Barks N' Bubbles - Nina after her grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I'm a business person, it takes a lot for me to go on Google and place a negative one star rating for any business because I know how difficult it is to operate any business, as a matter of fact this is the only time I have ever done this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had an appointment for my dog at this establishment, not my first one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was away on a business trip, my wife brought our dog for a complete grooming and bath for our Australian Terrier Poodle mix Annie. The appointment was for noon and the pickup time was between 2-3PM. My wife showed up to pick up Annie a little early sometime around 2:30PM and walked in while she was still being groomed. Sarah the owner/groomer was about halfway through grooming Annie, she was not happy that my wife showed up a little early, instead of saying, please come back in thirty minutes or longer, she stopped grooming Annie (she was barely half done!) and told my wife she could not continue grooming her because Annie was too excited about seeing my wife at the door (all the grooming is completed in the front of the studio) my wife asked her to complete the grooming, she refused and she did NOT offer to finish the grooming another day, she wanted my wife to pay for the full grooming, and she did, which I am also unhappy about! Annie looks horrible she literally is barely half groomed with the hind legs completed and up to halfway to her middle, the rest of her is about full length. Today I found another groomer to complete the grooming for Annie. I found this behaviour by Sarah extremely unprofessional for a business owner toward a customer who has been coming in for the grooming service she provides for a couple of years, this is really unprofessional behavior period, even if I was a first time client. For this reason I cannot recommend this establishment for dog grooming services again, this type of behavior toward established customers, or any customer, shows that this business does not appreciate their customers, maybe because she has a lot of them and is not worried about losing a few here and there, book an appointment at your own risk here. read more

All indoors. They don't have individualize schedules for each pup. They put food down and pick it up within a half an hour, and my dog does not eat fast. The fee is about the same as any other, I think read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic staff! Professional and experienced![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best care for your pup and reasonable prices.

Service is great. Pricing is inconsistent and Paid nearly 2x as what I was told when I left the door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ladies are nice and will treat whatever you bring in with love & care[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]; price was pretty disappointing and even the cashier at the moment seemed shocked at the price for my 15 pound mini bernadoodle. She did have matts but I made that more than clear in the phone call and in person and was still quoted about 75 dollars and when I go to pay a voice from the back says $125. I drove 40 minutes out of the way and waited 3 hours so of course that makes it just a little more annoying. That being said I wanted to reiterate that they do a good job and will take great care of your pup. read more

I cannot recommend Barks N' Bubbles more! My weimaraner is quite the handful when anyone attempts to cut or trim her nails. At the vet, the technicians have given up every single time I've taken her in and has sent her home multiple times because "she wouldn't let them cut more", and told me to come back a few days later to finish the job. She doesn't bite and is sweet as could be but she is very strong and has quite long legs! I saw some great reviews here about being able to cut other anxious pups nails, so I made an appointment and hoped they would be successful with my pup. HUGE SUCCESS! All four paws were trimmed in no more than 7 minutes! And they use the Dremel instead of clippers, so no sharp edges or trauma! Wow. I was so floored I teared up and got choked up! Even after the manicure, my pup was friendly and sweet with the ladies, and was rewarded with some yummy treats they keep on hand! They were so supportive of my dogs anxiety and I watched them shower her in love and sweetness the whole time even though she was unhappy. They let me stay in the room with her and even let me come also help console my pup while they were doing the front paws. The best part, they said it was NOT abnormal for dogs to hate this process, to be scared or anxious, and were incredibly supportive of me. In the past, vets and vet techs have made me feel awful, like I was the worst mom, shamed me for her long nails or for their inability to cut them. Everyone who knows me, knows I don't love ANYTHING as much as I love my dog. I could not be happier and can't wait to see them in 4 weeks for another puppy manicure! Could not be more thrilled. THANK YOU! read more

Barks N' Bubbles - Great nails after the trim!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

It was my first time getting my dog groomed. I decided Barks n Bubbles based on their great reviews, they definitely lived up to them! My Aussie has very bad anxiety, he doesn't even let the vet tech trim his nails.. and that's with his calming medication and a cheese bribe! The groomer was very nice and friendly, you can tell she's passionate about what she does. My dog doesn't trust most and he let her do an amazing job, I highly recommend them! I was nervous about getting a short cut but it came so out perfect and better than I could imagine. Can't wait to bring my other dog, he doesn't even need a trim but I'm so impressed I'll come for their other services. I know Huxley will be excited to come back! read more

My dog is very squeamish about getting his nails done and I cannot thank the staff enough for being patient and keeping a steady hand with him to get his nails done. The progress between his first and second appointments was incredible in terms of his anxiety and attitude about getting them done. I appreciate that I can book routine appointments for him in advance and that their services are very affordable. I highly recommend for any other owners of dogs with nail grooming anxiety. read more

I'm a helicopter dog mom (acknowledging the problem is a thing I hear) and I have a Podenco who has some anxiety with new people and hates everything about grooming, especially when I try to do it. After trying out a few places in Goose Creek, I was unimpressed. So, I did a lot of research and decided that BnB would be my next test. I was impressed. Meri's groom was almost perfect, and touch ups were done on the spot. The employees were super nice and asked about Meri's breed since it's rare in the US. They require rabies and bordatella vaccines for dogs. read more

I could not ask for more in a dog groomer. The team over at Barks and Bubbles are awesome! I have two energetic Brittanys, and they can be quite a handful. Abby and Sarah not only can handle them, they seem to love them! My dogs go crazy when they arrive and they seem to really enjoy being there. They always do a great job and are super affordable - $20 each for wash and nail trimming. (My dogs weigh around 45 lbs each, I think it's more for bigger dogs) They have a nice little shop and add lots of personal little touches like giving the dogs little ribbons if they behave! We won't go anywhere else! read more

From a hot mess to a puppy princess. My Aussiedoodle was seriously overdue for mani-pedi, bath and cut. She looks beautiful now (and she knows it)! Thank you so much for the great job and see you in 6 weeks! read more

Our Molly looks beautiful. The groomer seemed especially knowledgeable about doodles and when we told her about Molly's eye condition she even suggested trimming her eyelashes to help care for them. There was a little confusion on the cost of the grooming but we're very happy with the results. They did a beautiful job. read more

Sarah amd staff are wonderful, my two pups always look and smell terrific. My older dog hates his nails trimmed, it's been impossible for years but she gets them trimmed everytime. read more

I've been a satisfied customer since 2008! Recently moved to the summerville area & I still make the 21 mile drive back to west Ashley so they can pamper my pooch! That says it all. I tried to find another groomer closer to home, & was never satisfied. Barks N Bubbles is the best! #Cookie'sMom read more

Always do a great job with my two dogs. One has hair had needs cut, the other has fur and just needs bathed and brushed. I go about once every 3-4 months and the cut holds well. My dogs are always very happy and treated well. The staff works with my for my unusual work schedule which is very helpful for me. They also take pictures and post them in Instagram, which I greatly appreciate! The prices are very affordable as well. read more

Miss Sarah has been grooming our dogs for over 13 years and they love her totally. They can't wait to get into the shop and always come home beautifully groomed and sweet smelling. She treats every animal, dog or cat, as if it is her favorite customer. You can really tell that the main reason she went into the grooming business is because of her love of animals. read more

I have been with Sarah for over 15 years! I've had 3 dogs of my own to come to her as well as family members who I've refereed to her. WE LOVE BARKS N BUBBLES. Sarah is so sweet and fun and every dog that we have had absolutely loves her. She is very dedicated and does a fabulous job with our babies. We use to Use Carolina grooming but one the original owner passed away we were blessed with finding Sarah. The love that she has for her craft is above and beyond amazing and I am in love with each and every job that she renders. Her prices are great and well worth every penny! She's the best around if you ask me! read more

The ladies here are super nice, and good at what they do. You can tell they really love dogs, and they're so excited to see each dog that comes through the door. The prices are great. My dog gets a bath, her ears cleaned, and her nails trimmed for just about $20. It's so worth it, and it's affordable enough that I can bring her in once a month. She comes home squeaky clean, smelling great, and wearing a cute little ribbon on her collar. I think she can tell how good she looks, too! read more

I love this place! Took my maltipoo puppy (6mo.) for her first cut and am very pleased. Super friendly and patient staff, and one happy, cute puppy! read more

Sarah and Abby at Barks and Bubbles are wonderful. You can tell they really love dogs. I brought in a very timid rescue poodle that was in pretty bad shape. They were so sweet to her and she looked like a different dog when I picked her up! She was gorgeous and not too stressed out (which would have been very easy to do). On top of all that, they have convenient hours and easy parking. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I am in love! We were referred by a neighbor to take our three babies there for a bath. The prices are amazing. For around $20, each pup got a bath, nails done and anal glands done! They were so pretty when they came home! The girls were great with them and each one came home with a little pink bow on. They are so soft and fuzzy, we can't stop nuggling up with them. One pup is very skid dish and she came home all smiles. I Amos pleased, Barks N Bubbles will become our monthly routine! Yay for y'all! read more

The owner has always done a terrific job on my golden doddle. My dog loves going there unlike going to other West Ashley groomers. The price is very fair. I have been there 3 times and plan to keep going back. read more

Miss Sarah and her crew are wonderful! Prices are great, service is so friendly and they do an outstanding job! They've been chosen by readers of the Charleston City Paper as best Pet Spa in Charleston! They've been taking care of our Black Lab/Rottweiler mix, Rudy, for 2 years now and we couldn't imagine taking her anywhere else! read more

After giving them a chance 3 times we will never go back. Our 2 pups have had to be re-trimmed and their nails filed after each visit and the staff never listen to or honor our requests- not that difficult. They are rude and never bother to ask if we are pleased/satisfied when we pick up. This last visit our 2 were there for 9 hours, this after we'd explained that 1 of them needed to be treated with care as he'd had some surgery a few days before. We also realized they were dehydrated when we finally got them home. Do your pups a favor and avoid this place! read more

Great place to have your dog groomed. The staff is always friendly and love my dog as much as I do. Sarah is very knowledgeable on dog grooming as well as general dog health. She is always quick to point out anything she finds on my dog that may need medical attention. They stay booked so make a reservation way in advance. read more

Just picked up my dog and they made him look ridiculous. I wish I could show you a before and after picture. Before - attractive dog. After - ludicrous looking animal. I sincerely hope this grows in quickly. As for the place itself, its very clean and the staff is friendly, but seem to not really have much of a clue about dogs and dogs' hair - which you'd think would be important for their jobs. I'm not saying they're the worst groomers ever, but I can pretty much guarantee you can find a better one in the area. I know I will. Oh, and I'm pretty sure they also forgot to feed him all day. Thanks guys. $70 poorly spent. read more

My puppy was groomed here once and had a good experience. When I tried to make another appointment recently, I left two voicemails during business hours and never received a call back. It's been well over a week now... apparently they don't want my business. I am a very loyal customer and am sad to have to find a new groomer. read more

It is hard to describe the almost Zen atmosphere of Bark and Bubbles. It is not the physical environment, it is the warmth, calm and professional manner in which Sarah and Abby treat our dog and the other dogs. I was so pleased to find this grooming concern. They go way beyond the norm to make sure the dogs are treated well. I have a personal story that I am not willing to share but suffice to say that my husband and I will be ever grateful for the care that Sarah took with our dog. Do not hesitate to use this service. They are wonderful. read more

Update: 11/1/2016 The owner called me promptly to apologize and refund our cost. I shared photos with her of the cut and she has promised to review with the staff. ### We scheduled an appointment for our golden retriever before our family photos. Both when I made the appointment and again when I dropped off our dog, I clearly said I wanted her to have a haircut but still look like a golden retriever--trim her chest and feathers but not too close. The staff mentioned that many customers ask for retrievers to be shaved and I said, again, absolutely not shaved, just a trim. When we picked her up, she had been shaved. Moreover, the shave was uneven with chunks of fur at different lengths. When my husband called to discuss the situation, the staff argued with him and told him that was the cut I requested. Our dog now looks ridiculous for our photos. I don't recommend working with this business--both because of the poor quality and also lack of customer service. read more

They did an amazing job on my Siberian Huskies! Their coats have never looked so good! Affordable prices, quality service! Highly recommended!! read more

Sarah use to groom my Bischon Shayna until I had to put her down awhile back. Although I loved Shayna, she didn't make anything easy. She was especially hard to groom but Sarah was always patient and did a great job. Now when my daughter visits from NYC she brings her Havanese Frank to be groomed here. Sarah still continues to do excellent work, and truly loves dogs! Although Havanese are a fairly rare breed Sarah knew/found out what to do with him. He always looks great! read more

Did an absolutely incredible job with our two siberian huskies. They look beautiful again. Thanks so much!! and a very good price too.

Very pleased with our doggies haircut!! The ladies did an amazing job with our little man. He went from shaggy to handsome again! Thank you ladies! read more

I've tried 4 other groomers in the Charleston area and Barks N' Bubbles is by far the best and most affordable, and best of all, they treat my dogs like their own. One of my pups is extremely skittish and freaks out easily. He's always really nervous when we get there, but as soon as he sees Abby and Sarah, he's gets excited and runs right to them. read more

It usually takes a lot for me to love something that has to do with my fur-babies (since I can be a little picky), but this place definitely makes the cut. The girls there are amazing and absolutely love my dog. I always feel better leaving her someplace that I can tell she loves, and she can't wait to go inside every time we visit. They are super flexible with scheduling and pick-ups as well. I only get her a bath, so can't comment on the grooming part, but Barks and Bubbles has excellent, reasonable service and friendly, animal-loving staff. read more
