! My dog loves Bark Street Groomers. From the very first visit, after trying other Charlotte groomers, he was a happy boy and looked great. He's not so excited about being bathed, but once in the door he happily looks for both dog and people friends and seems to forget about the bath to come. This is a small business and the two groomers know your dog and treat him like a friend. The groomers are excellent at following your directions and help out with itchy skin. Everytime he emerges a very clean, good looking happy boy. read more

Brought my Newfoundland here for a groom last week. Even for a Newfie, my bear dog is A BIG dog! I know he is a LOT of work to groom since his breed has a double coat which includes tons of undercoat, especially in Spring. Also, because I have had a difficult time finding a groomer who has experience grooming a Newfie, it's been a while since he was fully groomed. With all of that, I decided to give Bark Street a try and I am so happy I did. They did an AMAZING job!!!! This is the first time EVER (and he is 3 1/2) that anyone has been able to get out all of his undercoat. His top coat is shiny and flowy and he is much more comfortable. He looks great and smells great! Go visit Bark Street if you are looking for an awesome groomer!!!! read more

They put a hole in my dog. While in the care of Bark Street my Golden Doddle was cut , stabbed or bitten by something; needing two staples, pain med, antibiotics and a neck cone. The owner has not reached out to me and has made no comment at all. It's been three days. No apology. A $238 vet bill. And a sad, sick dog. read more

Our dog had a great time and he looked AMAZING!

They were so professional and thorough with their grooming! They incorporated all of our requests into the groom. We will definitely be returning! read more

I returned to using Bark Street after moving back from the Davidson area. I found Bark Street several years ago and would bring my first dog in for grooming and bathing. I now have a shih tzu who needs frequent trims, especially around the face. When I call they are always so accommodating and in most cases I'm able to bring her in the same day. During the holidays they even extended hours so I was able to have my dog nice and clean and presentable before Christmas. I am always very pleased with with quality of service and kindness from all staff members, the price is reasonable too! read more

This is the second time I've taken my Yorki to Bark Street. Upon picking him up, the groomer informed me that his ear got slightly cut because he jolted his head. She put liquid bandaid on it and claimed everything was fine. Now a few weeks later the bandaid is worn off, and I'm noticing that my baby is missing a piece of his ear! This is not a slight cut. Of the 10 years of grooming my pup, no one has ever cut his ear, despite a head jolt! Obviously, I will NEVER return here! read more

They always do a great job with my medium Goldendoodle and she comes back looking great (and exactly what I ask for!) they take their time with her. I just wish they would clean/pluck her ears but not sure they offer that? They did cut her belly one time but not sure if I can blame the groomer or my dog :( wish they had told me it happened when I picked her too. read more

I have been looking for a place nearby for my dog's grooming needs, which basically is having his nails trimmed. Easy to make an appointment online. The staff was nice and took care of him. The place is off Park Road begins another building. In process of being renovated but looks nice. read more

I have been taking my dogs here for years and each time we have been so satisfied with the work that they do here! The way they treat our dogs with the upmost respect and care is remarkable. I have referred several other dogs to go here as well and they also had nothing but great things to say! I recommend this grooming service to anyone in the area. Thank you so much for what you do, Barkstreet! We love this spa! read more

Bark Street Dog Spa - Thank you so much Amanda and April for always taking such good care of my babies! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

After a place I went to in Kansas City CUT A PIECE OF MY YORKIE'S EAR OFF, I've been really careful about choosing a groomer. Nancy, the owner is a sweet woman who uses natural products, sells natural foods/bones and doesn't overcharge. Grooming places always charge by the dog, not taking into account it's size or breed. For a full wash, dry, cut, nail clipping, and gland expressing, I've paid $50 even $60 at some groomers, which is ridiculous. MY DOG IS 5 POUNDS WHY DOES IT COST THE SAME AS A GREAT DANE? Nancy gets this. For about 1/3rd less, Nancy does it all, and my york isn't traumatized at the end. My weenie dog is 11 pounds and just comes along for the moral support, so he gets washes and expressed and socializes with the other dogs. Nice homey feel, great prices, friendly people. Nancy is also flexible with her schedule and always accommodates last minute groomings. PS: Grooming a yorkie is hard. Can't cut the face too short, or he/she will look like a rodent. Nancy does a great job keeping him looking teddy-bearish! read more

My dog lily has been going to bark street since she was 4 months old and my baby comes out looking great. They always make sure she doesn't stress and her cut is always as requested. Nancy and Amanda have both groomed lily and they both do awesome. read more

I went here today thanks to the suggestion by Brian F. after asking for places that offer do-it-yourself dog washing. I've been looking for a place that I can wash my dog and this was the perfect place. They offer shampoos, conditions, doggie cologne, towels and dryers that look like car vacuums. We were in and out within 20 minutes and my Linky was no longer stinky! I also left for a new found respect for dog groomers b/c my pup didn't want to cooperate with me at all. They offer regular grooming as well and when I asked what pricing was for my small dog, I was astounded at how cheap they are compared to other places in Charlotte I've been to--about $10-$15 less. They explained that you can drop your dog off and they let them play with the other dogs for a bit then groom then so it's not a quick process but nothing that takes the entire day either. This will definitely be my next stop when I need to de-stink my dog or get him groomed! A little obscure location north of the Park and Woodlawn intersection, they are behind a dry cleaners and have a parking in the rear sign on the side of the building. Parking can be a bit tight. read more

I was very disappointed taking my dog for service here. I have gone a few times last year and the groomer they used to have left and now they have a very rude groomer who seems entitled to treating customers and their dogs as she wishes. News flash? There are plenty of great groomers in Charlotte with much better service and worth looking for after my past experience. I have a miniature schnauzer (12 pounds) who in the past I've paid $70 including tip to get him groomed. This last time I asked for the same service I always have... that they trim his hair to let it grow out. For starters the groomer was running late to the appt..which I made no fuss and understand things happen, on top of that they raised his price to $85 (not including tip) that's a $25 increase considering I would leave a $10 tip. When speaking to the groomer she said that the price can fluctuate depending on the groomer and time spent. I find this to be extremely unprofessional and after some research this is the only place I've heard of that will increase their price to whatever amount they wish. It's extremely disappointing on top of the fact my dog came home with burns and scratches as well. TERRIBLE service go to a professional who values their customers and will treat your furr baby with more care. read more

Bark Street is fantastic! I must admit, being new to Charlotte and only wanting the best for my little Yorkie, I was a little skeptical about this place. it does look a little sketchy from the outside, lol. But it truly is great and Nancy knows her stuff. For the first time in my dogs 4 years of life he wasnt butchered or shaved. Nancy did an excellent job actually giving him a "Yorkie" cut. Like other reviewers say, the dogs also get to play during the day, while they get their cuts, which is awesome. I only gave 4 stars, because a few days later my pup was dragging his bum on the floor and I had to take him to the vet to get his anal glands expressed--which was something I thought they did when you have them groomed. Next time, Ill make sure to ask for it. read more

I waited 8 hours for to pick up my dog! The haircut was well done but she had several nicks on her skin from the razor. Once I brought her home she was extremely anxious and upset. Would not recommend if you don't want to wait all day long! read more

I love Amanda and April at Bark street!! They take such good care of my pup Tucker and go above and beyond to make sure he is loved, safe, and cared for! He comes home with such a good cut! I love this place, and the people who work here love dogs and do everything to make sure your experience is great!!! read more

I recently brought my two dogs here and I was nervous at first because they never experienced a dog spa but I may say this was the BEST experience I ever had. The staff was so sweet and caring towards me and my pups. I highly recommend them for any pet grooming needs. Me and my pups definitely left as happy campers. read more

I was visiting from out of town. They took my walk-in and took great care of my bully! He was nice and clean and well groomed! It's an old building, behind another building from the street. The owner was great and asked questions to get to know my guy before taking him back! Great prices too! read more

Bark Street always does an amazing job with my shitzu and are reasonably priced! They are the only ones i have been able to trust to do a good job with my dogs hair. Everyone else was unable to cut around her face. Their customer service is also great! They always try to work with my schedule. read more

Bark Street recently put out one of those local coupons and apparently they got overwhelmed. My husband called to schedule an appointment for our dogs and the woman literally told him she had time to fit in full paying customers, but no time for the coupon customers. The next weekend when we finally did get an appointment, the woman was checking us in and mid-check in asked us to move aside and wait while she checked in her full paying customer. Needless to say, I will never be a full paying customer here. read more

AWFUL!!!!!! My dog got hit!!!! Do not take your dog here!!!!!!!!! I have a 3 pund maltese who was already a little timid. I told the lady that before even scheduling. After 4 hours of my dog being there (she was alone) I call her and she was angry saying that my dog was flinching and was making it hard to groom. I finally pick my dog up and the lady was clearly flustered and feeling bad for something. Sadie is now terrified of a brush coming close to her face and flinches...one bad experience can ruin your dogs trust and it's not worth it!!! read more

I love taking my bichon frise to this groomer. He thinks it's a play date for him and the other dogs there! I like how they keep the well behaved dogs out of the cages, so they can play and run around freely all day. My dog hates cages, so for him this is ideal. His cuts are always well done and he comes back to me looking like he is ready to be in a dog show. I get compliments all the time on how nice he looks. read more

I was a little hesitant about this place when i pulled up, but i have to say So far, this is my favorite place in Charlotte to take my Aussie. They welcomed him last minute on a Saturday and they were so nice when we got there. He doesn't have much to cut or style, but he smelled so good for so long. They did this deshedding thing and he came out soooo pretty. They are very reasonably priced too. read more

This groomer is very personal in their service and do a great job! My dogs love going there and always come looking like fresh new pups!

My review was a well over a year ago. My dog has since passed away. As I said, we have been there many times, and only once did I have a problem with the perfume. Best wishes! read more

Our dog (mid sized - 50lbs) has been to Bark Street twice and had very positive experiences. Will definitely go back.

When I arrived at Bark Street for my puppy's appointment, my puppy sat down in front of the doorway to the grooming area and refused to go in..There were 3 other dogs in the area staring at my puppy from the other side of the gate....My puppy still refused to go into the room...The owner grabbed the leash and started pulling and dragging him saying my dog had never been with other dogs and he was not socialized and that is why he is scared to go in...when she realized he wasn't going to move she reached down and unleashed him and picked him up and dropped him in the area with the other dogs..one of which was a huge St. Bernard...This is her way of socializing...As soon as my puppy was dropped on the ground all three dogs started running after him...This is not the way to introduce a dog into another setting with numerous dogs...All of this happened in a matter of seconds...the big St Bernard cornered my puppy under a sink and was trying to reach him...... By this time I had reached my puppy and I pushed the other dogs away and scooped him up and started walking for the door...The owner put the big dog in a crate and then wanted to start the grooming on my puppy...My puppy was so upset and shaking I told her I would reschedule...She told me my dog was not socialized and that I could reschedule on another day when she only had one other dog...She'll be waiting a long time.. read more

I took my yorkie to Bark Street twice and wasn't overly impressed, but he was mat-free and soft and smelled good when I picked him up so I was pleased, overall. My third (and FINAL) time I had instructed that I wanted a schnauzer cut, which included trimming his ears up and leaving his legs long and fluffy. I picked up my handsome teddy bear from there looking completely pathetic with a cocker spaniel cut. I was almost in tears and when I tried to explain what I wanted fixed to the groomer, she acted like I was the idiot. I would've tried again if it wasn't for the last straw.....a few hours later, with him snuggling in my lap, I discovered a huge patch of his skin under his furry ears (which should have been shaved down, mind you) GONE. It scabbed over in a few days after Neosporin and keeping it washed out, but I was absolutely appalled. The ONLY reason I am giving Bark Street two stars is because they started out well, but ended badly. I would've taken him back in to get re-trimmed, but after I saw the huge scrape on his poor face, I was afraid I would flip out on the wrong person. I have since found a new dog spa in South Park area. read more

To Nancy A. Of Bark Street Are you seriously saying I was writing this review for the wrong place? You must be completely crazy, maybe your average client is of the caliber that may mistake 2 different locations for each other, they are also overpaying grossly compared to Barker Lounge. The review WAS intended for Bark Street not Barker Lounge, Barker Lounge at the time was charging 40 so the 15 dollar thing was accurate, actually you are 15 to 25 dollars more than down the street. You probably spelled my name wrong hence no record in your files. I know where I usually take my dog (Barker Lounge) and where I took him where it was way more expensive (Bark Street). They have two different names, which means they are two different places. I never claimed anything about you trying to sell me supplements I may have asked someone's opinion and got a snooty answer. If you were so concerned with what I wrote how come it took you 9 months to post anything. You don't have to toot your own horn so much on the services you provide, you are way pricier than the Barker Lounge and now after your petty little grade school tantrum you threw I will definitely NEVER be going to see you again and I will never recommend you to any of my friends or family or other dog owners. read more

I love taking my dog's here for their baths and grooming they get out of the car and go right to the door. And when I pick them up they will not leave until they get their treat. It's the best place in Charlotte Nc. Thx's Phyllis read more

Miss Nancy and Bark Street are the best! I was referred by co-worker who also has a Shih Tzu, and boy, she was not wrong! Nancy really takes her time and makes sure the dogs are relaxed and have as good of a time as they can. Like Michael mentioned, plan for your pooch to be there all day. Nancy is very patient with them and will put them down and work on a different dog if they start to get fidgety or uncomfortable. She really makes sure they don't get too stressed and come out with their tail wagging. My dog comes home happier than he goes in! I will mention that all of the dogs run around together in the grooming area, unless you want them crated, so if your pup doesn't play well or gets nervous, make sure to let her know. All of the dogs are very friendly and my dog acts like it's summer camp or something! Nancy also feeds the little guys strictly natural foods while they're there, which is great! You will not be disappointed. read more

I've taken my dog here twice. It's nothing fancy but they are easy to schedule with and they do a great job. I intend to keep using them.

We have been taking our golden doodles to Bark Street for over 5 years. We actually moved to New Orleans and about a year ago, and when we moved back to Charlotte we were so excited to for our pups to finally have a proper cut again. It's nearly impossible to find someone who can give doodles a good cut for whatever reason. I felt compelled to write this review now, because I was looking up the phone number the other day to schedule an appointment and google brought me over to yelp where I read some not so good reviews, and I wanted to address them. I can't speak to the few people who were unhappy with their dogs cut but I need to say something about the person who made the accusation of their dog getting hit. How irresponsible and straight up wrong. Unless there is video proof of such a thing, its just slander and disgusting. My dog Layla is one of the most anxious and high strung creatures in the world. In fact, if she was even spoken to in a loud tone, she would literally shake upon walking in, which she doesn't. Bark Street is actually one of 3 places IN THE WORLD where Layla walks in tail wagging. So I know she is treated with love there. Personally, I love this place and have recommender SEVERAL friends to go there, and they are also all happy. In short, I wouldn't believe everything you read read more
