    My furry pal and best buddy

    I enjoy washing my dog at home, but the clean up is the pain. Putting a bath, holding your dog in place, water splashing everywhere, trying not to use your best towels, and finding a blow dryer. Well guess what this place takes care of all that. They have: 1. A tub waiting with a stay in place collar to hook up inside tub. 2. Adjustable water temperature 3. A stack of towels 4. All the shampoo and conditioner you can use 5. Blow dryer with a perfect air output 6. Ear cleaner Lastly, a helpful staff and good animal loving attitude. Paid $15 bucks and was out there for with a beautiful great smelling clean pup. I put his NFL jersey on and we were ready for the game.

    We scheduled a self dog wash for our pooch. Everything was set out for us and it was clean. Lots of towels and Layla appreciated the pumpkin spice spritz.

    Tasia has taken the time to build a relationship with Marley (Australian Labradoodle) and me. Because of her dedication, I have a happy, healthy pup and I know how to care for him between visits.

    I used to take my Lacey to Bark Avenue all the time before she passed. They always handled her well and did a good job. I got a new dog recently, and I plan to bring him in for his first bath soon.

    The staff were super great. My pups was comfortable and went with the groomer with no worries. He looked, smelled, and felt great. They even recommended things to do to make him even more comfortable and cooperative on his next visit. Everyone was wearing masks and I felt comfortable being in the building. Crosby and I will be back!

    First impressions--NOT good. As soon as we got there (you're met with a doggy flap-which is fine because dogs do escape!) but the front is so small & cluttered I felt like I was in an episode of hoarders-not major extreme hoarders just VERY cluttered, the displays had a lot of dust collected on them and there were random cages everywhere. Next they just rattle off the list of services, which you can't really hear because the commotion and dogs barking. as soon as we filled out the drop off form they attempted to take our 1 1/2 year old skittish girl husky off to a CAGE. My wife had to do it because Ra'Ra won't go with just anyone who tries to pull her--she bucks like a horse. So my wife takes her back a few feet to an awaiting cage. I do not like how after we hand off the dogs they are immediately taken to a cage so minus 1 star there. Minus another start-Her appt was at 2, I called at 3 because the drop off left a bad taste in my mouth and I need to be certain Ra'Ra wasn't still sitting in a cage an hour later. I'm told they were behind so she was just getting to her bath...again, ONE.....HOUR later. We get a call one hour & 43 minutes later saying she will be ready for pick up but then she says within 10 minutes she will be ready. We wait 10 minutes, go get her, I'm told she's getting a brush down and will be ready soon....also that they couldn't do the sanitary trim but we could come back tomorrow. Well in my mind, had you started her bath at appt time and not an hour later then you could have done the trim/services we needed. But their lack of time management (they close at 5) is what caused us to miss out on a service we needed and no I'm not bringing my dog back to be put back in a cage until you could get to her. Anyways, 7 minutes later I'm told to wait n the car and they will bring her out (obviously she wasn't ready by the 10 or 15 minute mark. So I told them to get me when's she ready because Ra'Ra won't let anyone take her out of an area (yes we have a special, special dog). 35 minutes later I'm flagged down to get her & my sweet girl is happy to see her mama! I'm told "there she is" but why Did I have to ask for her harness and leash?? and my baby's head was still Wet. We Get her into the truck and after some time all we smell is wet dog. Grooossss I need to mention this also- as I was filling out paperwork, my wife was waiting with me and she saw a staff carelessly pull a small doggo out their cage, carelessly put them in the bath and heard that same staff say "this f--r is biting me!" And another staff says "yea he's a biter"....I know, I know..."why did we leave our dog?" Well, I like to give People the benefit of a doubt, innocent until proven guilty--by that I mean I wish you would do & say some crazy stuff like that in front of me TO or about my dog and it would have been on & poppin. Trust. Also before they give you your dog, you're asked to pay (which is fine) but don't ask me if I want to tip before I've been laid eyes on her! How do I even know if it was tip worthy!? Listen, I'm so thankful my dog isn't traumatized by the lack of dog training (like who doesn't greet my dog and talk to her before you attempt to drag her from her moms??) and I'm thankful her bath was good (she's soft, de tangled & de-shedded) but the whole experience was just YUCK. We won't be back. I don't have a before pic but just know she looks 100% better --I will give them that amount of credit so 3 stars it is.

    Lauren gave my Scarlet such a thorough bath and blow dry today, and Scarlet was so at ease-which does not come easily for her! I believe it was Lauren's calm, professional demeanor which I'd witnessed before when I'd been in and thought to myself, I am going to request her when I come for this service. So glad she was available, a truly knowledgeable young lady with a talent for calming excitable pups (mine is 9 months old), I am truly impressed with the process and the outcome and I will most definitely be back to see Lauren for all future grooming needs for my girl! Bless you Lauren, you are the best!

    Excellent place for getting dog groomed. They were very accommodating to get us in and were very friendly.

    My dog Hashbrown LOVES this place to death and that's how you know how great this doggie day care…read moreis. My dog will leave me in a heartbeat to come here. I can see the tears falling off his face whenever I pick him from daycare. This is honestly the best daycare in town. The staff here are super friendly, approachable, flexible, and extremely professional. Prices are unbeatable as well and I could not recommend this place enough.

    I almost never leave one-star reviews, but I feel obligated to share my experience so other dog…read moreowners can make an informed decision. I'm new to Tucson and needed boarding for my Golden Retriever while I took a two-day trip to California. After seeing good reviews for Dirty Dogs, I decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, the experience was full of red flags from the very beginning. Every time I called, my calls went unanswered. Instead, they would text me immediately saying everything had to be done online. I'm not great with online portals, so I asked if I could just come in and complete everything in person. I was told no. It all had to be done online. It wasn't until I texted that I was about to use another facility that someone finally called me. Since my dog had never been there before, she needed a temperament assessment. I wanted to bring her in a few days early so I could see the facility and make sure she was comfortable, but I would have been charged for that visit. They suggested I simply do the assessment on the morning of boarding, free of charge, so I trusted their recommendation. The morning of drop-off, I received a reminder text at 7:53 AM saying dogs had to be dropped off between 6:30 and 8. Since I was going to arrive around 8:15, I called immediately. I was told, "Well there are reminders (plural) that are sent and it's okay, but I would be charged a 15 dollar late fee because the dogs would already be kenneled. I decided not to argue about the ONE reminder since I would be leaving my dog alone with these people and didn't want anything to happen, I accepted responsibility and didn't argue. ******The real problem ****** happened when I arrived. I pulled up to the facility, walked around looking where to enter, an employee walked up, took my dog's leash out of my hand without introducing himself, didn't greet me, didn't greet my dog, and immediately started walking her inside. When I tried to follow, he blocked the entrance and told me I wasn't allowed in. That's the moment I knew I couldn't leave my dog there. As a dog owner, handing your pet over to strangers for the first time requires trust. I expected at least a friendly introduction, someone acknowledging my dog by name, explaining the process, or doing something to help me feel comfortable. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE WATCHING MY DOG?? ANY NORMAL human with half an heart sees a Golden Retriever and wants to pet and greet her!! These are supposed to be people who work with and love dogs???? Instead, the interaction felt rushed, cold, and unsettling. I made the decision right then to cancel my Labor Day trip. losing the trip was disappointing AND COSTLY, but I don't regret that decision for a second. When the owner called me afterward, she told me she had reviewed the security footage and that the employee had followed normal protocol. I listened to her explanation, but when I tried to explain why the experience concerned me, I felt interrupted and corrected rather than heard. To make matters worse, I was still charged 170 dollars! I knew I would be charged for booking, but figured she would work with me! All I got was "you can still drop her off between 4-6pm" (whatever the drop off time was). I want to be CLEAR: **** This review isn't about the money. It's about trust. ***** When you're asking someone to care for your dog, especially for the first time, trust is everything. Unfortunately, I never felt that trust was earned. One final piece of advice, pay close attention to the reviews. Many of the older positive reviews appear to be from before the current ownership and many focus on grooming rather than boarding. Maybe this place works well for some people, but based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend boarding your dog here. This lady loves to post the videos on here to justify her actions, I HOPE TO GOD SHE DOES, because ANYONE who loves their pets will see how COLD this exchange was. && lady, POST THE AUDIO!!
