I took my five month Maltipoo there to get groomed today. They did a wonderful job. She got a bath and haircut her nails trimmed and her ears cleaned all for $ 50. I’m very happy with their services.

We brought our dog here for a weekend and when we picked him up everything was fine but he did poop right after we picked him up which caused us to believe he wasn’t taken out very often. When we boarded him in other places he never did this because a dog business knows to take the dog out before the owner comes to pick them up. That was fine so we let it slide. This time when we picked him up after A week of staying here, he came home with two large sores on each of his paws. When we called to ask what happened they said it was because he was walking out side and it was cold. This cannot be true because we walk him outside everyday, rain, snow or sunshine. They gave a BS excuse. The day he came home and the following two days he had a cough and it was bad enough that we took him to the vet. This ended in $ 140 of medications for Kennel Cough and a vet visit costs which could only mean he got it there. He has been vaccinated but we are told by the vet often the vaccination can not work. If there was a dog with the cough in their building they should have AT LEAST notified us. They told us he was loosing his voice from barking but the vet has told us otherwise. They didn’t seem to really take care of the dogs, they just look after them. I will be looking into some places in queens that give you updates and have videos. Those seem worth the money.

Horrible experience. Filthy place and unpleasant staff. Used this for boarding my dog 2 years ago and had a wonderful experience. This place has definitely gone down hill. They do not provide food or wee wee pads anymore. Brought only 4 wee wee pads incase. Made me buy a huge box for my dog but when I picked up my dog I found that in the 3 days she was there, they only used 2 of the pads I provided. I go through more per day at home which meant she must have gone on the floor of her boarding room. When I picked my dog up she looked dirty, smelled like urine soaked on her as well as very dehydrated. The place reeked of urine. She was supposed to be groomed and bathed which I requested on my form but they said I didn’t ask for it (I have a copy which says otherwise) and if I wanted it she would have to stay again. They charged me also for an extra $ 10 as I picked her up at 2:30 and new policy requests extra money for pick ups after 2pm. You used to be able to pick up after 5pm. Also found out that these 2 girls (not sure where owner is) leave at 5pm so pets are not watched and taken care of after 5pm. They don’t reopen until 8 – 9 am for next day. This place used to be clean and filled with pets and owner always present. Now it is empty and absolutely filthy. Will never use them again. Took my dog 2 days to recover as she was so dehydrated.

I brought my dog there and they explained what they would do as far as grooming goes, I was unsure at first but when i saw my schnauzer he looked great. THey obviously spent time with him and cut his fur according to wht a schnauzer should look like. I trusted the groomer to do the right thing and she did. I WILL be returning. although it was a bit expensive i will still go back…

My dog grooming experience at Barkingham Palace was good. My dog looked great and the groomers were professional and pleasant.

This place is horrible. They don’t even deserve a star! They completely disregarded our instructions and shaved my dogs hair down to skin instead of trimming his fur. The employees magically forgot how to speak English when we picked him up. Never take your dog here!

Love sending my pet here — I live in Astoria and gladly hike all the way to Port Washington (Long Island) to get my beloved Pomeranian groomed here. Two reasons it’s worth it — for a full groom (wash, hair cut, nails, ears, anal glands) I ring up to a surprising $ 34 (if you pay cash, you receive a 10% discount — always pay cash!). Secondly, it’s a quick stroll from the LIRR station making it convenient. The staff receive a lot of pet-​owners who come here from Manhattan and are great with giving you an estimate on the wait-​time for your pooch to be beautified. I usually call in advance the day of my appointment to see what their schedule looks like. Their system is also completely electronic — your phone number is synched to their computerized system so they know who you are/​who your pet is when you call to make an appointment without you having to state who it is. They also send you automatic email reminders for when your appointment is.
My puppy hates being groomed in general and is very nervous in nature (I got him from a shelter). When I told the staff this, they paid him extra attention and were very gentle with him. You can tell they genuinely love pets and take the time to do a good job.
They also have pet boarding services, dog walking, day-​care etc. But, I’ve never used these.

Ayal and Staff took wonderful care of my two Bassetts while we went away for a week! Thank-​you Barkingham Palace!

My dog lived here for a month when I first moved to the area and was looking for an apartment. The owner, Ayal, is very friendly and was very comforting for both myself and my dog. At the end of his stay, my dog had his nails trimmed and bathed — ready to go to his new home. Barkingham Palace is a top notch business.
