Bushwick Bark on Knickerbocker

"Warning for dog parents: My pup and I had a terrible experience at her last grooming appointment. Her vet trims her nails regularly with no problems. I also had taken her to Bushwick Bark once before and it seemed to go fine. This time though I could hear that she was in distress within minutes of the groomer bringing her into the back room. I waited to see if she would calm down but it got worse so I went back to see if I could calm her down. That was when I saw there was ANOTHER DOG back there in the grooming room, which is tiny and cramped. Seemed like the groomer’s pet. I was not informed or asked if it was ok there was another dog there. My dog is friendly but gets excited and sometimes stressed around unfamiliar dogs, particularly if she is on leash or otherwise restrained. I would NEVER have consented to letting her be put in restraints and handled by an unfamiliar person WITH ANOTHER DOG in that tiny room, and I am shocked that a “pet friendly” business like Bushwick Bark would think it was ok to do that. I will not be bringing her back. For some pet owners this may be the easiest or only grooming option, so I would just advise you to ask if there are another animals in the back room or insist on accompanying your pet during the visit."

"They did an amazing job grooming my dog Evie. I made an appointment for next month and will keep bringing her back to them. I recommend this place to all my friends."

"Although I purchased a few different items, I found everything I needed and more at Bushwick Bark. I must say, I was absolutely impressed by the cashier's/associates warm, friendly and attentive nature. She definitely helped me along the way, amongst others. Plus she even had so much patience to help me with my time there. She was great and recommended great items that I was looking for. I ended up buying a spray for my two felines that were scratching up my furniture, a catnip toy and 2 treats for my German sheperds. They were so eager to eat their treat, they smelled the treats as soon as I walked into the house. Bushwick Bark had a bit of everything needed for pets and they were even foster 2 of the cutest kittens ever. Definitely would recommend their services."

"They got my 155 lbs malamute in for a last minute grooming appointment and did not disappoint. This is easily the best quality grooming I've seen in Brooklyn so far with a very reasonable price."

"The staff at Bushwick Bark is awesome! Super friendly and helpful. I brought my puppy in to get groomed for the first time ever, and he came back to me fluffy, all trimmed up and looking more handsome than ever!"
