Clip N Clean

When I called, the lady was really nice and they were able to take my dog right away. I was kinda nervous when I dropped him off because they didn’t ask his name or even for my name, just had me «sign in» and write our names on a sign in sheet with my phone number and told me to be back at 3. The prices were and they did a pretty good job. He smells great, too!

This place was recommended by someone. I figured I would try them out having recently moved back to the area. My lab needed a nail trim. I was greeted at the door and by a woman and then waited for a gentleman from the back to come trim the nails. He came and didn’t really greet my dog or get to know him and make him comfortable. I know he probably trims a lot of nails but it was clear my dog was nervous. The shop itself kind of felt run down, which I could overlook if the nail trim had been a better experience. It was a very uncomfortable. Upon further review he even missed a nail or two.

I’ve been bringing my dog here for 10 years. In the last year I now have 2 dogs and they take such good care of them. They always know our dogs by name! The owner Lynette is the best.

I had to dog sit for a few months and needed to get my grandmothers maltipoo groomed. I was told by a friend to take her here because they do a great job. I would say I came here about four times. The last experience was not very good. I came to pick up around 6:30 pm. As I always do, I asked the girl at the counter if there were any problems with her, as she can be very whiny and bark a lot. She didn’t look at me, just said «nope». They were about to close so I paid and went right home. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed my dog could not open her right eye. It looked very swollen and gunky. I called the shop and no one answered. I left a message so at least to inform them that something was wrong with my dog’s eye and she was fine when I had dropped her off that morning. I was pretty upset that no one informed me that something was wrong when I went to pick her up. I went right back at 7:30 am the next day in hopes to talk to someone about it. Luckily, the owner was there. I informed her about what happened and that I didn’t know what to do. Did she just get shampoo in her eyes? A hair? Should I just take her into the vet? She was very nice and informed me that she most likely got shampoo in her eye and that it would be OK. She said if her eye didn’t clear up within the next day, to take her into the vet and bring back the invoice so they could reimburse me. I told her thank you and that I would contact her if I had to take her in. Luckily I had eye drops left from my other pup and I used that in her eye. Within two days it cleaned up. I believe the owner of this shop is a great person and cares for the animals. I am upset that no one told me something was wrong with her eye, which was not the owners fault… that was her employees fault. The owner deserves your business. Just be weary that the other people who handle your pets aren’t very reliable and don’t care to examine your pets (or tell you about the condition of your pets if something goes wrong)

The people were really nice and took great care of my dog. They trimmed her hair perfectly and took walk ins. The only reason they are not five star is because their facility while clean and nice could use a bit of an upgrade.
I will definitely go back.

I bring my 3 dogs for boarding and grooming all the time. At first, the dogs were hesitant to be left, but after a couple of stays they run into the play room as soon as they step in the door. The staff is great, they make me feel like they take care of my dogs like one of their own. Grooming is always what we ask. And they are always accommodating of our last minute schedule requests. One minor gripe — sometimes it takes a little calling around to get a hold of someone. If you call the number listed on their answering machine, you almost always get to talk to a live person.

The employees treat my dog like family. The owner is very nice and is constantly working to help unwanted dogs and the Humane Society. A couple of years ago, we adopted a rescue dog. She had some minor issues which the owner was very helpful with. We went to another dog training place and they treated us like second class citizens. The business is in a great location, so I’m able to walk my dog there, drop her off for a few hours, and walk home, which is an ideal combination. It would be nice if there was outdoor space for the dogs and a webcam, but I’m sure the rent is much higher in this rather residential neighborhood than it is in the industrial/​business areas that the other day-​cares/​boarding facilities are located in, so it’s totally understandable; yards are expensive here. I recommend this place to my friends and neighbors.

The employees at The Bark Plaza genuinely seem to love dogs. Having said this, it is my opinion that some of the employees seemed lazy and apathetic. I noticed employees more interested in browsing the internet than caring for the dogs. When I dropped our small dog off, I had to mention to the kennel attendants that there was dog poop in the middle of the floor (while eight other dogs were played). They also allowed huge dogs to run loose with tiny dogs. I don’t find that very safe, especially if the attendants are pre-​occupied with the internet.

We brought our Rottweiler here for his first grooming experience. We were worried that he would be difficult because he was so scared but the staff was wonderful. They assured me he was going to be fine and it was no problem. They took amazing care of him. He’s clean and happy and even has a bandana to show for it! I definitely recommend them.

I love this shop. The owner is amazing and so incredibly knowledgeable. Her long time clients call her «The Dog Whisperer». I bring my boxer to her for grooming and for boarding. My boxer has extreme anxiety and this is the only place that she can stay where I get her back calm and happy from her visit.
I happened to stop by and read the below review to the owner of this business. The owner of the dog in question was in active communication with Lynette during their dog’s illness. In fact, the owner stated in an email to Lynette that he was NOT going to write a bad review due to Lynette’s concern and active involvement in wanting to know what was going on with his dog. So why the neighbor took it in their hands to write a bad review without giving all the information is beyond me. As a proud client of this business, I’m offended that someones neighbor took the liberty to speak for another person. Rather unethical.
I say meet this business owner. She’s very kind, loves animals and would always step in and be concerned if any dog was ill after their visit with her.
This is the ONLY kennel in Pierce County with open fenced kennels so that the dogs can be watched and protected over the night. This hotel takes in show dogs and champion breeders. It services the whole of the North Proctor district, and many military families. The bulk of this business’s clientele have been with her for years.
I love The Bark Plaza Hotel. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.
