Occasionally forget to trim nails. I would give 5 stars because I really like the groomers, but the only thing that drives me crazy is the trainer in the lobby. While I realize she is trying to run a business, it's terrible to arrive for check in for grooming and being told "don't do this. Stand away from this dog. etc. etc." I want to be understanding, but the last visit it got downright rude. Perhaps there is not enough space? Maybe there is a more conducive location? Not sure, but I do know that our pups are scared enough to come to the groomer and when we arrive we are trying to keep them calm with calm voices because they can sense everything.

I rarely leave negative reviews for any business (small or large) because I understand how hard it…read moreis to keep one running in this economy. HOWEVER, this is something I cannot just drop without giving my personal experience. I've been going here since around 2021 or 2022 because our dogs' old groomer moved away right after the pandemic and so, I found this place through googling around. At first, it was okay: they are very fast on grooming our dogs (which I now consider as red flag because our old one takes more than 90 minutes per dog), but it's cash or check only (another red flag). However, two days ago, Jelly went in for a supposedly routine grooming session as we've always done every six months because we just prefer to keep the usual trimming and brushing at home just to be cost effective. Last time that we went was in late December 2025 but it was with a different groomer. That one went pretty smoothly and very fast (under an hour). Cheri, the groomer this time, briefly explained to me that Jelly was anxious and was "jumping around" when she got knicked around her left leg near the armpit area and I will have to bring her to the vet to get "one or two stitches, but she'll be fine" Just to paraphrase what she told me and at first, I took her word for it because well, of course, she's a "PROFESSIONAL" groomer. Well, I took her to one of the nearest animal hospitals around Morton Grove, and the vet told me that the cut was a bit deeper because she could see the under her skin (basically down to her bone) and she had three stitches. I mean, I already had the most stressful morning hauling two dogs back and forth to this place from my house in Skokie, but this is just cherry on top! Look, I'm going to suppress my emotions here as much as I could and get down to the facts. This incident happened in YOUR place of business under YOUR care. When we leave our dogs in your hands, we kinda expect them to be in a safe environment and for the amount of money and trust that we have put into this place, we were hoping that we get reciprocated the same experience (safety and trust). That was not the case at all and I should have taken all the little red flags that I've noticed throughout the years. I understand that sometimes Jelly gets anxious and nervous around places and people. Well, of course they will be stressed when a human right in front of them is holding a blade (and a sharp one!). And of course out of instinct, they will move! It's just how it is, and I understand. However, I left that place feeling like it was my fault for letting this happen and Cheri was just nonchalant about it. She was actually more concerned on making sure the payment went through from Zelle than the condition of my dog when we left. I still don't know what exactly happened because I wasn't there, but it left me with some doubts on what she was telling me or maybe there's more to it that they're not telling. Jelly has been to various groomers for almost 9 years now ever since we got her in 2017. Every time we pick her up from the groomer, we always ask them how our dogs were, how was their behavior, is there anything we need to keep in mind as dog owners before we return. And 99.999999% of the time, the groomers would say that everything went well and Jelly was very well-behaved and pretty good at staying still....This is the very first time I have heard from a groomer that she was "jumping around". I don't know, maybe be that day was just not a good day for Jelly to go to the groomer? We may never know. Looking at other negative reviews here, I have made peace with the fact that this place will never cover the vet bills (It was about $960 for the whole hospital visit PLUS the $150 for grooming my two dogs). But what do I expect from a place that only takes cash or check only?? Sure, Cheri did reach out to me asking for any update and I did respond back but I also asked for the owner's contact information just to let them know and report this incident and go from there. I have not received any response back from her nor the owner yet, and I doubt I will ever get a reply. Look, the reason why we go here is to avoid this exact scenario. I'm going to use an analogy here: It's like when your car breaks down and you bring it to a mechanic...hopefully the one that has the experience AND the expertise in these matters because DIY may not be the best. But the mechanic messed up your car and instead of paying for $500 fix, it's now at least $2000....who wouldn't be pissed off with that? Anyways, I'm posting this NOT for the owner or employees of this place anymore but for other potential customers who are looking for a safe and trustworthy groomer. Because this place is definitely not it. I have posted a picture of Jelly's injury and a screenshot of Cheri's "expertise" that was posted on their website below. You be the judge on whether you still trust this place or not.

She comes out super clean and adorable with a seasonal bandana on. My dog also loves that the owner doesn't put her in a cage while she's waiting for me to pick her up. I highly recommend Barks and Bows.

When I picked him up, he was ready to go, no waiting and he looked fabulous. His coat was beautiful and his skin felt soft underneath. Even Max's cat at home nuzzled into his coat, giving Jessica her unofficial endorsement. He looked great for a longer than usual time and he seemed to not shed quite as much. We couldn't be happier!

We planned to board our dogs again later this year, and since it had been two years since we last boarded them, they asked us to bring our dogs in for a few hours of temperament evaluation. We dropped our dogs off yesterday for that few hours of evaluation, and alas, within 10 minutes of dropping them off the Wiggly Tails owner called and told us to come back and get our dogs. He said that our Jack Russell mix had become aggressive when they tried to remove his leash (his leash is a little tricky to remove, which in retrospect we should have advised them of). What we didn't appreciate was the owner's unwillingness to discuss the issue. Yes, our Jack Russell mix becomes aggressive when a stranger sticks their hands in his face, but he's always been that way and in the past the Wiggly Tails staff always found their way into his confidence, and he's never bitten anyone, but the owner was adamant: come get your dogs. We retrieved our dogs feeling that Wiggly Tails no longer wants or needs our business.
