New Service offered by Bark Avenue Bark Avenue -- a gift registry service for Puppy Showers.
It works much like a bridal shower registry: the “new mom” gets a Puppy Shower Gift Registry Checklist from Bark Avenue to create her wish list of items she needs and/or wants for her new pooch.

After filling out your Puppy Shower Gift Registry form (a Microsoft Word document), you email it to Bark Avenue as an attachment or fax it to us at (904) 261-2246. Then we at Bark Avenue will create a special page on our website, exclusively for you and your pooch, listing the items in your registry. See our Sample Gift Registry

Then you invite your guests to the shower (Blue Invitations | Pink Invitations), informing them that the “new mom” is registered at Bark Avenue Pet Boutique on a page that's devoted exclusively to your Puppy Shower Gift Registry (e.g., Fido Gift Registry).

Friends then order online from the registry.

Bark Avenue maintains the list up-to-date as items are purchased, to minimize duplicate items and the need for returns.

A Puppy Shower with Bark Avenue is easy, fun, and unique! Set one up for your pooch today.

Please allow 3 business days to set up your Puppy Shower Gift Registry page on our website. Thanks.

7 Steps to a Successful Puppy Shower

1. Send out Puppy Shower invitations (available at Bark Avenue Pet Boutique: Blue Invitations | Pink Invitations). Or email them to your friends.

2. Allow guests to bring their pet, assuming they are all up to date on their vaccinations and do not have any communicable diseases. This will allow your puppy to get used to being around other dogs as well as people.

3. Think about the items you need/want now that you have a new puppy and register in advance. Registering for the items you need and want will minimize duplicate gifts and the need to return items.

4. Decorate using paw print balloons, napkins, & plates, bone shaped cake and/or cookies, etc.

5. Be sure to have enough treats, water bowls and poop bags available for the pooches who attend.

6. Allow for play time for the pooches to get to know each other and socialize. Keep in mind, if your dog will be meeting other dogs for the first time, be sure to introduce them to the other dogs in small groups first rather than putting them with a large group of dogs they don’t know.

7. Relax and have fun! Be sure to send photos (digital, preferably) to Bark Avenue so we can consider putting them on our website.
