Bark ‘N Bubbles

We have been long time customers of Bark N Bubbles. The staff is incredible. They are very accommodating and love animals. This business is both self service and full service. I have seen dogs of all shapes and sizes come for self washes. It looks like lots of people use the full groomer services.
We like to wash our own dogs because both of them do NOT enjoy baths. The tubs are open on both sides so there is ease of access to your dogs. They provide a large variety of shampoo and conditioners. The aprons are a nice touch even though our bigger dog will soak me overtime. They have a gentle electric dryer and lots of towels. Each bath area has treats, brushes and towels.
It always nice to come out and get a nice wash and not have to deal with that ‘fur’ mess in our tubs.

I love Bark n Bubbles! I originally found it 7 years ago when my sheltie was very sick and was soon to pass. No dog spa will take a dog in that condition. I wanted to give my baby her last bath — she loved being clean and made her happy. I brought her in and washed her there myself and one of the people there helped me some as needed. Since it was her last bath, they threw in a free blue berry facial.
I have since gotten a new baby — golden who loves to roll in mud. I bring her there often — and the rest of my family brings their dogs there now as well.
They offer a grooming service — professional groomer — who cut my baby’s hair for the first time — shaping it up a bit. She did a marvelous job!
And at Bark n Bubbles — I always end with buying a special cookie — a pretty puppy treat.

My pup and I have had poor luck with finding a groomer. Between horrible trim jobs, cuts on his head, and split nails, I was very close to giving up. I decided to give Bark N’ Bubbles a try, and I am so glad I did. For the first time, my puppy wasn’t desperately trying to escape when I came to pick him up. He was happy as can be, and he looked amazing. He has never been so soft and fluffy! I absolutely love this place, and we will continue to go here from now on! Thanks go out to the groomers here for taking such great care of my pup!

I bring my Yorkshire Terrier in to get groomed-​nails, hair, bath, the whole package. Ana does an excellent job with her and the staff here is super friendly!

Not at all impressed by the service or care for my dog. Frequently am told the appointment will only be 2 – 3 hours only to find out they booked more than one appointment with my groomer for the same time slot. This causes one dog to be rushed and the other to be late. Essentially no one wins except the business.

This was our first time here… They brought our bichon-​poodle out to us completely scalped! They cut him way too short! It is all uneven, some places longer than others and one place barely clipped at all and in most places he is almost completely bald! They cut his nails WAY too short, as they were bleeding. The groomer clearly didn’t take her time, and this cut is completely unacceptable! Especially after $ 70 for it! Completely over priced and overrated!

I wish I could give zero stars but since I can’t, I’ll elaborate here. I walked in one evening with my Siberian husky and asked for a quote. The receptionist at the time took a look at my dog and his thick coat, then asked what I was looking to do. I said I wanted a bath and brush and was interested in their basic package (I think it was $ 30). She then told me my husky would likely need extra brushing and that it would cost extra (I wasn’t surprised since my husky is usually pretty fuzzy as you can imagine). She quoted me $ 50. She also added that once the groomer started that she may need to do even more than that but that it was my choice on whether or not to proceed with extra brushing after the $ 50 mark. I asked her to have the groomer call me should he need more brushing to tell me how much more it would cost. We agreed to those terms and I made his appointment. Appointment day came and I went to go pick up my dog. I asked for my bill and she said it was $ 80!!! I was baffled! I told her it must have been a mistake because I was quoted $ 50 and I was told I would be called in the case he actually needed extra brushing. She wasn’t unsure what to do so she asked the owner to come speak to me. I was expecting the owner to be understanding and fulfill the quote I was given, but instead she was rude and kept repeating that my dog was «hard work». Now I do understand my dog was hard work. He’s 7 years old and has been groomed countless times. What I did not understand was how in the world as a business owner she would be ok with me paying for something I did not ask for. I specifically asked the receptionist MULTIPLE times to call me if he needed more brushing. I have never encountered a more unprofessional business owner. She clearly doesn’t have any idea what her employees are telling customers. The lack of communication between staff at bark and bubbles is evident as while she was looking at the computer there was nothing noted about my directions. On top of it she mentioned the «fine writing» states additional fees will be charged for dogs requiring «more work». Well that’s great, but if I want to pay $ 50 for a dog that maybe isn’t hair free but pretty close as per my budget allows, that’s my prerogative! In the end, she ended up refunding us $ 30, but it took my husband to go in there and have a discussion about her charging practices. She was not in the slightest sympathetic or apologizing about the inconvenience HER employees caused and even tried to guilt my husband by saying that by giving him a refund my husband was taking money from the groomer. That too was uncalled for. I’m sorry to the groomer who lost any money due to the poor management skills of bark and bubbles. If you want to have your dog groomed by a groomer who will charge you based on what they think is appropriate regardless of what you are quoted, then bark and bubbles is for you. I, however, will never go to bark and bubbles again and will continue to tell my friends to stay away. Good luck on your groomer search!

I have stopped here twice now to bathe my 5 month old puppy. Reading some of these reviews makes me wonder if we are talking about the same place. Perhaps it was because I was using a Groupon coupon but after showing me to the tub I would be using I had no further contact with the two girls that were working there. This 2^nd visit they were each bathing a dog and watched as I worked on my pup but not once did they offer any friendly advice on how to calm him down or make his experience a little less stressful. You are provided with two rather small towels which do not quite cut it… my pup freaks out over the dryer so this time I left with him still quite wet and there was no offer of extra towels that I could use. I will go back because the concept is great but at least now I know what to expect and it is not what some of these reviewers have expressed.

Jacoby and I LOVED Bark ‘N Bubbles. Everyone on the staff is amazing, and they would always greet Jacoby by name as soon as he walked in the door. We moved to Boston, MA last month, and we went in our final self wash (sniff) a few days before we left. They have a rewards program, where after so many self-​wash baths (I think 9 or 10), your next bath is free. So, Jacoby’s last bath with Bark ‘N Bubbles was on the house!
I highly recommend Bark ‘N Bubbles, and will miss everyone on the staff. If we are ever in the area again, & in need of a bath, we’ll be back :)

The concept of this place is good and it is pretty clean but my 3 star review is because they are pretty expensive for washing your dog yourself. And also because they now no longer allow you to wash 2 dogs with 2 people at the same time. We are paying full price for 2 dogs and my husband and I like to go together and wash them but even if the place is totally empty, we have to wait until one of us is done washing one to wash the other? Makes no sense, I guess we will have to walk in separate and pretend we don’t know each other? Or more then likely, go somewhere else.

Tried BnB for the first time today and I couldn’t be happier. The folks working there were very friendly and attentive and I had my dog’s nails cut and filed in 10 minutes.
For months I have been looking for a new grooming place. Used to go to Pet Supplies Plus until they stopped scheduling groomers on the weekends, evenings, or any other time that’s of use to people who work for a living!!!
If BnB sold kibble, I wouldn’t need to go anywhere else. The cost for nail cut and file was $ 20. A couple of bucks more than I was paying at PSP, but I honestly would have paid twice that for a good groomer.

Two words: BOGO Tuesdays!!! Buy one get one = 20 $ for two giant dogs (you wash). Great Deal!!!
Definitely worth it for big dogs instead of chasing them around the house and getting your bathroom dirty. No cleanup afterwards!

Our timid, extremely large dog had his first visit to a bathing facility this week. It was great not to have to strain our backs to bathe him, and my bathroom and drains don’t take a hit this way. (This review refers to self service.)
The tech advised us to use the gentle shampoo on his face and aloe on the rest of him (he has very dry skin), and to wash him twice. The towels, brushes, dryers, shampoo, etc. are all provided for your use when you go.
I thought that under $ 30 for a 105 pound dog was pretty good! Will definitely be back.

I have a puppy and I took her for her first clip at another local groomer and paid handsomely for the service. She didn’t look any different except for the face, which was not at all like the picture I showed them. I recently took my dog to bark and bubbles and had a completely different and positive experience. Lauren did an excellent job on my puppy and was very eager to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted and that I was pleased with the outcome. She asked if there was anything that I didn’t like about the clip that she could correct, but there was nothing she was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be taking my daughter back to Lauren at barking bubbles.

My dog has such a high level of anxiety when it comes to getting groomed. I called ahead for a nail-​trim and explained that she wasn’t the easiest «client.» They had no issue and told me to bring her in when I was ready.
When I got there, they took the time to let her sniff them and acclimate to the surroundings a little bit and went over exactly how they were going to approach the nail-​trimming and took her back.
Even though Ella was up to her usual tricks, they didn’t bat an eye and she came back to the front of the store with her nails looking great and looking less traumatized than when I’ve taken her to other places.
The place is adorable and even has a doggy scale in the front and lots of fun pet products. Prices are reasonable as well.
We will definitely be heading back!

This review is for the «you wash» service.
I’m so glad I found this place. I have a shiba inu and he is a shedder! This place is ideal for me because I only need to bathe my dog twice a year so I don’t even need to buy my own products. They have everything you need there from various brushes and shampoos to treats so you can calm your scared pup. The hose has good pressure and the shampoo left Dapper’s coat soft and fluffy. My favorite was the dryer, cool temperature and good air pressure to get even more fur off him. I wish I brought him here sooner since I was able to try out all the different brushes to see which ones work best on him. And there’s no clean up! The helpful employees take care of all that for you. Bathing shiba inus is hard work. Make it easier on yourself by coming here!

Price has risen over the years. The nail trim with dremmel is no longer $ 10 but $ 18 i think. Self service wash used to be $ 16 and now its $ 20++.
As much as I like coming here I have to look for a cheaper alternative.

Took our little yorkie here and she loved it and they did a good job.
Very clean facility with awesome products for sale.
Prices are reasonable and folks are very friendly and professional.
I am sure we will be back.
One thing that was interesting is our yorkie was doing alot of scooting, itching, and licking between her legs after the haircut.
We were paranoid of an infection but after a few days she was just fine.

This was a very good treasure find. The place is clean and cute. They gave us professional advice and they make customers believe that we’re in trustworthy hands, which we were! There’s a lot of Dog products to be purchased that they offer too that can’t be found in like Walmart or petsmart.
My pup is usually really shy to people but she was sniffing and wagging her tail when she first met Gunia for some reason Idk why? But Gunia cut my dogs hair and she was really professional. She had 8 Yeah of experience and even have 4 dogs of her own. Maxie was heavily matted– basically a carpet but Gunia was able to be careful with really minor injuries, like paper cut size. They even put complementary accessories when they were finished with her. I don’t even know how they but the bowtie things in her… magic?
well all in all I was very pleased. their prices Are pretty average and for only 6 bucks they cleaned her anal glands. That’s pretty good considering Banfield charges like 25 bucks.
On a side note, she looked soo different I could barely recognize her. from carpet to Dog haha

I like this place.
My dog is a timid dog. He doesn’t understand that he is a dog. I think he thinks he is a person. As a result, situations where he is around other dogs it stress him out a bit. He doesn’t urinate on the floor, thank god, but he more tries to escape. It breaks my heart. I love him. It’s not his fault that we really didn’t socialize him too much. My mom’s Yorkies even boss him around. Sigh. When we first arrived, another family washing their German Shepard got loose and scared my dog. As a result, I asked if I could stay with my dog to help alleviate any anxiety that he might have. Thankfully, the staff member didn’t take any issue with my request and allowed me to.
I booked a «We Wash» service for my Goldendoodle. The we wash service includes: Choice of Shampoo, Crème Rinse, Brush Out, Towel or Blow Drying, Pad Balm and Ear Cleaning
As other Unilocalers commented, I felt that the facility was extremely clean and the staff member I dealt with was compassionate.
What has limited the 5 star rating:
–This location is not open on Mondays
–Clients are not able to book appointments online
–The staff member skipped the pad balm and the ear cleaning too on my doggie. I only realized/​noticed this afterwards, and believe that it was an honest mistake.
