Where it all started in 2008. Boarding, daycare, grooming, and training, seven days a week.
The Original Location
Caring for Ankeny Dogs Since 2008
Ankeny is where Bark Avenue started, and it is still the resort our longest-running families come back to.
Everything happens under one roof here. Boarding suites with raised beds, supervised play groups sorted by size and personality, a full grooming salon for dogs and cats, and a training program that starts with a free evaluation.
