Both our dogs were treated well and came back clean and happy. Isaac was great! We will definitely book again.
Clean, happy pups are always a win! 🐾 We’re glad Isaac took such great care of both of your dogs and that they came home feeling their best. Sounds like they’re already ready for their next spa day! ❤️
This was Reggae Jr. first grooming at 8 months old, so he was a little hesitant to get in the van because he saw his brother being given to a family friend. So…he thought Isaac was taking him away.😉 Isaac was so patient with Reggae, which worked out perfect. Now…Reggae is in his house and snoring so loud, we can hear him in the house. I guess it’s nothing like a good bath for dogs as well.😆 Isaac is fantastic and does awesome work. Really appreciate you and see you again soon! God bless!🙏🏽
Reggae Jr.’s first grooming sounds like quite the experience! 😂 We’re glad Isaac gave him the time and patience he needed to settle in and get comfortable. And hearing that he came home and slept so soundly afterward is too cute! 😆🐾 Thank you for trusting us with his first groom and for the kind words about Isaac. We’re looking forward to seeing you and Reggae Jr. again soon!💛
Barkbus is the best Dog Groomer I have ever used. Make sure you request Andrei if you’re in the Westside LA area.
Thank you for the amazing shoutout! 🐾 We’re so glad Andrei made your experience such a great one. It means a lot to know Barkbus has become your favorite grooming experience, and we can’t wait to see you and your pup again soon! 💙
My pets were long overdue and Isaac and Barkbus were fantastic. Booking was easy. My senior Pitbull was well taken care of. Definitely would recommend. The pics are of my fur babies that were taken by the groomer. Top tier.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled Isaac took such great care of your senior Pitbull and helped make the experience easy from booking to groom. Your fur babies looked absolutely adorable, and we can’t wait to see them again soon!
Amazing! They took such good care of Luna and were so thorough and kind. Will be using them again!
Thank you, Hathaway! We hope to see you and your pup again soon!
Dionna is very nice and helpful person, she did a great job with Milo
Thank you for your feedback! We're so happy Dionna made Milo's first private grooming experience a positive one. Building trust and helping pups feel comfortable is what we're all about. We'll be sure to share your sweet words with Dionna, and we can't wait to see you and Milo again!
Groomer was very kind. Dogs look great!
Thank you, David! We're glad you and your pup had a great experience with Barkbus! We hope to see you both next time!
Such a great experience! The groomer was friendly, calm, and patient with my rescue dog, which made me feel comfortable right away. I really appreciated the photo updates during grooming- it was so thoughtful. My dog came back looking great, smelling amazing, and so relaxed. We’ll definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled your rescue pup had such a positive, relaxing experience and that the photo updates helped you feel at ease. We can’t wait to welcome you both back for another spa day!
Our groomer Cesar was incredible. We have a senior, 14 year old, with really bad bath anxiety and newly discovered dryer anxiety. Cesar kept us informed and let us join to help ease her anxiety during the drying process. We’ve already selected him as our go to groomer and we’re so lucky he was so calm and gentle with her.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad Cesar made your senior pup feel safe and cared for with his calm, gentle approach. Keeping you informed and working together to ease her anxiety is exactly the kind of care we strive for. We're thrilled you've found your go-to groomer, and we can't wait to see you both again!
I didn’t even make an appointment because they quoted me $255 for a bath and hair cut for a 15lb dog. That’s absurd and I’m offended.
Hi Miki, we understand our pricing may feel higher than some options. It reflects the care, time, and convenience we provide, especially for pups who need a little extra love. If you ever have any questions, we’re always happy to help!
