Bark Avenue Pet Salon

excellent service — my dog came out very calm & happy and looked absolutely adorable! I will definitely be using their services regularly

I take my two 100+ pound dogs here. The ladies love to see them come in and they do such a great job grooming them. Extremely friendly! I couldn’t imagine taking my two dogs anywhere else

I was taking my dog to Petco, until I recently discovered this place. The service is awesome all around. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place! They remember my dog and provide the same awesome haircut for her. They are nice and the way they work totally caters to your convenience. Love seeing my dog after they groom her!

These ladies have been grooming our dogs since 2003! They take special care of our chow mix as she is so old now and grumpy. We get her the «puppy cut» and she is so cute-​and seems to be happy with a bit less fur for the summer. You must call in advance to get an spot as they are popular and busy. I highly recommend this pet salon.

I absolutely love the staff here! They really go out of their way to satisfy their customers. I just recently had a baby and took him in with me once and they kindly offered to bring My dog to the car instead so it’s more convenient for me and the baby. Who does that? They always do a great job with my dog and I have no complaints! Been taking Magic here for almost 5 years

We took our Jack Russell in to Bark Ave. for the first time a couple days ago. I was impressed. They seemed very genuine in their care for our dog. We had a bad experience at Petsmart so we decided to try Bark Ave. and we will be back. Also, we told the ladies that we had a meeting to attend a few hours after we dropped our dog off and they said they will get her done ASAP. Sure enough a hour later they were done. They topped daisy off with a cute pink bow on her collar to add a cool personal touch.

They are very kind people, wonderful with my dog and do a great job!

I have a 1 year old Leonberger. She is big, very strong and friendly but sometimes stubborn and very hairy. She has been to Bark Avenue four times and they always do a great job. She always looks beautiful when she leaves the groomer. The prices here are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended.

I hesitate to tell you all what a wonderful place this is… as you will create a wait for service, but… Sam is the BEST, and she loves dogs. Oscar is always happy, clean and looks so amazing when I pick him up. Personalized service is what you get from Bark Avenue, and you don’t need to ever worry about leaving your pup.

We have been coming here for years, and I am surprised to see low ratings as they have always been awesome with our dogs! They are great at what they do, and they love our dogs — what more could you want? Give them a try — you won’t be disappointed!!!

My Poodle/​GSD is difficult to groom as he has a 5 second attention span and could use some doggie downers. I’ve taken him to other salons but wasn’t really pleased. The ladies here tell me Spirit is good on the table. I know he loves to go see his ladies and he’s not all down in the dumps when I pick him up. Plus when he gets home he has to run out to the fence and strut his stuff for the rest of the neighborhood to see how fine he looks. I wouldn’t think of taking him elsewhere.
They have also groomed my very senior spaniel and she looks more awesome than I could imagine was possible. You can tell these gals really care about the animals under their care.

I’ve been going here for about a year. I’m disappointed in the service each time, but I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt. But this last time was unacceptable. They did not shave my dog’s tail, they completely missed one back leg, and they sent her home in another dog’s collar and leash. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!

My dog did not have fleas when I dropped him off — he sure did when I picked him up! Cutting was average.

I was very happy to find this groomer! The ladies are so sweet, they instantly made me feel comfortable leaving my pups with them. I have two very large dogs and they not only were able to accommodate them but also really seemed to enjoy seeing them. My pair came home very happy and very clean. We will now become regulars thanks to their great customer service and great pricing!

Sam did such a great job on my dog, I have nothing but good things to say about her. My dog is very feisty, and has been turned away from a handful of groomers. Before I found Sam, I was taking him to veterinarians to be groomed because no one would touch him unless he was sedated, but Sam was able to calm him down and groom him without incident. I am so happy to have found Bark Avenue, they’re lifesavers!

Although it’s a drive to go to La Mesa to take our precious Apricot to be groomed, it is worth it. They are very nice to him and take care of his coat like any groomer should.
They are very professional, we send in a stinkin mess and he comes out a prince. Apricot is a coton de tulear, fancy breed but not really a show dog. His coat is white like cotton and he needs constant brushing to fight off the matting before his next grooming. To entrust someone to a groomer means to leave your child with a professional nanny. These gals are professionals.
I don’t do the details because Brian is the one who drops off Apricot and picks him up. All I know is that I leave in the morning that he is to be groomed and see a happy stinky boy and he comes home like a happy Prince (real one not the singer) at the Ball. I am glad we can use Bark Avenue not only were they recommended highly by friends who also have the same breed dog, but they are reliable and safe.
Props to Bark Avenue — Apricot loves going there and he always comes back the Prince of Pennsylvania Ave!
