    I am a very happy customer for my two kids because the care and commitment and compassion shown to my littles is fantastic! Pat always knows just what im looking for and delivers a supreme cut each visit for Trey and Starr I drive from Northpark for her attention to my dogs. hope she has been training someone because if she retires i will be at a loss. I want to be on time to pick up my littles so they can carry on with their exceptional service to their other customers. the salon is intimate and crate space a premium. A late pick up fee is totally justified. Keep up the GREAT work you guys.

    I made an appointment ( not necessary by the way) for a nail trim for my Dogue de Bordeaux. They were so quick she didn't have time to be nervous. Great. Staff. Amazing job. No wait. I will get her bathed next time. This is an animal loving place.

    My first time in was for the $5 nail trim & file. My husky won't let me come near her nails so I wasn't sure how it would go but they got her in and out within 15 minutes! h Her nails are so much better and this was a great experience!

    Caitlin did a great job on my very anxious English Setter, Maisy. She does not tolerate having her feet done and has actually had to be put under anesthesia to be clipped but Caitlyn figured out a technique to take care of her toenails and her grinch feet. She.looks so good. Thank you again Caitlyn!

    The team is always excellent with my pup. I don't need to ask for anyone specific because they are all great and my dog looks exactly the way I ask each time.

    My Penny girl looks beautiful!

    Years later they still outdo themselves. I love how they take care of my girl and give her the best grooming.

    I love this place! First time coming here my usual groomer was booked for the next month. Quickly answered my call and made an appointment for my 22 lb terrier. Ryan took her appointment and she came out so cute!

The staff was nice and welcoming, and the lobby was clean and well kept. I brought my dog in for a nail trim, which they handled quickly and professionally. The only hiccup was with the walk-in policy. Online, nail trims are listed as a walk-in service, so I stopped by assuming it would be straightforward. When I arrived, they explained that walk-ins are only allowed during certain hours on certain days. To their credit, they made an exception since they weren't busy at that moment, which I appreciated. That said, it was a little frustrating because that information isn't listed on Yelp or their website -- it's only posted on a sign inside the shop. I'd still come back because the service itself was good, the staff was kind, and the prices are fair. I'd just recommend calling ahead to confirm hours if you're planning to use a walk-in service. Suggestion for the owners: it would really help customers if the website and Yelp page clearly listed the walk-in hours so people know what to expect before they arrive. TL;DR: Affordable, clean, and friendly dog grooming spot with convenient parking. Just call ahead if you're planning to walk in for services like nail trims, since the walk-in hours aren't currently listed online.

The dog really needed grooming. Finally, I came across this business on Google and saw their great reviews. I called and spoke with Monica, explained the situation, and she was able to get me in within two hours. I am so grateful for her. From the moment we spoke, she was kind, caring, and incredibly helpful. When I arrived, she examined the dog's coat and clearly explained the process and services included. The prices were great--especially considering all the services included with the full grooming (bath, haircut, nail trimming, and more). I was honestly surprised at how reasonable the price was. On top of that, due to the circumstances, they even gave me a discount to help my elderly neighbor. That truly says a lot about their character and their business. They are so sweet and caring with the dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone--you won't regret it!"

    I chose this place because of their Yelp rating and I concurred with why they are rated high. Why…read moredid I give my review 5 stars? They had a process, from intaking me as a customer, to filling out the proper paperwork (as a first time customer for them). When I came in they did an analysis on my dog to determine what is needed, and asked me what I would like to have happen. They did a great job on grooming my pet and make sure he smelled good at the end. They provided me recommendations on how often to come in. They gave my dog praises and a treat once he was done. They provided pictures of how the results were prior to my picking him up. They provided in detail any items to pay attention to that they noticed. Great job on being thorough and taking care of the customer. Great job on treating other customers (not just myself, but I observed how they treated others as well). If there were any downsides to mention, it would be that their prices are a little more on the premium side than what I'm used to (as my previous groomer for my dog parted ways with her employer, so I had to find a new one). What to prep for before coming here: Know when the last rabies shot is Take a look at their website to manage expectations (on what services they provide)

I specifically asked for someone who knows how to groom a Doodle. She was in great shape as I get her groomed every week so it's not like there was a lot to do. I spoke with the groomer upon arrival and specifically said no cutting. Her hair is so long that I couldn't see the patches the bark bus groomer had cut out of my dog's coat until I brushed her out myself two days later. Because we were traveling and I knew I wouldn't be using bark bus again based on what they did to my dog, I decided not to say anything to the company at the time. However, bark bus is a relentless marketing machine that will flood you with text messages and phone calls for weeks. So I finally said that we wouldn't be back and that I didn't have the best experience. That's all I said. They reached out to me, asking for specific feedback, pretending to care and have concern. So I took my time to share with them what had happened. They asked for photographs, which I provided, again wasting my time. They then decided That I was lying to them and that their bark bus groomer did not do this to my dog. Again, she's been seen by the same groomer for seven years. I know my dog and I know what my groomer does. I am so offended at how I've been treated by bark bus and their total lack of taking responsibility for what their employee did to my dog is just horrifying. Do not trust them with your dog. They will not take care of you or your pet. I'm happy to share photos
