I absolutely adore this place!
I have a 55 pound golden doodle who is perhaps the biggest baby in the world. She freaks out if I leave her and I can imagine she's a bit tough to groom. But the staff at Bark Ave is fantastic! They are always so warm and welcoming to my pup which puts my dog at ease and provides me peace of mind. I also love that they take care of her right away rather than having to leave her there all day. I actually feel comfortable leaving her there, which says a lot about this place.
But what about the actual grooming??? Well that's great too! We tried other places and were always unhappy but figured that's just how it had to be. Here they listen to what you want done. I was told at other places that my dog just had to be shaved because of mats, but now I know those other places were just lazy. Here, they take the time to brush out her mats. Our pup always looks great when pick her up!!!
Honestly, every time we go there we are happier than the last time!!! The care they give to our dog is second to none and we are so glad to support a local ahwatukee business.
