Bark Place NYC New York, New York

Great experience here with my long haired Scottish fold! I was having trouble maintaining his coat, no matter what I did trying to groom him, one of us would end up crying and I’d give up. Sarah to the rescue! My cat looks absolutely beautiful and all his little mats are gone! Sarah must be a cat whisperer because she said he was a very good boy, which shocked me because if I try to do anything, all hell breaks loose. Lol. He’s an unusually sweet cat but I just couldn’t do it right, he’d flip out. And she had several large dogs around the place simultaneously! So happy with our experience, will definitely be returning. Thank you so much, Sarah and Bark Place!

Very gentle and professional staff. Not there to rush and make a quick buck. Actually respect dogs and owners.

Have been taking my dog(s) to Bark Place for almost 10 years! Even though we moved out of the neighborhood it is so worth the trek to stay with Bark Place - yes, they are worth it!

Oreo looked beautiful when he was groomed! And the girls are really lovely people. A great experience.

I cannot recommend Bark Place highly enough. I’d used other groomers, none of whom even nearly measured up. I won’t use any other groomer now! Not only are they patient with my puppy and meticulous in the grooming, but the prices are fair and they do an incredible job. I’ve shown images of exactly what I want my puppy to look like and they always deliver. I highly recommend Bark Place and will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come!

Grooming was good. Prices are reasonable especially if you pay cash. It usually takes about an hour. Today it took over 90 minutes. I'm not sure why.

Wonderful grooming service! My go-to place for my dog, they do a great job. They are very friendly, professional, and reasonably priced for the neighborhood :) Highly recommend!

We love Adriana! They do a great grooming for our dog, Wally.

They did a great job grooming my mini Goldendoodle, George. He was very matted and needed a shave, which I new and accepted going into it. He was very happy when I picked him up and I could tell they took good care of him.

My dog loves going to Bark Place. He is afraid of groomers normally, but he is always so excited when I take him to Bark Place! They are very gentile with him and it's really helped with his anxiety. You can tell they truly care about the dogs, unlike other places we've tried. I appreciate that they let the dogs walk around on the ground and not just lock them in crates. The groomer spends time talking to me before his grooming to know exactly how I would like it done. My dog always looks so great when I pick him up & he gets so many compliments after leaving! I love the free ties/ bandanas they give with the grooming as well. They are very reliable and always do a great job!

Food is always fresh and delicious!

Where to start with this one. I used this place I think 4 or 5 times. I never booked a specific groomer, because how are you suppose to know which one is better than the other? They did not disappoint me on the first two visits. My Pomeranian looked fine and I was happy with the whole experience. I booked again in March. Left with unfinished work, my Pomeranian's body barely groomed, but the groomer did cut off half of his hair behind the ears saying 'he had mats'. Looked like the groomed had ZERO experience. I left angry and disappointed. I reached out to the owner - they made us another appointment for the corrections - appreciate it. And here my horror starts. Long story short - You are never suppose to shave, cut very short or clip Pomeranian. The popular 'Boo' style ruins your dog's hair and they will never look the same way again. This happened to me. I think I was in such a show after seeing my dog that I behaved like I liked it. I don't want anything from this Place anymore. Please, don't reach out to me, there is nothing you can do anymore. My dog's hair is ruined forever. Just everyone - be aware. If you use their services, make sure you get the best groomer, make your research and tell exactly how you want your dog to be groomed. Well, this didn't work for me - It was suppose to be half his hair length, using scissors only. I am left with one question... how could her clip my Pomeranian's hair without the owner's permission?? 2021.04.14 Update. Charles, With all due respect I would like to encourage you to read a little bit more about Pomeranians "One of the top reasons for an owner’s sudden panic about their Pom’s fur is a ‘grooming gone wrong’ incident. Sadly, this is common. We receive several emails a week from people who took their Pomeranian to the groomer only to pick up their dog to see that the coat was destroyed. In some cases, it’s a matter of a groomer getting carried away; an owner asks for a trim to tidy things up and the groomer goes way overboard by cutting off all the long outer guard hairs and shaving the Pomeranian down. Understandably, it can be horrifying to suddenly see a Pomeranian with their beautiful coat gone. In other cases, an owner may unknowingly request a ‘summer cut’, ‘lion cut’ or otherwise ask that the coat be shaved only to later learn that this should not be done with Pomeranians. You would assume that professional groomers would know better, however once the entire outer coat is removed and especially if the inner coat is cut into, the coat may struggle to grow back as it once was. Hair growth may be very slow and/or it may be very uneven. " If, as you claim, your groomers had 5+ years of experience wouldn't they know that? I honestly asked for half of the length to cut. The groomer said she will use scissors. She clipped him instead. What is more. His whiskers were trimmed. This is just unforgivable.... And the first groomer attached some feather extension to his fur, that I struggled to remove at home. They really don't ask? I am just trying to understand.. Dear Charles, Please look at my Poms before those two hair cuts, and then after the first and the second cut. Please, educate your Groomers. They really should know better. All I am left it is to pray his fur will grow back and won't be destroyed. Only time will tell.

I was very disappointed during my second visit to your groomers. 1. I asked for a specific groomer whom my dog likes and listens to. But on appointment day another groomer showed up. 2. My dog wasn't groomed properly, actually it was a ridiculous and unfinished look. 3. I had to pay full price for a service that wasn't delivered. So the least you can do is to refund me total amount I paid for this poor service. Please let me know when you do so.

Bark Place has been doing excellent grooming of my cat for over 3 years, Nicole does a great job! She's so clean and fresh and happy when she's back home. Excellent customer service.

So happy with how our cocker spaniel looks! Oksana was so nice and did an amazing job. Will be going back soon.

We have brought our mini Labradoodle here for years from Long Island City. We've now moved up to Germantown, NY (about 2 hours north) and still make the trip for Winnie to get his best cut. ❤️. *They also have made it very safe with current social distancing guidelines.

When I called to make an appointment at the 81st street location, they scheduled me for a different one and didn't tell me. Also, heard my dog squealing as soon as they took him to the back.

Very cozy and personal care for my dog. No cages. Friendly and professional staff.

They did a really fantastic job with my pup's overall grooming. I've taken my dog here twice. The first time I noticed that one of her ears had been nicked but didn't want to say anything because it was small and accidents happen of course. Unfortunately, this time around I noticed that she's got two cuts (or possible razor burns) on her private area, each the size of a dime. Hopefully, they will be more careful going forward with other dogs--and especially in areas such as these where the skin is sensitive and fragile.

Always a home for my furry baby Bruce Leigh. They take fantastic care of her AND make her look and stay FABULOUS!!

Loved Atticus grooming. No cages was awesome. Dogs seemed happy. Friendly staff.

They made my very matted maltese a star!

Came here with my dog after having two really bad experiences trimming his nails in other places. He’s a rescue and he has a lot anxiety and doesn’t like his paws being touch, the girls took their time, even thou he still went crazy I could hear that they were giving him treats and cheering him up like a little kid every time they cut one nail. They didn’t put a muzzle on him like the other place I tried before and I really appreciate it, they really tried to make the experience less terrifying for him and they even told me to come by so he gets used to them for next time!

Excellent service, very friendly staff and super quick

Great groomers! Very caring, courteous, and fast. My standard poodle always comes out looking beautiful!

Friendly staff and my pup always comes out looking great! I really like that they don't need to keep him there for any longer than necessary. He's usually in and out in 1.5 hours.

Great dog spa, Leo and I love Nikki!

Been taking my Labradoodle for years! They are the best!!! We love Sharon and the whole gang!

This is one of the more popular puppy salons. They offer a wide array of services.

They do cats too! Took my long haired, very senior cat in for a lion cut as she was very matted. She'd had a stroke in November and I had to wait until she was recovered enough from the stroke to go for grooming. I'd advised them of her age and health and we discussed how best to go about the grooming and what to do if she freaked (she didn't). I'm very happy with the cut and the people and will bring her back once her hair grows back in, before she gets matted. Highly Recommend.
