Barks & Recreation

This was by far the best grooming experience we have ever had. Definitely recommend them, our boy is super fluffy and almost 100 pounds, if they can handle his coat they can handle anyone’s. He’s a wooly husky malamute mix with long long hair and a densely packed under coat. Our boy came in super clean, had a great hair cut and has been strutting around showing off his fresh self all night. I can actually feel his body shape for the first time in a while. I wish i could give more stars.

I needed someone to come to my house & bathe my dog. Recovering from surgery I could not do it myself. He's a smelly larger dog. When I called Barks & Recreation they were very accommodating & pleasant. I'm not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly, but Sydney took great care of my hyper Weimaraner/ Pit mix. She cleaned him, got his nails nice & smooth, cleaned his ears and tried to dry him...he did not like the blow dryer! LOL. The van was nice and clean. I love the fact that they require up to date vaccine verification. Keeping all the fur babies safe! He is happy & (not overly perfumed at all) just smells clean. He's prancing around in his new tie & feeling like a king! 5 stars fo sho!

Me and my grandmother took her 1yr old dog King to this place and it was really good, he has some separation anxiety and a bad leg and they were able to take their time and work around it, even saying he’s just a shy dog. The workers were super friendly and care about the dogs well-being which is nice and comforting to know that he was in good hands. I’m glad my grandmother found a good place to take him to given his last groomer ghosted her and beforehand said she would charge more for him being a “bad dog to groom”. Again this place is amazing and I’m excited that he now has a good place to get his lil haircuts done.

I took my baby, Stella, here yesterday to get groomed. They squeezed me in last minute, which I really appreciated, especially since it was the week before Christmas and they were really busy. Stella is a little 11 pd Shihtzu. The place is neat and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The groomer wanted to ensure that I was happy and she made modifications until I was. They placed a cute bandana on my baby which is always a nice touch. Stella came back smelling SO good, like a real baby (a kind of baby powder smell....seriously, it was so good, the rest of the family couldn't stop smelling her. Hahaha). This place is pricey ($50 for my small dog), but I will take my dog here again at some point in the future and will recommend it to others. They also have boarding available.

I am so pleased with my grooming experience at Barks & recreation! Staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. Called Monday and was able to get an appointment Friday. Price’s are reasonable. Looking forward to taking advantage of their mobile grooming for our petrified pit rescue. Day care is a huge advantage of some of the great things offed. My furry families new go to spot! Thank you for an amazing staff and business.
