We’ve been going to BarkSuds and honestly love it! Rehan is super nice, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs. Our pup always comes out looking and smelling great. The Bath Spaw membership is such a great idea because dogs should be getting regular baths, and this makes it so easy to stay on top of…
Greta service and friendly staff! They do a great job and my dog always comes back looking great and definitely having enjoyed his time there!

Excellent business model for those who understand the benefit of grooming their dogs regularly. We love it and Teddy loves the place. Rehan & Sandra love dogs and it is clear to see that the dogs love them.
Incredible staff! My dog can be pretty anxious, but they treated her so well! We will definitely be coming back with the membership, which is a great deal!

The staff remembers Squeegee by name, works around our unpredictable schedule, and somehow makes grooming day feel like a special event…

The staff is friendly, patient, and genuinely cares about the dogs, which gives me a lot of peace of mind every visit. The membership is definitely worth it because it…
Really great experience, super communicative and took Greg care of my pup! Pup is so clean and smells great, I signed up for the monthly membership!
