We love Bark Avenue. We moved to the area a year ago and tried 3 different places to get our mini poodle groomed. Mostly to see which places provided the best haircut and value. This place won hands down. They are friendly and make sure to send a text reminder a day or so before the appointment. They also text you when the pooch has finished being pampered. For a dog groomer, it's pretty clean. The dogs all seem well cared for. Knox always comes home handsome and smelling amazing. I like their holiday spa specials. $12 bucks for several extras including teeth care and nail trim/file. We have to take Knox, because of his breed, every month or so. A full groom runs us about $75. It's not cheap but it's worth it considering the less competent places aren't much less expensive. read more

5 stars for grooming but 3/4 stars for customer service. They are a bit out there. (I once walked in to an older lady meditating, eyes closed, and everything. Didn't know what to do so I just watched her until someone from the back came out). read more

This is a small grooming shop with 1 groomer. He is so good at grooming though it is worth the extra time the groom takes. My Standard Poodle has been getting so many compliments around town and at our dog sports Dock Diving competition. Even other groomers are saying this is his best groom ever and I have to keep coming here, he looks awesome! My boy can be shy but was prancing around happy at pick up. We will be regulars for our summer cuts while we compete then do some fun, longer grooms in the winter read more

I don't like writing bad reviews, but this place is awful in their way of treating their customers. We stopped coming here for half a year because they were just so rude. We decided to give it a chance again about a month ago giving them the benefit of the doubt that we just had a bad experience. We went back and the owner started berating my wife when we went to go pick up our dog. She assumed we took our dog to a cheaper place and now we regret it. She then goes on and start saying we shouldn't go to cheaper places if we cared about our dog. First off, let me just say this place actually does a good job with dogs. However, their way of communicating with their customers are awful. I wouldn't come here even if their service was free. I don't understand how this place is still in business based on our experience. The reason why we stopped coming here in the first place was because the young girl that was working the desk had a miscommunication with the owner. We told the young girl we needed to pick up our dog at 3pm. We showed up, and our dog wasn't done. We had to go so we ended up just picking up the dog. While we were expressing our concerns on why our dog wasn't done because they promised we could pick up our dog at 3pm, the young girl tells the owner while we were still there, and she said we were lying. This was an awful experience. Now with our second bad experience? No way we're coming back here. They don't deserve the business they get read more

*** LACK OF COMMUNICATION *** Let me start of by saying we've used Bark Avenue for years. Today, I went in to drop off both of my dogs. I was told by the young lady (not her fault) that their records reflected my dogs vaccines were out of date. My dogs vaccines are current and up to date. I asked the young lady what they had on their records, she advised me they're records reflected January of 2020. It should be noted, I've used Bark Avenue at minimum 10 times since January of 2020. Shortly after, she gets on the phone with her boss who tells her to not take my dogs (respectable) however, she tells me she has to charge me a $25 fee per dog! For a lack of miscommunication on their end. What's right is right if this owner truly cares about her clientele she should definitely reconsider charging people fees for their mistakes. A suggestion would be documenting events. Bark Avenue is a great place nonetheless I will find a new groomer here in town. You've lost a loyal customer over $50 bucks that I would of tipped your groomers. read more

Love this place been going for few years now but it's so difficult to make an appointment over the phone since they rarely pick up phone calls . I usually would drive there to make an appointment and I would hear the phone ring and just ignored hahaha . Strange for a business not to want to answer calls for business read more

So I'm a stocktonian and I've hit quite a few spots here in town to find someone who can groom my pom teddy bear style. NO ONE has managed to do it even close to right. Always too blunt around her face. I thought it wouldn't hurt to try Bark Ave after seeing their pictures of their cuts. They did AMAZING. Like wow amazing. They managed to tame my lil lioness back to her teddy bear self and she looks splendid! I have found my new go-to salon and already can't wait to take her back in. Also, lily came out smelling like flowers and feeling softer than she's ever felt. That's some magic shampoo lol. Thanks guys! read more

I've been bringing my mini schnauzer here for about a year now with no complaints and I've decided to stop bringing my dog to this groomer. The last two times i 've brought my dog the haircut just seemed a little careless. Schnauzers have specific haircuts because they have beards, "skirts", and eyebrows. After growing my dogs hair/beard for the past year, he was completely shaven & unrecognizable. I emailed the company via the website & never received a response. I have attached before and after pictures, ALL SCHNAUZER OWNERS PLEASE BE AWARE. read more

I Called and booked an appointment for my puppy. The next day, I Received a text msg from this business cancelling my appt because they were going to be closed. Ok things happen. No worries. Their Text msg said they were sorry and they offered a free spa package for my puppies next appt. Someone was suppose to contact me when they had an available appointment, Never happened. I have left three messages to try reschedule my puppies appt and have yet to reach anyone or receive a return call. Very unprofessional manner to conduct business. It's been three weeks and still no response. read more

I have taken my Yorkie & Chihuahua to Bark Avenue since they opened their doors! I absolutely love Nefty and Maricela! Before Bark Avenue opened I could not find a groomer in town that could do a good job on my Yorkie's cut! I took my Yorkie to Bark Avenue and showed them a picture of how I wanted inhospitable hair cut "No Problem" yet I had heard that at several places in town! Well when Nefty said it she meant it! When we got our Chihuahua she is scared of new people, Nefty & Maricela take their time with her so that's it is not so scary and nerve wrecking! I appreciate the fact that when they are busy they don't leave our dogs on a grooming table to answer their phone, they call back at their next break point. read more

I took my two dogs to Bark Avenue Pet Grooming for grooming and was blown away by the level of care they received. The staff paid close attention to my wishes for each dog. The grooming itself was excellent, and my dogs smelt and looked great after their sessions. I especially loved the attention to detail, which included nail clipping and ear cleaning. Thank you, and keep up the good work. I will return the next time I need them groomed. read more

I don't know how this place has 4 stars. The older lady was very rude to my mom, my dog's hair is uneven, and I believe she treated my dog very poorly as well. My dog was crying so bad/whimpering, eyes were red etc when we picked her up. Never going back to this place again and will not refer this place to anyone. Terrible. RESPONDING TO YOUR COMMENT BELOW: My mother actually did say that this was our dog's FIRST TIME being groomed. Knowing our dog, she has never been aggressive as you are saying. Actually she's been moody, and she's been hiding under our dining table ever since we picked her up from your horrible business. My mother was never rude to you. I can see other customers reviews below - in the past had experienced the same from you being the one horribly rude. What's very odd about this situation is that ever since my dog came back from being groomed by you and your staff, her behavior has changed rapidly. She won't let us hold her paws, she was limping when she got back, and her eyes were super super red. Who wouldn't get upset with your business if you feel that your dog was mistreated?! Good luck, and great we won't ever come back. read more

Made an appointment for our Cavalier based off the good reviews. When we brought her in for her appointment, the person told us we needed her immunization records, which was never mentioned when we scheduled the appointment. They called our vet to verify then gave us a hard time about her not having bordatella even though we never board her. We explained what type of cut we wanted and left her for a couple hours. We called back and were told she'd be ready in 30 minutes so we headed over and got there 30 minutes later. When opening the door, the lady yelled out saying she wasn't ready and that we need to leave. There was no need to be so rude, and why are there chairs in a waiting area if they don't want people to wait inside? Once she brought out our dog, we immediately noticed something was wrong. The groomer didn't blend anything in the back of her head and it looks almost like a bowl cut. When we asked about it, the lady said it was supposed to be like that, which is BS, no haircut should look like that. We couldn't stay and argue for her to fix it because we had to leave to pick up our daughter from school. All in all, we are very disappointed and will not be returning to pay $65 for a haircut that look worse than something I could do on my own. read more

I wish I could give this place higher stars but my experience wasn't the best. My dog has never been injured at any groomer and this time, she was nicked! The shave pattern on her coat was visible and the fade was poorly done. I was quoted an estimate over the phone based on her weight and did the yelp checkin but ended up getting charged $30 more than expected. In summary, I paid for an overpriced service and my poor dog was injured. read more

First visit was a success. Zoe looks & smells amazing. Thank you Bark Avenue for a great 1st time experience & for the first time free teeth brushing! I recommend to all my family & friends to give Bark Avenue a try. Friendly & helpful staff. At the time of setting up appointment it was nice that they said up front that they would need to see current immunization records. I didn't have a copy but they were able to confirm with vet over the phone. Lucky for us they were able to accommodate us on short notice. Thank you Bark Avenue. Zoe will be back. read more

Very unhappy with their appointment service. I made an appointment long time ago and was giving an appointment for 3 weeks after, I had no option so I took it.

Truly a great team working here! They are very knowledgeable about how to care for our furry animals, and they treat our babies with love and patience, as if they are their own.

I was having trouble finding a good groomer in the area for my husky puppy and I happened to pass by Bark Avenue one time. I decided to step in and asked if I could schedule an appointment and they were able to take me the same day :) Nefty was very nice and patient with my questions and I really liked that she also speaks Spanish :) . They treated my dog very well, they didn't take that long, she looked super clean, her fur was super silky and smelled really good. It was definitely worth it to take her there and I surely recommend it. read more

This place seem nice by the reviews and the lady was very friendly on the phone but not In Person I wasted my time driving here. I made my appointment over the phone they were able to accommodate in about 45 minutes however when arriving they asked for full paperwork and documentation of the shots apparently dog tags aren't good enough So I call back to see if she's able to get the records or whatever she needed and then I was told that I need to call back with a better attitude seriously? I obviously will never coming back here or will I recommend read more

Pleasantly surprised at the service here. Called and made an appointment, but called back to reschedule for an earlier time. They called back and made a new appointment right away. Despite Covid-19 and social distancing precautions, the staff were all very friendly and personable. Went over all info and had our dog ready in a few hours. He smells great and looks so good! It was our first time here and we'll be back again soon. read more

Like others I am not sure why this place is rated so highly. I just spoke to the rudest person over the phone trying to make an appointment for my dog. She told me I had not been there for many years (hello we have been in a pandemic) and the last time I made an appointment I was a no show so I would owe $20, which ok perhaps during the pandemic many things happened and you would think things would be forgiven but whatever I'll pay the $20. HOWEVER her next statement was we don't have any upcoming appointments for you and we don't have your dogs vaccinations. What!? So I can get the vax info but you don't want my business?? She then rudely asked me where I have been taking him for grooming, is that any of her business? She then said sorry can't get you in and hung up. Worst customer service I have experienced. read more

*Wow, my pet and I were just banned today from coming to Bark Ave Tracy CA. Per the owner/manager it was because I had canceled two visits back in 2019. According to the owner "they don't do business with customers like myself who do such things". I was incredulous because in the past I have had a pleasant rapport with this business and it was a mutual consideration coming from both parties. The owner basically banned me from ever coming again and practically pushed me and my small pet to go elsewhere and use other grooming businesses besides theirs. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This business is practically refusing revenue from me because of something that occurred two years ago prior to the pandemic. In running a business there is such a thing as forgiveness and customer service and courtesy. This owner just won't have it. I accepted her decision because she had all the right to refuse service. I can and will of course bring my pet to be groomed elsewhere and give them the revenue and give them the future profits. I contemplated on whether or not to post my experience on Yelp, but decided that I should to warn other potential and current customers on the type of owner/Management and business practice Bark Ave , Tracy provides. I just believe that we should've been given a second chance and that the owner and the business should've understood that at times customers just cannot make their appointments. Emergencies come up, things happen and they should've been more flexible and understanding. Instead I was penalized and banned. The way I was treated, I would not recommend his grooming service to anyone. When your business is servicing people , you have to be a little flexible and understanding of sudden and unexpected events that occur. read more
