This is our first time here and we are SO happy! They groomed her exactly how we wanted. The place was so clean and didn’t smell like a dog groomers at all! My dog is super high energy and still a puppy and she did a great job. Price was a little higher than expected, but overall very happy with the whole experience and will absolutely be going back.

The best in the business. Got a new puppy and brought her here a few times for a Bath and basic grooming and today she got her first haircut. She looks awesome. Allie did an amazing job and all the staff there including the owner Chrissy are such a pleasure. Highly recommend

Today was Baileys first visit and we are extremely pleased. Staff was very professional and offered great advice on how to keep my Bailey’s fur. Thank you Barking Spa you have a new family member. We will definitely be returning.

I take Kona here once a month and they do a fantastic job on her. She is a mini poodle and can get very matted at times. I've had my dog groomed at other places and the dogs come back scared and acting different the entire day, not here with Christine! She's amazing with them. I would highly recommend this place.

We have been taking our sweet but squirmy Bichon Frisé to Barking Spa for over a year now. She always looks clean and adorable, but today’s grooming was extra special! I highly recommend Barking Spa.

My four year old Cocker Spaniel had a lovely time at Barking Spa and came home happy and looking so handsome. The price was right and service incredible. We will be back! Woof! - Pippen agrees.

2024 update: just came to say that Sam had a lovely day at the spa. I was very pleased by how caring everyone is, and he looks super handsome! We have been bringing our dog, Sam, here for years. The service is consistently good. The people who work here are great with him. He's an older dog now, with arthritis and anxiety, and they are so careful with him. He always looks extra handsome after his "spa day", they always make Mommy feel comfortable dropping him off, they always offer him a treat when he's finished and put the cutest bandanas on him, and the prices are reasonable.

Update, many love to see a before and after picture. From Today 10/28/ .We have our golden doodle groomed here and they are amazing. Their attention to detail is in every cut. I highly recommend Barking Spa. We had a mobile groomer before thinking that was an economical way to go but it was actually the same cost with much less quality. He comes home happy and looking amazing.

Love Barking Spa! I have a rather big fluffy husky & they treat him so well. I’m pretty particular with how I want him groomed & they always deliver & keep notes for future reference. They always leave Koda looking absolutely amazing & smelling so good!

My Gracy girl is a soft coated wheaten terrier. She is the sweetest puppy girl but not every groomer cuts her hair cute. I don’t like the traditional wheaten cut but with her soft hair she looks adorable with short hair.Barking Spa provided me with excellent service, she answered the phone asked me what I was looking for and was able to give me an appointment without waiting a month.Seems pretty basic but she really was very warm and welcoming.Her setup is adorable and Gracy was happy going in and coming home 🐾 the price was a little higher than expected but not by much. We are extremely happy with the level of service we received. If your looking for a groomer this place is excellent. Thank you for making Gracy look so cute

We found Barking Spa 3 years ago when we needed a last-minute emergency appointment for our (then) puppy. Now, years later, we use the Barking Spa every 2-4 weeks for our 3yo, 60-pound doodle. They are consistent in their work. The Owner is incredibly nice, super understanding and has done a great job building a highly reputable company. They have made some recent renovations, so the facility is clean and looks-like-new. Drop-off and pick-up is seamless. Highly recommend The Barking Spa.

We love it here! Benji Bear seems to really enjoy visiting Barking Spa for his spa days. Once we park he knows exactly where he is and where he’s headed. Always comes out smelling fantastic and extremely soft. He’s now a regular. 🤣 Thanks so much to the team.

First time client here. Took me 6 year Goberian (husky/golden retriever mix) to the spa today . Abby is always been afraid and anxious about grooming. When I picked her up she was a happy puppy. Angel took good care of my fur baby. Will definitely return and recommend the Barking Spa.And the staff is so polite and friendly

The first few times we took our dog here they were great. Recently when we took him, they shaved his stomach (instead of just cutting the hair like they normally do). He is a husky/border collie mix and should not be shaved. I was upset but I figured maybe it was someone new and I would give the benefit of the doubt. My husband took him again today for grooming and specifically told them not to shave his stomach. He came home not only with his stomach shaved, but with it shaved as if a 5 year old did it. His left side is shaved higher than his right side. It even looks like the razor slipped in the second picture you can see it. It looks awful but most of all his fur should NOT be shaved or it will be damaged. I can’t believe they did this when we specifically requested that they do not. Very upset and disappointed.

Barking Spa has been grooming our dog for 7 1/2 years. I’ve never had a bad V experience. I’ve always felt our dog is in capable hands regarding his grooming. Staff is personable and competent. Highly recommend

I've been taking my 14 year old mini poodle Rex here for years. The owner is the best! Beautiful and sparkling clean facility. They take their time with Rex because he is a senior and has anxiety. I can't say enough good thing about Barking Spa!

Been going to barking spa for many years. Christine, the owner is great. Just starting bringing my new shi tzu puppy Bo there, wouldn’t trust anyone else…

I can’t say enough good things about this place. First, the owner and staff are super nice. Secondly, the place is immaculate. Third, they accommodated my needs. My dog is an adopted, struggling dog that has chronic yeast. I opted for a quick grooming. Not everyone will do this for you, but this place was wonderful about it. My dog looks beautiful. I highly recommend this place.

We have been going to the Barking Spa for 4-5 years - at least 2x a year. Our lab cannot get out of the car fast enough when we pull into the parking lot. She comes out smelling great, nails cut just right and with a big smile on her face. Staff is friendly and welcoming and immediately show my girl attention - I never have to worry if she’s being taken care of. I recommend Barking Spa to anyone who is looking for a groomer for their pup.
