About Us

Bark Avenue provides professional, friendly, knowledgeable services for dogs, cats and some small exotic animals. We welcome ALL breeds and sizes and we are always willing to work with the more difficult pets as well.

Our Story

Bark Avenue got its start in 2015. Owners Angela and Allen Dove saw a need for a pet grooming business in Honey Brook, and decided to take root in their local community. The decision was also made based on the want for the family to start a new journey that would keep them closer together. A business built by a family to care for your furry family.

Angela always had a dream to start her own pet grooming salon. With her personal passion, extensive background and loving family this dream would become reality. Starting as a small salon, Bark Avenue has blossomed into the business it is today with the continued loyalty and support from our clients and community.

Plans to expand began as the need for more space grew. In 2021 Angela & Allen found the perfect space to move into not far from their start. Wanting to be able to stay within the area, Bark Avenue moved down the road to its new home. With the help of many, the new building was renovated to fit the needs of their clients and business. The glorious new Bark Avenue Pet Grooming Salon opened its doors on July 18th, 2023. With more space came the opportunity to welcome new staff and new clients to our family.

The goal of Bark Avenue has always been to provide professional, friendly, knowledgeable services for dogs, cats and some small exotic pets at a fair price to the local community.

“We want to send a huge thank you to all that have supported our dream from the beginning, and also to those who have joined the journey along the way.”

-Angela & Allen Dove
