Bark Avenue is a luxury doggy day care, pet hotel and cattery at 55 Airdrie Road in Swanson, West Auckland. Its distinctive feature is that it is set up as a pet hotel rather than a kennel. Dogs stay in purpose-built indoor units with raised beds and bedding, and the website says they are not housed in concrete or wooden kennels. Dogs can take part in group play and enrichment activities during the day.
The Forest Adventures are outings in a natural setting for exercise and social play. They can be booked on their own or added to a day care visit or a stay. Dog grooming is also offered. Stays can be a single day or a longer holiday, and there are discounts for long-term boarding.
The cattery is called Kitty City. It has individual sleeping units, cat climbers and lounging areas, and it is air-conditioned all day and night. The space has large windows, and each unit has its own litter tray and bedding. Cats from the same household can share a double unit, and a separate exercise room is there for shy cats.
Customers who have left reviews say the staff are friendly, that their dogs come home happy, and that their pets are excited to arrive. The website describes the business as five-star.
