When we received our foster, she desperately needed to be groomed and Bark Avenue Pet Salon did a terrific job. The groomer established a connection with our dog and therefore was easily able to groom her. We highly recommend the groomer. Definitely worth the wait to get an appointment. Unreservedly give them 5 stars. Sincerely, Lisa C An appreciative dog owner from WNY read more

My experience was wonderful, they was very friendly, convenient and they have very reasonable pricing. Will be back again.

Megan gave my Japanese chin a really great bath and groom. He was very happy and not stressed at all. This is a very good dog grooming shop and I will be there again. read more

It started out great but unfortunately I had to find a new groomer for my cat after being a customer for years. No one was there the last time we came for a scheduled appointment, called and I never heard from anyone. The appointment prior to that was odd to say the least. I was told cats would no longer be groomed but then was told we COULD stay on as customers and so, another appointment was made only to be left in the dark. After reading other reviews, I feel finding another groomer was meant to be. Proceed with caution. read more

My 15 yr old cat recently stopped being able to groom himself well and was getting matted. He wouldn't let me shave him and barely tolerated me trying to clip out matts. I got an appt. at Bark Avenue when so many groomers weren't even accepting new clients. My cat was not an easy little man to groom, they took their time, gave him breaks and gave me a detailed run down of how he was when I picked him up. While he was not happy when I picked him up, he quickly forgave me and now he is finally back to his old self. He is SO much more active, fiesty, and fun. I had chalked up a lot to 'well he's getting older" but he is exactly the same energy level as he was a decade ago now. I couldn't be happier with Bark Avenue. read more

Have been taking my Sheltie here regularly! They always do a great job with his long fur and double coat. I usually make an appointment for him a couple weeks out and when I drop him off he'll be done with a full groom (and all the fixings--teeth, nails, ears, anal glands...etc) in a couple of hours! Price is super reasonable as well! read more

They used to be 5 stars. The last three cuts my dog received here have gotten worse every time. Todays will be my last cut here after my wife brought our dog home completely buzzed down after felling them the same short hand cut he's gotten for nearly a year.if your too busy to take your time, just ask to reschedule read more

Very organized, welcoming and friendly! Always take care of Jack. Great for the neighborhood and furbabies from all around Buffalo love this relaxing atmosphere read more

This is the best groom my cavapoo ever got. I have left Buffalo but have not been able to find a groomer in my city who does such a good job! Every time my puppy gets groomed, I think back to how he would look after a bark ave groom and wish I could find someone who could match that talent. read more

Sammy my 11 year old Cockapoo loved Bark Avenue! Today was his first visit after being with the same groomer his whole life in Boston, Mass. Megan and the entire Bark Avenue pet salon deserve 5 stars. Welcoming, clean, caring and nurturing is how I would describe this grooming salon. My dog usually gets so anxious and is ready to SCRAM when I pick him up. But, not this day...he was so happy and relaxed and did not even seem to want to leave Megan, the owner/groomer! So relieved to find a nice place to take my precious dog! read more

Amazing! These ladies know what they are doing! My Persian cat got a Lion cut and he looked adorable! We will be going back again!

We took our King Charles Spaniels to Bark Avenue for many years before they passed. Bark Avenue did a beautiful job with their long hair. We went back to Bark Avenue after rescuing our short-haired dog. They handle his anxiety with kindness. I highly recommend them for both grooming skills and kindness. read more

Bark Avenue is an excellent place to get your dog groomed. Our dog is a rescue and does not like being groomed at all (he had to be groomed under an aesthetic when he was rescued), but he comes away with a big dog smile on after being groomed at Bark Ave. Meghan, one of the owners, worked with Teddy and he is calm, relaxed, and looks and smells great! This is a great local business to support that is stress free and relaxing for both pups and owners. read more

Have you ever said, "a nose like a ...." and "the body like a..." and then picked up your dog to find them none of those things? Or maybe you pick up your dog and it's cut the wrong gender? That happened to me with my westie (twice). Never again. I've gone to big box store groomers, daycare salons, tried cutting hair myself none of which ends in a particularly fruitful experience for me or my dog. And then there was Michaela Snyder (one of the owners). Fun fact- when you are speaking to her, she's listening to what you are saying. She's actually envisioning what you are looking for, asks clarifying questions, and then makes all your dreams (about your dog's hair) come true!! I wouldn't recommend anyone else in the world, she is the best. And when you find the best, you are not allowed to tie them up and keep them in your attic... read more

Wonderful experience--fit me in the day before and was done in a couple hours. Asked all the right questions beforehand and while booking--breed info, coat, etc...and were very personable, used my name, remembered me from my call etc. --this is my favorite local city groomer so far of the three that I've been to and by and far the best experience. A+, highly recommend! read more

My husband brought our long-haired cat in to be groomed. Despite our best efforts he had developed some tough mats in his thick fur. He is also pretty feisty and doesn't like being brushed, let alone being buzzed. The groomers at Bark Ave. did an amazing job! They were friendly, quick and great with our kitty. Plus the price was more than reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

I've been taking my German Shepard to this groomer for over a year and they are fantastic with larger dogs. He usually gets very nervous about baths and they are such professionals that he now gets excited when it's time to go there! You can tell how much these people love your animal. read more

Bark Avenue Pet Salon - Looking like a hunk after a perfect day at Bark Avenue - Pet Groomers Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I took my cat here not too long ago. I had a appointment for a trim. I'm not sure if i'm just not asking for the right thing but I wasn't happy with the work that was done. When making a grooming appointment I expressed the main things i wanted done and that was her back end being shaved and her paws being cleaned up and cut. That didn't mean to me that it was going to be the only thing being done. My main problem here is that she still had a knot on her back end after the shaving and a few other ones on her whole body. This was one of the main reason i took her in because she is long hair and it's hard for me to take them out. So this would mean she wasn't even brushed thoroughly. Like i said i'm not sure if i have the wrong idea of what i'm asking to be done. There was no bath, her ears were still dirty, nails weren't cut, no overall trim of her body and again knots still in her hair. Now i have to find someone else to groom her when she was just at a groomers and she currently smells. Which is why i wanted her to come in. Anyone who owes a cat knows it's hard to wash them yourself. I tried to call the salon a few times and for some reason my calls aren't going through. I would have loved to express my concerns with the owner and not have to write a review but i wasn't able to get through. Very nice people but regardless if a bath or anything else wasn't included in the service i got not even brushing her so she doesn't have any more knots is just lazy. It's high stress for cats to go to a groomer so i try to take her only a few times a year, for her to have to go somewhere else because everything wasn't correctly just puts more stress on her. Please concern thoroughly asking about what you're getting with your service when booking here. read more

I have been taking my dog to Bark Avenue for over two years now. Every time she returns home she is happy and very well groomed. Megan does a great job and I never have any fears of leaving my dog with her. The salon is very cute and open. Megan has also always been very accommodating to my schedule as well. I highly recommend Bark Avenue! read more

A group of great ladies! Only drawback is the parking situation but I still tell all my friends who live nearby to go there. I will add a star once they get parking. read more

We just got home from having our Cavachon groomed by Megan. She did an excellent job at making our pup feel comfortable and it was a wonderful first experience at the Bark Avenue Pet Salon. We will definitely be returning in the future and are thankful that they could fit us in on a busy weekend. Megan was very kind and compassionate to our pup Carrie and that was truly appreciated! read more

Love Bark Ave! Meghan is great and always does a great job on my cockapoo. What I love about this place is that its not over booked like most groomers are. He goes in for his appt and is out in an hour or 2 at the most and looks very well professionally groomed. All the other places I have taken him to in the past he will be there for like 6-8 hours and comes out very choppy looking. So this is by far one of the better groomers I have been to in the area and at a good price too. And as a bonus they get their cute little photo posted on their fb page :) read more

Meghan is great with my 15 year old terrier, going out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable. She doesn't like other dogs and Meghan always schedules her last. read more

I have had very negative experiences with this groomer. There is only one groomer in this shop,and in my experience she does anything she wants despite warnings and requests by pet owners. She gave my easygoing dog a totally lopsided hair cut. She cut one side of her face and body very short and the other side she left long. Refused to fix it. My friends tiny fearful dog was subjected to electric clippers although he was adamant about not using them on his little guy. I don't recommend this salon! read more

Not recommended at all. We had a horrible experience with grooming our dog. Our dog came back to us sticky and terrified of bath tubs. She is so traumatized that she won't even let her regular groomer bath her anymore. After much back and forth with both this company and our credit card company, the owner agreed to mail us a refund check and then never did. She stopped responding to our messages and basically blocked us. Horrible customer service and ridiculous business practices. Don't agree to send a refund and then never send it, it only makes your company look even worse. Save your dog the trauma and yourself the drama, take your business elsewhere. read more

They are so nice and remember my dog when she walks in. Appointments are flexible and grooming is quick and looks awesome. Great place and great people!! read more

Newest and best groomers around. My 3 standard poodles are rockstars now and they love it. The owners love what they do and it shows on my pups when they get back all spruced up for a reasonable price. read more
