Bark Side Pet Grooming

On my travels, I worked for about two months at Bark Side Pet Grooming. I was welcomed in by everyone who worked there and had a really nice experience! Markie (the salon owner) always checked in with me to make sure everything was working out well and I noticed the same care towards the other employees. Everyone was so willing to help me lift up bigger dogs and give me ideas on what to do in the area. I enjoyed seeing the sweet relationships between the groomers and the community day after day. Overall, I would 10/10 work at this salon again 💖🐾

They shaved my dog to the skin on his face, neck and knuckles. I could see his veins and he is a black dog with gray skin. He also had no matted areas. They called themselves schooling me saying that is how poodles are professionally groomed. They knicked his elbow which could happen to anyone so I let that go. They claimed they gave him free services such as teeth brushing etc. to compensate for that accident. I gave them a second chance and this time they shaved his face perfectly, however they left his body too long. I specifically told her how I wanted him cut after the first fiasco. She said that was as short as they could go. I told her that there is a setting between scalping and what you did today. The length of his face is how I told her to cut his body and legs down to his pompoms. They told me I should just take him somewhere else from now on. The price is too expensive for what they do. Also, the price increased from the first visit to the next. The first time was $54 and the second one was $66. I asked why the increase and she said the first time was discounted because of the accident. I reminded her she told me that she gave him free services for that not a price reduction. Anyway I would not recommend them. I am appalled at the way I was treated! They were very unprofessional! By the way i did tell them how I wanted him cut the first time and thought we were on the same page...evidently not.

By far the best groomer I’ve ever taken my pups to. I have a 13 yr old lab with joint issues and they made me feel completely comfortable that they could get him groomed without issue and they sure did - went above and beyond and even helped me to the car. Also did my long haired young shepherd and he looks amazing. Experienced and caring - excellent groomer.

They did wonderful with my 5 1/2 year old Bichon Friese" the staff is friendly and polite and the facilities are clean

Maria washed my big scaredy-cat of a dog Bernard the other day and everyone is still talking about how good he smells and looks. She even pointed out an issue with his nail on his back paw that I would’ve never seen. Thanks for taking care of that big Ol baby!
