    The staff was very nice. My two little dogs ere well treated and their cuts were gorgeous. The pups were in a very happy mood when we picked them up. Thanks barking bad for the great job. This is the shop on 1619 San Pedro.

    I just found out that the original Barking Bad was purchased and reopened. I dropped Astro (boxer pit mix) and Jenny (BorderCollieBlueHeeler) at 7:30 this morning in the able and loving arms of Chris. They were finished and ready for pickup by 9:30. My dogs were so calm and CLEAN when I retrieved them...I was shocked! Astro can bark...bad. I highly recommend this groomer. I'm very satisfied and happy to have rediscovered them. I've been doing my own grooming during COVID...NO BUENO! BARKING BAD 10+...MUY BUENO

    They seemed to have cut a chunk of fur off his head .  DO NOT GO HERE

    Cool name, unprofessional business. I had an appointment at 10am. No pick up time given. Just one girl couldn't remember my dog's name . Kept my dog for 6 hours for a basic wash. They keep the dogs in windowless boxes. Its not very clean. My dog was clean but it seems they cut some hair, which I specifically said not to. He has a weird spot which appears to be cut on his head. Overall, find someone else. $80 for a bath is a bit much

    This was the most positive experience I've ever had getting my girls groomed. They took care of them as if they were their very own pets! I didn't know what I wanted in the way of a cut. The decision THEY MADE was perfect! This is a top notch grooming establishment. They are thorough & still finish earlier than expected. I'd trust my girls with this business ANY day!

    Brought my Golden Retriever in for a trim. She usually has long beautiful fur, and has never had any problems at the groomer. Was extremely disappointed when her entire body was shaved down to her skin. Called the groomer to express my concern, and he had no education on why Golden Retrievers can't be shaved. We will not be able to take my dog outside during the hot summer heat as she is at risk for sunburns and sores. There is also a risk that her fur will not grow back evenly or as full as before. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

    I was super happy with the service I got here!! I took in my dog last min for a clean up. He was so dirty from playing in some mud from a rainstorm the night before and was covered in dirt! They fit me in, and made my dog look so handsome and back to his fluffy self! When I picked him up u can tell he was so comfortable with all the girls and enjoyed his time there. My dog has been to a couple of groomers all over Albuquerque and when I pick him up usually he's fighting the groomers to get to me and pulls away from them. But this time I got there and it took me 5 min to get his attention cuz he was so in love with the staff ! We definitely found our new forever groomers!

    Bob looks great!

    Came in early and Tanya was so nice. She explained everything and made wonderful suggestions. I leave Bob, my dog with her and had a great lunch at Scalo Northern Italian Grill, which I highly recommend. While eating Tanya sent two videos of Bob's doggie spa day and the progress they were making to ease my mind (Thank you so much for that!). She informed me 15 minutes from completion and when I went in to get Bob he look marvelous! I love this place and plan on coming back when Bob needs another grooming.

    I took my Dog, Iris, in for general grooming and recommendations on she's control. I didn't really have much hope that it would make a huge difference but after meeting Alex & the team at Barking Bad, I changed my mind. Clean ears, clean teeth, clean everything! They did a great job!! Alex recommended a reverse shave to control shedding. With fair warning I was worried that she would look silly shaved, as I understand can sometimes happen but, she looks GREAT!!! A little whiter & smoother in the coat now which brings out her Sharpei side. Thank you for taking such good care of my Fur-baby! Iris LOOOOOOVES you guys! We'll see you again soon!

    Sunny girl the day after her grooming. SHE DOESN'T SHED ANYMORE!

    See all

    Well run and they do a good job. A bit pricey but most groomers are not cheap. I would take my two large dogs there again.

    Cayla was amazing! She was so sweet to my elderly foster dog, who was matted all over; way worse…read moreoff than I could comb & wash him out of at home. His nails were over grown as was the hair between his pads making it even harder to walk with his arthritis. I was so relieved when I picked him up to find him clearly feeling better (like running around) & looking great (he needs to get adopted! Helps to be fancy) She does "compassionate" grooming, which I was grateful for as he is quite old and skinny, it was a relief to know she was thinking about his well being, not just a her bottom line. Speaking of, her rates are very reasonable. She gives lots of info for directions so do be sure to review & call on arrival as there are 2 grooming business in 1 building (I made an oops worrying about the construction & forgot this bit, but she saved me & the pup!) Heart of gold this one! Definitely bringing my personal dogs back!

    Cayla is kind and wonderfully experienced! She took very good care of my best friend/fur…read morebaby/senior dog. He got a nail trim and grind with an expression which was offered in a package. Also included was a balm for my fur babe's nose and doggie cologne. He came out so happy and his scent lasted for days lol. He got so many compliments about his nails and the doggie cologne, I think my little guy blushed but loved the extra attention. Dewclaw and all, I'm so grateful to have found her as my senior doggo has trouble with nails splitting he hasn't had issues this time around. It was very easy to make an appointment and Cayla was responsive and reassuring. We love Cayla! Definitely worth a follow and your business!

    Took my little one to get groomed We were asked to pick him…read moreup at 5 PM, and I was on time knowing that they are closed at 5 PM. Did not get the best greeting. Was told I should have picked him up when I received a call. I lived a half hour a way. When I got my little man home, he was uneven in so many places. By the way, the owner called to apologize, and I added more stars. Everyone is entitled to a bad day. Thank you for replying. Reply to your added comment : This happened on Tuesday, Dec 27th at 5 PM. Funny, you called me to apologize. Now you state that you do not know me and need the date of the grooming and will look into it? There was no offer to correct the uneven haircut that was quite expensive. I will not reply to any further comments regarding your business. Good luck. I wish you all the best.

    I absolutely love these humans! My boy Yuri loves them as well. I highly recommend this business…read more They love my pet and he is always happy to go see them. I have an American Akita and he started out handsome but very particular so I can't imagine how patient they had to be to groom him. His grooming takes 3-4 hours and the hair, omg there aren't words for how much hair these dogs have. I brought my boy home once and he was itchy and I called them and without problem they re bathed him (they had tried a new shedding shampoo on him but his skin didn't like it) it was free and they got him in fast. Also I have called and they were booked out really far and I asked for the cancellation list and the next week he was in and groomed. I'll post pictures here of the different times and how great they have done. I love this business! It is also by my car wash place so while he is getting a bath I detail my car and go to Costco. Lol The pricing is perfect for me and the amount of work he requires is more than I could handle on my own and he is enormous in size. I am grateful for this business and the employees super respectful as well.
