Located at the heart of Rochester, New York, Bark Avenue Dog is a premier destination for dog grooming and pampering, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for local pet owners. Recognized for its outstanding, women-owned business credentials and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, Bark Avenue stands out as a community favorite, beloved by dog owners for years.
While not a traditional off-leash park or outdoor recreational facility, Bark Avenue Dog offers exceptional grooming services, accommodating everything from quick nail trims to full spa treatments. Reviewers consistently praise the professional staff for their patience with nervous pups and for going the extra mile to ensure every pet looks and feels their best. Walk-in nail trims are available, and appointments are handled efficiently so pets aren’t away from home for too long. The business does not currently offer outdoor park-like amenities such as fenced areas or separate dog runs, but is celebrated as a top choice for dog care in the Rochester area.
We’ve been coming to Bark Ave to get my dogs nails done for over 5 years now. Both of my pups will fight tooth and nail if I bring the clippers or the Dremel out at home, but they get SO excited when it’s time for their “dog spa” trip. The service is always courteous and quick, and absolutely worth every penny of my sanity to keep on top of my dogs’ nails. Given that I have to sedate my dogs just for regular wellness exams at the vet, the fact that they behave so well and get so excited to come to Bark Avenue really demonstrates the ability of the groomers to keep them calm and happy, and is a huge credit to the business. I wholeheartedly recommend.
The groomers at Bark Ave keep my cavapoo looking and smelling good. They work quickly so he isn’t there all day. We have been going for a few years now, and they always do a great job with him! They also offer walk ins for nail trims in between grooming which is very helpful.
I’ve been taking Harley to Bark Avenue Dog for a year already and I absolutely love the way they treat us as soon as we walk in. They are friendly and the service is great. Peter and Alyssa are awesome! I highly recommend Bark Avenue Dog. Harley loves his groomer Alyssa and looks forward to going in to see her, she treats him like her own.
Bark Avenue does an excellent job grooming our Goldendoodle. She can be nervous and they are very calm and patient with her. She always looks and smells amazing after she is groomed. Highly recommend!
Bark Ave is the best! We bring our dog Penny here every 4-5 weeks and she looks perfect every time. Peter at the front desk is great with communication and always gives you a time frame of when pick up is. Penny is a Pomeranian so she has a lot of fur, they always leave her looking neat and trimmed. Her paws and nails come out looking great. They are consistent with the quality of their products and expertise. I highly recommend Bark Ave for your dog! She always comes home happy:)
