The absolute worst place you could bring a dog to be groomed. They cut my golden retriever's coat…read moredown to nothing, less than half an inch long. "We thought you would like it." Nope, not only do I hate it, but you acted without permission and but my dog at risk the hottest week of the year. Cutting a Golden Retriever's hair short is not recommended because their coat plays a crucial role in regulating their body temperature. The double coat provides Insulation: The double coat helps to regulate a Golden Retriever's body temperature, keeping them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Protection: The outer coat acts as a barrier against the elements, protecting the skin from wind, rain, and sun damage. Water Resistance: The double coat helps to repel water, making it easier for Golden Retrievers to swim and play in the water. This is basic information all groomers should know.

The staff sent me video footage of the event and I quickly took my dog to the vet to be seen and diagnosed. The staff were so sweet and caring to my dog during it, which could be seen on the video. We have been coming here for years for boarding and more recently grooming for our dogs, but today really showed me why we keep coming back. Thank you to the staff for being so wonderful during a stressful time!

They host open houses a few times a year for you to go in and see the facility with fun games and events. They host various activities and specialty pictures for the dogs through the year.

I've moved and live a little further but I will forever bring my dog to lap of luxury.

I agree with other reviewers that our dog's grooming has always appeared nicely done... and I…read morealways felt like the dogs were in safe hands when Brienne was working there. However, after dealing exclusively with the owner the last several visits, we have had serious misgivings about the safety of our dogs after we drop them off. The owner appears annoyed not only when we have dropped the dogs off but we have picked them up too. On our last visit when my bf went to drop the dogs off (scheduled appointment), the owner gruffly demanded "what do you want" when he walked in..." Ummm I am just dropping the dogs off-we had an appointment"...(wth)?? Then she rudely takes them in but without so much as a simple acknowledgment or even an 'I appreciate your business' chit-chat. This was the last rude straw. If she is that foul-tempered and rude with her human customers EVERY TIME without fail (loyal paying customers who tip well), then how does she interact with our dogs when no one is around to see/know what she is doing (especially as both pups are rescues that tend to be very anxious)?? Time to find a different groomer for sure!! Think twice about bringing your sweet pup here.

Inconsistent Policies and Customer Service…read more I have been bringing both of my dogs to The Barking Lot for grooming for over a year. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have left me extremely disappointed. On one day, I brought in one of my dogs and was never asked to provide proof of his rabies vaccination, even though I had the documentation with me. The very next day, I brought in my other dog. He was approximately one month overdue for his rabies vaccine, and I had already scheduled his vaccination appointment for the following day. When I arrived, a different employee asked for his rabies tag and refused to accept him for grooming because I did not have it. What frustrates me most is the lack of consistency. If proof of vaccination is required, that policy should be applied equally to all customers and by all employees. Instead, one dog was accepted without any verification, while the other was turned away the next day. To make matters worse, when I later attempted to schedule another appointment online, my request was simply rejected without any explanation or communication. Beyond these issues, the front desk experience has often felt unwelcoming, with interactions coming across as passive-aggressive rather than customer-focused. I understand and respect the importance of vaccination requirements, but customers deserve consistent enforcement of policies, clear communication, and professional service. After over a year as a customer, this experience has been very disappointing.

We took our two (now one) dogs to Noah's Animal Hospital in Wheaton for care…read more First dog was diagnosed with a torn ACL and we were quoted upwards of $10,000 to repair. Needless to say, we looked elsewhere for care. While on the operating room table the new vet told us he was fine and needed no surgery. He's running like normal today with no surgery. Second dog was brought in to Noah's Animal Hospital in Wheaton with joint swelling and in respiratory distress, and what do you know, they diagnosed her with a torn ACL. I told the vet they were wrong, and they re-diagnosed her with Lyme Disease without a test, gave a script, and sent us on our way. 12 hours later she passed. 12 hours after seeing a vet that saw nothing emergent. 12 hours after Noah's Animal Hospital wanted to perform a knee surgery on my dying dog. 12 hours after it took someone with an art degree to tell them there was something other than a bad knee going on. If you love your animals, Noah's Animal Hospital in Wheaton is the last place you should seek care.

Dr. Olech was honest with me about his diet and his health and the way his cocoa puffs should be. The fruits, greens, and veggies he put in the comments i bought what i could find. Ive been doing what he told me as well with his pellets, head tilt, fruits, greens, and veggies. The receptionists were amazing as well. The adorable kitty DJ was so gentle with my rabbit licking him, grooming him, sniffing him. DJ was so curious as well. Hes friendly too. The coffee is yummy (cinnamon). Its so clean in the lobby and the exam room. Dr. Olech and his vet tech were again gentle with Claymore. I'll be there again for Claymores appointment next year too!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming. I walked in and i felt calm knowing Claymore was in good hands even though ive never been to his office before. Claymore even booped Dr. Olech which he doesn't do to just anyone, only if he's comfortable. Ill be staying with Noah's Animal Hospital for a long time as well. Thank you Dr. Olech and Vet team
