| - The time had come to take Sampson, our cockapoo puppy, to the groomers. His curly tri-colored hair was getting long and unruly, so I of course Yelp'ed a place nearby to take care of his grooming needs. Cue "Barking Dogs". This place had great reviews and for good reason!
I'm not sure how much other groomers cost, but they gave me the estimate of starting at $45 for our puppy (I guess the price is mainly based on breed and intensity of the service). Since it was his first time at the groomer, they warned us that they may not be able to complete a lot of services (mainly the haircut) since they need him to get used to the interactions. Lil Sampson must've done good because when we went to pick him up, they did everything to him, including adding a festive holiday bandana around his neck.
"Everything" included: wash, blow-dry, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and his anal glands expressed. That's definitely a full-service wash and all that for $45! To me that was very reasonable.
The staff at the store were very nice and the groomer herself made sure to groom Sampson exactly the way we wanted, from how much hair we wanted trimmed from his furry arms to his little head.
The great thing about this place is you can go there and wash your dog yourself. They also carry an array of treats for your canine friend.
I definitely recommend this place. I'm sure we'll be taking Sampson back when he is due.
P.S. they also have a stamp card for grooming services to entice you to come back again and again.
