Meet Our Team

Megan Ames

President/Owner

Hey there! I'm Megan, and I am thrilled to welcome you to the wonderful world of Bark & Luv! As the proud owner of this natural pet store and self-dog wash in beautiful Chandler, Arizona, I found my calling by combining two of my biggest passions: animals and their nutritional wellbeing.

With my background as a seasoned veterinary technician and certified in pet food nutrition, I have dedicated my career to ensuring that our furry friends get the absolute best. After witnessing a need for a store that offers top-notch, all-natural products for pets, I took the plunge and started Bark & Luv - a place where you can find everything your beloved companion deserves.

But Bark & Luv is more than just a store to me; it's a community that celebrates the furry wonders of the world. I strive to create a welcoming environment where pet parents can come together, share stories, and seek advice for their fur babies. It's about going beyond a transaction - it's about building relationships and supporting one another on this incredible journey we call pet parenthood.

So, whether you're in search of the best in pet nutrition, a fellow animal lover looking for a chat, or simply need a relaxing self-dog wash experience, Bark & Luv is your go-to destination! Let's come together and give our pets the love, care, and nourishment they deserve.

Can't wait to meet you and your furry friends at Bark & Luv!

Elliot

Executive Treat Taster

Hey there, pawsome peeps! I’m Elliot, the short-haired, miniature dachshund with a big appetite for spreading the bark on the best treats and eats! You can often spot me trotting around Bark & Luv, where my official title is the Executive Treat Taster. Yup, you heard it right! My job is to sniff out the most delicious and all-natural dog foods, treats and mouthwatering barkery goods out there. When it comes to food, I’m like a furry culinary expert! Whether you need recommendations for the tastiest treats or the coolest frozen raw goodies, I’ve got your back – or rather, your belly! My sniffer is top-notch, and my taste buds are finely tuned to appreciate only the most delicious and nutritious norms.

With my expertise, you’ll never settle for anything less than the paw-some treats and foods that both you and your hooman will absolutely adore. Remember, when it comes to food, trust the one with the shiny short hair and big appetite – that’s me, Elliot!

Piper

Director of Style

Hey there, fur friends! I’m Piper, the fabulous long-haired, miniature dachshund ruling the style game at Bark & Luv. As the Director of Style, I’ve got one paw ahead of the fashion pack in finding the most paw-some self-dog wash products and pet apparel around. When it comes to pampering pooches, nobody does it better than me. From sniffing out the tastiest scented shampoos to curating the trendiest clothing ensembles, I’ve got your furry fashion needs covered.

Henry

Chief Ball Inspector

Hey there, I’m Henry, your favorite four-legged pup with a passion for all things balls! From tennis balls to squeakers, I am the ultimate expert in inspecting and approving them. Catch me strutting my stuff around Bark & Luv, where I fulfill my important duty as Chief Ball Inspector. It’s my responsibility to make sure every ball meets the highest standards of tail-wagging fun and durability! I may be small, but my love for chasing and playing with balls is larger than life. When I’m not busy inspecting balls, you can find me wagging my tail, burying my bones, or relaxing in any speck of sunlight that I can find (it's my ultimate weakness, who can resist?). So, if you’re ever in need of some ball-related advice or just want to see a handsome, loveable wiener dog with an air of charm and furry cuteness, come say hello! I’m always up for making new friends and sharing my expertise with fellow ball enthusiasts.

Great first visit here. Took our new puppy for a collar, toys, toothbrush, and treats. The toy section was incredible! They were super friendly and I love the self wash dog wash area for an easy way to wash your pup. They have everything. Plz note this is not a grooming location. It is for you to wash your own pup and supply everything and will do a simple wash on your pup for a fee. Really cool to have in Ahwatukee. Great place for animal gifts.

Great place to wash your dog! The set up is great and I could take both of my dogs at the same time as we had our own room!

What a great place to find dog food, treats, toys, clothes, and more. The young man behind the counter was very helpful, too. We found these awesome ceramic Pup Cups and a great dog lover t-shirt for my wife.

Rocky (my pup) and I love Bark & Luv! Beautiful store, great and many choices for food and treats. Of course Rocky loves the treats, and the chewies. He says "They are the bestest!". He also loves the Barkery cookies. So fun to pick out the adorably shaped and decorated cookies. They have a whole section for birthday food, treats and favors. Rocky really liked all of the doggie clothing, beds, collars and leashes. There are so many amazing items in the store. They also have super cool doggie washers. Rocky said he might even let me give him a bath so I could hear all of the celebrity voices. I highly recommend your dog takes you with them when they visit Bark & Luv, especially since they don't have pockets for their wallet. 😉😂
