ABOUT US

What started in 2009 as an at-home business baking doggie treats for furry friends has blossomed into an elegant doggie paradise, offering a wide array of gifts and accessories to dazzle your senses and those of your four legged friend. Our goal is to provide our clientele with an ever-changing selection of unique items, many one-of-a kind, that will surely make a statement for both you and your dog.

The Bark Avenue Boutique’s owner, Donna Marie, combines her knowledge of fashion with her love of dogs to bring only the finest items to her shop. Her enthusiasm for all things dogs is quite evident, too, in her approach to satisfying her clients. Donna Marie’s warm and engaging personality ensures that your visit to The Bark Avenue Boutique will leave you with a most memorable shopping experience.

Since opening our retail store in 2010, we have had the honor of receiving awards for Best of Philadelphia, Best Of Main Line Today, Best of Main Line Magazine and Best of Suburban Life. We also were chosen to participate in Philadelphia Magazine’s 2011 Design Home. Additionally, we have been featured in People Magazine for pets, Fido’s Friendly magazine, and have had appearances on CBS, NBC and The WB.

MISSION STATEMENT

To provide both you and your precious pooch with an unforgettable shopping experience, combining an exceptional degree of customer service with an outstanding selection of unique and custom accessories.

OUR STORES

From the moment you first enter Bark Avenue Boutique, which we’ve been told resembles an upscale shop you’d find in Manhattan, you’ll realize this is not an ordinary store for dogs. You’re immediately greeted with a sense of sophistication as you take in all that’s before you. A mahogany armoire is brimming over with all the latest in fashionable clothing for your pooch. With labels such as Puppia and Susan Lancy Designs, you’re sure to find just the right outfit for that special occasion. If it’s a leash or collar you need, we offer everything from those beautifully made with Lilly Pulitzer fabrics to those custom made from exquisite leathers. Looking for a special piece of jewelry for your pup, or perhaps yourself? You’ll find a beautiful selection on display. Throughout the Boutique you’ll be drawn to the unique artwork covering the walls. Various artists portray a wide array of breeds in unique settings. These framed prints have been immensely popular, and many have matching greeting cards. Many items sold in The Bark Avenue Boutique are custom made. Take a look at our feeding tables made from original wine crates, complete with markings and labels. Or those crafted from cigar and other uniquely styled boxes, and you’ll see these are not your ordinary feeders. Other custom items, such strollers, car seats and beds, can be ordered for the precise size, fabric and color that will not only provide comfort for your pup, but beauty to your home as well.

Donna Marie devotes endless hours searching for unique, trendy and one-of-a-kind items for her clientele. If there is something you would like but don’t see, just ask Donna Marie. The success of our business has come about by way of her willingness to do whatever it takes to satisfy her clients. And Donna Marie’s warm personality makes everyone feel instantly at home. In fact, many of our regular clients are greeted not only by name, but with a hug, too! If you are in Ardmore, we hope you’ll stop and visit us in Suburban Square. We also have a new store within The Pet Village, in Wayne. Whether it’s an accessory for your own precious pup, or a gift for a friend or relative’s pooch, you’ll surely be delighted with all The Bark Avenue Boutique has to offer! Hugs and kisses to your pooches!
