If I could give Bark Slope ten stars I would- So here’s the other five !!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!My normal groomer cancelled our appt very last minute and my dog needed a groom for a special event. I had no idea where to bring him on such short notice.BARK SLOPE SAVED THE DAY!!!!!!They were able to squeeze me in very short notice, (the next morning) and WINTER did an amazing job grooming my pup and getting his purple Mohawk just right. He looks photo shoot ready! She not only did the best job he’s ever had with a groom, when she returned him to me, he was even a friendlier dog than he was when I dropped him off!!!!!!! 😂My dog, who doesn’t allow me to pick him up, jumped right into my arms!!!! And he was happy!!!!I’m so thankful to you WINTER. You’re an amazing groomer. So professional and polite and courteous and understanding.My dog also has epilepsy and knowing he was being groomed by a former vet tech, really set me at ease.Winter will now be Neville’s Official groomer. I won’t go anywhere else. We went out for ice cream afterwards and he’s now passed out from such an exciting day.(This place is worth every single penny!!!!! Trust me guys)

We love Bark Slope, both the walking and the grooming, for our 50 lb goldendoodle. He loves his walkers, and we love when we combine a walk and a groom for the most convenient way to maintain a clean, fluffy, happy dog. The walk report card photos make my day, and Archie practically drags us to the shop/salon whenever he realizes he’s heading there.

The staff at Bark Slope has been really great with my anxious dog for the past 9 years. Love their new 5th Avenue location.

I've been visiting Bark Slope every 3 weeks for my cat. She used to be so anxious that the only way to groom her was at the vet. However, the workers at Bark Slope take good care of her and she is calm and relaxed with them! They are gentle when they apply the Soft Claws and are the only ones she feels comfortable having brush out her shedding fur.All the groomers who have seen my cat for her appointments have also gotten to know her. They take the time to talk to my partner and I. They even give us updates after each appointment to let us know how our cat did/what to look out for. They actually care about their clients. We can truly say that Bark Slope Salon employees are the best of the bunch!

The customer service was amazing the moment we walked in the door! Wynter walked us through the process and updated us at each stage. She even gave Oliver a little bowtie!! Thanks so much for the great service and extra care!

Used to love bringing my dog here for a quick nail trim. However, there’s a new policy where whomever is working the front desk trims nails. We did not know that and waited 25 minutes (when it’s usually a 5-10 minute process) and it was clear the girl had NO IDEA what she was doing: asking for help multiple times, pulling the same paw to trim over and over and OVER. Will not be returning. For the price I could learn to do it myself instead of paying someone to wing it on the job and my pet’s expense.

I am a big fan of the team over at Bark Slope. I have a very shy and reserved pup, and not only do they make her look great but she comes out waging her tail every time. Can’t recommend them enough.

The groomers at Bark Slope Salon are so great!! They took my beagle for a nail trim as a walk-in. He is normally very wiggly but, they trimmed his nails in under 5 minutes with no issues. The staff was wonderful and my dog was well taken care of. I highly recommend bringing your dog here for grooming services!

I brought my dog to Bark Slope and the staff were all friendly and professional. My dog can be a little jumpy around new people, but they did such a good job of keeping her calm while they did an A+++ grooming job. I’m definitely coming back!

NEVER. AGAIN.tl;dr Bark Slope locked our senior dog (who has anxiety and a heart murmur) in a cage for 2 hours because the groomer couldn’t figure out how to finish her prior two appointments on time. Don’t commit us to a 3pm grooming appointment if you aren’t going to see our dog until 5pm.On Saturday we booked a grooming appointment at Bark Slope for the upcoming Monday at 3pm for our small, 14 lbs, 15-year-old Maltese Shih Tzu. We asked for whoever would handle our senior pup with the most gentle care, and Wynter accepted the job.We arrived at 2:30pm because we wanted to respect the groomer’s schedule and not be late. They said we could come back at 3pm; so we took a stroll around Park Slope, came back right at 3pm, and brought our guy to the back to get his hair done. We’d been here 3 occasions before: once for our little guy and twice for our little girl, and each appointment took about 1.5 to 2 hours max.Now usually with our pup being his size, age, and anxiety-ridden with a heart murmur, we really appreciated Bark Slope being able to complete the job within a 2 hour time frame. But today, 5pm rolled around and I hadn’t heard a word from the groomers. As we were in the Brooklyn area, we decided to swing by.This is when we found out Wynter had two clients before our little guy and she was “a little behind.” She apparently pushed our guy to the back of her list. All she had done was bathed him and then pushed him INTO A CRATE for 2 hours while she tended to her other concerns. My senior dog who has anxiety and a heart murmur was locked inside a cage.Wynter had the audacity to give herself the expertise of working at a vet's office before and say he was fine and had no anxiety at all being in the kennel. This has been our dog for the past 15 years, we KNOW FOR FACT he does not do well in a kennel. He was frantically panting, eyes bulging, wheezing and whimpering, his heart noticeably pounding outside his chest. She said he could be groomed by the day’s end, by 7:30pm. SHE HADN’T EVEN STARTED TO TRIM HIM AND IT WAS 5PM; OUR APPOINTMENT WAS AT 3PM. All she did was give him a bath and brush. We said he’s been through enough and that we just wanted to bring him home.If you know that your responsibilities before 3pm could carry over, don’t book our appointment for 3pm.If you know you probably wouldn’t start grooming our dog until after 5pm, don’t ask us to come before 5pm.They handed us our little guy without his collar, harness, and leash. As they collected our belongings and returned it to us, they said, “you still need to pay for the bath.” We’d already been brought beyond boiling point and we just wanted to bring our boy home so we could all decompress. They charged me a $75 price tag for a bath. I was livid, but to be fair it was not the receptionist/cashier’s fault.Wynter: you treated us with utter disrespect, and more especially our dog without kindness, without compassion. Care and consideration are paramount qualities every professional groomer should possess, and today you certainly did not exercise either.Bark Slope: you've broken our trust in your team and your services. No dog and their owner deserves to be mistreated in this way.

My husband brought our pup here after hearing about this place, but we were Not too pleased with how the groom came out. Our groomer was Gab. Just expected a bit of a better job. Customer service was ok.

My mini poodle Bowie is a “regular” and we book out far in advance to be sure we can get him in because they’re fab. Appreciate the care they provide. Sad they moved a little further from us but quality remains top notch! Trust them with your pup! I have for 3 years with this pup and even several years back with my old cranky Boston terrier. Nice to be back!

Can’t say enough good things about Bark Slope.I have a toy schnauzer with a complex cut. She comes out looking like she was at a photo shoot. I get SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on her cut. My dog actually enjoys being there (at 6 months old!) and gives the staff kisses.The cut is so good that even 8 weeks later she’s still getting compliments! I will not take her anywhere else.

Sad to sad that I brought my very active puppy with no health issues to bark slope salon, recommended by a dog walker!!however I was so excited to have my lil boy groomed,unfortunately my puppy was returned in a trance just staring into the air smh he doesn’t bark anymore at all!!!he walks really slow …I’ve been going to the vet eversince. multiple vet bills !! Every time I pick him up he screech really loudly as if it’s hurting to this day ,,,he’s not eating as often I have to feed him water through a medicine syringe most times just to have him drink water this saddens me to the core!!!!! I reached out to bark slope numerous times I was told he didn’t have a bad report from the groomer and to provide paperwork from the vet for which he is diagnosed..I’ve been so stressed out I just don’t know what to do

When I say that my dog is an absolute drama queen, I mean it. I've taken her to different groomers and some can handle her sass, while others can't. I brought her to Bark Slope once to get her nails done and the staff was so welcoming.The groomer loves my dog and doesn't make me feel bad about her monthly nail trims. We've been back several times since our initial visit and I'll be a long-term customer.My only request was that there was an easier scheduling tool. Right now, I call or email them to book an appointment.

Very difficult to make appointment. Tried to multiple times to book an appointment but no one ever got back.Edit: they got back to me after this review. They fixed their contact page, and I was able to make an appointment, and my dog got a nice groom.

My fiance & I just moved in the neighborhood and were looking for a place to groom our dog. After doing some research on the web, we decided to take her to the Bark Slope Salon. We were very pleased with the work Abby did. The staff is really nice and professional. We will surely bring Alice back here for her next grooming and we definitely recommend this place. ☺️

My dog looks scary, but he's a huge marshmallow. He's easy to groom and tolerates things being done to him. For that reason, Bark Slope charged me an extremely fair rate. He came back shiny and soft and he's STILL shiny and soft after a few weeks. He gets very "doggy" quite quickly. Last place I brought him to charged me on the higher end of his breed even though they said he was great and that he's smaller than your average male rottie. He also felt dirty again after a week. Bark Slope is now out go-to place!

They are amazing we’ve been taking our cat (pictured above) to this salon for her grooming needs for about 3 years now and we have no complaints. They treat her like royalty and are very professional friendly and sweet. I can’t say enough nice things about them!

By far the BEST dogwalkers in all of NYC! They took care of my Baci for all of my years in Park Slope. They are caring, thoughtful, trustworthy and take the time to train and introduce all new walkers with your pets and pet parents. I never ever worried about the safety or care of my fur baby. I not only used them for multiple walks every week day, I also used them for grooming and overnight stays. They are incredible people and I am so so sad to not be living close by and be able to use them. Highly recommend!!

I found this place by accident over a year ago and send my little pittie mix every couple months specifically for nails and gland expression. That’s all included in the bath plus the ear cleaning so it’s a great bang for your buck (IMO). My little 55lber has always been a little iffy with getting his nails trimmed and can get a little nervous around being handled a certain way after a bad vet visit that left him with some trauma. Bark Slope is always super patient with him and even help with giving him some treats in the lobby for more positive associations. I cannot recommend this place enough.

The staff is so kind! I've been giving our dog his haircuts at home for the first two years we had him and this was his first professional cut. He's a big goldendoodle so it was quite a task, but the team did such a wonderful job with him and seemed to really enjoy their time together. The cut was exactly what we were looking for and everyone couldn't have been nicer.

I ended up loving what they did to my dog but it wasn't at first what I asked for. So this is a space that can make creative decisions that conflict with what you asked. But then I gave it a week and my pup looks so good. He scruff grew back, he is clean where its essential, and they kept his Mohawk (so they will work with your main demands...). I'll be going back here because the service was good, they were honest about how he was, and there is talent in the staff.
