This is a small grooming shop with 1 groomer. He is so good at grooming though it is worth the extra time the groom takes. My Standard Poodle has been getting so many compliments around town and at our dog sports Dock Diving competition. Even other groomers are saying this is his best groom ever and I have to keep coming here, he looks awesome! My boy can be shy but was prancing around happy at pick up. We will be regulars for our summer cuts while we compete then do some fun, longer grooms in the winter

Who says short haired doggies can't be pampered!

Lack of communication. I've called a few times to book a spa, but never got a response. So my pup never went back, sad that they lost us as a customer.

Keeping up grooming a husky is a constant struggle. Koda's coat got out of hand, so we brought him to Bark Ave for a wash and dry. He came back so silky, soft and clean, I can't stop hugging him. Great job, will be back!

She's quite happy, as am i!

So I'm a stocktonian and I've hit quite a few spots here in town to find someone who can groom my pom teddy bear style. NO ONE has managed to do it even close to right. Always too blunt around her face. I thought it wouldn't hurt to try Bark Ave after seeing their pictures of their cuts. They did AMAZING. Like wow amazing. They managed to tame my lil lioness back to her teddy bear self and she looks splendid! I have found my new go-to salon and already can't wait to take her back in. Also, lily came out smelling like flowers and feeling softer than she's ever felt. That's some magic shampoo lol. Thanks guys!

after they shaved my schnauzer, he is unrecognizable

I've been bringing my mini schnauzer here for about a year now with no complaints and I've decided to stop bringing my dog to this groomer. The last two times i 've brought my dog the haircut just seemed a little careless. Schnauzers have specific haircuts because they have beards, "skirts", and eyebrows. After growing my dogs hair/beard for the past year, he was completely shaven & unrecognizable. I emailed the company via the website & never received a response. I have attached before and after pictures, ALL SCHNAUZER OWNERS PLEASE BE AWARE.

$65 for a doggie bowl cut... I could've done better at home.

Made an appointment for our Cavalier based off the good reviews. When we brought her in for her appointment, the person told us we needed her immunization records, which was never mentioned when we scheduled the appointment. They called our vet to verify then gave us a hard time about her not having bordatella even though we never board her. We explained what type of cut we wanted and left her for a couple hours. We called back and were told she'd be ready in 30 minutes so we headed over and got there 30 minutes later. When opening the door, the lady yelled out saying she wasn't ready and that we need to leave. There was no need to be so rude, and why are there chairs in a waiting area if they don't want people to wait inside? Once she brought out our dog, we immediately noticed something was wrong. The groomer didn't blend anything in the back of her head and it looks almost like a bowl cut. When we asked about it, the lady said it was supposed to be like that, which is BS, no haircut should look like that. We couldn't stay and argue for her to fix it because we had to leave to pick up our daughter from school. All in all, we are very disappointed and will not be returning to pay $65 for a haircut that look worse than something I could do on my own.

Poor baby was injured!

I wish I could give this place higher stars but my experience wasn't the best. My dog has never been injured at any groomer and this time, she was nicked! The shave pattern on her coat was visible and the fade was poorly done. I was quoted an estimate over the phone based on her weight and did the yelp checkin but ended up getting charged $30 more than expected. In summary, I paid for an overpriced service and my poor dog was injured.

Cute puppy cut to fix the home chop job that we had to do on her face.

The ladies are awesome! My hard to cut puppy was no match for these ladies they got it done and she looked so cute. Thank you for making the extra effort to take care of her. The previous groomer I took her to could not cut her face so she was left looking like a lion

dog

My dog was hardly recognizable when I picked her up! This was my puppy's first time and they made sure to take their time to not overwhelm her. They gave her a cute bandana to go home with. Great service, will be back :)

One happy girl-Zoe

My pittie, Oshyn, hates anyone touch her paws, but she has to get her nails trimmed, regardless. I…read morefirst took her to Pampered Pet in 2021 and haven't gone to another groomer, since. The ladies at Pampered Pet are so friendly and patient with Oshyn and they work super fast! Their prices are very reasonable, too :)

I've never given a bad review but.... I had been going to…read morePampered Pet in Tracy off and on since they opened with the dogs I have now and Barkley, my previous dog I had for over 14 years. Barkley got razor rash once & had a problem after his anal glads expressed long ago at Pampered Pet which resulted in vet visit both times, but other than those two episodes, I was satisfied and just wrote those two problems off as flukes until....I took my teacup Maltese there last September (2025). His first couple appointments were fine, but the last, he looked terrible, like a different dog. People who saw him afterwards thought it WAS a different dog, an old dog, not my cute little 9 month old Maltese. When I brought him in, I told Michelle I didn't want his face touched much at all, to leave his "mustache" and wanted his ear hair trimmed shorter, like a puppy. Well, they did the exact opposite; they left the ears long and SHAVED his face. He wasn't matted or anything. I paid the bill, including a $20 tip BEFORE they brought him out to me. I was in shock when they handed him to me. I left and on the drive home, I couldn't even look at him. But the more I did, the madder I got. When I got home, I immediately called Michelle and said, "you know I'm not one to complain and never have, but I was furious on the grooming job. That they did the exact opposite of what I asked and that he looked terrible." She said I could bring him back in and they'd trim his ears shorter, like I had asked, but the damage was done. I knew they couldn't glue his cute mustache and whiskers back on. All I saw when I looked at him was a dog that didn't look a thing like my cute 9 month old puppy that I had brought in. I told her I was too mad to bring him back in and I was just furious. She just said oh, okay. No offer of any compensation or anything. I had been a customer for over a decade. His fur, of course, has since grown back and he looks cute again. He is now a year and 5 months old and I take him to Muddy Paws on 10th Street now, where we have been extremely pleased AND they are a little less expensive and we've had much, much better experience every single time and much better cut than he ever had at Pampered Pet. Sorry, but it's the truth. I won't go back there. I don't know if there was miscommunication between Michelle and the groomer or what because I did tell Michelle the cut I wanted: face left alone, only cleaned up a little, leave his mustache/whiskers and trim the ears much shorter and the exact opposite was done. He was the first appointment of the day, maybe she was still half asleep, I don't know.
