These guys are fantastic!! I have a pomeranian and he is high maintenance. I had taken him to other…read moregroomers in the past and never been overly impressed. There was one time he was given a 'lion cut' like that was in trend for small dogs or something and he looked like Simba from the Lion King. Well now he goes to Barkley Manor and he really enjoys his time there. The staff fuss over him and they always do such a great job of his grooming, he smells fantastic, ears are so beautifully shaped, his paws, his claws trimmed, a nice cut and they listen. Listening is important, us humans don't like bad haircuts so why give your dog a bad haircut? I got them to give him a mohawk once and he looked like he had serious attitude. Barkley Manor don't just shave dogs, they style dogs and they do a damn good job. Make sure you book in advance, like 3 appointments in advance, they are so good that they are that busy, all the time.

Ok, I know dark toe nails make it difficult to see where the quick is, but if you cut the quick, at least be up front and tell the owners. Our poor boy was extremely traumatised after that visit and we never went back!

A nice, large and friendly pet store this one. They have lots of pets, and pretty much anything…read morethat you need for your pet, including a pet grooming section at the back of the store where you can get your dog a professional haircut or whatever it is that dogs require. The staff are a friendly bunch and always seem to be happy to help. After staring at the puppies for a couple of minutes my girlfriend was asked if she wanted to hold one of them. I don't know what it is with girls and puppies but it literally made her day, so thank you Animates staff. I love the bearded dragon they have, and if he wasn't so expensive I'd so be buying him in a heartbeat. Maybe I should've asked if I could hold him.

They also have a dog grooming centre located at the back of the store.
