Barkly Heights Pet Spa, formerly Furry Tails, is owned and run by certified groomer Michelle Belluardo. Belluardo started this business because she loves dogs and wanted to make sure they are properly cared for. At Barky, there are no cages or conveyer belt treatment of the animals, in an effort to make the animals feel relaxed and at home. The grooming products are pesticide free, organic and designed to promote healthy skin. The small, clean grooming facility focuses on haircuts, baths and nail care. The animals are there for an average of four hours and return for maintenance every four to six weeks.
