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…
Great service! They treated my dog very well and she came out fluffy and clean.
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!
The store is spotlessly clean. Does not smell like other dog grooming paces in the DC area. The membership plan is great. The quality of service is top notch. Milo always smells good and clean. Rehan & Sandra are good people.
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.
Exactly what I asked for. My Josephine looks fantastic and she came out lookin so happy!!!
BarkSuds is great! Our Aussiedoodle, Squeegee, comes home looking and smelling great every time, but what really stands out is how genuinely caring and attentive the team is. The staff remembers Squeegee by name, works around our unpredictable schedule, and somehow makes grooming day feel like a special event…
Amazing service! My dogs get washed once a week. They always come out looking and smelling great. The membership at BarkSuds is a great deal. Owners are very friendly
I’ve had such a great experience with Barksuds. My dog Barkley always comes home looking amazing, smelling fresh, and clearly well taken care of. 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…
BarkSuds has been the perfect solution for keeping my pups clean and healthy! I love having the membership and being able to get them groomed as much as they need. My pups have the same groomer which allows them to build that relationship of trust. BarkSuds is the best!
BarkSuds is the best in DC!
My dog Al loves this place and his buddies there. Especially Sandra. He literally pulls me there on our walks. Being able to have a regularly bath for a flat fee is great. We try to go once a week and making appts online is super easy. This is him after his last visit
Barksuds Dupont Circle, DC, is a real find. It’s a welcoming, clean, and cheerful spa with a local neighborhood feel. Luffy is always happy to enter and greets the owners with excitement. And I love that I can drop him off, relax in a nearby cafe, and an hour later pick up a happy, shiny, well-clipped, bright-teeth,…
Our 12yr old pup loves going to Rehan and Sandra at Barksuds. They take exceptional care of him and he always comes back happy and smiling!
Lovely groomer! Friendly, personal service every time. My minpoo Murphy always leaves happy, I know he’s well taken care of! The monthly membership model is great, I can bring him in for a bath anytime and then add a trim or full cut whenever Murph is ready for one. 5/5 would recommend.
Extremely friendly, professional and accommodating staff! They did an excellent job taking care of my older golden retriever. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and we’ll definitely be returning!
I had such a wonderful experience with this groomer! They were gentle, patient, and truly cared about making my dog feel comfortable. The cut turned out absolutely perfect—clean, even, and exactly what I asked for. My pup came home looking adorable and smelling amazing! Will definitely be going back
BarkSuds exceeded my expectations. The location is convenient, the staff is knowledgeable and gentle, and my dog was very well cared for. The experience was smooth and stress-free. The facility is clean and welcoming, and it’s obvious the team loves what they do. Highly recommend!
So incredibly accommodating, nice and professional. They did a wonderful job grooming my pup who is a handful. I will let the before and after photos do all the talking.
My dogs are difficult and bark suds did an incredible job! Will def be back!!
