Read More On Citysearch Jhante 1/2/2010 - Great Place for Boarding Your PetThe staff members are very friendly and know you and your pet by name. The facilities are well maintained--in other words, clean and smells nice upon entering the building. The building is ample for both large and small dogs.
I have been taking my dog to Barks 5th Avenue, for several years now, and feel I made a good choice for my pet, a Dalmatian.

The last time we used them for boarding, they brought my dog out for me to take home COVERED IN URINE. I was so upset- not knowing how long he had been like that. This was the THIRD CHANCE that I gave this place. Several months ago, I was TALKED TO HORRIBLY by the owner of Barks (PENNY).

She is a very sweet, medium-sized, 1 year old terrier mix but was really much more than we could handle. No matter how many books I read and dog training shows I watched, I could not control her.

I like a couple things different than the "standard" cut for my dog's breed... that is no problem for Barks. They always refer to my dog's file and verify my extra instructions. And the dogs just LOVE the doggy daycare option to play with the other same-sized friendly dogs... it is well worth the few extra bucks. Don't waste your time at the big pet stor...

I asked a friend who they used and they recommended Bark's 5th Avenue to me. We made an appointment and took Sasha in. The people there were very friendly. They could tell I was a little nervous leaving my small dog with strangers. However, I must say it was a great experience and...

Read More On Citysearch carriesmom 4/30/2008 - Fantastic groomersI have only had really good experiences with Barks Fifth Avenue. They treat our two dogs very kind and spend as much time wtih them as they can. Barks Fifth Avenue has an excellent staff, including the groomers. The only complaint I have is the seemingly high cost (although, I have to admit, I don't have much to compare their costs to as I've only dealt with one other place).

Read More On Citysearch ccavazos 4/26/2008 - Best Pet Groomer AroundI love Barks 5th Avenue and so does Susie, my miniature Schnauzer. I've been to several different groomers and Barks 5th Ave. tops them all. Susie always comes out looking so cute and smells wonderful. The prices are reasonable and the staff very professional and friendly. I've never used the boarding facilities, but would not hesitate to do so from what I've seen.

I was so very impressed by your service the first time that I have decided to not only use Barks 5th Avenue for grooming but I plan to board Jerry with you this summer. Thanks again for treating him like he was part of your family.

Caring, considerate, thorough serviceThe staff at Barq's has always been extremely and caring and considerate in working with our dogs. We have two very lage, long haired Great Pyrenees. We have had other grooming salons turn us away because they take so much time to clean. Barq's didn't hesitate at all. Even though it takes a lot of time to clean them.

You have to take in a copy of the review when you pay in order to receive the discount. All the reviews you read are from people that have been bribed like me.

Our dogs used to resist getting out of the car when we had to take them to a kennel. After their first stay at Barks 5th Avenue, they now bound out of the car excitedly because they can?t wait to play with the other dogs.
The owner and staff are very professional and extremely friendly. The grounds are ...

I have a older dog that needs to get up and around more than he does while I am work.
