About Us

Bark Fifth Ave: A Fashion Boutique for your Distinguished Doggie
There are dogs and then there are jet-setting dogs. Bark Fifth Avenue is one of the purveyors of all things high-end pooch. We have a fabulous line of fashionable accessories dedicated to jet-setting dogs, decorated with silk bows, lace, frills, and rhinestones. Lines include ultra-comfortable car seats, fashionable dog totes, sleeping beds, and drink bowls. Don't forget doggie passport covers for those long international flights abroad!
Bark Fifth Avenue is a must shopping experience for the dog with an elite and sophisticated taste in fashion. We sell exclusive designer dog clothing and high-end accessories. We started with a strong passion for fashion and of course, passion for dogs! Walking runways and dressing up animals is something owner Atlanta fashion model Ashley Carestia has been doing since childhood. “I love fashion and I love Chihuahuas, so why not have the best of both worlds?" Thus, Bark Fifth Avenue was created. We provide both an online location and retail boutique in Buckhead where upscale pet owners can treat their four-legged family members to only the best in fashion, travel, and accessories. Whether it’s that extra special outfit for a dressy occasion or an everyday polo, Bark Fifth Avenue has it.
