Bark’s & Bubbles Dog & Cat Grooming

We used to take our 55lbs mixed Shepard to Barks and Bubbles. Evelyn was so gentle with our elderly dog (who didn’t like to bathe). It’s been three years since our first dog passed away, I’m thrilled to know that Barks and Bubbles is still open and I look forward to taking our new dog there.

Evelyn is the best! she’s been grooming our dogs for almost 20 years since we moved to Westchester. she is patient and friendly. she accommodates our requests and her hours are very convenient. our dogs come back happy, clean and well groomed!

Never again. I spent 55 dollars to have my dog traumatized. I now have to spend another 55 somewhere else to have his haircut (what’s left) fixed. He was cut twice and was left unfinished with patches of hair. He’s a rescue Maltese mix with seperation anxiety. I’ve had him groomed fine before but he didn’t like the groomer. Maybe it was how she treated him. I don’t know I wasn’t there. Anyways. Just because he Crys is no excuse for him to come home traumatized and cut. And she still charged me 55. Never again.

They did a excellent job on my dog today! Great service and they are really friendly. This is definitely going to become my regular spot to get my dog groomed.

I love taking my Nala to Evelyn. She always does a great job and makes my high strung little white terrier feel at ease. She looks terrific when I pick her up and Evelyn always gives her a treat when we leave. GREAT PLACE!

My dog always looks great with a. nice bow on him when I pick him up. The staff has always been friendly and seem to know what they’re doing. Much better than Petco or other local groomers I’ve been to. Barks & Bubbles doesn’t overcharge like other places.

O.M.G. My dog looks ridiculous. I feel so bad because the woman was so sweet, but I would be doing a disservice if I kept quiet about this. I had no idea grooming was a science until I picked my dog up from here. Her coat is about 20 different lengths and she has some long scraggly pieces poking out. It looks like she has stripes. Clearly the groomer needs to go to grooming school or pick another profession. I made an appointment with our regular groomer in Irvine to *hopefully* take care of this mess. Makes me really appreciate our regular groomer. :(Sorry to the nice lady that helped me. I hope things get better.

Really, really pleased with how great my pup looked after a full bath/​grooming here! They took my dog in on a Saturday afternoon with little notice (3 hrs) …and when i picked him up, he looked fabulous & was happy. They put a cute blue bow on him also! Pricing is comparable to other groomers. and a big plus is that we can walk from Playa Vista in minutes (just up the hill from LMU). We’ll continue to bring our dog here from now on.

Moved into the area recently. Been here twice, and have had two great experiences. The owner is super nice. Last time the cut wasn’t quite long enough. We called, and they said bring him back anytime and they would trim to our liking. That’s the customer service which makes this worthy of 5 stars. About the reviewer upset that your dog was getting barked at? GET OVER IT!!!

I usually take my 2 year-​old shih tzu to Barks & Bubbles for his monthly groom. The store owner is very sweet, and I believe she is a one-​person operation. The store hours are very limited, but if you make an appointment a few days in advance, you’re usually good to go. I have had luck getting my pup in on the same-day…but it’s always a better idea to plan ahead… a week if possible so that you know you’ll get the appointment time you want. This is a really small operation, with maybe 6 or so kennels for the dogs to hang out in while they wait. This definitely doesn’t seem like the kind of place for large dogs, but I don’t have one, so I guess I can’t really say.
The owner seems to handle my dog very carefully and he is never hesitant to go to her. Definitely a good sign. I found the place because I had just moved to Culver City and tried taking my dog to Petsmart for a groom. My dog literally wouldn’t walk to the back with the groomer, which he had never done, so I hightailed it out of there. Barks & Bubbles fit us in right after that ordeal and we have been happy customers ever since. The prices can been a little high if you’re just looking a simple bath… but if you’re in the market for a full groom, the rates are competitive.

Worst experience ever for my dog. Let me reiterate: WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
Got a coupon in the mailer for this place so I thought I’d give it a try. Started off fine… I dropped off my dog and let them know I wanted her to be bathed and trimmed.
4 hours later, I got the call that she was ready. I went to pick up what I thought would be my clean pup who just got her hair did. I parked and from INSIDE my car, it sounded like all hell had broken loose as there were several dogs barking up a storm. My dog never barks. Not when somebody is at the door, not at strangers, not at other dogs, never. I ran inside to find a huge, unleashed, out-​of-​control dog standing on its hind legs with it’s paws up on my toy yorkie’s cage barking at her. This dog had at least 100lbs on mine. Mine was backed into the corner barking back.
The owner did nothing to stop the large dog and when I asked shockingly «what’s going on??», she just chuckled. Really? Clearly this had been going on for some time. I grabbed my clean but untrimmed pup, begrudgingly paid her ridiculous fee and left before she was eaten for lunch.
When I drop my dog off to be groomed, I expect her to come back clean. I want the grooming to be a positive experience for my dog not a terrorizing one. I shouldn’t have to worry about her safety when I drop her off. Never again will I go to this place. Not only was it expensive but the people who work here obviously have no idea about dogs and they don’t know how to handle them.
Go down the street to Petco for a much cheaper, much better, much nicer groom instead.
I hate that my first review had to be for this crappy place.

I’ve been going here for years. I’ve actually never seen anyone but the owner in the shop. They are reasonably priced and my dog always seems happy and well cared for when I pick her up. But then again, she is 18 years old and she’s blind an deaf.
