Bark of the Town North Andover, Massachusetts

Love this place!!! Patty is the best. Great Service, friendly staff...and above all love and compassion for my dogs.

Bark of the Town is consistently excellent. Our dog, Luna, is always perfectly groomed and the site is clean and organized. Their COVID preparation is totally by the books and safer than most of the places I’ve been since March. I highly recommend Patty, Angela and everyone working there.

Best in Merrimack Valley???? Patti and her crew do great work. Been going for years now

Love this place. Reasonable price and they do a GREAT job on my pet.

Always a wonderful experience. They do an excellent job and my dog always has a great day.

Consistently do a great job!!!!

Friendly staff, always take good care of our dog. She looks and smells wonderful after a visit!

The people are fantastic and the results are outstanding!

Patti is the best and loves her animals! I always feel welcomed the second I walk through the door. Bark of the Town also carries some of the best leashes for your four legged friends!

Second trip for our puppy. Very pleased with the results.

Very nice welcome. First time here

I have lived in North Andover for almost 5 years now. Bark of the Town is the 4th grooming shop I have brought my dogs to. This is also the last. I take my dogs to be groomed every six weeks. I do bathe them a few times in between, frankly, because they smell like dogs. I feel the groomers are very professional. Seriously people, the groomers bathe the dogs, comb out the dogs, take off ticks, wash the posterior, cut nails, clean ears, and the endless matting!! It is less traumatic on the matted dogs to be cut short that an hour of tugging out matts. The business owner is top notch. Stop shopping around, this is the place to go.

Really good service, professional. Prices are a bit high.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof...that's a 5 woof review for Bark of the Town! I've been a client for over 10 years and can't imagine having my dogs groomed by any other groomer. The owner and her entire staff are incredibly passionate about their work and it shows with each happy client I meet when I pick up my dogs. This Andover resident is a Bark of the Town client for life!

I have taken my wire-haired dog here multiple times now and every time is as great as the last. I have given him baths myself in between grooming, but he never stays as clean and fresh as he does after a day at bark of the town. The groomers are all certified and extremely knowledgeable to breed standards (if that's your sort of thing). They also notice things and recommend going to my vet if they see an ear infection brewing for example. And that is very helpful as it is usually caught before it's bad and causing him pain. I think some of these other reviewers don't understand how difficult it must be to groom a bunch of dogs and get cuts perfectly while the dog is moving around or trying to bite. Yes bite... even the best dogs don't all like to be with strangers who are messing with their fro. It happens. And if they told me to muzzle my dog or take another precaution- I would. Who would want a person to get bit? And yes if you don't groom your long haired dog enough and it gets matted... they will have to cut the matts out and yes there may be a bald spot. Matts hurt! I wouldn't want one left on my dog. In conclusion- they are awesome and I love the new location with the pet items for sale. The spray conditioner stuff is awesome and I love their selection of collars and leashes. The owner is hysterical and doesn't mind me hanging around while I wait a half a day for my dog to get done since I live far away. (Oh and my dog is 55lbs, very difficult and nervous around strangers and no one could cut his nails before this place)

I am very disappointed with my experience from Bark of The Town. My puppy's second trip there, upon picking up my dog I was told that his eye is squinting and he might have a hair in it. After the drive home I could tell he was in pain so I brought him to the Animal Hospital where they told me he had a cut on his eyeball. I let bark of the town know that he was at the vet and he had a cut on his eye and had to go back in a couple of days to see if it was healing. They never called back to see how he was doing or even offer to reimburse his hair cut after paying 50.00 then hundreds in Vet bills. I called back to then cancel an appointment I had made for the future and still received no call back. In addition, his face was extremely dirty after from all the tears and goop and ointment I had to put on him so he wasn't even clean following the haircut. Very poor customer service. Attached is a photo of my puppy while at the vet with his eye closed from pain, it broke my heart.

We have been going to Bark of the Town for years. Friendly staff and the groomer is always great with our jumpy miniature schnauzer!

We were a customer, but their work became sloppy, and then without speaking with us they shaved our dogs tail. Better grooming can be found elsewhere
