SIDE NOTE: Be considerate & kind to hard working businesses especially a mobile business that travels from client to client like Cookies Paws.

Don't ever use this dog groomer, Tracy…read more My dog died shortly after her grooming. She was very uncaring for a dog that had some health issues that she was aware of and was not at all patient with him and he had a stroke and a heart attack within an hour after her grooming. In addition.. she gave him a terrible haircut prior to his death which was his last experience before suffocating and passing away. She got very loud with me after calling me while she was still on my driveway to find out if I like The grooming job. Don't know why she called me obviously she felt something was wrong or knew the dog was having a problem from her mishandling him. Unfortunately I picked up the phone thinking that maybe I overpaid her for underpaid her and I didn't even have a chance to look at my dog yet as my husband brought him in. I told Tracy to give me a minute to look him over and it was a terrible haircut! She cut away too much in the wrong areas. If she didn't call me out of guilt I don't really know why she called and unfortunately I brought him back out to her as she was still on my driveway to fix something in a professional manner. I wish I would have just let it be the way it was as it is only hair and it grows back and he might still be alive as he was fine that day until that point in time. She was yelling at me and making him very nervous and pointing scissors near his eyes and pulling the fur on his face while she was talking to me about what she did and didn't do. She made my dog very upset and nervous and caused the heart attack and or stroke but he died on our way to the vet. He was the love of my life and she had a very uncaring attitude all she said was,"it must have been his time". Well maybe somebody will say that to her when her children pass away or something terrible happens to her I guess it's their time! Do not use this groomer! We are trying to make people aware that she is very harmful and should not be a dog groomer as she has no love for dogs and very bad client skills. We hope she goes out of business.

Disturbing Treatment of Animals & Unprofessional Management…read more Our experience with Barks Bed & Biscuit was incredibly disappointing and concerning -- both in how they treat animals and how they handle hiring. I feel obligated to share this to warn other pet owners and job seekers. To begin, the way the dogs are treated is unacceptable. I witnessed staff dragging dogs by their collars back to their kennels. Employees were also yelling at the dogs to "shut up," including the manager herself, who said this during my daughter's interview. That level of disrespect and impatience coming from leadership sets a terrible example for the rest of the staff and shows a complete lack of compassion. The area where dogs are taken out to use the bathroom is just small pebbles and rocks -- no grass, no real comfort for the animals. The smell was overpowering, clearly not maintained properly, and honestly, I'm worried it could pose a health risk. It was strong enough to make someone gag. My daughter only saw one dog briefly engaged with -- they threw a ball once or twice, then ignored them. That's the extent of the "playtime" they supposedly offer. The rest of the dogs just stood around waiting to go back in. two younger employees were vaping, and one even asked an older staff member to buy them a vape. This level of behavior is completely unprofessional, especially in an environment that should prioritize safety, cleanliness, and responsibility. Now onto the hiring situation with my daughter, which was completely mishandled. She applied for a job, was told she was able to come in for an interview, and asked to return the following week for a one-hour session to see how she worked with animals. She completed that, did well, and was told she had the position. Based on that, she officially gave her two weeks' notice at her current job. She was excited to move into a role where she could work with animals -- something she's passionate about. Then, out of nowhere, she received a casual text message saying they weren't hiring anymore due to things "slowing down." Here's the exact message: "Hey ______ ! Meg decided not to hire anyone else since we are getting slower; there won't be enough hours to give out. once we get busier meg or I will reach out to you! If you are interested in doing overnights then I can send you some info for them! Thank you for coming in last week:) " This is how my daughter replied: Hi, Thanks for the message. After giving it some thought, I've decided I'm no longer interested in moving forward with the position. I appreciate the opportunity to come in last week, but I did find the process a bit unprofessional, especially with the sudden change after my time and effort. I wish you and the team all the best moving forward. They haven't even made the effort to respond to my daughter and apologize. My daughter was devastated. Not only had she been told she had the job, but she was also counting on that income -- especially after just taking her pet to an emergency vet visit that cost a lot. Now, because of their carelessness and poor communication, she'll have no money coming in and has to deal with the fallout of leaving her previous job for an opportunity that was taken away with a text. Between the neglectful treatment of animals, the unsanitary conditions, the unprofessional and immature staff, and the way they carelessly misled a young applicant, I would never trust Barks Bed & Biscuit with my pet -- or recommend anyone consider working there.

Never again. I've owned many dogs. Poodles, Maltese, mixed shedding breeds and never ever did I…read morehave a dog come home bloody and also without any concern from the groomer or staff. When I asked to speak w the groomer she would t come out. When I called they told me it was normal and it happens. At the desk I said oh gosh what happened and she said oh idk that happens if they wiggle. My dog is never a problem at the vet or the groomer. I had to go straight to the vet from the groomer. He had to go on antibiotics and have wound care. I called asking them to cover the bill of about 200 and they refused to speak with me or work with me. After that I decided never again and I told and showed the community what they did. This was a while ago but as I was searching for a groomer today I came upon this one and decided it deserved a review. This is to protect all the voiceless pups out there and to alert owners that if you love your dog don't go here. Hurting a dog accidentally and owning it and apologizing is one thing. Being nasty and difficult and saying this is normal is not ok. A simple apology and pleasant attitude fits a long way.
