    Remy & Otis after spa day.

    Our Go To spot for grooming our two Goldendoodles. Eva is heaven sent, a fantastic groomer, dog whisperer and super lovely person. The best, truly. My dogs love her. Other groomers we have had have done a nice job too. Manager and other staff have also been helpful and courteous. My dogs love going into the store, where treats await them, and where there are kind people doing the grooming!

    This is my aunt's dog, Izzy. Izzy says Healthy Spot is her favorite beauty parlor. Izzy always feels beautiful when she leaves Healthy Spot. And yes, Izzy, we concur. Who's a pretty dog?

    Stella looked gorgeous after her session with Eva!!

    Thanks to Eva's awesome work, our Stella came home looking super pretty!!! She has never looked so pretty before!! She took the time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted to executed perfectly!! It was more expensive than my own hair cut. But dang it! It was worth it!!

    Dogs like to go in here to get treats. Convenient to have on College Avenue. Small but clean and packed shop. There's a little dog water bowl inside as well. You can also get dental work. We just go in for treats. There's also a loyalty program which you can tell them with your phone number. Got A birthday cookie for one of the dogs here, she didn't like it, but it was a nice gesture. The store attendants are always happy to see the dogs inside. This time the representative took Polaroids of them for the wall.

    I've been a client of Eric's at Healthy Spot for a year now, and I make the drive from the North Bay just to have Eric groom my pup Cooper. Eric's expertise and dedication to his craft are truly commendable, and I completely trust him with my baby. The combination of Eric's grooming skills and the overall patience and professionalism he shows is above and beyond. Always consistent and such a friendly staff. I highly recommend!!

    I've brought in a consultant for this review, my best friend, Mr. Klondike. Mr. Klondike visits Healthy Spot at least once a week, so he's very familiar with its products, services, and people. I took careful notes of my conversation with Mr. Klondike. They appear below unedited. Me: Klondike! Healthy Spot? Klondike: Wag Wag Wag Me: Let's go to Healthy Spot Klondike: Wag Wag Wag Klondike: Walks towards the door excitedly Me: OK. Let's go. Healthy Spot. Klondike: (Uses his large and heavy snout to herd me towards the door) Me: OK. Healthy Spot! (attach the leash and open the door) Klondike: Wag Wag, Pull Pull. (Gllefully trots the 25 minutes from our house to Healthy Spot) My perspective: This is a great place; we are tremendously lucky to have it nearby. Great staff who clearly love dogs and are always willing to help. Special call-out to Romi, Hao and Audrie! Thank you for taking such good care of us. High-quality food, treats, and toys. Good grooming services. Yes, you need to reserve waaaay in advance, but Klondike always comes back looking fantastic. Bonus points for being the only groomer in the area that will take dogs over a hundred pounds. Mr. Klondike nailed it when he said Wag Wag Wag!!!

    Thank you for the Easter tie Hao!! We love it

    I love going here every so often. It's always such a pleasure to see Hao and Audrie. They always remember my dog Comet's name, treat him really well and provide such wonderful customer service. No wonder I keep coming back for the dog food and grooming services. Thank you you guys!! :) I also love how they have the whole Ziwi & small batch series because Comet really loves these. Really appreciate having this store in the local neighborhood!!

    Baba after his spa day

    Dog Grooming- I've known Monica for years and she is the only person I'll let groom my dog, Baba. Baba consistently goes in a hot mess and comes out so fluffy, clean, smells SO GOOD, and his nails are perfectly cut. Which a vet once told me they needed to SEDATE my dog, which honestly, he just gets agitated and they escalated the situation. But he does perfect with Monica! She knows dogs and dog behavior which I feel is so important to making sure a dog isn't stressed during grooming. Then of course there's the actual cut, he looks SO HANDSOME after every cut. Thanks for always taking care of my lil man! Also, everyone is the store is super friendly and helpful and I've always been greeted the moment me and my Baba walk in.

    Do you service cats as well as dogs?

    Are you still open? I've called the last 2 days and no response.

He's on flea meds and I've never seen a flea or these bites on him before. Don't take your dog here. I was recommended this place by a friend. I'm pretty sure they're friends, so I was hesitant to leave a review. I told him that I just needed the basics. Sanitation cut, glands, and nails. I dropped my dog off at 10. I called at 2 and he wasn't ready. I don't know how you need 4 hours when I made an appointment, but whatever. I finally got to pick him up around 3. Was charged almost $100 and was griped out by the guy saying that next time he had to "do all that" it would be $120. All that? He did way more than I asked. I am actually find with that. Hair grows out. I'm not okay with the nicks and razor burn. He's been licking and chewing himself for 4 days. He never used to do that. He keeps licking his anus, which worries me about how gentle they weren't with expressing him. The cut itself is super choppy looking. Like he has short spots and long spots right next to each other. But even if he looked perfect, I'd be upset by the razor burn and the little nicks. I wish I had listened to myself. I really didn't want to leave him there. My brain kept screaming for me to leave. I should have listened. Now I had to spend another $40 on hot spot sprays and skin soothing lotion.

He woke me up several times that night after I brought him home. He was agitated, seeking comfort. He'd been nicked and in some spots was shaved so close the skin was exposed. When we first arrived -- before I left him to be groomed -- he responded with panic. I have felt such regret for not listening to him and the plea in his gaze not to leave him. I wonder what he sensed. I will post a photo of how he looks after an excellent grooming elsewhere, and another of how he looked when I picked him up from Spaw. I didn't post a review at the time because I felt the owner was nice and meant well -- but I can't drive past the business without a shudder.

We've recently moved to this area, and all our previous grooming experiences elsewhere have been positive. I had provided Taj with clear instructions for my dog's grooming: poodle paws, teddy-bear face, and a summer cut for his body. However, my dog came back with visible razor burns, uneven patches of fur, and nails that weren't trimmed. I was also in absolute disbelief that his face was completely shaved, contrary to our discussion. Along with the traumatic experience for our dog, Taj's interaction with my husband was less than professional. Instead of acknowledging the mistakes, Taj was defensive and lacked courtesy. Given our experience, I am genuinely surprised by the high reviews Taj has received.

It…read moreis a fantastic safe place for her and a good price given other options (many more expensive options don't even have playtime included!!). She always runs right in when we drop her off and we can tell she has a lot of fun when we watch her on the webcam. Her latest stay was 2.5 weeks and while she was exhausted when we picked her up from playing so much she is very healthy and happy. In situations where our travel plans have delayed us in picking her up, they have always been incredibly kind and understanding. We started adding walks to her long stays so she gets some individual outside time in addition to all day inside playtime. I have nothing but good things to report about the Barkmont and they make being a dog owner in the Bay so much easier. I also think they are just really good people, I heard they now partner with local pet rescues to give their foster dogs some socialization and love. Makes us feel good supporting them. Picture is from home but the boarder in question.

At the other facility, Ollie for the first time displayed separation anxiety. The first time he did so, I thought he was just a bit nervous. The second time he had that look in his eyes that said, "do not leave me." Recently, we returned to the Barkmont. There was and continues to be a completely different response from Ollie. HE CANNOT WAIT TO GET IN THE DOOR AT THE BARKMONT. He absolutely loves the staff - professionals who are all very loving, kind and tender with the dogs. I should add that Ollie is somewhat of a higher maintenance dog - a 2-year-old 80 lb Samoyed who is an attention hound. I really like that the Barkmont has cameras so that you can log into to see how your fur baby is doing during a stay. The dogs are constantly monitored by staff who are in the various rooms - to ensure that no one gets out of line. Alot of additional services - meals, walks, bath etc. Kirk and Amanda - the owners both love dogs. They have provided in my opinion the VERY BEST DAYCARE FACILITY in the Bay Area.
