Destiny and her sister, are the best. My dog, Izzy, just loves the girls. She goes in gets settled and she know she is getting a bath and clipped. Never have a problem with the girls. My son's has been taking his dog in since his first haircut, and he is now 12 years old and Destiny is his only groomer. That says alot of the staff. I recommend them always when someone is looking for their dog. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you, Roberta read more

Tried calling throughout the morning with no one picking up the phone. Site says walk ins now available - get there and there's nothing available for 2 weeks. Also didn't help when you enter with a doodle dog and hear one of the Groomer say "it's all of these fucking doodles " Then for the closer - horrible attitude and customer service. It was like we were in inconvenience to this business. read more

We had adopted a female Black Lab/Retriever mix in September 2022. She was not letting us brush her and hair getting out of control. I brought her here, first time for me using them. Liz was very friendly and good with Winnie. She did a great job. Already booked another appointment in couple months. read more

I happened in here thinking they may have a do it yourself dog wash, and while they didn't, they fit in my big Golden Retriever in on the spot. He just needed a bath for a family get together and Liz was so great with him. She took her time and washed, blow dried and brushed him. He even laid his head on her shoulder while blow drying him so he knew she was taking care of him. He even left with a new shark bandana! I would absolutely bring my dog back for a proper grooming! read more

Barkin Barbers - Soft, shiny boy! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

I won't be back. Did an ok haircut, however she let my girl out before I paid & I didn't take her collar in so if someone would have opened the door she would have gotten out. But what was really rude was I didn't have alot to tip, I was short this week. She pointed out thanks for the ____ tip, so I pulled some money out of my pocket that was to pay a bill & gave her more. Little does she know the next time in she would have gotten a nice tip since I didn't give as much as I would have liked. Everyone in ear shot heard her comment. Don't f___n judge you don't know what people are going through. You lost my business an I will make sure everyone I know doesn't go there,for the comment that was inappropriate. You don't need to point out my tip trust me I am the one giving it. Rude... It really pays to be kind to people. You never know the people who checkout businesses who can help yours grow. read more

I have two doodles, 50 lbs each. One 8 years old who has gold stars is gentleness and patience. The other dog is 2 years old and has a lot of energy but only really struggles with getting her nails cut. Pros: -customer service was great, very professional -the facility was seemingly very clean -at first look, the cuts looked good Cons: - out of the 8 paws from my two dogs THEY CUT EVERY QUICK BUT 3! Meaning they cut the tips of my dogs toes off. And one toe was so short that my dog was showing signs of pain. -NOT JUST RAZOR BURN, BUT CUTS ON THEIR FACE, UNDERARMS, & BELLY. I didn't see any cuts on their buttholes, but one of my dogs had really bad razor burn. I had to put Neosporin on it. -the kennel my dogs were put in were small and made me feel uncomfortable, it was tall enough for them to stand up, but not turn around - pay by cash or check only - my dogs most likely weren't given any water while they were there, they each drank a bowl of water each as soon as they got home read more

I have been to Barking Barbers on two occasions. That was my first mistake....the first time I went I dropped my dog off at 8 am and was told he would be 2-3 hours and I would receive a call when he was done. After 4 hours I called, no answer, 4.5 hours I called, no answer. After 5 hours I went there and they had JUST began to bathe him. The groomer was very disrespectful saying that she was overbooked and I shouldn't have shown up, etc. I went home while they finished, and they finally called me around 4:00 pm to get him (8 full hours after what they told me should have been a 2 -3 hour appt). They did apologize for the delay and for not answering the phone, the price was reasonable and the cut was good, so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a busy day and went back.... Today I dropped off my dog at 8:30 am. I was told to return at 12:30 to get him. I let them know to call me if anything should change. When I went to pick him up at 12:30 I was disrespectfully informed that the groomer did not arrive at the shop until 10:00 am despite my 8:30 appt, and had not even begun grooming my dog. The poor thing had been sitting in a crate for 4 hours with no attention paid to him.... Above that, there was no communication to me that he would be late, and a disrespectful attitude when I showed up to get him at the time they told me to. I took him home. I will never return to Barking Barbers and will recommend that others do the same. The low prices are not worth the disrespectful attitude that clients receive, nor the lack of attention paid to your pets while they are there. read more

I have taken my dog here about 5 times now always great results. This last time, my dog looked great aside from the close shaves that were done. My poor dog needed a cone and cream from the vet. The groomer did apologize and we were able to move forward to ensure it will not happen again. read more

They have been wonderful to our two dogs, one having a large tumor on his leg. They gave him breaks to get off his legs as to not tire him too much. Very considerate. I recommend highly read more

Ehhh. I took my dog here for the first and only time today. They clipped her nails so short that she was bleeding and is having a hard time walking :( Also she is still having clumps of hair come out. I called the shop and spoke to the "owner" I guess, I wanted to give him a chance to explain and make it right. He pretty much didn't care about anything I had to say. Won't be back. And I'd say be careful in choosing this place with you 4 legged babies. read more

Avoid this unclean, terrible atmosphere , Unprofessional place. My small dog not only got back home dehydrated but also developed a rash most likely from their unsanitary clippers. Consumer beware read more

We took our Labradoodle, Jack, here since our regular groomer was still closed. He came out SO soft and looked so pretty. I recommended my granddaughter to take her dog jere too and she was so happy. We will be back! :) read more

Will not be going back. Was told it wouldn't take long since my dog is small and said would call me shortly. 4 hours later no call and they were closing. I called and they said he's almost done, very rude. Went to pick him up and they couldn't find his collar told me they'd call cause the cleaners would find it. Never received a call I had to call back and they said it wasn't found. I asked to be refunded and they refused saying how do they know he even came in with a collar. They called me back 2 mins later saying they found it with no apology for how they treated me during this whole process. I have never been treated this rudely by staff from anywhere. And apparently my dog bit the groomer. I've been taking him to a groomer for years and that has never happened. Makes me wonder what had happened for him to do that. Save your time and money and don't go here. read more

This is a small mom and pop business. I have been bringing my Shih tzu to them for 5 years. They are not fancy, but they do good work. What is important is how my dog is. Jamie has always done a good job and when I pick my dog up, he's my normal dog and does not seem traumatized. I have dropped my dog off and picked him up when he's ready. If I need it to be quick, I tell them ahead of time and I can pick him up when I need to. They are accommodating and work with my schedule. I trust them. Jamie has been there a long time. Its nice to go in and have the same groomer all the time. read more

Do not take your beloved pet here. We've been taking our dog here since they opened and will no longer be returning which is a shame. He doesn't care about losing customers who are loyal. read more

When asked how much cash i should take out for my dogs to be bathed I was quoted $65 on be phone. I got out $80 -total plus tip. When I got the phone call to pick them up, the employee stated it was $185! When I went in store I tried explaining that was not communicated. The male employee began to harass me and told me he would keep my dogs. I called the police to help mediate the situation. We ended up paying instead of ticketing them for theft and dragging it out. Beware please -DO NOT GO HERE read more

I would not recommend this dog grooming place to my worse enemy. In the beginning, when Destiny worked there and groomed my dog it was ok. I ignore how dirty the place was because I liked how she groomed my dog. Since she walked out and (I could only imagine why) the groomers are rough with the dogs and rude to the customers. The owner sits there and allows this too. Not only have I witnessed this so have others. They no longer go there either. They don't ask for proof of vaccinations, thank God my dog is up on all her shots. All the owner is concerned about is money not your dog. The last time I was there he/she who was supposed to groom my dog said it would be around 12 to 12:30 when she would be ready. My dog's appointment was at 10, I told her she is an in and out dog, she just ignored that. I called at 12:30 and they hadn't even touched my dog I said don't touch her I'm going to pick her up. I get there at 1:00 the owner walks away and the he/she gets mouthy. The owner allows this from his workers to his customers. I now have a mobile dog grooming company that grooms my dog. It is well worth the money. Trust me your dog deserves better. read more

They SEVERELY gashed my dogs paw and blamed it on my dog!! AND They still charged me! They took 5 hours to groom my dog... then when I picked her up they said she got nicked. I was in a major hurry when I picked my dog up because they took so long. My dog bolted out the door as soon as she could. So I put her in the car right away. It wasn't until I got home that I saw how bad she was bleeding. I had to disinfect and bandage her paw for 3 days. She got blood on my rugs, furniture and bedding. The gash was so large the bleeding took 2 days to stop. My dog has been getting groomed once a month for 12 years. This has NEVER HAPPENED before. To make matters worse I realized that they didn't even complete the groom that they charged me for. They have some young inexperienced groomers learning to groom on our pets. Terrible and dangerous business practice. If they keep this up they will permanently injure someone's pet. ABSOLUTELY IRRESPONSIBLE!! read more

Save your time and money and do NOT take your dogs here!! We had a 9 AM spot for a reason to get him in there and out. Typically it takes no longer than 2 hrs for a grooming. Today it took them over 4 hrs. When I called for a status update Jamie the groomer was rude on the phone and wasn't trying to be apologetic for it taking so long. When I got there, they cut our dog completely wrong. He's uneven in different spots, and they told me next time try an express service instead if I didn't want it to take so long. They wouldn't accept a card which they have in the past, made me go to the closest ATM. They never once apologized or tried to make the issue right. I've had many different dogs for many years and never has it taken four hours to get a dog groomed. Save your money and go somewhere else. It's INHUMANE that they kept the dog locked up for that long when they knew he's a nervous dog. They were rude with the worst customer service. We will NEVER be back. They should be ashamed of themselves to call this place a company! read more

I like this place a lot, friendly staff and they're gentle with doggies my pet always smells good after leaving Barkin barbers. Thank you Barkin Barbers! read more

I have been bringing my Westie and Schnauzer to Barking Barbers since the previous location and have had nothing but positive experiences! I can't say enough about the outstanding quality of haircuts my boys get. Showroom ready! Every time my boys go for their haircuts, the staff is always attentive to past notes and current needs with no hesitation to put the customer first. All staff at the groomers are always very timely, professional and courteous where I would HIGHLY recommend Sue to everyone who has a dog and loves them. Barking Barbers even goes as far as making sure my elderly dog has plenty of water for his short time there and gets plenty of outside time as needed. Definitely one of the best! read more

We have 4 dogs altogether, 3 are mine and one is my son's. I know the importance of getting their nails trimmed and my three always have crazy hair and it grows fast. I used to trim them but hurt my back so can't do that anymore. I was driving from Arvada, all the way to Lakewood and the guy was charging $10 each just for their nails and if I asked if he could just trim their bellies, he had a fit. Someone told me about Barking Barbers 5 minutes away and I can't say enough about them. They are good with my babies (who don't go through puberty mind you!). They always practice care in not just walking off with a dog on the table, and they try to get to me as soon as possible knowing I have 4 in the car. I used to dread taking them to the groomer, but not anymore. They are reasonable too!!!!! Very friendly, can't say enough! :) read more

I am very picky about the groomer I choose to take my standard poodle to... tried this place out of the blue because of its close proximity to my work. Destiny did a fabulous job, and the price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend this groomer. read more

I have been taking all three of our pups here for two years. They have always been kind and do a wonderful job. I highly recommend them!

Very bad experience here. My dog actually got injured here. I don't know how. Her face was bleeding. They said it was probably from their cat. They didn't seem very concerned about it at all. They are not timely and failed to call me when my dog was ready. This seems to be common, reading the other reviews. I will be taking my dog to a groomer that does appointment times, not windows, and whom I can be sure will not hurt my dog. read more

Place used to be ok. I've taken my 10 lb Yorke here 4 times and this last time he had a half inch cut on his leg and two small cuts on his belly. I asked for his hair to be short but not to the point t where he'd be in pain and cut up. Not going back! read more

Cute small business, sweet people. Know a lot about the business and dogs. Cheaper than the big grooming places. $50 for a super matted poodle mix as opposed to Petco's quote of $80. Happy to give them the business... just a warning- cash and check only. read more

I loved this place, they are all fantastic but destiny was our dogs groomer and he was looking like a dreaded homeless mess when I brought him in .She managed to save way more hair than the other places that just wanted to shave our white tiny dog with pink skin down to nothing cuz if the matts. I call that just being ignorant and lazy....He looked great his legs were even which never happens! U can tell they love their dogs, now the front area is not the most upscale place but please don't let that fool you, I had been going to kreisers for years and barking barbers does a waaaaay better job, less expensive,more loving and they train u on how to groom ur dogs so that they don't end up with the way Mine looked pre barking barbers.Krisers Is way over rated and priced, this place is legit! Will b back thanks destiny! Plus Bowie liked them waaaay more!!! read more

I was so pleased with our first visit, Jamie was wonderful and professional. My Westie requires extra help so Jamie was so patience. Am definitely recommend this place. Am coming back soon . read more

I just want to say how happy I am with the grooming my 2 little dogs got from Barkin Barbers!! They both look fantastic. My girl, whom I inherited when my sister in law passed away, has always had very long nails. I even took her to the vet to have them cut, (I won't mention his name, because he's very well respected), and they didn't cut them as beautifully as they did!! Her nails now look like a normal dog's nails. I will definitely be using Barkin Barbers again! (and again, and again.. lol!) Debbie Nichols read more

My appointment was made five weeks ago. Not one employee called me to tell me that my groomer was no longer with them. I show up this morning and there's already about four other dogs there. My dog has been there for 4 1/2 hours as I speak. I questioned the amount of time it was taking he's a very small dog with very short hair. The gentleman inside the establishment had no concern about my concern. I feel that it's a very unprofessional and chaotic place. In my experience there is only one woman in there that is professional. I don't know her name. Long blonde hair. I do not recommend this place read more

I take all three of our dogs to Barkin Barbers. They are amazing with them. They take their time, don't just rush through and go above and beyond every time. Truely the most caring and gentle groomers I have found. I would highly recommend this place. I am definitely a lifetime customer! read more

I picked my fur baby up and I was happy with his new hair cut until I noticed him licking himself way more than he normally dose. When I look at his penis it was scabbed up from top to bottom. I'm not sure what happened, but I am horrified and my poor lil guy is very uncomfortable! The groomer didn't say a word about my boy getting cut! I took a pic today, but keep in mind this pic was taken a week after it happened. read more

I made an appointment for 10am. I explained over the phone that I did not want my dog caged for an excessive amount of time before making this appt. This had happened at the previous groomer and is why I was looking for someone new. When I arrived at 9:50, I was told that they wouldn't even be starting till 12. Needless to say, I took my dog and left. They also told me they weren't concerned about proof of shots. Will not be going back. Would give NO stars if I could read more

Brenda at Barkin Barbers does an absolutely wonderful job on my dog. He happily trots in to see her and comes out looking like a star. Everyone there is so nice and scheduling is easy. They are affordable and I recommend them to everyone I know who asks about grooming. I have tried others and these gals are the BEST! read more

If you care about your fur babies, don't bring them here. I should have left when we got there but thought it couldn't be so bad based on the other reviews I read. I brought my puppy in for a groom to have a haircut but specified not have him shaved down. 5 hours later my puppy was not ready so we decided to call. They were "having a problem with his head" but did not specify. I was under the assumption that they were just having difficulty so we told them to stop and I would be right there to help hold my antsy puppy in order to finish the grooming. When I got there, he was completely shaved down throughout his body. I was told "I'm sorry I can't make you happy." The ghetto girl that groomed him claimed that he was matted and it was too difficult to comb through it so they had no choice. My dog was NOT matted all over his body and had very few matts under his belly. She was just too lazy to take the time that my dog deserved. It wasn't until after I got home that I noticed that they cut my baby behind his ear and he had razor burn behind his tail. I took him to the vet where he had to have staples put in. I was told he lost enough blood which can cause the skin cells to go dead there. Not only am I furious that I was NOT notified about my dogs injuries, but also their lack of care for an animal. A simple grooming appointment should not take 6 hours. If you're that busy, you shouldn't over book. Dogs deserve better than this. Run far away. By the way, I'll be forwarding you the vet bill. read more

Never again. Place is super ghetto. I made an appointment and was told my dog wouldn't be ready for 2-hours. That's unacceptable for a scheduled appointment. My dog was also attacked by their 'grumpy' cat. I noticed my dog's nose was bleeding and I got a weak apology as if this happens all the time. They also don't accept credit cards, only cash or checks. I got a call near the 2-hour mark and was told that they tried their best to furminate my dog, but that they couldn't do as much as they would like. Yet they still charged me the full $30 for the visit. I will never go back to this groomer. read more
