Would give 6+ stars if possible! Our pups have been going here for years, and it’s definitely their favorite place! We recently boarded them for Halloween, and when I picked them up this morning they gave me a goodie bag for each pup with treats, and two adorable photo prints of the photo shoot they did! Looking on Facebook, it seems they did a ton of fun Halloween activities too. Just wonderful staff as well!

Bark Avenue is an awesome spot for both daycare and boarding. Both my dogs absolutely love going there! The staff is great and they truly care about your pet. Definitely would recommend them to anyone.

I was in need of doggie Day camp and they were very highly recommended by some very close friends that are very selective when it comes to their pampered pup. So am I and that's why is called a they made the process very quick and I was able to bring my boy Bruno the next week when I needed. They do a very thorough check to ensure immunizations are up-to-date and no parasites found no fleas or ticks. I was very happy with the facility and their staff. Highly recommend.. I will be bringing Bruno for boarding as well. Family run business not big corporate. I appreciate it that Lots of space for my little guy to run around and have fun with others.

We have used Bark Avenue for two different dogs. They are wonderful. My dog gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot that I have a hard time controlling her until they come out to get her. They do curbside only service, to avoid having dogs get out of the building. They have a nice play yard in the back. The dogs get inside and outside time. They are very good about accommodating a small allergy that my dog has, and giving her a custom Kong that I bring the filling for.

The staff here is incredible. They made me feel safe leaving my fur-baby for the day. Monet answered all of my questions both times I stopped in there before deciding that this would be our doggie care. My Phoebe is a tripod because of a dog attack when she was 11 weeks old so we are a little protective of her and worried about her feeling safe with other dogs, but also know it is super important for her to be socialized. The staff is always very friendly and high energy which is awesome! They know us when we come in the door. Phoebe can hardly wait to get out of the car when we pull in I get zero goodbyes from her now because she is so excited to go play. That is the proof I needed to know that we made the best decision for our baby. Bonus she is wiped out when we get in the car and asleep before we get to Van Dyke. Plus they post pictures on their Facebook page.
