Review from Derek T.
6/13/2011
I moved here a few weeks ago from Boston (.......yeah, yeah, I'm a Canuck fan though) and I went to look for a place to groom my dog. The great thing about living Downtown is the large amount of dog stores, especially in Yaletown, however, finding one to groom my dog for a reasonable price is difficult. I spent an hour reading all the reviews on Yelp and Google and finally stumbled on the Bark and Fitz. I called in and was greeted with a very friendly woman who mentioned that there is about a 1 to a 1.5 week wait list to get my dog groomed. Immediately I grinned and made an appointment; the wait list can only mean that the quality tends to match the price paid.
I originally gave them four stars, however, when I picked up my dog, they got the extra 5th star. I'm used to having my dog being put in a crate after they have been groomed and once in a while, a tad wet. As I went to the grooming room, I noticed my dog was allowed to walk around (not crated), had a companion there who he adored, and he was completely dry.
I'm glad I found the Bark and Fitz. -

Great location for a dog store. It's like the Starbucks for dogs. The dog biscuits have something in it that the dogs go crazy for. I like to go there and buy the fancy dog biscuits for all the good little dogs I know. They do need more selection there at the store.
Very friendly staff! They have two dogs employed there as greeters. :-) -

Nice store, lovely dogs and friendly groomer. I wished they carried more raw food products, and more eco-friendly/ organic dog toys and clothing. I believe they carry doggy muffins, and they seem to be a pretty popular product. They have a nice display case full of dog biscuits, in which my dogs seem to love. All in all, nice location, nice store, I'd just wish they would carry a lot more products. They need variety in raw food and better quality toys.

I love this place. They are a cute little boutique down by the water, but their prices don't seem to be all that different from the larger chains (Bosleys, Tisol, etc). I come here for cat food, actually, and although they are primarily a dog store and their cat food/toy selection is limited, everything they sell is excellent quality. They stock Misery's brand of cat food and her favourite treats, and sometimes I pick her up a toy. I have also shopped for my mom's dog here a couple of times and love their selection of sweaters. It's definitely a quality-over-quantity store. The staff are super friendly as well! I'd be curious to try the groomers (for the dog, not the cat, ha!), because the reviews all sound great.

The Coal Harbour area is the stomping ground for me and my pooch, Rocco and a dog store has finally opened it's doors. Bark & Fitz offers several products from natural foods, doggy wares and accessories.
They also have a groomer on site which makes this a great one stop shop for both the owner and their furry friends. My favorite find? A waterproof, nylon, fur-trimmed hooded jacket by Puppia ($58 CDN). Rocco seems to be a big fan as he didn't put up a fight when I was putting it on him.

Bark & Fitz is a cute little pet store with high end pet food, treats, doggie sweaters, and toys. They even sell baked goods for your pooch. Two resident dogs hang out behind the desk along with their owner. I like a store that has friendly people working there so I really like Bark & Fitz.

This is Ripley's all time favourite store. He gets treats from the people working here...and I get to buy his special liver fillet treats. This is a really friendly and fun place to stop with or without your pet. The resident bullies are always amusing and the staff is super. I can't seem to pass by without stopping in ....esp. if Ripley is along. Coal Harbour is great dog walking area so Bark and Fitx is a natural.

I don't understand why Silvia K. doesn't like Bark and Fitz. I live in Coal Harbour. Everyone I know loves Bark and Fitz. They have the best service ever. Recently I just moved to this area and I really don't want to go to Bosleys where everyone goes. I want more like a boutique shop and I need people who really know and care about dogs. The customer service I got from there was amazing. I have a 4 years old poodle and the groomer did a amazing job on the cut. I didn't have any problem with my dogs ears.

I take both of my dogs to Bark and Fitz to get groomed and they LOVE the girl that does the grooming. She is relaxed and calm with the dogs and with the exception of the ONE time they were done by another groomer(he's gone now), they have always come back happy and looking fantastic!
I only give them 4 stars because their products have huge markups, the grooming is reasonably priced though. And the staff is always really nice. -

Great location, clean and well stocked shop. The woman who helped was friendly and informative. But the two guys working at the front didn't even greet us or ask for assistance. They were texting or something. They should do this in the back office, not in front of customers. I was definitely not impressed with the boys. 4 stars for presentation and the girl. -5 stars for the not so friendly fellas.
