Bark Avenue Pet Salon

Jun 2024

There are A LOT of groomers in very dog-friendly Wilmington NC. However, there's only one Bark Avenue and Christy. The premises are always spotless and Christy's wonderful little boy (Boo-Boo) patters about spreading calm and cheer to the clients. No racks of terrified pups awaiting their turn here, just a quiet, welcoming efficiency hangs in the air.
Christy herself is outstanding at her craft PLUS she listens carefully to what owners want done and always follows through. She is friendly, knowledgeable and highly professional. Finally, Christy is great at predicting what time your pup will be ready and, if she's held up for some reason, she lets you know in plenty...read full review

I took my three shih tzu’s to get groomed by Christy for the first time today. We recently moved and this would be the first time with a new groomer and I was a little nervous. Christy was so warm and welcoming and really listened to how I wanted each dog to be groomed. I also explained their different personalties and their comfort level on being handled. When I came back to pick them up, they were all in good spirits and they looked absolutely amazing!! I’m so happy that I found her and won’t have to look any further for groomer for my pups!

My miniature schnauzer Jackson had his first groom with Christy today and she is wonderful! I knew the moment I met her that he'd be in good hands. She is very warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease right away. My little guy can be quite a handful when it comes to getting his paws groomed and nails cut. He is not a fan of having his feet touched but Christy did a great job and was very patient with him. He looks fantastic with his new haircut. He wasn't stressed when I picked him up and was happy on the ride home. I highly recommend Christy and Bark Avenue and am happy to have found our new groomer here in Wilmington.
