Grooming By Barstow

"My 14 yr old Staffy has not allowed me to clip his nails in 10 yrs and must be muzzled while I assist the people tending to him. Even people he has known (vets) have difficulty with this powerful and persnickety old dog. I was amazed when Dave, a total stranger now, went through all 4 paws without any growling or struggling. Took less than 3 minutes for Mr. Barstow to do his work with an ease I thought impossible with my dog. Dave is certainly the man ! Thank you so much!"

"Best place to go! Hands down!"

"I brought my 2 year old pure bred hyper as all hell cattle dog to Dave to be groomed. Rebel is not an easy dog to deal with at all. When I first got her I let her play in the forest and run around to get some puppy energy out. When she ran around a corner a woman thought she was a fox (she had a bright blue bandana on - still trying to figure that out), anyway, the woman kicked Rebel hard and ever since then new people make her nervous, she would never bite, she just doesnt have it in her, but she was be uncomfortable until the trust is built. When I brought her to Dave, he spent the time with her for 5-10 mins sitting at her level, giving her treats and just talking to her and she got comfortable. Dave told me to come back in about 2 hours, I left my girl in his trusting hands. I returned 2 hours later to a happy go lucky heeler who was having fun with the groomer! This means the world to me that my girl felt safe here. She can be a nervous dog until she trusts you and Dave was able to build a relationship with her so quick. Plus... she looked great, smelt great and was happy! I cant recommend Dave enough, he will take the time to make sure any nervous pups feel at home when they are with him. Thanks Dave! I will be contacting soon to drop off your favorite cow dog!"

"My cat looks ridiculous. Hair are uneven, spot on his belly are unshaved , you can clearly see the trimmer marks on his coat. Horrible job, I have to pay $76 elsewhere ( a professional grooming salon) to fix this guy mistakes. Do not bring your pet here. Just horrific"

"Barstow is wonderful!! I have an old Persian Cat that gets terribly matted -no matter what I do ! He comes home shaved-nails cut and, very happy !!"
