Original Bark Portland, Oregon

Always sweet and friendly. They take such good care of our little dog for grooming and day care.

Just didn’t tell us about the price increase and half day no price change ????

I really didn't like there attitude

Great cuts and dogs seem happy

Amazing customer service - Prompt, friendly and personalized. Great job with the pup and easy to schedule / set-up.

This is our favorite daycare. The staff are great, the report cards are awesome, and they have web cams so you can watch your pooch enjoying their day!

Our English Bulldog. Tank, has been a frequent customer at Original Bark for years. We can’t say enough about their staff and services- they take such good care of him and make everything so easy, from drop offs to payments. Ben and crew have it dialed! And thank you for re-opening in this crazy time for grooming services! Tank wanted me to give a knuckle bump and a five star bark to his groomer from Monday’s service.

We’ve had 2 dogs at Original Bark who both loved it for daycare and boarding. Really caring staff.

I had a very unfortunate visit at Original /Central Bark today. We regularly take our 2 year old Golden Retriever here to bath her ourselves. A couple of weeks ago we scheduled a visit with a groomer for today. It wasn’t the typical groomer. We clearly stated when we scheduled that she was skittish with all grooming and they told us no problem. Long story short they washed and half dried her but said they didn’t feel safe finishing. I offered to come back and work with them as it was new for her. They said sure. 5 minutes before I arrived back they called and said they wouldn’t work with me and try that. When I arrived the groomer had “stepped out” although I was expected. They wouldn’t try to work with me and they charged me for a wash and groom they didn’t provide. I understand that even if we had worked together it may have not been a great groom but something better than nothing. I would have appreciated the customer service I expected. I told them we wouldn’t be coming back. The receptionist and groomer seemed very young and inexperienced. Obviously not experienced working with the public.

I called them up today to see if they had availability to do my dogs nails and Evy was very professional and sweet on the phone! They are following PPE and are having you drop off your dog and stay 6 feet away! Just wonderful. Evy did a great job on my dogs nails! He is pretty awkward for them but when I got him back he wasn't stressed and his long long nails looked short and perfect! Awesome place!

I have two dogs who occasionally go to daycare and get groomed regularly at Original Bark. We don't go in often but they always remember my pups and take great care of them!

Venice loves the staff and the other dogs. Thank you, thank you!!

Our first time here, we were really excited to try a new place to have our dog bathed. Original Bark was a disappointment due to their lack of customer service and manners. We barely got greeted, the price was outrageous for self-service wash, and to top it all off once we paid and purchased dog treats there was no "thank you" or "have a nice day" which may not mean a lot to you but it means a lot to me as the customer and as someone you'd think you'd like to come back soon to your place business. Once was enough, going to find someplace else for our dog.

Lots of service options. Great place to get your dog cleaned up.

Great staff. Our dogs love it!

Amanda was really lovely, but this place wasn’t what I expect a pet grooming or daycare place to be. The whole entrance area smelled like urine, and when I walked in, a staff member was sitting on the floor in the area behind the desk on their phone, totally unaware a customer had come in. Once Amanda came around the corner she was great about making sure I knew where to go and what to do. The self dog-wash station was fine, though the soaps were super watered-down to the point I’m really not sure how clean I was able to get my dog. All in, from a cleanliness standpoint only, I would not recommend this place.

Cookie loves staying here Last stay 14 days,well taken care of,loved and held. Staff is really wonderful.

This review is long overdue considering how great they are and how much our family relies on them! We've been using their hike service and grooming service for 2 years now. Once a week they pick up our senior beagle and take him on a hike and once a month he gets a bath and his nails trimmed after his hike. Original Bark's staff is always super pleasant and trustworthy - often I'm not at home to let them in at either the pick up or drop off and I trust them to let themselves in. We've never had any issues. Many times when I have to be gone all day they have saved my bacon (and carpet) by getting our guy out for a walk so he can relieve himself (and have a little company for a bit)!! Our dog is also skittish as he was used in medical experiments before he was freed and came to live with us. Original Bark was great about getting him used to them and the routine. Now, our beagle boy knows the drill and comes running to the door with his tail wagging when they get here. I love that they take a photo that you can see on Instagram, too! We haven't tried their doggie daycare but our neighbors use their doggie daycare at times and their dog (and our neighbors) absolutely love it. They were the ones that recommended Original Bark to us, actually. They are a wonderful team to have on your speed-dial to help you parent your fur-baby(ies)!

Our mix breed dog has a long coat which we like to leave long in the winter. Two years in a row when we’ve had him groomed here they’ve done a buzz cut on him which leaves him looking like he’s ready for summer. Last year I said I wanted his length to stay as it was and this year I specifically said I want him left long as I didn’t like how they did it last year. I will not be coming back again. I, as the customer, need to be listened to - especially when I’m paying $100 for a grooming.

Washing my dog is always easy here. All of the employees are super helpful and the Groomers are excellent!

Best doggy day care in town (and we have tried several). Central Bark offers overnight stays, baths, nail trimming, hikes and more. What more could you ask for? We love leaving our dog there when we go out of town....and even better our dog loves it!

We have been using Central Bark Hikes for out tripod puppy for about 6 months now. We love it...and so does he! He comes back tired and happy. The hikers post great pictures of him and they always follow our directions for picking him up and putting him away. I would strongly recommend Central Bark Hikes!

My favorite place to take my dog for the day

I have a dog that sheds an insane amount every year and he leaves Central Bark groomer looking amazing. Love the friendly staff too.

Best place to bring your dog! We love dogs!

Best Doggie Day Care in town!

So friendly and helpful. My dog loves it there.

Friendly& helpful people!! I highly recommended for your puppy/ dog kids!!

Very helpful and friendly staff. The place is spotless. Dogs all seem to be wagging their tails and getting along. I'm very happy to find this for my little aussiedoodle.

I take my little dachshund mix to daycare because he has very bad separation anxiety - the kind that causes vomiting and incontinence and significant physical stress for him. I was so disappointed when I went to pick him up at the end of the workday and could hear him whining in the back before I even opened the front door. When I asked why my dog was alone, they said, "We close at 6:15". I walked in the door a minute before closing which is, I assumed was how their business hours worked. Their Yelp profile currently says they close at 6:30, but that's a moot point since I arrived before 6:15. If I'd known they leave the dogs alone at 6 or whenever he was put in the kennel by himself, I would have been sure to be there earlier. As one girl went to get my whining and visibly distressed dog, I was greeted by another person who wanted to ring me up. I told her I was upset that my dog was left alone and I wanted to know why that was. She was extremely rude to me and said, "Uh, we're actually closed..." but it was only just then 6:15 and I was just trying to pick up my dog. I told her I was leaving and she said, "Good, don't bother coming back". Needless to say, I won't be.
