bought a variety of doggie items like leashes, bandannas, treats, dental care, etc. All quality products and prices are comparable. Customer service has always been top notch!

this business would be far more successful with a different owner. Depending on her mood she can be helpful or a complete nightmare to deal with. Totally rude, condescending and inflexible most of the time. Stressed out people that regularly lash out shouldn’t have jobs where they deal with customers .She’s a regular topic at dog parks bc so many people have had issues with her. It’s too bad, it’s a great idea and perfect location but she looses a lot of business because of how she treats people.

Art and dogs! What a concept! I support this locally owned store and have been coming here for many years. It is a unique experience and near my house. There is doggy day care in back, a yard included, and I know that's helpful to many. I Iike the combination of art supplies and dog toys, my dog and I shop together and have a very fun time. She picks out the toys she wants. There's a good variety of both art and dog - with frozen beef bones and toy balls small enough for little mouths like Frenchies and such. Informed art store attendants who are artists themselves offer tips, sometimes there are art classes in back if of the store. It's open til seven, so that's a plus for those who can't get there before 5. on the nega side, some of the free dog food has been out of date... But on the plus side, the Bark Mart will usually take back a toy broken within 24 hours.

I love this pet/art store; easy access, comfortable atmosphere, and they carry unique brands on both sides of the market so I can't help but peruse both. <3 I'm happy I get to support what they do for our communities! :)

Biked here to get an exacto knife for an art installation. Upon arriving, I remembered I'd forgotten my bike lock at home 1.5 miles away.Brought the bike inside and was met by stiff-lipped clerk repetitively (3x) reminding me there was a bike rack outside, that there was a sign on the door forbidding bikes, that there was inadequate space inside for a bike.I looked around the massive warehouse, not a customer in sight. "Well, I don't have a lock on me," I replied."Well you should get one," she fumed, turning her back on me and stomping off.I walked out. If a business cannot afford the bare minimum of kindness, they certainly don't deserve to be a part of any community, especially ones they're displacing.
