Very nice and friendly my Frida was feeling so happy and welcomed good price also totally recommend it keep up the amazing job
I just took my dog here for the first time, and I was so happy and impressed with not only the quality of his groom but also the customer service. My dog gets very scared and irritated at the groomer, and when I picked him up he was much more calm than when I’ve picked him up from previous groomers. Highly recommend, I will be coming back here for sure!!
I have a very anxious dog. She doesn’t like most people. But she loves Nina. And the whole staff does great at accommodating her needs. We are very grateful.
The staff were nice to my pup and they did a good job with his nails! I was a little surprised when I saw the $20 total since their website has lower prices listed for the walk in nail trims, but maybe their website just hasn't been updated in a while. I still think the price was fine, and it was convenient.
We've been taking our dogs here for grooming for going on twelve years. They do good work and out dogs have always loved the experience.
I had gone to Chow Hound because I just couldn't get my great pyrenees mutt dog to let me cut his dewclaws. They tried for a while but let me know they just couldn't get him still enough to cut his nails. Knowing the claws were getting too long, I took him here when I saw reviews stating they can handle more…

They tried for a while but let me know they just couldn't get him still enough to cut his nails. Knowing the claws were getting too long, I took him here when I saw reviews stating they can handle more difficult animals. Those reviews were correct. Within 5 minutes of walking in, 2 ladies had my dog's nails all trimmed, held on tight when he tried to squirm away, stayed exceptionally calm, and it was worth every bit of the $20. They handled him like the pros they are, and I'm so grateful my pup isn't dealing with pad pressure anymore. Thank you wonderful team at North Bark, you saved my day!
Absolutely love taking my dogs here for nail trims! It it super convenient that I can go any time as a walk in and they cut them quick and I'm out the door. Everyone is always so friendly and has never hurt my dogs. This is such a stress free option compared to the struggles I go through at home trying to do it myself and possibly cutting too far myself.
Outstanding service. Professional efficient and kind. Bright clean office.
Barry did so well. His first social experience with other dogs. Highly recommend NorthBark for any grooming or boarding needs. Great prices & great staff. Especially Erin 😃
Love everything about North Bark! There service and care for my pet is fantastic! Never had a bad experience! Always sweet and kind.
