I don't review unless I feel like I need to warn others. DO NOT bring your dog here. I had a few hours to spare before work and wanted to get my small maltese/yorkie of 5 months bathed and cleaned up for the weekend. I called around 3pm and they made a huge deal saying they never take anyone this late and would be okay taking a last minute appointment at 3:30. They were near me and available so I took her. While on the phone I asked an estimated amount for the grooming and the girl said it would be $50 as long as my dog wasn't to much to handle and there was no matted hair. My had been groomed before and I had already been working on her getting used to scissors so I didn't think there would be a surge charge according to her comments. I get there and introduce my dog and she then tells me that they are going to charge me $65 without any real rhyme or reason- saying my dog wouldn't be used to them so she was going to be hectic- (So now they think they know my dog more then I do) Mind you the whole time the girl gave me the worst attitude because I was the last client and now she "was going to stay late" (her boss agreed to take the job which now means it doesn't matter she should take and do the same quality of job as if it were the first dog of the day). Once I pick up my dog I regret the moment I left her in their hands . My dogs hair is patchy, feels stubbley and her whiskers and eyebrows have been cut. Being that they are groomers they should know the type of cuts yorkies require. (Mind you the dog groomer said he had no problem with her) My dog has a very uneven cut and patches all over. I really dislike my dogs cut and am definitely never bringing her there again and I don't recommend you do either. read more

Awesome service!!! I brought my VERY difficult and strong Euro Dobie puppy to get her first nail trimming. When we tried a hundred times with no luck they were able to get it done in under ten minutes. The staff also gave a thorough explanation and advice for the future.This is definitely my new go-to spot for grooming! read more

I'm NEVER bringing my dogs back here again ! When I picked up my dogs the guy showed me that they cut him a little on his stomach he said they cleaned it and it should be fine . Fine whatever, I leave then I see that my dog keeps licking his back . I see under his fur 2 HUGE cuts ! I had to end up taking my dog to the vet! I ended up walking away with a 200 vet visit . Not only did they cut him once but 3 times ! And didn't even tell me about the other cuts on his back. My poor dog is in pain. I just can't believe this happened . DONT BRING YOUR PETS HERE!!!!!! read more

We have been bringing our huskies to Bark 'N Bathe for a couple years. We started with using the self grooming, then moved to professional grooming. They take their time. One of my huskies has sensory issues and does not like to be touched in certain areas. They are patient with her. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I have been taking my dogs here for a while now and I have noticed that the service has gotten worse and worse. I made an appointment to take my dogs in on Saturday and was quoted $105 for three dogs, which is what I usually pay since I bring my dogs often. An hour after I dropped off my dogs I got a phone call from a woman named June who proceeded to tell me that I had to pay more because it's Saturday. I told her that I have taken my dogs on Saturday before and that they have always given me the same price. This upset her and she changed her tone and said "we are in this business for the money and not to give free grooming!" She then proceeded to tell me that if I wanted my dogs groomed I would have to pay $45 per dog. I was in a crunch so I said ok. What really upset me was that the next day I noticed blood on my dogs pillow and crusty blood on his ear. Upon inspection I realized that they had actually cut off a piece of my dogs inner ear fold. It was a pretty bad cut and I know my dog cried when it happened. There's no way that you could cut a dog that way and not know. Still, they didn't say anything to me about it when I picked up my dogs. This shows me that they really don't care about the animals they are grooming and only care about the money. I understand mistakes happen but they need to notify the owners when they injure their dogs. I will never take my dogs there again!! read more

I only bring my dog to this one because it's convenient. I use the self-serve wash and am disappointed that the prices went up. They use to punch a card that kept track of how many washes I gave because on the tenth one, my dog would get a free bath, but now they "keep track" on a computer which they don't because every time I go, they ask for my number and can't find it in their system. Therefore, they don't keep track of how many washes I've done to earn a free one. I like how the shampoos are free to use and I never have to wait to use a tub. But I need to find another place that's close to where I live that is more professional. read more

I love taking my dogs here to bathe I do self bath they love it. They provide the brushes, shampoo, conditioner, stuff to clean the ears, towels, blow dryer, and apron. Been coming here for years read more

I didn't want to wash my dog on the same tub I wash my son so I am so happy to find out about this self dog-wash service. They provide everything you need. All you need to do is show up with your dog. The area is pretty clean too. I just wish they would extend their hours so I can come later afternoon. At any rate the staffs & owner are very friendly. They really try to be very accommodating to what you need. I purchased the 10-wash deal. But after only 2 washes, I lost my receipt and "stamp card" (which is nothing but the back of their business card). The owner said, "don't worry about it, just come whenever you want." And so I did. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! My 8mo pup is a very playful dog as most puppies should be, but since his last visit, a few days ago, he can't eat due to a sore jaw and he walks with whimpers because his legs are also sore, he's had a very traumatized demeanor since I picked him up, and he's afraid of being held and tries to stay hidden under the bed. I almost thought I got the wrong dog back. When I picked him up they told me he was "very wild, extremely wild, and that he even pooped and peed on them", maybe bc he was scared shitless!! It's clear to me that they are not professional here and do not know how to handle small active dogs (my pup is a Poodle Mini). To top things off I was told the price would be $40 and it changed to $60 when I picked him up, when I asked why the price went up they said because the dog was "extremely wild and hard to handle" so basically expect an injured dog and a fee for their lack of professionalism and experience, oh but they did offer $5 off if I paid cash -__- I have an older dog that I had been bringing here since he was a pup and I have definitely noticed a downward spiral at this place over the years, but this really tops it NEVER COMING BACK, except to ask to see the credential of their groomers, bc Im taking my pup to the vet and then taking them the bill. I will be sure to do everything in my power to discourage people from coming to the hellhole. read more

My Oliver comes here since the day one (2012) I bring him home from Downey animal shelter. We both love there and they treat Oliver so nice and well. When I drop him off to get a nice hair cut, I am not too worry because I know he is on good hands. Never disappointed! I moved to South Bay Area years ago and tried some local groomers couple times and never like the cut they did...and now I rather drive 30miles one way to here and get my boy that nice cut he loves! Attached photos for attention. read more

Today was my first time trying this place and I love it. Made it so easy to bathe and dry my dogs. The service was wonderful both ladies where very nice and very helpful. The water did change from hot to cold but it was not a big deal my dogs are not picky didn't affect them at all. I think whomever complained about that made too much of a big deal. Or maybe my dogs are much tougher. This really made bathing my ginormous St. Bernard easy. read more

I love this place my dog comes back clean and smells nice she has NEVER GOTTEN HURT from them

Walked in and the place seemed nice enough. No one was there except someone in an office. They didn't bother to greet me or come out and tell me the prices/answer my questions. Found a sign that said $30 for large dogs. That's outrageous for self service IMO. I walked out and the person in the office just stared at me through the window never having uttered a word. read more

I have trusted these team for over 10 years. Always took my little dog Poochie from when she was 10 to her 20 years old. I trusted no one else to care for her. They have always been gentle with her and their staff is the best I ever encountered, truly caring for my little girl. It's crazy to see any negative comments because they are always accommodating and caring. Thank you!!! read more

There prices for the self dog wash is CRAZY !!! I have a sheltie ...for people who don't know shelties have a lot of hair but the are no bigger than a beagle..they are asking for 30 bucks for the bath and it only can be 45 minutes? Do you know how long it takes to bathe a sheltie?? I am a groomer and they are groomers to get all the soap out of a double coat like his will take some time! Go to unleashed by Petco you can stay as long as you need !! Doesn't matter how big or "long" hair dog you have and it's only 10 bucks! read more

Gave one star only because I can't do zero. Been going here for two years. Last two times my dog was clearly drugged and sick for several days. Spoke to them and got the run around. Will never go back. Be warned read more

WOW! First and last time here. We walked in through the back door and came across an older lady cleaning. We told her we were there for self serve, she told us to go to the front. The lady in the front then leads us to the tubs and then proceeds to go to the back room where the First Lady was - she SLAMS the door and starts screaming. There was a full blown out argument about why one isn't doing her job in the back along with what I think was stuff thrown at walls or each other perhaps? Lol. The older lady comes to the tub the shampoo was already there but at this point I feel too uncomfortable to ask for the conditioner and facial shampoo that was missing - I just want to bathe my dog and get out. She asks if we want the conditioner and facial shampoo, I say "no this is okay". She says "are you sure because I'm going to leave and I'm not going to come back. I can't stand here. I have things to do". I never asked her for help to begin with. I was uncomfortable with her mere presence. She was even more rude to the lady in station next to us. The water was cold. That's an issue on its own. She asked us to use only one pump of shampoo - don't give me a whole bottle of shampoo if you don't want me to use it. There's no option to buy extra shampoo so how am I supposed to bathe my dog? It's time to check out so we head to the register. One of them is making us a punch card while calling a customer and the other is scrambling with the appointment book while also making a punch card. They then get into another argument about who is making the punch card and how to stamp it. They ended up not stamping the punch card and handing it to us while making rude hand gestures to lead us out. They basically kicked us out. I would not for a second leave my dog under their care if they are that disrespectful to each other God forbid my dog do something to get them upset - I can only imagine the consequences. read more

Review based on: me walking in randomly to review prices and to see self serve dog wash facility. I am not from area and my dog is not with me. Upon entering two ladies stood at counter chit chatting about something. I politely asked for their attention and asked about prices. They soon continued to talk as if I didn't ask a question and as if I wasn't there. Once they noticed me, they seemed annoyed and vaguely answered any questions I had.. A potential client. Received the worst customer service. read more

Never again. We have been taking our three dogs there for months to be groomed. This time two of the dogs came home with fur cut way too short and they have abrasions on their belly. They are itchy and miserable. I am so upset. UPDATE: we had to take one of our dogs to the vet because of a horrible cough and wheezing. Turns out she has bronchitis and per the vet, more than likely picked up at the groomers. The vet also had to express her anal glands WHICH WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE WE PAID FOR AT THE GROOMERS. The vet said to beware of any groomer who does not ask for proof of vaccination. This business posts that there must be proof but they have never asked for it. read more

I like this place, it's easy always find a station and the staff is friendly. It costs $10 only for my dog and you get everything, shampoo, ear cleaning solution, towels etc. what else do you want? Yes, sometimes water doesn't warm up right away but it's HOT outside, the ocean water isn't warm either and he loves it! read more

I take my Punky here to get her beauty on, they do such a great job. She always looks amazing every time I pick her up and she Smells so nice. The groomer cut her hair so she looks like a little teddy bear , Punky is 4 pounds and is a Yorkie. read more

My dog seems to like it here. It is easy to get an appointment, even on a weekend, usually. My dog is always in a hurry to get in and is happy when we pick him up. On one occasion they left some cotton in his ear and I noticed because he kept shaking his head. I called to let them know and they did not seem overly concerned. I know people can make mistakes, but I would have liked them to show a bit more concern. We've been back a number of times since then. The staff is always courteous and friendly toward me... but I always check my dog's ears for cotton when I pick him up. read more

I am writing this review because i had a great experience at Bark N Bathe, my dog is well behaved which makes trimming his nails 100 times easier. June and David were very helpful and courteous and i will continue to keep going back in the future, as a matter of fact i gotta come back to take advantage of the self service dog bath. I understand however that all though my dog is obedient, there are plenty of dogs who lack the proper discipline to be in an environment like a groomers or a pet spa. Pet groomers have a pretty difficult job, Kudos to this business. read more

This was the first time taking my dog here and my last! My husband and I just moved to Whittier and we were very excited to find a dog groomers that was walking distance from us. When the lady called to tell me my dog was ready to be picked up, she said he was ready and hung up on me. When we got there, she asked if I knew my dog bites? I told her no, and she laughed at me. She was very rude and condescending, and made me feel very uncomfortable. I've taken my dog to the groomers before and never had a complaint about biting. I was explaining to her that I didn't know, and she just laughed, I felt like she was insinuating that I was lying. I wanted to apologized for my dog, but she was so rude. I think she should have handled it in a more professional way. read more

We usually bring our dogs here to get groomed; they do a good job. I have never had an issue with them and we've been coming here for years.
