These negative reviews cause me to wonder if the pet owners are negligent or just drama queens. What a joke. The office just called bullshit on all your antics and secretly hoped you would find another office. Anyway, the staff has always been wonderful, always. They genuinely care about our animals. But for us some of our critters are special needs and having a vet that is willing to work with us is just priceless. So many offices just don't want to make the office or are not set-up to deal with it. One of our dogs had a serious infection but over the course of six months we had it beat. We cried, laughed, and worked through it together. Our old dog was all the better for it. When he passed on a few years later at 14 the gals worked with us again, the whole office pulling through for him. We still have the card they sent. As for the new puppy, good grief... what a show he puts on. He has those ladies googling all over him. Shots... no problem. Butt thermometer... no problem. Nail trim... no problem. Meanwhile when we get home he turns back into the little savage he really is. Little trickster. Who wants to run laps?! If you're a good honest pet owner trying to do the right thing, you and your pet will be in good hands. Highly recommend the entire staff there.

on Labor Day weekend I found a large lump on my 5 yr old rottie, I first took her to Banfield, it…read morewas Sunday morning and nothing was open, they wouldn't see her, said it was an emergency and referred me to a clinic, they were booked up and wouldn't see her, drove to an emergency animal hospital and they said it would be a 10 hour wait, probably not an emergency, to call my vet on Tuesday, I did, they got me in on Thursday. Sadie does better when we are not around so they took her out of the room to examine her, they came back and said it was a tumor and she needed surgery, I did find it strange my bill was only $85 dollars, she also got her Rabies shot, no blood work, no X-rays, but I trusted them and I was upset, no guarantees, and they would also spay her while they were doing it, they said they would email me an estimate, they did, slightly over $1700, I made an appointment, my family was devastated, 2 days later I noticed the lump was smaller, another day it was gone, took her to another vet, they said it was probably mastitis, but couldn't be sure because the lump was gone, long story short, my dog is fine and she could have had unnecessary surgery and broke me financially I do not know if they are incompetent or money hungry, either way I strongly DO NOT recommend them

I explained that she needed constant reassurance and responded well to talking and petting, but she didn't respond well to be rushed or ganged up on like some salons do. She said they would do their best and kinda quit listening while worked with something on the desk. In about 2 hours received a text saying my dog done and we could pick her up, As soon as we were at the desk paying the girl stated our dog who I had told them was anxious tried to bite the groomer. I guess despite telling them that she had acute anxiety and needed lots of reassurance they overlooked that! My dog's cut was ok at first but, upon closer looks her cut was irregular. The left was cut and it was nice, but the right side was only washed and brushed. It wasn't trimmed like the other side. The girl suggested that the next time she has to get her hair trimmed, give her CPDs! My dog is NOT a biter and is not aggressive if given verbal reassurance and talked to by a confident person. So if you have a dog that has anxiety issues or fear, I unfortunately can't recommend The Barker Shop!

I set up an appointment online, but received a phone call because the appointment slot I made was not for a large dog. They got her in even sooner for a bath and brush only. We have never trimmed our Bernese Mountain dog ever because we enjoy her long hair and it's winter. We dropped her off and went shopping. Surprisingly they called early and said she was ready to pick up. She is always so excited when we pick her up so we didn't notice anything, but when we got home we noticed she had been fully trimmed. We were very disappointed that our long haired girl received a full trim for the very first time. Even her five inch long belly hair was shaved to a stubble and all of her long hair on her feet was gone. So I called to let the owner/manager know. She was apologetic and offered some money back but we didn't pay for a full haircut so I just wanted to let her know that we didn't receive what we had initially requested. The trim looked good, it's just not what we wanted. We will take our furry baby back there, but will make sure next time it's clearly understood what is wanted.

After 24 hours with the dog, we decided to return him. His alpha demeanor scared my daughter, and the dog scratched and bit the whole time. Nowhere in the contract did it say should we keep our $200 "donation." This woman was thoroughly unprofessional and, unpleasant and a liar. Buyer beware. She is very nice up front, but nasty if you have issues with the dogs.

His prices are quite reasonable.
