    cracking cake

    Bought a premade cake from their fridge and put it in my fridge within 15 minutes. Overnight the cake separated and looked terrible.

    The "grooming"

    We'd been going to Barkin Creek at the Domain for almost 2 years. Mixed results, but generally OK, until yesterday. For reasons still unknown, they shaved part of our female Lab/Husky mix's belly. The manager confirmed this should not have happened, and that the groomer would be retrained. No offer of a refund for this mess, and teh promised call from the "owners" never happened. Will never go back.

    Super clean and welcoming. BUT- I called to let them know I would be ten min late and I made it 9 minutes late. The groomer came down mad at me claiming I was over 15 minutes late and lecturing me. I don't appreciate that. I habe the phone calls to prove I was there by 12:39 (was on the phone with them as I walked in because I was lost) and I checked in at the front desk. Really hoping the bath and groom are excellent because I don't appreciate false facts and platitudes thrown my way. UPDATE: my dog's groom was perfect and the timing was quick. It is kind of pricey (but it is marketed as a spa, so to be expected). I would come back just with a different groomer who has better (human) customer service.

    Happy puppies all cleaned up!

    My long haired Chihuahuas were much in need of some grooming, so I made an appointment at Barkin' Creek at the Domain. The technicians were skilled, friendly, and gentle with my little girls. After two hours my scruffy puppies emerged, clean cut and fresh smelling. Service at the front desk was professional, if a bit perfunctory. A little on the expensive side, but worth it for great service and care. I will definitely take my dogs back when they are in need of some pampering.

    I was visiting Austin and decided to give this place a call since I frequent the domain area. They were able to get me in the next day which I was so excited. My dog is used to being groomed so she had no problem with the groomer that they had given me I forgot her name. All the associates were nice and helpful. I even bought the pearl necklace they sold at the store. When I visit Austin again I will definitely bring Sophie back here we both love this place!!

    Pup cakes

    Came here to get some pup cakes as Sprinkles down the road had sold out. The store is stellar inside so I'm sure to come back to shop more instead of a quick errand here. There are human grade meal kits as well. The pup cakes come 6 to a pack and the ingredient list also includes an analysis of protein, fat, and fiber. So these definitely are higher in quality than the ones at Sprinkles. Plus my dog gladly ate her pup cake with satisfaction when I got home.

    High quality prepped food for Dogs . Chicken and rice with veggies for example .

    Today I had my mini Poodle and Shih Tzu groomed ! They came out fantastic. I was hesitant being that it was my first time getting them groomed here but they really know what they are doing . The Groomer that got assigned to my dogs was very pleasant and assured that my furries where in good hands . I am definitely happy with the service I received but will say it is a bit pricey . Not more expensive than any other fancy grooming places though . My Shih Tzu was $75 and my Poodle was $85-89 can't remember which but 4 dollars doesn't make a difference my point is that they cost a lot . You always here "you get what you pay for" which is true and I'll add anywhere is better than PetSmart or Petco but if I didn't have the Christmas Spirit in me I don't know if I'd be as excited to pay $175 minus tip . The place as a whole is clean conveniently located in the Domain so you can head over to Starbucks or Juice land up the street and chill or you can shop around and even buy some fancy hi end doggy gear and decor lol . They have a variety of very nice pet Beds water bowls and toys plus scratch made healthy food for your dogs . Altogether a cool place to have in this location .

    BEYOND SATISFIED! I have a 9 yr old sheltie, and she looks STUNNING! Melinda did a fabulous job! When she was a puppy we took her to petsmart for grooming and noticed how much she hated it, so i began to groom her at home. Id like to say I got pretty good at it, but it was time to trust a professional, as we had moved and it wasn't possible to groom her at home anymore. Melinda was kind and thorough! (All of the staff is kind and helpful) We had a consultation before grooming, and she was able to finish her before the estimated time. I had her bathed, deshedded, nails trimmed, and my god she is silky and smooth! My dog was happy and kind towards the groomer at pick up. If you have a dog with a long coat and thick undercoat I highly recommend going here!

    Not a good experience for my pups and us On February 8th, I took my 4 pups for their grooming appointment at 2pm at the Domain store. I made clear we needed multiple groomers working on them since we had a bad experience before with only one groomer working on 3 of our dogs, that took 6 and a half hours, all that time my dogs were in the store, not walked and not sure they got water. So when I asked I was told to make sure next time there were multiple groomers working with them, so I did. The time of my pups at the store didn't improve, this time it took 5 and a half hours, 3 of them where ready when I stop by the store to check the status of the grooming, when I asked if they have been out in all that time the answer I got was "we make sure they are walked if they have to stay here long time" so I asked them they have been walked?, the answer wasn't convincing the front desk person said I think they were, pretending to look for information on the computer. I took 2 of my pups and walk them for a little to then put them on the car so I could go get the other 2. They gave me Loca, who was noticiable nervous and stressed out, I walk her a little also so I could put her in the car to get Coco. I even made a comment to the front desk person "did you give something to calm her down? This behavior is way too mellow for her" they told me they didn't give her anything. By the time Coco was ready, I was informed that the reason it took so long it was because the 2 dogs Loca and Coco were really matted and took them long time to untangle their hair. First of all Loca doesn't have that issue, her hair is thick and wavy not curled. I was charged a total of $325.73 with the tip I included. That is for only 2 of the dogs, I had paid already $281.02 for Oreo and Roscoe, keep in mind, Roscoe is a 6 pounds Brussels grifón Yorkie mix who is paying the same price for a grooming than the 36 pound Oreo. I took my 4 pups home, they were exhausted and stressed and happy to be out of there and on our way home. Thinking that even with the previous bad experiences we had at the same store, this one wasn't that bad other than the exaggerated cost and time expent at the store, I didn't check them before we leave, but once at home we noticed that Loca had a spot where apparently the clipper guard wasn't used so it was really short on the back of her neck. Her nails were sharp like they were clipped but not ground. And her due-claw on one side was no touched while the other one was short but sharp. This is negligence from part of your crew, no one informed us of why her hair on the back of her neck was in that condition or why her due-claw wasn't taken care of. But we were informed about the extra charge for their hair matted. We definitely have reached our limit dealing with your company, it has been one mistake or abuse after another, we were trying to make things work but is not possible, we will not be paying close to $600 for grooming where our pups remain on boxes for a long time, without being walked, where they are on a very apparent stressful environment and where the crew is clear to inform of extra charges but not about their mistakes. Is not worth to put our pups on this situation, the quality of your work and customer care is something you obviously don't care about. I'll make sure to inform my friends about the bad quality and lack of compassion of your crew/company.

They should've allotted the proper time. What's insane is the company requires 48 hrs notice to reschedule or cancel, or you'll be charged but they don't grant you the same courtesy.(also must have your card on file) Insane. I'm actually quite mad. I canceled. I better not be charged a cancelation fee or this will be an immediate dispute w my credit card company. I've attached a screenshot of the lame text I received 7 mins before my scheduled appt. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a reoccurring issue with the same groomer, Kayla. Since reading other reviews, I'm grateful to have canceled this appt after reading reviews of them leaving cats and pups with bloody paws and being returned wet. Do yourself a favor and do not make an appt with this company. Find someone else who is reliable.

Our old groomers no longer seem to work here, but we still rave about the kindness and care the team showed our pups back in 2021. 2026: Our new pup arrived to us covered in mats so severe I had to trim some myself, leaving him a bit uneven. We scheduled a grooming session but didn't realize he would be receiving a "first-time puppy cut," which is different from a full grooming appointment. I completely understand the difference, but I wish I had been informed upfront, as I was expecting a full-body cut--especially at the price we paid. A month later, we tried a different groomer, Ivy, after seeing a Goldendoodle cut on their Instagram that we loved. She did an amazing job! As a reminder, per most pet grooming policies, all dogs must have up-to-date vaccines before their appointment. Additionally, there is now a late pickup fee if you arrive more than 30 minutes after your pet's session is completed.
