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…
Every staff member here shows such a high level of care and consideration with my anxious dog. I wholeheartedly trust the team at Bark and Suds with my pup! So happy I found them and the monthly membership in DC!
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.
My first time I came in the owners took time to chat with me. The work is great and the schedule is workable. My pup is always happy to be there! I very much recommend.
Exactly what I asked for. My Josephine looks fantastic and she came out lookin so happy!!!
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!
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…
This place is a scam. Unless your dog has a coat that needs to be cut often, don’t waste your money. My dog has a short coat so she doesn’t need to have her hair groomed. The one thing that I needed done monthly was to have her nails trimmed. Each time (I only went three times) they told me they had a hard time…
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…
Chloe entered BarkSuds looking like a rug and emerged like she's ready for the cover of Vogue, doggy edition. The trim draws admirers, but it's the professional staff that really steals the show. Chloe loves the special attention and caring touch plus their accommodating schedule made thewhole process a breeze.…
Amazing experience from start to finish! My pup loved her haircut and came back looking adorable. You can tell how much care and attention they put into the work. Highly recommend
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!
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!
Luna got the all over rover haircut (needed) and looks so precious after. Will definitely be our regular grooming spot in DC moving forward. The owners are so kind and professional and the groomer is very talented. We signed up for the monthly membership.
Had a very nice grooming experience. The Groomer and Owners are very professional, patient, understanding and hands on.
I can’t say enough good things about BarkSuds DC and their membership program. The membership perks make it incredibly convenient and cost-effective for regular visits. The facilities are always clean and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful. If you’re a dog owner in the area, the membership is…
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,…
I had a really great experience here! I took my dog, Pikachu, for grooming and was very happy with how everything turned out. The staff was super friendly especially Sandra she went an extra mile for us and made sure Pikachu is comfortable there. I’ll definitely be bringing Pikachu back here and would recommend this…
The owners are very kind and they all do an exceptional job!
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!
Always a good experience. Very friendly people and they do a good job.
They’re fantastic! Our pup loves them and always come out looking so clean and smelling so fresh. 10/10 would recommend!
We love it here! Excellent grooming, and excellent service!
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.
We’ve brought both of our small dogs here multiple times and only have good things to say! They do a great job each time and our furbabies come out refreshed and relaxed!
We’ve taken our fur baby, Cooper, to BarkStuds three times for grooming, and they’ve been wonderful every single visit. The shop is clean and welcoming, and the owner/staff are incredibly kind, professional, and patient. Cooper can be a little unsure sometimes, but they handle him so gently and make him feel…
Great service at BarkSuds! My pug came back so clean and her fur is shedding significantly less. Very nice and helpful staff too.
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.
I took my dog, Mr. Tinkles to Barksuds and couldn’t be happier with the experience. They treated my dog with love and patience - it really showed how comfortable my dog was. They took their time and didn’t rush. My dog came out looking like a stud and relaxed. Great team and facility is clean. Highly recommend them!!
This place was amazing! They groomed my dog quickly and she looks beautiful! And the price can't be beat. I'll be back!
My dogs are difficult and bark suds did an incredible job! Will def be back!!
