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…

My partner and I first came here in April to have our dog bathed and trimmed. At the appointment, we were asked to sign what was presented to us as a liability waiver, which didn’t seem unusual since many grooming businesses require one. We told the staff we wanted the “All Over Rover” service, and we were told,…

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.

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…

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!
