Barkin’dales

Great first experience here with my sweet dog Tina. Very nice ladies and they handled my senior boxer mutt with care and obvious experience!

Just moved into the neighborhood and took my boyfriends dog in for a full service + nail clipping. The shop is adorable and the vibe very calm and friendly. The ladies working were so sweet, one named Karen I believe. Everyone seemed kind and I had no reservations leaving my fur baby with them. I will be recommending this place and returning! Thank you.

I have been calling businesses around San Diego to see if they had any spots available for the past couple of day’s for my puppy’s haircut. He weighs about 3lbs and all he really needed was a trim because his longish hair kept getting in his eyes. So now Sunday afternoon comes around, about 4pm and i come across this place which just happens to be 2 streets over from me. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are open until 6pm on Sundays and so I grab Toby and decide to make a quick stop. The ladies there were super welcoming to both of us, which doesn’t happen too often in small businesses when you come around close to closing time (especially on a Sunday). I explained what I was looking for and although they didn’t have the time to give Toby his trim tonight, they offered to trim up his face so he can see better and finish up everything else on Wednesday afternoon which worked out PERFECTLY! His face looks so much better and cleaner, and the customer service we received was fantastic! I’m excited to see what they can do on Wednesday :)

This place is awesome! I washed my 2 dogs on my visit, and Libby was very helpful and made my experience fun! It’s very clean, plenty of towels and brushes, and excellent blow dryers! I’m definitely going back.

They always do a fantastic job! Friendly, accommodating, and fast. My dog always smells and feels fantastic after … And he knows it too :)

I took my little guy in for a nail trim last weekend. We were a walk in but it was fast and easy. He hates me touching his paws but the lady said he was awesome with her. I will definitely keep coming for full service washes and nail trims.

I live super close and they always take «walk-​ins»
I have a tiny 3 pound rescue dog and coco is terrified of everyone and everything, this is truly the only place I can take her for a nail trim, wash, or gland cleaning!
EVERY GIRL THERE IS SO NICE, I wouldn’t go anyplace else!

Love this place! Defiantly the best prices compared to the other self serve places. I live on the double dog discount.

This place was recommended to my boyfriend and I and after taking our dog here, we’ll be recommending it to our friends too! The girls were so accommodating and sweet! We were able to squeeze in same day on a cancellation! Our dog hates water and bath but he seemed very happy when we picked him up! He was so clean and soft and had a cute little bandana. It was our first time taking him to the groomer’s and we won’t be going anywhere else. Great customer service and a clean, cute store!

Love this place! Workers super friendly. Bought a groupon for my little Maltese Spike. Booked an appointment for a hair cut but they scheduled for a bath, so they gave him a free wash instead, which they did a really good job. We wash and wash him but I don’t know what they used but his fur was so white and smelled oh so delish!!!
So we had to rescheduled, but they scheduled me on Easter day which they called back to cancel and had to re book for another day. The day finally came for a hair cut (a month later then original date) they s
aid he had a lot of knots in his fur so it’s going to be extra 10 dollars. It was understandable, But when I came to get him they said it was on the house b/​c of all the hassle they put me through. I mean I understand we have human errors but they made sure I left happy which I did! Will be back for all spikes grooming needs. P. s they are the only groomer who was able to trim his lil whiskers which gets so dirty and he does not like anyone to touch it

My 15 mo chihuahua/​Schnauzer mix got his 1^st professional grooming service today. I opted for the package which came w a bath, cut (style recommendation), nail clip, & anal gland release for $ 45. My dog’s fur is kind of wiry, so the groomer made me aware of how much thinner my dog would look without the bulk of his textured fur. I asked her to leave the whispers on his face & tail, & I was pleased that she remembered. I came in to pick him up & he looked so happy & cozy on the receptionist’s lap, waiting for me w a cute bandana around his neck! The groomer gave me a short report on which sensations he was nervous about; the buzzing of the clipper & the pressure of the nail clipper on the first few. All in all, this was a fun experience & now my Whiskee doesn’t pick up weeds & thorns all over. The facility was clean, high energy, and stocked full of treats & toys for doggie noses to shop for.

This is an AMAZING place. The employees are super sweet and my dog looks great every time we go there. The groomer does exactly what I ask for and does a great job. The place is very clean. Absolutely recommend.

Our two dogs and their humans love Barkin’dales! Everyone who works here is so sweet, and both our dogs have a good time here — even our not-​so-​friendly American Eskimo. We love the very reasonably priced treats and outfits they sell here, too.

We purchased a Groupon for Barkin’dales and took our small terrier mix in for grooming. Very friendly and a great cut. Whatever products they use are not overly scented, which is nice (and I’m sure nice for the dog). She listened to exactly what I wanted and didn’t overdo it. Will definitely be back!

Took two small terriers in for a bath on short notice. Fantastic job, friendly staff, nice place with lots of other things for the pups
Made the dogs fresh and clean again! One dog was a Westie and they made him white again!!!

Our dogs were groomed there and they did a very nice job at a reasonable price. For a Golden Doodle and Yorkie wash, cut and nails it was $ 95. They had availability within the week and the dogs were done within 3 hours. They came back smelling fresh and looking good.

I have been wanting to take my lpug here as getting him groomed at Petsmart was becoming pricey for the little work he needed done.
I am the kind of person who prefers to call ahead to see if it’s what I’m looking for to prevent myself from wasting a trip. Unfortunately, I have tried calling the store 3 different times during the listed hours of operation and each time no answer.
Easy way to lose a customer :(
Hopefully I will be able to update this with a better review if I ever do hear back.

Stopped in the other day to check the place out, looks like a nice little community dog grooming spot. Had several questions about pricing and such, and the staff seemed really friendly.
Special discount price if you groom 2 dogs… half off the second pup i believe.
I look forward to trying them out sometime soon and seeing for myself, if they are really as good as they appear.
Updated Review Pending … haha

Do not truat the reviews here. I did and I regret it.
I regret bringing my dog here to get groomed. The groomer was a woman named Diana. She nicked my dog and was unapolagetic. I understand accidents happen but show the customers that you care. She is very rude. Ontop of nicking my dog she triedto deny it. I tried to contact the owner but was told she was too busy and that the owner could not help me due to she is an independent worker. Avoid this place. Grooming was mediocre nothing special. For grooming skills I believe diana is at apprentice level. Overall very rude staff. Go somewhere else.

I started bringing my dogs here when I couldn’t get a hold of my groomers and found that they were closed most of the times that I’m available. I’d say it was a GREAT change! This place is so much closer to where I live and I’m so glad they’re open on the weekends. I’ve gone in twice so far and every time, someone was able to help me right away.
I have 2 picky chihuahuas and I bring them in for nail trims. ($ 7 each)
(On Rolando Blvd.) Parking is limited but not impossible. They have 2 hour parking right in front of the store (more than enough time in my opinion) and then there’s parking in the nearby neighborhood (just a few steps away)
