petbar Boutique Arcadia at a glance

Customers frequently praise the facility's spaciousness, cleanliness, and staff friendliness, noting that groomers handle anxious or large dogs with patience and that self-wash stations offer convenient amenities. Recurring positive themes include professional grooming results and helpful communication during appointments. However, several low-star reviews highlight inconsistencies between advertised and actual closing times, rigid policies regarding late arrivals, and a lack of accountability when dogs are injured during service.

This place is really great! I've been once for full service grooming and Lauren did a fabulous job with my doodle.

Lauren does such a great job with Theo every time. He is a very shy boy but she understands him and knows to take things slowly. His perfect haircut afterwards is just a bonus. That you Lauren and PetBar!

I love how clean the place it. They had towels which I had forgotten which was very helpful. It’s very spacious for my medium sized German shepherd Husky and I.

This place is really great! I've been once for full service grooming and Lauren did a fabulous job with my doodle. I went yesterday to use their self-service dog wash station since they give you the first wash free. Even though it was self-service, Tiffany was super helpful and showed me how everything worked and could not have been nicer (and I had lots of questions). Really excellent customer service. I will definitely continue to utilize their services.

I love how clean the place it. They had towels which I had forgotten which was very helpful. It’s very spacious for my medium sized German shepherd Husky and I. I will say I did bring my own dog wash, I felt the dog wash there is very watered down and I like the see the bubbles on my dog but the condition made my baby feel super soft. They have a strong commercial blower which my dog didn’t like so they had a smaller blow dryer which she delt with. Cleaned my dogs ears for the first time and finished her off with some doggie perfume. I did leave a little mess but they were so kind about it all. I know some other places are probably cheaper but this place seems really nice and super close, probably will go again.

I took all three of my dogs to Pet Bar to be groomed, and we had such a great experience! They’re always a little nervous going to the groomer, so I especially appreciated being able to see them on the video camera when I came to pick them up. All three were snuggled together, sound asleep while the groomer worked on another dog. I loved knowing they were comfortable and relaxed instead of sitting in kennels. I even got to watch as the groomer put their leashes on to bring them out to me, and all three were jumping around, loving on her. That told me everything I needed to know—they clearly felt safe and well cared for! They came home incredibly soft, fluffy, and happy. Such a great experience for all three of them. We will definitely be back!

Love PetBar and the staff. Lauren does an amazing job on our 2 schnauzers! You can tell they love her which gives me peace of mind as well. We have been coming here for over a year and will continue to come see Lauren for a long time!
