I love this place and would love to be able to live close enough to purchase all of my dog's food there.
My mom and I found Bark Avenue when I was in town earlier this year. One of the things I love most about it is that the staff is so well educated on pet nutrition and particularly, the contents and benefits of the ingredients in the products they sell. My poor little one is a 3 year old Shih Tzu who has had itchy skin all her life. Rick took a significant amount of time out of his day working with me to help me figure out what nutrition would be best for her. We aren't 100% just yet, but I am optimistic we are on the right path because things seem to have improved.
I still live on the east coast but I know my mom buys her dogs' food there. It is nice for me that she still speaks to the staff because I am able to learn things from her about the latest and greatest.
One of the benefits of shopping at Bark Avenue is that they have quite a few samples so if you have a finicky dog or a dog with sensitivities, you can try out the food before you buy it. This has been very, very helpful for me as it appears my dog probably has allergies and I have been able to narrow down a few items that cause her trouble without spending an arm and a leg.
Thanks for all of your help, Bark Avenue! I wish you the best!
