They did a great job on my boyfriend's dog. 17 years old. Still strong and they were able to take him and groom him. My other groomers wouldn't even take my baby boy yorkie who was 16 years old because they said he's too old. read more

Why there isn't a no star ranking, this place doesn't deserve a single star. When good gone bad. This was my 3rd visit here and definitely the last. The service was terrible (totally different from the first visit), but even worse was the haircut my dog received. When I brought him home, I noticed red scratches and a small bump on his skin -- clearly from poor handling. Completely unacceptable. Think twice before u take ur baby here! I got an instant response to my post from the owner. If they paid as much attention to the dogs as they do to online posts, the dogs would actually get proper care. It's interesting to see that this business owner thinks customers should stay quiet and not tell the truth -- and when they do, it's called harassment. read more

We have taken our labradoodle here three times now, and I am finally coming around to writing a review. They are so awesome, listen to all of our needs, and make her look so cute and perfect. I don't like the poodle cut (which the last place we went to did to her), and they have perfected the doodle cut for us. read more

They always do a great job. Dependable. I have a small dog so they can work her in last minute for washes. Dropping in for a nail trim is never an issue read more

We used to go to a different groomer whose price kept increasing and you have to book more than a month out. Bark Side is more reasonably priced and they do just as great of a job. The staff is always nice and Mocha always comes home so pretty and so soft! Thank you Bark Side! read more

Pancho loves coming here, he gets the complete spa day treatment, we couldn't be happier, thank you! Absolutely the best!

After my MIL having a horrible experience with her dog getting hurt here we decided to give her a second chance, I took my dog to get groomed at 1, it was past 6 and still no call. I arrived at the location sat in my car for 6-10 mintutes I saw how he was just on the table leashed to by his neck, while no one was tending to him. Who knows how long before I arrived was he alone like this. I finally got off and asked how much longer and why he was not getting tended too. She got upset cause I was calling her out and continued to say I'm the owner/manager I'm busy I was just in the other room. Am I was mad and told her that's exactly how our other dog got hurt. The vet stated he was leashed by the neck either too long or got impatient and tried to jump, they don't care for the animals here, how can you just leave why can't you just finish the dog and them go do something else. There's no excuse for that. I still paid because I wanted my dog back I shouldn't have been charged since they didn't even finish him off. Now I have to pay again and take him elsewhere . I wasn't gunna let my dog be in distress until she had the time to finish him. I did advise her she should've warned me she was overbooked and I wouldn't have taken him In. She was so unprofessional. So very disappointed because we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt in the first place but after witnessing myself. Never again read more

The team here is fantastic!! Brittany worked on my little Rita and treated her like royalty. Rita isn't fond of many folks besides myself, but Brittany has a way with Rita and was able to get her bathed and smelling like blueberries. read more

SUCH TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS HERE! If I can put a negative star on this review I would! My cousin brought her dog in at 1pm and we didn't get him back until almost 6pm! They had more than 5 hours to groom him and when we picked him up he was still not ready! The owner/ manager was being super rude to my cousin and one of the girls was just sitting down looking at her tablet. It is scary knowing a pet is just standing on a table being leashed by the neck for who knows how long not getting attended too, the dog could've fallen and gotten seriously hurt or would've gotten a neck injury. I would never bring my dog here! read more

They did a great job listening to the needs for my older dog, and did a fantastic job on his grooming.

We started bringing our 5 dogs here just because of the name and the image on the window. We are huge Star Wars fans and felt the force calling to us! Then we found that they have reasonable prices, great customer service and excellent grooming! We will always bring our dogs here. Best groomer in Long Beach (and I have been to quite a few in my time) read more

Took my Corgi Gwendolyn to Barkside for the first time. The place was very clean and loved that all the animals were in the front when you walk in. I was very happy with her grooming. I asked them to do a heart on her tail and it was so cute. Usually my girl has a bad attitude when I would pick her up from the other groomers I use to take her too, but she was totally fine when I picked her up. We will be returning in a couple months read more

Whoever is answering the phones at this grooming place is miserable and all it took is hearing her bad customer service over the phone to not want my pets to be cared for here. Kindness goes a long way especially dealing with animals and whoever is answering the phones here has none. read more

Max loves going. He is very sensitive about his paws and I used to have to take him to the vet but not anymore!! Trying to get the "westie" cut has been frustrating but they know exactly what I want and the open corral is so great!! read more

Oh we were your client. Long Beach California next to the Baskin-Robbins. You took over the location because the other dog groomer moved. I have the credit card charges to prove it. Never again will go and I personally will never forgive how the lack of care directed towards us or our animal- did you not notice how my husband wouldn't look you in the face. It was to you. Bubba isn't our name it's the name of our reviews. The timeframe was June 2025. I followed up with you several times. And you still have the person working there who did that terrible work to our Yorkie. And more importantly, you had always lead us to believe you were doing the haircuts, but you weren't even there to observe and give directions to your new staff. Yes you're a new business owner but that excuse gets old. Take responsibility and stop with your lack of empathy. Customers need to know This business lacks care! read more

I took my furbaby to Bark Side Pet Grooming for the first time today and I have to say they were amazing.

Bark Side Pet Grooming - Lucy's first groom. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Long Beach, California

THIS IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ // YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT: I have been bringing my 3 fur babies to this groomer for years. She was working with another company and has ventured out on her own. With that said same EXCELLENT care, love, and TLC given to all three of my fur babies. All 3 LOVE going to get groomed!!!!! Just an FYI --- I have 2 90lb Pits and a 9lb Yorkee (3 totally different personalities).... So I am giving a review on both sides of the spectrum LONG HAIR & SHORT HAIR.... My Yorkee because of her long hair, they see sometimes more than we do... So within a 4 week period (from the last time she was groomed) she had gotten a really bad ear infection. They notified me right away (sent pictures) when they saw it, appointment with the vet was scheduled right then and there. From picking her up we were at the vets getting it addressed, no time wasted. They have also assisted with other concerns with my other 2 also, for example pits are know for allergies, skin irritation they will ask around those seasonal times if I want to use the medicated wash for them it helps with the skin irritation. They are like our extended family now!! It takes a village to raise kids they are apart of my village... And for the hoooomans they are very understanding that our fur babies are our everything.. My yorkee was a rescue and she was in bad shape and it was my 1st time taking a dog to the groomers. She had already gone through so much on the streets and I was really concerned, left feeling she would be in good hands. She came out looking like a new pup and was very content. 1st of my Pits is a scaredy dog (scared of everything) she loves going because she gets to visit her other doggie friends. 2nd Pit has ADHD (hyper like crazy, very protective) I was worried taking her to the groomers but they are very professional and we came up with a time that would work with my concerns. She is the sweetest puppy dog but I always take into consideration her surroundings. My nerves were settled and she now loves going and looks forward to her visit... P.S. the pricing is just right... I always tip more then I should because they deserve it!!!! I live in Lakewood CA do not know why it says San Francisco for my location. HOPES THIS HELPS WITH YOUR DECISION!!!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience bringing my 7 year old German shepherd in to the bark side! My dog requires a lot of attention and grooming him takes like 3-4 hours.

Took my dog here for an appointment and 3 hours later she was still sitting in a cage only had a bath, the receptionist "Kimmie" had attitude when i asked her how long it would take to cut the hair, she then went on to say she had to b a bond with the dogs only to leave them in the cages. She then proceeded to charge me 52$ for a bath and nail trim without a haircut, if you plan on coming here just prepare for attitude and not having you dog back till 10pm. Worst pet grooming place i've been too, will not be coming back ever read more

Bark Side gets my 5 star recommendation . I have a 14 year old and a 4 year old dog, and the staff groomed them beautifully. Britney is friendly, professional, and took sweet care of one of my very nervous dogs. I will definitely be back knowing they do excellent work and treated my dogs so well. A warm welcome to the neighborhood! read more

We love this gal! She is the owner and groomer we believe. She's compassionate and hardworking and reasonably priced.

They did an amazing job! I'm so happy with the work they did! I've been looking for a new groomer for about four years since my dog's original groomer moved out of state and none have been able to give him the cut I ask for (my dog is quite difficult). But they exceeded my expectations here! They were able to handle him and gave him the exact haircut I asked for! I'm just sad I didn't come across this groomer sooner! I'll definitely be back for all his grooming needs! read more
