Who We Are

Community Bark was founded in 2009 with the desire to create a better experience for pups and their people. Modeled after the South Bark Dog Wash in San Diego, we were inspired by the quality and energy of their wonderful shop (as well as their awesome Blueberry Facial). We did our best to recreate that unique atmosphere here in Milwaukee!

Now as 100% women-owned locations, our two hands-on owners, Amanda (Bayside) and Mary (Bay View) are committed to providing the best experience possible. They are both lifelong Milwaukee residents, and dog owners themselves!

Our Mission
