Bark N Wash

I took my puppy to get groomed at bark and wash to get a summer cut, but they recklessly gave him a shave around his bottom area. So after he got groomed, he was licking his bottom area and scratching it, so worryingly I took him to Petsmart, and they noticed few cuts around his bottom area. It has been 5 days since he got groomed, but he is still struggling because of all the cuts around his anal. This was my first visit here, and I was hoping to have them as my groomer for my puppy. But since this accident happened I don’t think I will go back here.

Fabulous place! Conveniently located next to the Cherry Creek dog park, locally owned & operated. Great prices, options & most importantly knowledgable 5star staff that treat your 4 legged companions with respect, compassion & quality care.

After a long day at the park, playing in the water and rolling in the sand, this place is a must! I love being able to have the option of a self wash or a professional wash. It’s fun for me to come and wash my dog, even though I know she doesn’t love it yet (she will). The tubs make it easy to wash/​dry your dog. The price includes, the towels, soap, brushes/​grooming tools. The people working here are really awesome. Every time I have come here they have offered me help. They are really fun and friendly! Lot’s of fun things for purchase in the store front as well. :)

Bark n wash does great service and takes such great care of my little maltipoo. Definitely would recommend to others.

Friendly staff, sometimes a bit of a wait but worth it after a fun time at Cherry Creek with my pup. Wish they would have a couple extra wash basins but otherwise solid spot. Can’t comment on anything else since we’ve only done the self-​wash, but will be back!
Ps check in on Unilocal for a coupon!

Every time we go here the staff is so friendly & helpful!!! The owner is a great guy. They are so good with all 3 of my dogs– They love going here, even though they hate bath time…

Highly recommend Greg for anyone with a fearful dog. My 45 lb dog is very fear aggressive when having her toenails trimmed. He does an amazing job at keeping the situation calm and collected so her nails are trimmed quickly and she is safe in the process. (She has a tendency to twist and struggle during this process and I used to worry about injuries occuring.) The rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful and the environment is clean and welcoming.

I needed a groomer that would work with my dog that does not tolerate being brushed! My vet recommended Bark N Wash, so I thought I’d give it a try. I stopped in without Sadie first and talked to Greg, the owner. He was at the front desk and explained that they would try to make sure Sadie was comfortable and not experiencing anxiety before they would start to groom her. I made an appt and today was the day! Greg was there and handled Sadie very professionally. I am very happy with this shop and will be a regular customer with both of my doggies!

Took my 3 dogs in for full service wash appx 2.5 months ago. When I got there Greg, owner, explained the process and gave me the correct pricing. My dogs hadn’t been groomed in almost 7 months and were in really bad shape. They took a longer than the quoted time, but they looked amazing. Greg gave me more information on the self wash service.
I took all 3 today for a self wash. The staff was extremely courteous. Greg showed me how to groom and bathe my newfie mix. My 7yr old daughter was helping bathe the 2 little ones with immediate staff support. I saved a lot of money and benefited from the staff and expertise. This place was definitely above and beyond in customer service, knowledge and overall. I highly recommend them!

Don’t take your dog here! Wish I can give a 0 star for this place. Felt bad for advising my sister to take her dog to this establishment. Thinking it will have a great reputation since it’s in the piney creek area. Bad choice!!!
We dropped off her dog at 9 AM as advised. Then, 3 hours later she got a call from a male that he didn’t know what to do with her dog. You waited 3 hours to tell her that you didn’t know what to do with her dog??? Are you kidding me??? Then, we came to pick up her dog and the cut was a joke!!! Uneven cut and it was so mediocre! It looks like a 7 year old giving this dog a cut! And they charged her $ 60??? Are you out of your mind???
Stay away from this place!!!

We recently adopted a five year old Pomeranian. We took him here, showed them a picture of what we wanted and we got it 100%. They were so friendly too! We will definitely be back. *to my knowledge it was not a super easy style we wanted for our little guy and there wasn’t a hair out of place. And he was happy and calm when we picked him up. :-)

This was the most upsetting thing I have ever been through with a business. I have been going to this groomer for years. I think they must have changed management. I won’t go into the long story but suffice to say like a previous review they would not listen to me and when I asked how they came up with their price on my dog they would not listen to my explanation on what I was trying to ask. 2 people then a groomer got involved in speaking rude to me and I left in tears. Then I got a call at home from the owner who called me to tell me how horrible I am. The last thing she said to me is «you’re crazy» 3 people yelling at a customer and then the owner. This used to be one of the best groomers in Aurora but I am almost certain there is a new owner or something. It has gone way downhill. They never ever have treated me this way a year ago and earlier. I also paid $ 80 plus a $ 15 tip, I don’t know why I left a tip after that treatment but I am a good tipper. This was not one of his best grooms either.
Update– My groom was terrible and I did take my dog back in to give them a chance to fix it after first asking for my money back. The people who were rude were not there when I went back in and they were nicer that time, however, they muzzled him. He was upset about getting groomed twice in two days and it was a very hot day. He was panting really hard when we got home but recovered. I got a $ 20 discount because my dog was in terrible shape. Normally, I would give credit for trying to fix him but I still won’t go back and I would have been a bit happier about their fixing the issue had the muzzling issue not take place. He was having difficulties breathing. This experience was a disaster from beginning to end. I don’t know why this happened but I just have to go somewhere else. Just wanted to be transparent and update.

They were the most geniunely kind helpful people. The owner and her family were very happy. I recommend taking your dogs here because I would trust them to take good care of them.
The employees were very helpful when it came to finding out how to use the products such as Doggie shampoo, face wash, conditioner, Dryer extra and the whole service is very affordable and they also give 3 $ off your first wash!

The self grooming tubs are nice but the groomers are not good. They don’t listen to what you ask for. I just picked up my dog that I asked to have shaved to a 10blade and he had 1 inch hair all over his body (that is how long he was when I dropped him off) — his eyes had not been cleaned and I had to come home and take scissors to his feet, face and tail. Now I have to pay double to get him groomed properly.

I have been using there service the past 2 years since they provided fast service and great customer service. However, after today, I am the most dissatisfied customer. Ive dropped off my dog at 9am, contacted the business at 1:30pm to see if my dog was close to done with his grooming. Comes to find out his grooming was going to take another 2 hours. It all went downhill after I’ve asked the owner if it usually takes 5 hours for a groom? The owner was displeased with my question and started yelling at me and that I should of came for a service during the weekdays if I wanted faster service. Seriously? Thanks but no thanks! I will take my business elsewhere.

Great place for a quick dog washing. My daughter and I went in to wash our dog and the owner was super nice, giving my daughter a step-​stool and walking us through everything. After the wash a groomer came over and clipped the dog’s nails. It was MUCH better than fighting my dog at home and cleaning up the mess in my bathtub. I will definitely go back!

This was a great experience for me and one of the dogs I sit for. With recent rain and mud the 80 pound golden doodle desperately needed a bath before her parents picked her up. This is the only place on a 20 mile radius. When I arrived, the owner (I think) greeted my daughter and I, giving us a tour and overview of the place. Once comfortable I retrieved the dog. He helped get her into the tub and explained what to do, where to start and gave a lot of helpful pointers. This was my first time with this dog, let alone the first time giving her a bath. They provide the shampoo (regular and tearless), grooming tools, towels, and a blow dryer that works very efficiently. The price was exceptional. Small world? This gentleman is the groomer of one of the other dogs I sit. Great place. I will be returning with my dogs and other borders!

This was my 1^st time here and my last. If my dog wasn’t needing a bath today, I would have walked out as soon as I saw the place. The floor was covered with dozens of fur balls, even with the place empty. The shampoo was cheap based on the enormous amount I had to use on my dog. I had to ask for conditioner. I received what smelled like overly sweet blueberries and it turned out to be shampoo. I was disappointed as my dog turned sudsy for a 2^nd time. There were also no options for shampoo or conditioner as far as scent or skin type. It also would have been helpful to have a washcloth to clean my dog’s face. The only redeeming quality was that staff were nice.

Went here for the first time this weekend. The Petsmart down the street told us about this place. The woman that greeted us asked if we had ever been there before. When we said that this was our first time, she walked us through the process.
We were in the midst of washing our Sheplaberman, when the co-​owner offered some great advice on what we were doing. Best bath my buddy has had in a long time! They give you all the tools, and an apron to «try» to remain dry.
The place is clean, staff was knowledgeable and friendly. When we checked out, we were given $ 3 off, a punch card, and the lowdown on their frequent washer plan. We will be back!

Loved this place! Good price for self service dog wash, clean, well put together and above all fantastic and helpful staff! Will definitely frequent this business.
