My appointment was at 1pm for a miniature poodle groom and cut. I picked up my dog at 4:45pm and no, they did not call me. I went in at 3:45 to see the status and I was told “oh we had a Great Pyrenees come in that took awhile.” I’m wondering why I had an appointment for my dog to sit in a kennel for 3 hours. I…

I highly recommend this groomer. I bring my 50-pound Goldendoodle here, and they always do a fantastic job. To be honest, I don't brush her nearly as often as I should, but they never complain and always handle her coat with patience. They are also incredibly accommodating with my schedule, even letting me drop her…

I took my dog Snuggles in there not too long ago and she came out with the worst haircut I have ever seen. None of the length was the same, they chopped up her face and we were not happy at all. The lady who helped us was also extremely rude and had no customer service which is insane working at a groomer. Hopefully you do better next time.

Abbie gets so excited when she hears Barker Shoppe. She loves being able to play all day instead of sitting at home alone. Its great that she gets groomed at a place she is used to going to every week.

Archie (golden doodle) & Goose (aussie doodle) have been coming to the Barker Shoppe for months. We are always super impressed with their haircuts & have clean they smell!! We take them every 4 weeks & alternate between a full groom & a face/feet/fanny appointment.

My dog can be a very fussy furball and growls a lot but he was well behaved and seemed to like it there. They did a great job at a reasonable price and he came home looking and smelling so good!! Bob and I will be back.

Context: I farmed animals for ten years. I know what animal compassion desensitization in animal-focused industries looks like. I personally still care about animals.
