Barking Beauties Pet Salon

I’m new to La Mesa and saw barking beauties on Unilocal had great reviews. I was anxious to see if they were as good as others said. I was definitely not let down. The place is clean and spacious. My dog came out happy and looking beautiful. Prices are reasonable for all they do and the time they spend. Sarah was my dog Missy’s groomer and was very patient with her. I could tell she loved animals from the first meet. Will definitely be back.

I love the staff and how they care for my pooch, Miko. She knows the routine when we get to Barking Beauties and walks right on back with the groomer. A wonderful bonus is the military discount they provide. That take care of my furry baby and take care of us military folk.

Oh how we absolutely L O V E the stellar service provided by Barking Beauties! I have a 3 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mixed with (what we believe is) Chicken, a 5 year old Chihuahua mixed with Sunshine and a 6 year old Tibetan Spaniel. They all absolutely go WILD when we visit BB! I’m telling you, it’s all in the dogs… Mine let me know, who, why, when, where and what when I’m not present… And they always come home HAPPIER than a bunch of fat kids with secret chocolate stash at a fat camp! :) My boys appreciate how gentle and patient the gals are with them and it absolutely shines through every visit! SOOOOO, I absolutely encourage anyone who’s completely in love with their furry family members to trust Vivian and the gals with their grooming needs… The pricing is phenomenally fair and you get so much more in return. Thank you Vivian, for running an integrity based establishment. It is always our absolute pleasure to drive down from Del Mar, because of the relationship you and your sweet staff have developed with the boys, it would be a dis service to them to take them any where else, they didn’t develop such a personal relationship with the groomers! :) It’s all in the dogs…

I absolutely LOVE this place. I have been taking my Pomeranian here for about a year and I literally refer everyone here. Sarah does an EXCELLENT job with my dog Bella. The staff are friendly and remember you pets name and things they like! I typically get a wash, nail clip, blueberry facial for her tear stains, teeth cleaning, hair cut and flea treatment for under $ 50! Bella always leaves happy!

Barking Beauties is the only place I like to have my pup groomed. The owner Vivian and all the staff know Alejandro and treat him like family! My baby always looks perfectly fluffy and amazing after his visit. He always gets the Pampered Pooch Package which includes a blueberry facial, nail filing and tooth brushing. As a matter of fact, Alejandro, my pup, won’t let me touch his mouth BUT Vivian is able to get in there and clean his pearly whites. This is super important to me especially because he’s on a wet food diet. I definitely recommend Barking Beauties!

Love, Love, Love this place. I’ve been bringing my lil 12 lb Schnoodle Jennifer Lopez (aka JLO) to Barking Beauties Pet Salon, they treat her as if she was the «real Jennifer Lopez» all the fur babies get A-​Star treament. I wouldn’t take her any place else. The groomers are top notch and JLO always comes out looking as though she just spent an afternoon being pampered and smelling grrrrreat!!. and the Bluberry Facial treatment is great The customer service is always the best, Vivian (owner) and her valuable employees always remember their customers and greet them with the warmest smile and so happy to see you & your pet/​baby they treat as if it was their own. And the prices are affordable. You cant beat Barking Beauties, Quality! Prices/​Affordability! Numero Uno.

My boyfriend and I have been here twice now for our puppy, Kato. I want to start off by saying that the people that run this place are awesome! The staff are friendly and have exceptional customer service! Our puppy is a little bit on the shy side and this last time we went when it was storming out. Yes, it’s the perfect time to take your puppy out to the groomers! We called and they were able to take Keito in for a bath, nail trimming and teeth cleaning. For the service and 25% tip we spent a little over $ 30 for our puppy. Keito is a smaller dog (a corgi, terrier, and chihuahua mix) so for the care they took on him, that was pretty darned cheap! They always put something cute on him and put a nice perfume as well. Our pup walked in shaking and scared, but walked out with a waggle in his tail and big smile on his face. We will be taking him back again when he needs another grooming. We know that he’ll be in great hands! The staff will kindly ask what you need, are patient, friendly and keep your pets calm and make them feel awesome afterwards! If you’re looking for a place to take your pup, I would recommend giving them a call just to see what they’re able to do for you and your pup :)

My little Maltese Sauvignon was rescued from a mill/​hoarding situation and it’s been a long road to to get him feeling like a loved pup. He was originally so matted that they had to shave him down and over the months the grow out became less manageable. I wanted to get him groomed but was worried about leaving him in the care of someone else for a long period of time. Lucky for me I was recommended to Barking Beauties! They were kind enough to fit us in day of and I was assured that he would be well cared for. I could tell he was nervous but he seemed trusting of his groomer. They were not only accommodating but expedient, I picked him up only a couple hours later. Sarah did an absolutely fantastic job! I couldn’t believe how handsome my little man was. He seemed in high spirits and not overwhelmed when I got him. I will gladly take him back for all future services! The pricing is extremely reasonable, the groomers are experienced and the lobby area is clean and presentable. Thrilled I took a chance on this little gem!

My maltipoo Mollie was treated like a princess here! The groomer was very nice and she came home with very cute american flag bows for the fourth of July. This was our first time going to Barking Beauties and we were impressed. They finished up quickly and they have good prices! They asked me exactly what we wanted for our Mollie and they did a great job! Its been a week and she still smells great! Mollie showed aggressiveness at the last groomer she went to before and she didn’t misbehave at all when she came here. This place defiantly deserves five stars!

I take my little prince Gucci here. He’s my maltese 2 year old. I’ve been coming to Viv the owner for a year and I absolutely love love her. She’s wonderful & the whole salon has an awesome vibe they all love animals truly care about our pets. I’m very picky when it comes to my Gucci but seeing how they treat him I would never go anywhere else. He’s always happy after leaving and gives her kisses. Thank you Viv & staff for his wonderful grooming! You’re A++++ in my book! Reasonable pricing & THE BEST SERVICE!

Thank you Debra you are a sensational groomer and I’ll recommend you and the shop wholeheartedly to everyone I know

I dropped off my shih tzu Sam, don’t judge, the other day and he wasnt in the best condition when I dropped him off but he looked awesome when I picked him up. Not sure who my groomer was but I’m sure they are all great.

I’ve been bringing my dog here since I got her. They were formerly Posh Poodle and now Barking Beauties. They always take such good care of my Yorkie. They never keep her more than a couple of hours and she always comes home smelling great with an adorable cut. We like them so much my parents have even started bringing their dogs over all the way from Chula Vista. Great service, affordable pricing and their dog boutique has some great stuff also!

So happy with our visits. My shih-​tzus are trimmed, clean, smell great, and are happy. The staff is friendly and flexible. I love that! Thanks. Bloom and Blossom always look terrific!

I love this place!!! Every time I bring my dog Jack here, he is treated with so much care and love. Everyone is so nice and professional. They all treat your pet like they are royalty:) Jack is older so they accommodate his needs and they take extra special care of him. He comes out looking like a brand new dog every time he comes here, we love them:)

Great grooming, caring groomers. I can’t promise your dog might not freak out anyway! I always opt for the spa pkg: nails, teeth, & blueberry facial for $ 10.

After today’s rain, my maltipoo, JoJo was a mess… I needed help quickly. The groomer I typically took him to couldn’t see him until Wednesday. that wasn’t going to work. I called Barking Beauties (formerly Posh Poodle) and was able to bring him in right away.
The staff was very attentive… asked me exactly what I wanted done… we discussed his matt situation (he had recently developed mats from a extended stay with a dog sitter while my husband and I were out of town) and decided he would get bathed, clipped (including private parts cleanup), nails clipped and filed, and his teeth brushed.
I am beyond happy with his cut and grooming! He looks adorable… and smells fabulous! I will definitely bring JoJo back here for his next grooming needs.
Thank you Barking Beauties!

This Pet Salon was formally known as Posh Poodle! With the change in ownership I think it became more awesome!
I take Otis (My 30 lb Terrier) in for regular grooming here, my dog is very shy and doesn’t like people touching him but he loves coming here. I was really anxious about taking him anywhere as a new pet owner, but he has been coming to the wonderful people at Barking Beauties for almost a year now and Vivian must have the magic touch because she says he is awesome for her.
The prices here are completely reasonable and you get can anything between a nail trim to a full groom with a facial. (And yes, I’m guilty, Otis gets the facial!).
Every time I come in with Otis he comes out with a new do — Mohawk, Clean Shave, Summer Cut, and today we walked away with the Donald Trump Special (A comb over)! I love the variety but you can always get a regular cut lol
Customer service is awesome, location is super convenient, prices are great.
I love this place and you will too!

I was so pleased with the customer service, the ladies are very nice and polite. Manly’s (my wire fox terrier) haircut was perfect! They listen to instructions well and deliver!
Thank you so much, I would be bringing manly back!
I highly recommend them!

$ 6 walk in nail trimming. Awesome! A cute new local business. I definitely plan on going back to take my Igor to get a bath. :)
