Dog grooming is expe size these days and we have a miniature poodle so it gets costly because he matts (even with brushing) if we wait too long. The full groom is consistently good including ears and nails!

Lorrie, the head groomer, was amazing. We have used her every time to get our dog groomed and it is always exceptional service, communication, and execution. We really appreciate all Central Bark and Lorrie does.

Absolutely fantastic facility and crew. Whoever takes the photos and puts them on Facebook deserves a raise, that was half the reason we kept bringing our dog back! And the staff was so nice and on top of everything, five stars over and over again!
