Welcome to the Outer Barks... celebrating our 25th year as the premier dog (and kitty) store on the Outer Banks!
The Outer Barks was founded in 2000 by Robin & Kevin Carey. The Outer Barks was conceived to celebrate the human - canine bond.

We share our lives with our four-legged kids: We moved to the Outer Banks in 1999 from Columbus, Ohio. Both of us worked at Ohio State (Kevin for 19 years, Robin for 3, then she worked for Ohio Health). We vacationed in the Outer Banks for many years and hated to leave, so we bought a beach house in 1996. That was not enough, we wanted to live in the Banks and shore our lives doing something fun. Hence, the Outer Barks was conceived in 1997 and opened in 2000. We now have over 1000 sq. feet of space filled with everything that says "I love my fur kid(s)".

Outer Barks was named National Retailer of the Year Runner-Up in 2010 by the Pet Product News International.
