Bark & Purr
A quiet, unhurried sanctuary for dogs & cats — where your anxious one is met by name, at their pace, by people trained to keep them at ease.
We protect calm before anything else — because a pet who feels safe is a pet who gets a better groom, and a PAWrent who feels that comes home to a happier animal.
No conveyor belt. Each sPAW Day is paced to the pet — the nervous rescue, the senior cat, the puppy on their first visit. A few things, done beautifully.
The full sPAW Day — bath, brush-out, breed-aware styling and the finishing touches — delivered at a pace your dog sets. Low-stress handling, quiet tools, and a groomer who learns their tells.

Cats aren’t an afterthought here. A calmer, separate rhythm — minimal restraint, feline-first handling, and de-shedding or a lion trim from people who actually like working with cats.

When you travel, they stay somewhere that feels like rest — not a kennel. Quiet rooms, real routines, and a T.A.I.L.S. Report so you know how their day went, wherever you are.
Explore boarding →The thing that keeps anxious pets calm isn’t a product — it’s a rhythm. Here’s the one we hold to, every time.
No rush, no crowd at the door. We greet your pet at their level and let them set the pace into a space built to feel quiet.
The same trained hands, learning what soothes yours specifically — where they like to be touched, what they don’t, when they need a pause.
Tranquil Tail Grooming® at their tempo. Breaks when they need them. Never restrained into compliance — eased into trust.
You come back to a happy pet and a short, honest note on how their day went — the small wins, the things we noticed, the next best date to return.

Slide to see a real Bark & Purr sPAW Day. No drama, no muzzle stress — just a careful groom and a pet who got there at their own pace.
My cat has never let anyone near her with clippers. They took an hour just to let her settle — and she came home looking incredible and completely unbothered. I’ve never seen anything like it.
For the regulars. The pets who do best on a steady rhythm, and the PAWrents who’d rather not think about it. Predictable pricing, priority booking, and Zen Paws Rewards built in.
Book a sPAW Day, or call and just talk it through — especially if yours is the anxious one. That’s exactly who we’re built for.
