Bark Avenue Grooming

"Super professional experience! They took such amazing and gentle care with my 13yo girl and my special needs 9yo boy. I've never had another groomer so knowledgeable about disorders and handling techniques! Let alone how insanely talented with different coat types. To say that they are one of the most reasonable on prices? UNDERSTATEMENT. I sat and watched for a while how the other customers and their pets, reacted when they came in...to tell you I was in awe is yet another UNDERSTATEMENT! For all those talking about "it smells like dogs in there" allow me to throw something out to you all... they Groom the dirty dogs we don't want to...my vet smells...my boarding facility...he'll even my doctors office smells of either cleaners or the clients that need them. Think about that the next time you are "offended that a pet place smells of pets" as for my family, we will 10,000% be back!"

"We are new to the area and this was our first visit. I chose this place due to convenience and they could squeeze my 3 in within the week. The salon does smell like dogs and cats but that is to be expected for a place that cares for animals…no different than a vets office or other high volume salons I have used. They did absolutely wonderful on my pups haircuts, exactly as I asked. Also, my senior dachshund can be aggressive with nail trims but they got hers perfectly short. Super happy and will definitely be a repeat customer!"

"We have had our pup Lucy for three years and have taken her to so many groomers with no success. I ended up just doing a armature choppy job myself! We have had Lucy groomed by Melissa several times now and Lucy has NEVER looked better! We are so pleased with the quality of her work and Lucy is never anxious about going or when she comes back! Lucy’s brother Jax’s parents have tried multiple groomers all over Atlanta and Macon and could not find anyone the were pleased with. They currently make the drive every month just to have Melissa groom him! She is amazing!! We love her and our fur babies LOVE her! Thank you Melissa!!!"

"Called to see if needed apt, no apt needed, friendly great staff was very helpful & knowledgeable. They did a quick job on my German Shephard which is only her 2nd time getting nails done other than from vet at apts, she was of course very nervous & anxious, the lady just asked how i felt i said a little anxious also, so she said best to just put her on the table & do it rather than me holding onto her because she would get my anxiety also & may make her worse. Ashoka was a little stubborn but then groomer just picked her up, finished i like 5 min & very reasonable! I didnt have change so she said no worries if you come next time i can just pay then, i thought this was amazing since our 1st time, not knowing if i was definitely coming back! My only flaw was just looked a little full but she did prepare me to come after 10am so i assume these are pups/dogs she has already groomed waiting for owners to pick up. I will be taking my girl back to get her more comfortable with the process, shampoo & nails are next! thanks again for the great quick work!"
