If I could give Bark and Purr more than 10 stars I would. The owner Linda is a saint and loves all animals. Let me tell you how I know this. Sunday evening my son was out at Lake Lavon and saw a couple of stray labradoodles eating in the trash. So he brought them home and although we tried, the doodles had been loose in the brush and thickets around the lake for some time and their coats were full of burrs and sticker bushes. It was terrible. We tried to do the best cleaning we could so that at least the female doodle could eat again as the burrs were all around her mouth, but they were still in rough shape. Was planning on taking them to the Allen shelter Monday morning but they wouldn't take them as they were found outside city limits and said contact the county shelter. Unfortunately county shelter is closed on Mondays. I decided to get them a professional groom to clean them up properly but no one would see them on such short notice. A few told me that they could see them in a month even after I explained the situation. :( I called Bark and Purr and although they were closed for renovations, the owner Linda listened to the story about the doodles and told me to bring them immediately and she'll take care of them personally. And she did. Not only did they give them a shampoo and cleaning but also offered to let them stay in their kennels until we found the owners or could place them with the DFW doodle rescue as we have 2 pups and limited space. She then sent out the picture of the doodles to all her accounts and sure enough one of their customers knew the doodles' owners and contacted the owners and they were reunited. In the end not only did Bark and Purr Grooming go above and beyond what other groomers would do but also helped to reunite the doodles with their family just for the love of all animals. I couldn't have done it myself and I truly appreciated how much care Bark and Purr showed to these poor lost doodles. Highly recommend this business in every way I can. I will always be taking my muppets here from now on and tell everyone always use Bark and Purr. They truly care. Much love. read more

I've been a faithful customer, but I am considering leaving. Extra charge for using a credit card, closed on Monday, but they can't figure out how to state that on their website, asks for a tip for approximately 5 minutes of nail clip. They don't answer the phone; you must leave a message. This place was so helpful when we started going to them, but it seems to have changed management. read more

We took our new puppy here for the first time and the groomer did a beautiful job giving Lovey a summer cut. We wanted to keep some length on our sweet pup, but make sure she would be cool enough with outside temperatures. Lovey was happy when we picked her up, which tells me she was loved while there. Aside from the excellent grooming job, the staff at Bark and Purr are PHENOMENAL to their customers. I had 2 of my young daughters with me when I picked up our puppy. They were both visibly upset due to a situation unrelated to the business and the staff was beyond kind and made sure my children and I were safe and okay. We will definitely be back! Thank you Bark and Purr!!! read more

I took my cat Lucy in for grooming because she is 16 and not taking care of herself as needed. I talked to the owner the night before she told me what I needed and she said it would cost me about 50 dollars. I talked to her the next morning and she ask again what I wanted. She suggested a lions cut and I told her not really. She then told me to tell the girl inside what I wanted that she was on her way there. I told the girl I wanted her belly and behind area shaved and that was all. When I went to pick her up the same girl was there when I walked in she told me Lucy was shaved all over. When I saw Lucy I was very upset. Then she told me the cost is 150 dollars. So I had her call the owner so we could discuss the price. She lowered it to 90 dollars I paid and took Lucy home. I a still angry about this. I went to Petco the next day to buy Lucy a sweater. I was talking the the clerk on duty and told him about what happened. He ask who did it I told him and then he told me they have a habit of it and showed me a cat in the store that had the same cut as Lucy. He said Barkand Purr in Allen it it to this cat also. So if you dont want your cat shaved baked dont go to Barkand Purr. Cindy ​ read more

Bark and Purr - Alvin and Lulu leaving Bark and Purr. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Allen, Texas

This is my baby, Pebbles. She is almost 19. I RARELY take her to the groomers because I hate the stress it puts on cats. But due to matting, I can only trust a groomer to help. I found this place which has MANY good reviews and when I called, the front desk was so sweet! Upon scheduling for the next day on August 10th at 1:30 pm, I informed them that she is a senior cat while giving all necessary details about new clients. All seemed well & once I met the groomer she seemed great. They called her the "Cat Queen." She even had paintings of her own cats. Then the receptionist called out to the groomer "She's 18!" She was immediately affectionate with Pebbles as she examined her which made me firmly believe that she would be well taken care of. Upon examining Pebbles, she informed us that due to pebbles' old age she would NOT be using shavers. That deshedding and a shampoo would be best and I agreed. I initially wanted a trim and mats cut off because her hair can get really scraggly & matted. It took longer than expected which is understandable, and once 3 hours was approaching we decided to head back and wait. The groomer said it would take an additional 45 minutes because a dog was too noisy nearby. My first thought once I saw pebbles was it seemed nothing was done. The groomer started explaining pebbles had multiple mats stuck on her tummy and while using a SHAVER (which I was confused about because we BOTH agreed a shaver would NOT be used) the shaver was pulling at her very thin skin. She showed me quickly the multiple wounds she sustained while trying to shave her and my heart sank. Once I grabbed her & examined her, I noticed the larger wound on her chest area that really got me. We went back and forth a bit out of confusion because I could not understand how or why this happened. I was shaking. While the groomer went on about a senior cat's thin skin which I am well aware of, she kept expressing how she wanted to "make me happy" and asked if I truly wanted her haircut I would need to be present. I told her REPEATEDLY it was okay because my head was only focused on getting Pebbles out. While holding Pebbles, the groomer was VERY persistent on cutting more of her fur even though I kept saying it was okay. While trying to continue grooming her in my arms, I kept saying it was okay and the groomer accidentally dropped the shaver on pebbles and said "I'm more nervous here than you are." The groomer told the receptionist to only charge a bathe and was still adamant about accepting that she made a mistake on Pebbles. I went straight to an Urgent Care. The vet said this was either done by scissors, or by her fur being ripped from her skin. No, I don't want to believe this could've been done by her bare hands but scissors made me believe that she might've tried her best at first without a shaver but something obviously went very wrong here. Pebbles did not need stitches, thankfully. She needed a skin glue procedure with ointment and antibiotics. The owner messaged me thus making me believe she felt guilty and is aware she made a mistake. I appreciate the response, but it doesn't make me feel any better for my girl. I am aware they've done very well with other babies, but I am extremely saddened the same could not have been done with mine. Whether it was negligence, trying to rush, or confusion I don't know & felt the groomer was trying to blame anything else but her own fault in the moment. I still cannot wrap my head around it. They knew all the details. I take FULL responsibility for entrusting she knew what she was doing. Thank you to the receptionist for being sweet throughout everything. This is more of a lesson well learned. Just letting other cat owners know.. Photos attached: Unfortunately, no photos were taken prior to the procedure because my main focus was her well-being. The photo is after her procedure which still shows how large her flesh wound was prior to being glued. read more

They do a great job and take good care of our pets! Prices are reasonable, and they always give their best advice.

The de-shedding service is excellent. My Frenchie sheds short prickly hairs that stick to everything. I had her deshedded last time and am amazed at how well it worked. read more

I've brought my toy poodle here numerous times. They have always been professional and easy to work with. And prices are reasonable.

I have been going to Bark & Purr for about 4 months now. My dog Autumn sheds so much so I always go for any de-shedding service. Hands down this place is the only place that has been able to help with this situation. I have been to many chain places and it never works. Bark & Purr does such an amazing job that I can pet her and her hair doesn't fly all over the place! I'm always so amazed how much they can control this and to top it off it lasts such a long time! My dog is also very skittish and is comfortable when I take her and pick her up. Linda the owner is amazing always going above and beyond for my sweet dog. Would highly recommend. read more

We have been using B&P for over 10 years. Under NEW ownership and management, they have been OUTSTANDING!! Our most recent visit exceeded our expectations. One of our dogs is a challenge in getting his nails clipped and grinded. We were amazed how short and smooth they were when we got him home. His nails have been a weapon to scratch my wife and grandkids. After this visit, it is no longer a concern. B&P is very accommodating to our schedule. We have often called in on a morning when we had a few minutes to spare, and they have found a way to squeeze us into their busy schedule. If you have not used Bark and Purr, give them an opportunity. Both you and your pet will appreciate their professional and caring service. read more

So I drove past this place last night, 8/31/24, around 8:00 pm. The business was DEFINITELY closed. So I was surprised when I saw a dog, a white poodle, still in the grooming room on the table TIED TO THE ROPE. Several other people stopped when they saw this as well, and someone called the number on the door. The owner said he would come up, and we stayed until he did. I fully expected him to take the dog to their kennel, as the dog was clearly being boarded, but nope! He just untied the dog, put a water bowl in there, and left it. This business is beyond dangerous. They clearly overbooked themselves and had no place to put the dog, so they just stashed him/her in the grooming room and literally forgot about it. If we had not driven by and seen this, who knows what would have happened. If the dog had jumped down from the table while still tethered to the rope, it would have hung itself. Absolutely negligent, to say the very least. read more

My puppers always looks amazing when I pick her up! Great staff. Very friendly and helpful.

Cut my dog with razor. Took off her eyelashes in process. Brought in two doodle mixes for grooming $227!! Was extremely specific to not use the razor. Took an extra 15 minutes to tell the owners brother at the front the desk how to groom one of my dogs specifically because she does better with shears not a razor cut and she looks better too. Specifically told them this time as well as last time (yes I gave them another chance) cannot use a razor on my Sheepadoodle. I even told them that another one of their customers said that they were great because they promised to use shears on her doodle mix instead of a razor so she highly recommended. Why they cannot do the same for my dog is beyond me. Taking responsibility for your mess up with more than just a verbal "sorry" is yet another. I pick up my dogs and they immediately tell me that while the groomer was using a RAZOR, the dog turned her head (why is it always the dogs fault) and she clipped my dogs eye. Taking off the entire set of eyelashes as well as leaving a cut on her eye. By the way, they were adamant that my dog was not cut, and I only saw that when I got home. Why she was anywhere near my dogs eyes when I specifically told her to leave them alone is also a question they wouldn't answer. They refused to eat the cost and offered me what is the equivalent of MAYBE a $50 credit for a large dog "bath" (not groom) when the grooming itself cost $120 per dog. I have five dogs that I have brought to this place. None of them will return. The owner clearly needs work on his business model and customer service practices. His only promise was to "talk strongly" to the groomer the next day. This is the second time they have used a razor on my dog when I specifically told them not to, and they promised that they wouldn't. If you don't care, how a Groomer treats your dog or what you tell them specifically to do for your dog then this is the place for you. They do with their way at all costs and expect you to pay even though they didn't do it the way you specifically requested. If they knew they weren't gonna do it the way I specifically requested they should've saved everybody a read more

I am very disappointed with this establishment and will not return. I have a child who was recently diagnosed with luekemia and needed the cats cleaned asap in order for him to interact with his kitties. I scheduled an appointment with two cats for early in the morning, drove 30 minutes to give them my business and they were only "able" to clean one. They claimed the other one was too nervous to be cleaned but had the nerve to ask if we wanted to reschedule. If you werent able to handle it today you arent going to be able to handle it another time. As a professional grooming service, the fact that a nine pound cat was too much to handle, despite them being vigorously warmed the cat was timid, is absolutely disappointing. The only reason they got 2 stars is due to the customer service. read more

They were so wonderful with both of my seniors!!! My babies loved going there and were treated like the royalty they are. The groomers did exactly what we requested and our babies looked great!

Had my multi color poodle groomed for years. Always get him teddy bear style cut. It shouldn't be that difficult. But........ groomers have left straggling hair on body. Around eyes. Mustache not even etc. Took him (Domino) to Bark and Purr for the first time today. Just recently moved to Allen. It was the best grooming job ever done. It's not even close. Everything was perfect. Not a wild hair anywhere. I could not be more pleased. And the best thing was the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Bark and Purr to all others out there. I'm going back and no where else. read more

I went to drop off my dog this morning March 10 at 7:30 AM. The hours of operation on Google show them to be open. The young lady that was at the desk saw me come to the door, but would not look in my direction. I knocked, and she stood up, then, without looking at me, said, we're not open, and walk to the back. I had to knock again in order for her to tell me what time they opened. With employees like this, I cannot trust that they will take care of my dog. My experiences in the past have been pretty good. However, if you hire employees like this young lady, I have to question the way management runs this business. I see on yelp that the hours of operation are different than Google. If the young lady had shown even a small amount of kindness, this could have all been avoided. read more

Took dogs in to the same place we've taken them for 3 years. All new staff when we dropped them off. When we picked up, they brought us the dogs, we paid and left. Realized later that our little girl was acting a little funny and favoring her leg and was keeping her tail down - as a Maltese, she always has her tail up. Watched her for a minute and realized she couldn't sit comfortably. Lifted her tail to find three large cuts on her right hindquarter. They sliced my baby open AND DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO TELL US. read more

Very disappointed in them. We have taken out small shih tzus here for years. They were okay for a while but they spilled chemicals and it got in one of our pups eyes. We had to take her to the vet and her eye had issues for weeks and had to be on meds. They refused to take responsibility and would not give is our money back. The other pup recently came back with a huge burn between her eyes. They once again would not take responsibility and would only give us our money back if we could "prove it was them". They told me that I took her home and did that. Seriously? You have lost two customers. We will not be returning. read more

Bark and Purr - My poor girls eyes. Groomer burner by cutting too close. :( they won't take responsibility. Never going back. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Allen, Texas

I feel the need to update my review again, since there are a couple that claim their dogs came home repeatedly cut up and were otherwise "abused". While everyone's experiences are different, I've had my dogs groomed at Bark & Purr roughly 364 times spanning three dogs and fourteen years. Only a couple of times has one of my dogs come home nicked, and they were quick to tell me about it when I picked her up. If the staff was as abusive as other reviewers claim it to be, I can't help but think I'd have seen more evidence over the years. I've never felt as if they were in an unsafe environment. It's a pet groomer, though. It isn't doggie daycare. Most dogs don't like being there and don't enjoy the process of being groomed. As a matter of fact, my dogs were groomed yesterday and after I read the more recent reviews I checked them over and kept an eye on them for any behavior issues. None. They came home, scratched and licked (like all dogs do after a grooming), drank some water, then napped the rest of the day. As a VERY longtime customer I still highly recommend Bark & Purr to anyone who asks me about my pets. Two of my neighbors recently started going to Bark & Purr, and have told me they're very happy with the service and the quality of the cuts. read more
