From the first phone call I knew I was going to like this place. They took their time and explained the process! The day of my dog's grooming, we were greeted with smiles and I felt so comfortable leaving Max for his grooming! He was very scared at first but let me tell you, when I went to pick him up he was having a good time playing with his new friends! The cut was perfect! I highly recommend Barking Lot for your fur babies! read more

Barking Lot - Max new haircut - Pet Groomers Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Just a head's up: if you have a dog that was a shelter/rescue and is scared of strangers, and/or is sensitive to having a certain part of their body touched, this is not the place for you. My fiancé made an appointment and informed them that our dog is nervous around people and is sensitive to having her butt and tailed touched. She was told that it would be fine and that the groomer likes to get to know the dog before starting. Sounds awesome. Walk in and immediately the two ladies were making jokes about how our dog was nervous and that she couldn't escape. The (I presume) groomer took her into a half room off to the side by herself and shut the door. I could see in, which was nice. She cornered my dog and immediately started trying to touch her butt (not exactly the wisest thing to do with a dog you've just met that is clearly nervous or scared; feels like that's common sense). My dog didn't appreciate it and tried to nip, never coming near her hand, not even growling or showing any signs of aggression beyond, "Hey, I don't like that." The lady, without missing a beat, just immediately gives up and says, "Nope. Not gonna do it. Good luck, you might want to have a vet sedate her." Only reason I didn't protest is because I wanted to get my dog out immediately. Not cool. My fiancé wanted to give them a shot because of the good reviews, they're very close to where we live, and because we try to support local businesses over big companies like Petco as much as possible. However, it looks like we're going back to Petco. read more

I am so pleased with my experience at Barking Lot. This foster dog Gracie was in desperate need of a professional grooming, but it was difficult to find a groomer willing to try and groom her considering she isn't the best about having her face & legs groomed. The staff at the Barking Lot was very patient with her and did an incredible job- Gracie looks so beautiful! I hope this grooming helps Gracie find her forever home! Love that the Barking Lot has Saturday hours and their prices are reasonable too. Highly recommend. read more

They were friendly and experienced. My Pomeranian got an excellent cut and groom. He loved the groomer and was happy when I picked him up. Great experience. read more

My dogs hair is extremely hard to cut but they did a great job! She is a chihuahua Yorkie mix so her hair is really thin and doesn't grow out much other than around her face. They cut around her face and feet, bathed her and cleaned her up for $25. Affordable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

**Note: There is another "Barking Lot" in Jacksonville that specializes in boarding. This is a review for the "Barking Lot" that specializes in grooming. To my knowledge, they do not offer boarding. However, I'm sure the owner (Miss Beverly) can point you in the right direction.** **Located on Beach Blvd, just west of Kernan Blvd.** I am a long time customer of the Barking Lot for many reasons. Not only do they do quality work, but they have the lowest prices in town. This family owned and operated establishments makes my life as a dog owner even easier, especially in this tough times when dog grooming feels like a luxury. I'm not the owner of a frilly dog who needs a trim, or a show dog who needs a precise cut. I own a big, smelly mutt who sheds like it's his job. No one can tackle this fury of fur like Miss Beverly. I take my dog in pretty regularly for a bath and a brush. This also includes nail clipping, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning for only...are you ready...$20!!! To keep prices low, they don't take credit cards, but it's worth the hassle of finding an ATM to get great work at an unbeatable price. Miss Beverly is always so sweet to my dog. She knows him by name and is always happy to see him. Other grooming places seem annoyed by my monster of a mutt who barks incessantly and leaves clumps of hair in his wake. But not Miss Beverly - she just loves on him and feeds him cookies. Even though my mutt, who is approaching age 15, can barely stand, I have no worries about taking him back to Barking Lot for a good grooming. These people truly care about animals and it shows in their work. You'd be remiss not to try Barking Lot . The quality work and unbeatable prices (even with a tip!) can't be beat. Your furry friend will thank you! (Be sure to call ahead - the staff will work to accommodate you. If they don't answer, leave a message and someone always calls right back. ) read more

I highly recommend the Barking Lot. I was able to stay with my dog as she was being groomed by Beverly. My dog's cut is perfect! Exactly what I asked for. Beverly checked for every necessary thing needing to be addressed, especially her ears as they needed to be plucked to save her from future infections, etc... She was extremely gentle and sweet, always making sure my dog was comfortable and cared for. She worked quickly, yet made sure every aspect of her grooming was flawless. I have found an amazing groomer and will not hesitate to return to them again! read more

Cannot say enough about this place, what it lacks in decor it certainly makes up for in value and service. I have a 90+ lb Lab/Mastiff mix and for $30 "Bubba" received a shampoo, nail clipping, ear and butt cleaning. Compare that to Petsmart who wanted over $125 and it's a no brainer. Tucked away in a small strip mall between Alhambra and JTB, family owned and operated. A+ read more

This is where I take my two standards. I love the staff and they do really good work. Beverly is great!

What a great, caring staff. I took an animal there that was not in good condition. I could not have been more pleased with what I witnessed. If you are looking for a great place to take your pet to be groomed with professionalism and grooming expertise, you have come to the best place in town! read more

I took my dog to Beverly's place for a Christmas groom. It was so choppy and uneven. She had cut marks on her stomach. The place stunk I do not recommend this place. read more

I have never been so disappointed with a pet grooming company. We have a Shih Tzu and they shaved with electric clippers around his nose and literally turned his skin red! Most groomers use regular clippers, not electric. Thankfully we found an excellent groomer who knows how to trim a Shih Tzu. I would never go back! read more

I have been going to Beverly and Mike for the past 10 years. I would not consider any other groomer in my area. They do an excellent job on our "Maddie". One of the best things about them is that when you take your doggie there, you are out in less than 2 hours. I have used groomers in other places where my dog was stuck in a cage all day long. Not so here. Highly recommend The Barking Lot!!!! Quality work and family owned.................need I say more? read more

Upon my terrible experience Bev did contact me back and I brought my zero back in and she fixed him the best she could with what she could work with. She was really sweet and apologetic for the situation. The prices are very reasonable but I wouldn't trust anyone but Bev to to a full groom on your puppy. read more

You will feel right at home the minute you walk in this place. If you want to you can even sit by your dog while they trim it for you. The customer service and hospitality is really really good here. I instantly felt comfortable. My dog looked great when I got him back. Thanks Barking Lot !! read more

I have been to this Fantastic Groomer before with my Pomeranian until we went back Overseas. However, due to some extenuating circumstances , my Pet groomer who I've known for 12 1/2 years suddenly pass away last month. Whether it was a blessing but after a month of searching for pet groomers and reading reviews and accolades, I went back to this facility without any reservations in my mind! My fuzzy and fastidious 13 years young Parti-color black and white Toy Poodle Mackenzie had a ball with Beverly!!! Beverly was meticulous and so attentive to Mackenzie's sensitivity and required careful grooming. I posted Mackenzie's picture afterwards all the way to my relatives in Canada, UK and Norway.. We have nothing but compliments how Mackenzie looked like after Beverly's grooming. She was so considerate and understanding about our needs and the way Mackenzie should be pampered. I strongly recommend this facility to everyone. All the staff are so friendly, conscientious and takes care of the pets accordingly to the respective wishes. Kudos to Beverly and her wonderful staff!!!! Utterly magnificent folks.. It was a God send.... read more

Because of a few mats under my sweetie's neck they shaved her. I think one of two possibilities, the first and most likely - they are lazy, unmotivated or simply don't care enough to take the time needed to perform a proper grooming - despite charging for one, or secondly -- that is how they operate - it takes far less time to shave our beautiful babies than get the tangles out -- get the pets in and get the pets out, don't spend too much time on a single pet and certainly don't listen to what the owner is asking! When I went to pick her up they weren't the slightest bit surprised by my reaction - I suspect this is their modus operandi and disappointment on customer faces is common place. A one star rating is generous. read more

I would recommend the Barking Lot to any one who is looking for a AWESOME GROOMER ,, Beverly has been doing my dog for 15 yrs if you are looking for a very gentle and loving person that cares look no further Beverly is the one you seek you'r baby is well taken care of and loved, Her prices are very reasonable compared to most groomers if you are looking at the cost but for me i look at how my dog reacts to the person who is grooming him and Beverly really cares and Puggie my baby loves her and she does a very good job i am very happy with Beverly work :) read more

So far the best groomer for my schnauzer, she's really patient and gives out a great vibe. Reasonably priced and nice establishment.

My shih tzu was groomed there today. Everyone seemed friendly, there were two people working. She did take time to ask a few questions about my expectations. Cody was in good spirits when I picked him up. I don't like that his ears are squared off(they were rounded) and parts of his cut do seem choppy. Still, mostly it's done well and the price was very reasonable. read more

Bev did a really good Job on my Lhasa Apso Bear. I moved here from Kansas city 2 years ago and needed to find Bear a groomer. I didn't want Petsmart so I went here. Prices are great and service is great. I would recommend this to all with a dog to groom.. read more
