Bark Alley

Bark Alley 1-on-1 pet dog grooming. Our focus is gentle, quality care. You never have to worry about your dog’s comfort or safety. Welcome to Bark Alley Dog Spa!

Every dog deserves a calm, trusting grooming experience with top quality shampoos and conditions made with clean ingredients. After several years away from the industry, I’m excited to return with a renewed focus on pet care that emphasizes wellbeing, safety, comfort, and individual attention. At Bark Alley, we offer one-on-one grooming services to ensure your dog receives personalized care in a c

alm, low-stress environment. Each of our shampoos and conditioners are free of toxins frequently found in pet products, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free, each selected with your dog’s health and comfort in mind. Each grooming session is tailored to meet your dog’s specific needs, whether it’s a soothing bath, a tidy trim, or a full grooming service. Our priority is to create a positive experience that supports your dog’s overall wellness. Beginning June 11, 2025 we are booking our Basic Pet Care package. Now through September we will gradually increase our services to include full grooming packages. We invite you to stop in and tour Bark Alley. We would be honored to discuss your pets needs. We look forward to welcoming you and your pet to Bark Alley!

Thank you keeping up with the progress of our reopening. We’re close. We’re grateful for your willingness to walk beside us and offer your patience.

Bark Alley is my part-time business. Being honest, we did not think through the timing on opening the grooming spa. Opening a second business during the most hectic time of year for our other business was poor planning and a recipe for failure. Our best option was to stop, breathe, and regroup.

We now have a better grasp on a manageable availability schedule for grooming appointments. I have to wait on one more piece of the puzzle to be completed. That should happen by next week. (We’re waiting on the final word from someone on a totally different subject. They keep rescheduling, causing us to have to continue postponing. The outcome impacts the weekday hours of availability)

We’re trying. We’re grateful for your willingness to walk beside us and offer your patience while we learn to juggle.

This week we celebrate International Dog day, and it’s got us thinking about how Reiki can support the canine kingdom.

My own dog Georgie is in a cone at the moment to help him recover from a hotspot on his paw - so I have been sending him Reiki to calm any anxiety and support healing.

🐾 Why Dogs Love Reiki

💚Calming Energy: Reiki provides soothing energetic support to help dogs relax, reducing stress, anxiety, and restlessness.

💚Reiki is for all dogs: Each dog has its own unique personality, temperament, and health challenges. Reiki adapts beautifully to the unique needs of every dog - regardless of size or breed!

💚Pain relief & Comfort: Reiki supports physical healing, eases tension, and offers comfort for aging dogs or those recovering from illness. The dog is in control of how the session goes, and how much Reiki they accept! Plus it supports traditional medical care.

💚Strengthening Bonds: Dogs love having quality time with their people. Reiki deepens trust and strengthens the animal-human bond through calm, loving presence.

Have you shared Reiki with your pets?

If you’ve known me for a while, you probably remember how deeply involved I used to be in animal rescue—from serving on boards and managing disaster response teams to cleaning kennels and everything in between. There came a time when I had to step away. Compassion fatigue is very real, and I had to heal.

That said, I think I’ve found the rescue I could be comfortable volunteering with! ❤️
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of vending at an event to help support Far Fetched Dog Rescue. The volunteers were warm, passionate, and genuinely joyful and the level of care the organization provides for their rescues is impressive.
If you're looking to adopt, foster, donate, or even just share, please check them out.

Far Fetched Dog Rescue is a foster based 501c3 non profit dog rescue in the Indianapolis Area.
