The owners of Bark Ave are knowledgeable and very friendly! We originally went in as one of our dogs coats had always been flaky and we couldn’t get ahead of it. Debbie recommended food changes and that felt like a good place to start. By the end of the first bag we saw a difference in her skin and as a bonus her eye mucus also cleared up. We now include raw in their diet and our dogs health and appearance is noticeable improved. Great store too!

We definitely like this local pet store. They always have the food, toys and treats we are looking for.

I couldn’t say enough about this place! it’s family owned, which is huge to me, so I stopped in to grab “Fluff and Tuff” dog toys because I heard they had them, which are Pitbull approved, they are the best stuffies for your chewers! But the owner was there and helped with everything, she also guided me to the dog food and told me all about all the other locally owned businesses that make excellent dog food, that’s 100% our next step is to switch food — she was so helpful and kind! this is 100% going to be my go-to pet store! ?

I’ve been a customer since 2010, and the ladies at Bark Ave have been so helpful and supportive over the years, as there have been different allergy hurdles to figure out with various animals. Truly a wonderful place to go to, for more than just what supplies you may need for your animals. Service and care that’s hard to find elsewhere!

My first time walking in the place, and go in and there's 2 employees. No one greets me. Both are having a personal conversation with 2 other customers while only one is ringing up and the other is drinking her iced coffee. I wander around trying to find what I'm looking for, none asks if I need help or anything. I realize what I need isn't here, or I haven't found it and I go to leave. I have the door open, foot out and that's when one says "excuse me, did you need help.?" Really that's when you ask? Poor service. They obviously didn't care about a new sale. And honestly why is it called a pet store? It should be a dog store because it's 95% dog and about 5% cat items.

Truly fantastic service, all around! I have never frequented a business that makes you feel like family quite like Bark Ave does. We walked in a week before adopting our first pup, they helped us get every bit of supplies we needed, all with the benefit of sage-level advice, and then some! Our dog is nearly 2 now and the owner still remembers just about everything we tell her, whether its food related issues, grooming, appropriate harnesses, dog beds, you name it. You're guarenteed to get what you're looking for from people who genuinely care.10/10 cannot reccomend this place enough (and I have to fellow neighbors).

Great speciality shop for dog and cat supplies you can tell the owners truly care and believe in the products they sell. So you know you are getting quality items but with that comes a higher price tag. Friendly and knowledgeable staff

This place was recommended to us by the place we are going to for puppy training. They've taken over the place that used to be The Energy Station restaurant, so it's a pretty big place with lots of pet supplies. They also offer grooming and they have self bathing stations were you can bathe your dog. We were there for a no pull halter and the girl who helped us was so friendly and patient with us and took her time ensuring we had the right fit for our Golden Retriever. We also used the opportunity to pick up some treats and toys for our girl and we had a lovely conversation with the owners. Prices are about on par with other local pet stores and they offer a lot of quality foods and products. Would definitely come back!

I do not recommend bark ave for grooming services. They are very rude and cannot keep groomers because they treat their employees like they are slaves. The owners groomed my dog twice and he had cuts all over his body. Other people that I know said the same thing so please do not use them.

I have loved this place since I first stepped foot in it at least 5 years ago. First it's a PRIVATELY OWNED store, not a chain, which in today's world is SO IMPORTANT. ➡️America was built on small businesses so PLEASE support them❤. The moment you walk in your always greeted warmly and genuinely by the owner. I can't say enough positive about her, she's incredibly kind and genuine and knows her stuff, one of my very favorite things is that they carry brands and products they believe in that speaks volumes to me as people. They have a HUGE variety of both dog and cat items in this large boutiquey store. Everything is so clean and homey. They carry everything even the brands i cannot find anywhere else. When you buy chews and food from large Walmart and large chains you're playing with your dogs life and I speak from experience here. I bought water Buffalo horns from both a chain and Amazon and it almost killed both my dogs. Here they sell the right horns and it's the only place I'll get them. They SUPPORT LOCAL VENDORS, MILITARY AND OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES. There's a dog wash here and even pictures with Santa. My point is, this place is phenomenal and the ➡️PRICES ARE VERY VERY REASONABLE⬅️, don't think because it's a small store is anything but. PLEASE STOP supporting China, shop small and give these truly good people your business. Thank you for all your time and all the amazing work you do.

Prefer to shop these local stores. Great place for anything pet related. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Went to this store to purchase elk bones for our dog. They had a wide selection of the items I was shopping for and tried some things I had not seen before. Large store, well organized.

Turned away a filthy all white boxer, who you can see isn’t covered in fleas, but did just come off the street and we found 2 fleas on her… they said the “whole room would get infested”. I’m sorry, but are they asking all the customers who walk in the door if their pet has fleas? Doesn’t common sense indicate that a dog with fleas who is testing out beds or coats would be a better candidate for infesting… not just the bathing room, but the entire store? Self bathing is overpriced anyway.

10/10 recommend this shop for dog food, treats, and custom wooden dog bowl holders. I really had a great experience talking with one of the owners and figuring out a good couple of dog food brands to help with my two hounds. I felt very comfortable asking questions and receiving very thorough and informative responses on what would benefit my two beagle mixes the most. I also received a couple of samples for them to try out!
