Question?
No more guessing games about your pet’s health
With monthly wellness themes and annual exams built right in, you’ll always know where your bestie stands. From tummy troubles to heart health, we proactively screen, test, and explain everything—clearly and compassionately. You get the answers before anything becomes a problem, and your pet gets the gift of long-term vitality.
No more stressful, last-minute appointments
We know emergencies don’t wait—and neither should you. Bestie Club members get priority access to same-day or next-day appointments, so your pet gets the care they need, right when they need it. No juggling schedules. No calling every vet in the county. Just one call (or text), and we’ve got you.
No more “surprise” invoices — just upfront, honest pricing
We believe transparency is the ultimate form of trust. That’s why every membership tier comes with clear pricing, built-in services, and no unexpected add-ons. You’ll know exactly what’s included, and when something extra is recommended, we’ll walk you through it like a friend—not a salesperson.

I couldn’t be happier with the emergency care our dog received today. After a tumble during her evening zoomies she started limping and we knew she needed to be seen. The care she received was exceptional; from reception, to techs, to the vet herself- they all treated my dog with such kindness and patience. They were extremely upfront about cost of care and gave me a breakdown of what each course of treatment would potentially cost before making a decision. Read More...

I must say… I love everything about Bark Ave. The staff is warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door. Upon entering, Brittney offered refreshments, and escorted me to a waiting room exclusively for cats.
The vet tech Kaitlyn evaluated my little foster kittens efficiently and thoroughly. Dr Primicias is a kind and compassionate doctor. Read More...

Hands down the best veterinary hospital I’ve ever been to! I was genuinely amazed the moment I walked in. We were greeted and checked in by Anne-Marie, who was sweet and very helpful.
She was incredibly gentle and caring with our dog. Then Dr. Primicias came in to examine our dog. She took the time to listen to our concerns and thoroughly explained the recommended treatment. She was compassionate, professional, and truly an amazing doctor! Read More...
