Barkin’ Creek is a boutique pet care brand offering grooming, retail, daycare, and their own line of made-from-scratch dog food and treats. Across four locations—three in Austin and one in Dallas—each space is designed to reflect the brand’s commitment to quality, wellness, and hospitality for both pets and their humans.

We prioritized daylight and transparency—keeping grooming stations and daycare areas near windows to reduce stress for dogs and maintain a sense of connection to the outside world. Every surface is considered for durability and ease of cleaning, from tiled splash zones to non-slip floors and cleanable walls.

The modern, wood-and-tile palette reflects the brand’s elevated identity, while custom millwork supports retail displays, check-in counters, and food merchandising. The consistent success of Barkin’ Creek’s concept speaks to the power of a client with a clear vision—and a belief that good design should serve both people and pets.
