'I’d much rather dogs over children if I’m being honest' says Manchester Barkside owner
We went to Barkside located in Kampus to talk to some of the staff here about the brilliant offerings that they have for our dog-friendly Manchester series.
Barkside which is run and operated by the Davies family, LG Davies is the owner and we sat down with her sister Leah to talk a little bit about what this place has to offer.
Leah Ven Davies said: “So originally we just started because there was nothing out there. Myself and my sister were looking for our dogs and there isn't anything out there that fitted what we wanted and what we thought so we wanted modern and creative and just a bit out there. And yeah that was it really so we started looking we started dog walking and did that for two three years then we got our first day care in Ardwick and then in 2017 we found our big unit on Travis Street and that's when we grew and added the shop boomers and then and a half year ago we got this edition.”
Leah also mentions that Barkside’s quote is ‘all things dog’ and with that, they strive to fulfil all the needs of a dog and their owner here in Manchester.
She said: “I think first and foremost we're northern and we just love everything and everybody and every animal and you know we want to share our homes and our lives and our social side with the things that we love and that's dogs so why wouldn't you allow them in bars or restaurants or just anywhere really.”
Adding: “I’d much rather dogs over children if I’m being honest they’re better behaved.”
Here at Barkside, you have a brilliant opportunity to come down and relax with your dog and there's a even places across Manchester that are also becoming more dog-friendly.
