Staff was friendly and he looked and smelled clean when I got him back. I asked if he was good during the service and she kindly/jokingly said she wish she could say yes but that he jumped out of the bath and tried to run towards the front door. I don't see how this equates to him not being good though. I leash him even when bathing him at home so not sure why that's not done at a personal grooming place. Especially with bigger dogs as mine is 75lbs. I probably won't take him back there. Not because of the service. I just think they may not be equipped to handle dogs like mine. read more

It was Lucille's 9th birthday and she is a fluffy beast! Finding a groomer for a jumbo dog has been a nightmare. Luckily I found the Barking Spot and they took care of my jumbo fluff (shes not fluffy anymore) They texted me with updates and questions which I appreciated! read more

Layla came in a bit matted, super long hair, just a mess in general from all the mud play lately from the stormy weather haha. She came out within an hour and 15 clean and cute! She was the last one there at the end of the day and they were so nice about having to wait for us to get there. She listened when I said I still wanted her face to be a teddy bear face. Super super thankful I didn't listen to the reviews because she had a good time and was not caged up while waiting. Thank you barking spot! also they give 10% off for military read more

Barking Spot - Pet Stores Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This salon was recommend on a community page. Scheduling was a breeze. You can call the shop or communicate by text. A link confirming the appointment and a waiver is provided. Shop is clean, stylish, and absolutely adorable. Love their selection of treats and beds. Prices are competitive and a military discount is available. The cleaning itself took an hour and notification was provided by text. The final product was unexpectedly disappointing. Our senior pug was damp with a slight odor. Ironically she smells like a (wait for it) wet dog. Not a hint of shampoo or body mist. Perhaps they use a non scented or sensitive shampoo???? No handkerchief (not that we ever kept those things). And although her coat was brighter she was in dire need of a brush. I was able to remove quite a bit of fur by running my hand across her back. THE BATH includes a spa bath, blow dry, brush, ear cleaning, teeth brushed, nail trim, and anal glands. With a military discount (not including tip) I paid $36. Convenient and competitive pricing. No bells and whistles. read more

This place does amazing work with your fur children. Make sure to be specific when groomers and they will do awesome. I have seen people comment negatively, but how much detail did you provide groomer? Or did you drop off and expect them to read your mind? Either way, love this place and always take care of our dog. Thank you and your team for all you do. You get text reminder of appointment and also text reminder for pick up. SIMPLY AWESOME! read more

Update: Victoria. The owner reached out. We cleared things up and I appreciate that. I appreciated that she heard what I had to say as well as her staff. I'm all about hearing both sides of the story because it puts things into perspective. The ONLY reason why it's not at 5 stars is because I think this situation could have been handled sooner, but otherwise. I think everyone. From the staff to the owner Victoria. Genuinely cares about her clients. So thank you. read more

Appreciated that they knew the exact "cut" my dog needed and had a package for it! Usually I have to tell groomers to cut fur between paw pads, behind, and belly...and typically they forget something. So appreciate I could just drop her off and a job well done read more

The girls are always so friendly and they have a great selection of products for purchase. The grooming price is reasonable and we get a lot of services for a low price (teeth brushing, bath, trimming, nail trimming). My dog comes back smelling of blueberries instead of..dog... and always with a little bow or kerchief. They groom her exactly how I request and they keep a log so there is no confusion on hair length, etc. I brought my dog back only one time because her face looked square and they fixed it right away and were great about it. read more

Barking Spot - My handsome boy in the front lobby. - Pet Stores Near Me - Chula Vista, California

My dogs ear got cut pretty badly. He had some matting under his ear and they said it was cut in the process of removing. I understand a small nip or cut, but they cut out a big chunk of my dogs ear. I've never had this happen even at chain store groomers. On top of that, the groom itself was unpolished. So disappointing and a clear indication that they rush through services. I would not leave a review for the bad grooming alone, but the cut in my dogs ear is too much. They said my dog didn't feel any pain, but how would I ever know that? These photos are from just minutes leaving. read more

Pretty nice spot for grooming. They are thorough with the deshedding and teeth brushing.

We have been using Barking Spot ever since we adopted our tripod Mochi. We were nervous about finding someone that can be patient and sweet to her because she requires special handling. Sammie is the person that is able to do this. She is always great with her. We also got a second dog and she does a great miniature schnauzer cut on him and handles his craziness very well. We wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else. We only book with Sammie but I am sure the other groomers are great too. read more

Friendly staff and easy to get an appointment. Reasonable price and proximity to my house is so convenient.

My dog Arlo is really scared of people and other dogs so it's hard to find a groomer who will be patient with him. I found this place online and when I called to ask a few questions the person was super friendly and put all my worries at ease. An hour before my appointment I got a text saying I could come in earlier if I wanted because there was a cancellation so I headed over early. I really appreciated this good and open communication. When I arrived the employee was very friendly and ready to get to work. She asked what I wanted done, answered all my questions, listened to what I had to say, and was very kind to my dog who was trying to jet out the door. It only took about an hour and 20 minutes for everything which is great compared to the 6 hours that he spent at other grooming places. When I came back to get him he was waiting in a cute pen area with plenty of room to walk around instead of waiting in a crate. She did a fantastic job with the grooming and was so nice to my pup. The location was very clean and cute and even had some doggie goodies for purchase. I will definitely come back when he needs another groom because I know I won't have to worry about how my fur baby is being treated! Just look at his lil face! He even got a bandana and was strutting around the mall after. read more

Very friendly. I was confident leaving my pups there with them and they did an excellent job on both of my little tiny senior dogs. We will be bringing our pups back to them. read more

Love taking my baby to get groomed here! They do the works and are so patient and sweet with my Shiba. If you have a Shiba Inu, you know how difficult they can get, but my Apple loves coming here! She always smells amazing and is super soft after her appointment. They also have super cute dog toys, healthy treatos, and other adorable merch. Highly recommend them! :) read more

I wish I would have found this place sooner. My yorkie can get pretty stressed about grooming, and I've been told by others not the most compliant. Sammy is an angel with the pups. All the dogs are so calm when you walk in. They act like they're having a spa day rather than the horrific torture that my little guy has acted like it was in the past. I used to drop him off for 4-5 hr appointments (multiple other places!) where they told me they needed to take their time with him. Sammy gets him in and out in 1.5 hours! read more
