    I want to start out by saying that I had refrained from writing a bad review for this place because I don't enjoy taking any part in harming someones livelihood unless they have really bad business practices. I'm more likely to write a glowing review than a poor review and that's how little I think of this business. I have also seen how they respond to bad reviews and they'll sink their own ship. I brought my husky here after just moving on cape for Coast Guard orders last July, he is 12 years old and a difficult groom. Barks and bubbles was the most expensive groom I've ever paid for, but like I said, he is difficult, and he came back looking great, so I was happy to pay it. Then all of a sudden on one of our appointments, I was told he was finished and when I went to pick him up, hair was flying everywhere and he had clearly not been brushed out (I've included the only photo I have of what his coat looked like). I did not know what to do, so I brought him home and my husband ended up having to call back and ask why he was not brushed out. The owner (Erika) had said he couldn't take it and that it was too stressful for him to have it all done in one day. He's been professionally groomed his whole life and it was relayed to both owners that he will scream and nip during his groom. But he is getting older so I trusted what she was saying and we brought him back the next day to complete the groom. The next few grooms were the same, a two-day event with a price increase. This is when we learned the husband was no longer helping groom him, so now I wonder if it was more of a capability problem than my dogs stress level. The last time we went to this groomer was in February, and we had been awaiting cancer results for him, I had relayed that to Erika as she kept pointing to his fatty lumps and calling them cancer, I told her those had been tested and it was just fat (she still continually kept saying he probably had lymphoma in such a callous way). We had decided we no longer wanted to come to this groomer any longer, regardless of the test results. (Tests were negative and he did not have cancer). Fast forward to September; we had been taking him to Hot Diggity in Dennis (Maddie is amazing and completed the groom in less than 3 hours, for half the cost and our dog was actually excited to see her). Anyway, I received a call, September 6th (Sunday of a holiday weekend) at 6:59pm, where they said I had not paid from my groom in February. I relayed that I always wrote the check at pickup, especially since I never knew what the price would be until I picked him up. I was met with such hostility that I was baffled. They used the term "avoided paying us" as if this wasn't the first time we had heard from them since that last groom. They then began to raise their voice even further and said I hadn't been back since February as if that was justification for them accusing me of not paying. I finally had to say "what is going on here?" and was met with "fine, have a nice day" and they hung up on me. I texted them the proof of deposited check (which they had deposited the day after it was written) with Erika's signature on the endorsement line and even emailed them asking if this was a rogue employee or if it was sanctioned by them. I received no response. I waited a few days to type this up because I still felt like maybe there was a communication problem in their business, but the fact that they wont even acknowledge me, tells me everything I need to know. Our husky has since passed from heart failure but we continue to take our other dog elsewhere. I put a lot of money, time, and love into my pets and will be letting everyone we know not to use this place.

    I had my two labradoodles groomed at Barks and Bubbles. The groomers were excellent with my dogs and I love their new haircuts

    Cheryl is an experienced, competent and compassionate service Provider. I approach services for…read moremy four-legged family members the same way I would if looking for daycare options for a small child. Our first fur-baby, our (then) 14 year old Shih Tzu had severe allergies and hair loss. Cheryl was amazingly gentle and calming while working with him. Whenever we brought him in, we could barely restrain him from getting to Cheryl. She took the time he needed to care for him properly, given his hair challenges. He had a final grooming with her (at 17) before we took him to the Rainbow Bridge. She cried as much as we did. We waited a little over a year before making the decision to get another dog. A Shih Tzu mixed rescue, renamed Chewbacca. While in different foster homes for almost two years, he definately had some serious trust issues but he really needed grooming. He was a little aggressive but was slowly learning to trust his new Mom, Dad and his older brother, 12 year old (abandoned while moving) kitty, Leonardo DiCatprio. Leo took to him and I think he realized his new brother had come from a difficult situation. They sleep in beds next to each other. Cheryl took him as her last appointment of the day. She said his mats were so bad that he really would not be able to settle into the time it would take for his hair to be done. Shaved down. Bathed twice. He had an appointment with the Vet the following day. Cheryl suggested they check his right ear. She thought it might be infected. She was right. Chewbacca was much better after his ear treatment along with new healthier food, shots, some toys and his medication. His hair/fur and nails have never been better. He still forgets sometimes but he is easily reminded. He has added an abudance of love to our family. He loves Cheryl and will quickly roll over onto his back for belly tickles. Thank you Cheryl for taking such good care of our fur-babies. Your gentle care has really helped Chewbacca to settle in and allow us to love him. With many thanks, Ed and Bobbi Giangrasso Daddy and Mommy to Leo and Chewbacca

    Mercedes "Benz" the groomer gives excellent cuts, but the customer comes LAST with Pampered Paws!…read more After TWENTY appointments at 11 AM over two YEARS, my dog had an appointment they scheduled for 10 AM today which apparently I had "confirmed" by auto-text a week ago? When my husband arrived at 11 AM he was informed they would not take my dog as we were "more than half a hour late" which is a "grace period", that our dog could be put on a "waiting list" and oh by the way when they would finally groom her whenever that would be, they wanted an additional $35 "late fee" for... what exactly? When it was them that wouldn't take the dog? Over the two years we were given crap for arriving BEFORE 11 "we have other clients you know" so today my husband actually spent time waiting around in order not to arrive TOO EARLY which he apologized to me for when he got home as if he wasn't doing exactly what Pampered Paws had taught us to expect to do. We have also been given crap for not picking her up early when contacted as if were supposed to expectd to be available, or for attempting to pick her up on time without being contacted, because it's somehow the client's fault that the groomer hasn't gotten the dog finished after FIVE HOURS at the boutique. One of them has very poor social skills and actually lied to my dog sitter back in December the last time Amber was groomed there; this woman claimed to my sitter that services are "never prepaid" and that my sitter was lying when she stated her experience to the contrary. As despite the labeled button on their website, Pampered Paws has no actual publicly available written policies, it's understandable that there is ambiguity, so a few days later I did have a conversation over the phone that seemed to clarify that prepaying was possible (which I knew because we had done it) but failed to address the issue of the rude behavior. Judee actually chuckled on the phone when saying that is "not their policy to release a dog without paying" as if we weren't long-term clients with known phone numbers who could have given a credit card over the phone if we had even been asked. She absolutely bungled that interaction but rather than apolgize she just doubled down on the sarcasm. I should have taken it as a sign there and then. Round numbers, I have spent $2000 at Pampered Paws, but they won't get another cent from me until they're "Under New Management"!

    Owner is horrible! After 11 years grooming our 2 female Samoyeds since they were puppies,…read moresuddenly the owner stated she will no longer groom our girls. We were charged $150/dog. We were prepared to pay $150x2. Then she claims she losing money and will have to charge $100 additional!! What!!!! Our Naples Florida groomer charges $120 x 2, and they know how to groom Samoyeds with their double coats. The owner continually changes prices. She was rude and unprofessional. After 11 years!!!!! She has a policy of charging customers if they are late or need to cancel. However, she has called us numerous times to come at a different time or change our appointment to another day. We were nice enough to accommodate her. When we tried to remind her of that, she said she thinks more of herself to be talked to like that, told us that she was not going to charge us, take your dogs and leave. This is how you treat a client of 11 years.
