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!

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…

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…

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 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,…

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!
