Barkberry Place

"I rarely ever do reviews but I felt the need to after our last visit. I have a mini poodle who has been to a few different groomers in his 2 years of life. So far Barkberry Place has gotten him as short as we like. Last Thursday he went for a groom. When I called to check on him before I made the 45 minute drive to pick him up during the awful storm we had. They informed me that there had been an incident with the clippers and that he got nicked. I appreciate that they told me when I called, when they called to tell me he was ready and when I picked him up. They showed me exactly where it was. Unfortunately since it wasn't small enough to heal on its own he had to go get stitches. But Barkberry was there calling and checking in on him and making sure he was okay and was going to be okay. They could have been like other places I've seen reviews for when a dog gets nicked and the owners aren't made aware. But it wasn't like that they even went as far as to reimburse us for the vet visit. After over a year of going this was the only incident we have ever had. And we will definitely still be coming to see them when he needs to be groomed."

"They care about the pets here. My dog has had anxiety issues at other groomers, to the point where I’ve been called. My dog never has an issue here and comes home beautiful and smelling amazing."

"Thank you Ashley and Barkberry for a great 1st experience! Very educational and professional with so much intentionality to make the haircut what we wanted! Will be back and highly recommend!!"

"I took my Maltese here for over a year, and loved it for the first little while, until the past handful of months. I would drop him off in the morning, and they would give me an estimate of 2-4 hours. I understand this is an estimate, but the last two times I took him, they didn’t even start on his haircut until he’d been there for four or more hours already. In the earlier days of taking him, they once finished his full groom (bath and haircut and nails) in 45 minutes. The very last time I brought him, I asked for the same haircut I ask for every single time I’ve taken him. The fluffier cut pictured is what I always ask for (and always got), versus what I got the last time. Even the last few fluffy cuts I got were messier, compared to what I was getting six months ago. When I complained about the shave my dog got, Lisa told me that they all thought he looked cuter than he ever has. I was not offered any sort of refund or reimbursement or anything like that. $70 for him to come out looking like an alpaca."

"Love love love this place! We’ve been there two to three times now and it’s always excellent. Excellent service excellent care excellent results! The ladies in there are always nice and wonderful. They take great care of our dog. Our dog always looks amazing! They always are sure to ask about grooming needs and not just assume it’s what you had the previous time! Love that they add little bows when you come pick your dog up! So cute! We’ll always come here!!!"
