was urgently looking for a place open late since I work long hours, and I happened to find Bark Ave while searching for a vet on a Saturday night. They are open until 10pm on Saturdays, which was such a relief! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted and offered water, coffee, or tea — it truly felt like walking into a spa. The staff asked all the right questions and gave me clear answers to help my fur baby. I never felt rushed, but I also didn’t feel like I was waiting forever. Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, and patient. You can truly tell the doctor cares deeply about her clients and every pet that comes through the door. They also offer great membership options, which is a nice bonus! I highly recommend Bark Ave to anyone looking for compassionate and professional care. 🐶

We took our pup in to have his split nail removed. It was super easy to book and they had the availability we wanted in comparison with other places which had a month’s wait list. Everything was explained extremely well by Sarais and she answered all questions we had fully. They took good care of our pup and we’re very grateful to Bark Ave and would definitely use them again. Thank you!

Bark Ave was absolutely amazing. They took my dog in right away when we needed help, and the entire staff was incredibly kind, compassionate, and caring. You can truly tell they love what they do and genuinely care about the animals that come through their doors. The office is also spotless and beautiful, which immediately made us feel comfortable. This was honestly one of the best vet experiences we’ve ever had. I’m so grateful for their help and highly recommend Bark Ave to anyone looking for a caring and professional veterinary team. Huge thank you to Sarais for going above and beyond for us!
