The Bark Shack is located in Hickory, NC and offers grooming and boarding services for both cats and dogs. We provide a fun, loving environment where pets are pampered and cared for. We are committed to making every visit a joyful and comfortable experience for your pet. Owned and operated by Shannon Smith and Laurie Heavner, and backed by over 20 years of experience and a lifelong passion for animals.
Animal safety is my number one concern. I take my time when I groom and give dogs breaks if they're nervous or fidgety. If you want a speedy groom, this is not the place for you. Dogs are never put in kennels unless they pose a threat to another dog. There are a few areas sectioned off with plenty of room for your dog to play with other dogs they are comfortable with. I spend time bonding with each and every pet, which results in a safer and less stressful grooming experience for your baby.
PetSmart
Hickory keeps it simple, with the salon and the training room sharing one roof at our store off Catawba Valley Blvd SE. Grooming belongs to academy-trained Pet Stylists with over 800 hours of hands-on experience, who handle baths, full grooms, and haircuts for any breed while specially formulated shampoos and conditioners soothe and improve skin and coat and de-shedding treatments restore matted coats. Walk-in quick services like nail grinds and ear cleaning off 8th St Dr SE keep the in-between covered, and Seasonal Specials and complete spa packages stretch dog grooming in Hickory across every pet in the household. The brands Hickory pet parents buy are on our shelves beside our own labels. Place the order online and take it curbside without going in. The adoption center inside our store, with PetSmart Charities, introduces cats and kittens to the families looking for them. Training runs on positive reinforcement, with Accredited Trainers guiding puppies and adult dogs through group classes that fold in real distractions, private sessions paced to a single dog, and an advanced class for the next chapter, plus savings packages when you combine courses. What your dog learns in that room stays with them after the last session.
