We are new to the area and needed to get our 5 lb. Shih-Poo groomed. We adopted her three weeks ago from a friend so although she has been to groomers before, we had not. I do know that our dog gets very nervous and skittish at facilities. I talked to Tiffany, the owner/groomer on the phone prior to the appointment and she was absolutely wonderful. She was patient answering all my questions, explaining what would be done, and I could tell from speaking with her that grooming was much more than a business to her--she truly cares about the animals.
When I brought our dog for her appointment, Tiffany greeted her in a way that made her comfortable and soon she was in Tiffany's arms, licking her face. I would recommend Barks & Bubbles highly! This is definitely not one of those places that cranks through dog after dog but instead gives very personalized service. Being able to speak with the actual groomer on the phone prior to the appointment and the time she took discussing grooming, shampoos for my dog's dry skin, and other questions I had, both on the phone and at then at the appointment as well, exceeded my expectations. I took way too much of her time but she was patient and gracious.
I can't say enough how pleased I am to have found Barks & Bubbles. Great service. Caring and personable owner/groomer. Supporting a local business. What more could you want? (And, by the way, my dog's haircut looks fantastic!) read more
