If you have to use the bathroom before you drop your dog off expect someone to yell and bang on the door. Went in there looking for the receptionist for an appointment and no one was at the counter so I decided to use the bathroom to find someone banging on the door asking what I was doing I said I was using the restroom before I could get another word in she told me to leave and they don't offer bathrooms to just anyone who walks in. So I left, no need for my business if you want to be rude with anyone doing a simple thing that all humans do lol read more

BEWARE OF DISCOUNT GROOMERS: We really wanted to leave a 5 start review. Our dog looks great, and the price was phenomenal(more on this later). Our golden had a good amount of mats. We knew this. She got her beautiful hair cut, and looked great. Almost instantly, after we got home, it was clear that she was uncomfortable; licking her groin area constantly, which she has never done. She struggled to go to the bathroom. 3 days later, we took her to our vet. The vet stated that it appeared that her hair in the sanitary area may have been cut with clippers, and the clippers likely irritated and or scratched her. Think of a razor burn. We called the groomer, moreso to ask them to leave a note. We enjoyed the staff on Saturday, and again, the cost was far less than we'd found elsewhere(). The associate who spoke with my wife told her "my groomer told me she noticed the redness and irritation on Saturday, and that they informed you of this. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN. My wife and I picked her up together, and we were told NOTHING. In the background, my wife could hear the manager, piping in her their $0.02 on this. Most managers would have likely said "here, maybe I should speak with them." Not here! We were not asking for any money back. We were not asking for a free cut next time. We wanted them to know what had happened, to ensure we avoid any future issues. There was zero accountability or ownership of the issue. There was also zero apology for the LACK OF COMMUNICATION when we picked her up; "well, she told me she mentioned it to you". We will not be taking our dog back. We were looking for a good groomer, who cares about their clients. It is clear that Barking Mad simply cares about being "right" and saving face, rather than acknowledge the fact that we were not told this when we picked her up. It's very likely that we were not told this because they knew it was their fault, and again...they care about $ and saving face. read more

I'm a fan ! Sharon was awesome. She was really sweet with my Bella and she looked great. I am new to the area and I have never been a fan of taking my dog to Petco/Petsmart because in my previous area I didn't feel like the groomers were experienced and the pricing was unreasonable for the size of my Bella. She's a 6lb chihuahua/pomeranian and I feel that pricing should be based on the size of the animal being groomed. We will definitely be back. read more

As someone with a family who owns small dogs that constantly need grooming, I can tell you not all grooming places are created equal. My grandmother usually goes to Petsmart or Petco to get them groomed and that's how we met Sharon. She was one of the only people that could groom our cocker spaniel Abby who often gets cranky while being trimmed. So when Sharon branched out to start get own business, we followed. Sharon is awesome; she treats our dogs like they are her own! We had called Petco to see if they could fit her in and ended up having to call again (because they never got back to us!) and they wanted to charge us for things they don't do anyway (teeth brushing and the nails they just had trimmed, with them I might add, 2 weeks ago!). Sharon was able to fit us in today since it was slow and Abby came out looking like a million bucks! Very happy customer! read more

First time used and it was a good experience. Small dogs groomed with a nail trim for $60, plus $5 additional per dog to buff the nails. They looked and smelled great, and were happy from the groom. You can't miss the big sign on Dekalb just down from the train station, but watch for the traffic while construction is ongoing. read more

I no longer go here. I had been taking my dog for nail trims, which they did a great job. I walked in one day and the owner (not sure of her name) did not see me come in, and all I heard in the back was YELLING and CURSING at a dog she was grooming. I could not believe the things she was saying to this poor dog! This dog was already scared and she was only making it worst by screaming at him a the top of her lungs. If you are a groomer i would expect you to have some patience and know how to handle a scared animal. It made me feel so uneasy and I will never go back. I would be very weary about leaving your dog here for grooming. If it's a simple nail trim, that's your call, but I decided I didn't want any of my money going into this person's pocket. read more

I called them looking for a nail clipping for my yorkie, no appt necessary, in and out in 5 minutes! My girl does not like people touching her feet or tail. Thanks!!! read more

Beth and all of the girls at Barking Mad are like family. We've known most of these girls since 2011 when they were at Petco. My Sammy loves going to see them, he stands up in the car and starts wagging his tail when we're a block away and jumps out of the car and runs inside and gives everyone kisses. Beth and the girls take such great care of him and he loves his day at the spa read more

Absolutely love my girls here!!! Ms. Sharon has been grooming Capone my Neapolitan Mastiff since we brought him home year and a half ago. She is patient and i love how she is with him especially dealing with his stubbornness and testiness and that's a lot when dealing with a 160 old pup. He loves going to see the girls and getting pampered. Highly recommend Both Sharon and Beth!!! read more

Barking Mad Grooming - Capone - Pet Groomers Near Me - Bridgeport, Pennsylvania

100% recommend without hesitation!! This is the best groomers around!! Our one dog Archie hated the groomers he would scream, whine, bite, and kick all three of his legs to try and get away. It broke my heart! Ever since we brought him to Barking Mad Grooming he doesn't even cry anymore!! Beth is magical I never thought Archie would ever be calm while getting his nails clipped, but with Beth he is!! Archie is an 80 pound husky collie mix so he's not an easy customer, but she makes it look effortless. If you have a dog who has difficulty with getting his nails or clipped or just have a dog in general absolutely go to Barking Mad Grooming and nowhere else!! read more

When my dog was given back to me the groomer had said she pooped twice which caused her butt to be bright red and bleeding. Taking a closer look we saw that she was bleeding due to a cut. We brought her home and she did continue to poop with blood from the cut dripping out. She was perfectly fine before going to the groomers. When I called, they said they think it is something she pooped out and claimed read more

I've been having dogs groomed for 35 years never ever had this bad of an experience. My pup was in a crate for 4 hours wet as they didn't use a dryer said he was afraid of it, guess that's why he smelled so bad when I picked him up. I had to give him a bath to get rid of the smell. Told me he was completely matted, no he was not they were just in a hurry to get him done since I called after 4 hours and ask how much longer and was told they hadn't started. They completely shaved him down in an hours time, rather than taking the time to groom him properly. read more

I absolutely love Barking Mad. The ladies love their jobs and it shows. Our border collie/aussie and long haired terrier come home looking like new and improved dogs. They actually glisten. Big kudos to the groomers at Barking Mad! read more

Great spot. A little difficult to find, my gps told me I was there in the middle of a bridge, but they were able to give me easy directions when I called. My labradoodle gets so anxious about being groomed that I get very anxious about having to take her, but the staff at Barking Mad put us both at ease. Our groomer was very knowledgeable and talked me through her process, and it was obvious that she loved dogs. My dog came out looking beautiful and I will be returning! read more

A very negative experience, won't be returning and have told several friends now as well to take their business elsewhere. I heard such great reviews about this place, but of course these were from people who just loved the finished product- as they didn't know what went on behind closed doors. I picked my pup up and due to where the door is vs the window placement to the back grooming area, no one had seen me come in. I heard yelling, belittlement and pure nastiness coming from the back. My stomach had every kind of knot begin to form and I prayed please do not let that be my pup. Oh but it was.... it took everything in me not to jump into panic mode. I glared into the back, and funny the tune then changed oh so quick with Beth " awww great job; okay just a little more to go". (I can see right through you lady) My pup was crying, began to bark and wasn't herself at all. Perhaps going forward when a dog is clearly in pain, you will stop what you're doing and thoroughly assess the issue, as you shouldn't want such pain to continue on.... oh but being a grooming salon owner- you should be smart enough to know this, right? Won't be returning ever again, I think you have a lot to learn, and the fact that my dog was being hurt and you were beyond mean to her with what you were saying/ continuing to hurt her- I would love to see your salon lose more business. Being in this type of industry I would expect someone like you to have compassion and patience. Take it from someone who witnessed this firsthand people- take your business someplace else, if you care about your pet. read more

I recently moved and was looking for a groomer closer to home. I am very particular about the care my fur baby receives and he was a regular at a great grooming salon in Philadelphia where he's been going for years. I am not a fan of chain stores (Petco, Petsmart) for grooming so I searched on Yelp for some local grooming salons and decided based on the reviews to try Barking Mad. I was very pleased with the service my dog received. Scheduling an appointment was very easy and they seemed to try and accommodate a time that worked for me. I made my appointment with Sharon who was very friendly and discussed in detail what I wanted to have done and any concerns. The time on service was comparable to the time it normally takes for him to be groomed. When I picked him he looked great and even had an Eagles ascot which was a nice touch. The service was good and the price reasonable. I will definitely recommend this salon for your pet needs. My only concern was it was pretty difficult to find at night and the entrance was through a dark lot which left me a bit uneasy but I just pulled right up to the steps and ran in and ran right back and jumped in my car. read more

Took my two dogs here based on recommendations from some friends. My dogs are sweet but are also nervous weirdos. They took great care of them and responded to their individual quirks. They made the grooming experience as painless as possible for both me and my pups. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellant place. Friendley, professional people who really love dogs. They did a great job with my two fur babies and my fur babies aren't the easiest customers. Highly recommend them to groom your pups. read more

I was thrilled with the friendliness and professionalism! Our dog, Toby, is a 6 yr old rescue and while very sweet he is timid. Beth did an amazing job!! read more

I have used the nail clipping service for my dog and one of my cats and am very satisfied with the service. In fact I used to take my cat to the vet for a nail clip and I usually had to take her back in 4 - 6 wks. to have her nails trimmed again. The woman at Barking did a great and seemingly better job. My cats nails have not grown back as quickly as when I took her to the vet. read more
