 MEET The OWNERS
Here's how it all began…
In 1955, an insightful Austin pet groomer opened Bark 'N Purr. When she was well into her seventies and eager to retire, she decided to sell the business. She wouldn't sell her store to just anyone; she wanted a family to run it. That's when we came into the picture. That was the year 2000.
Meet our family...
We're the Floyds. I'm Carol. And I'm married to Ed. We live just above the store. I like to shop, he likes to build things, and we both love having a glass of wine on the porch at the end of the day. We have three adult children and two of them, Chantel and Brandon, work right beside us in the store. Last but not least of the group is our family pet, a 16 year old Schnauzer named Spanky.
Where we are...
When Ed retired from chemical engineering and I'd finished raising the kids, we decided that we wanted to go into business. We bought Bark 'N Purr and got to work. We began bringing in high quality foods. When local grocery stores started stocking a few of the fancier name brands, we took it to the next level. Now, we are one of the only places in the country that offers such a high quality selection.
Where we're going...
The Floyd's are here to stay. We have big plans for Bark 'N Purr. We are now offering a home delivery service and we will always be working to supply Austin pets with the best nutrition available. Ed and I like to vacation, but we love coming back home to our store, to our kids and to our great big Austin family.
