Alexandria, VA – Welcome to The Dog Park, 705 King Street in Old Town, a locally owned pet boutique specializing in unique items for your dog and cat and with a full-service grooming salon.
Markos Panas, Noelie Rickey, and Doug Abedje, owners since November 22, 2022, transformed the store into a place for hard-to-find items and services. In April 2023, the shop added grooming services seven days a week with two experienced groomers, Cherie Fresquez and Melina Talavera. Bathing, trimming, brushing, mat removal, hand removal, nail care, and tooth brushing are offered.
The Dog Park’s lead groomer, Cherie, specializes in hand stripping, a time-consuming process that manually pulls off the dead topcoat of fur without cutting the hairy wires to preserve their beautifully textured coats.
The Dog Park offers an amazing variety of North American-made treats, decorated dog cookies, chews, and seeds for every canine taste. And without The Dog Park, Noeli will make it his mission to find things that are hard to find.
Having worked for many years as a veterinary technician and retail regional manager, Noeli is a source of knowledge for her patrons and understands the unique relationship each pet owner has with their companion. He is always ready to offer information to help customers solve challenging problems with their pets.
The store has been a fixture in the community for over 13 years. Now Noelie, Markos and Doug are eager to make sure the store reflects their commitment to the neighborhood. They look forward to seeing and serving your pet this holiday season and beyond.
“People came in with their animals, and they were happy,” said Markos. “You have an animal, and everyone can connect.” Noeli chimes in, “I always tell people that if you’re having a bad day, you’re in the wrong place; the kind of vibe here is cute toys, happy people, and dogs.”
Open seven days a week, please visit the knowledgeable and friendly staff of The Dog Park at 705 King Street in Old Town. Hours are Sunday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and Monday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. To learn more, please visit thedogpark.com or call 703-888-2818.
