Barking Lot

The Barking Lot took in all three of my dogs at the same time for nail trimmings, a total of 140 pounds of dog! :) For such a good deal of a price they clipped each of my dogs’ nails, buffed them and also trimmed their paw pads with no extra charge. My two big dogs were not too thrilled with the process but the staff here were so patient and friendly in working with each dog. Great visit and I’m definitely satisfied!

Long delayed review. I have been taken my dog here for over a year now. It’s about 5 minutes from my house via 780. The staff are friendly and they have regular customers. The place is clean, well-​ventilated, and odor-​free. Chris has been my dog’s groomer. She will try her best to get you an appointment. Rates are reasonable and worth it. It usually takes about 2.5 to 3 hours for drop-​off and return. They are flexible too about pick-​up times. My dog smells c-​l-​e-​a-​n after every visit. Thanks Barking Lot for the good service.

I have been taking my dog Boston, a sheltie to the Barking Lot located in Vallejo, CA on Benicia Road for the past three years now. Sharon, the owner is very polite and does professional work. Before I found out about the Barking Lot, I use to bath and groom Boston myself, because I didn’t feel that the groomers in the past did a good job.
I have been bathing and grooming Boston since he was a puppy up until he was seven years old. At around that time, I started to have experience back pains on and off and I started to have a hard time bending over to bath him in the bath tub at the self-​cleaning dog wash facility. So I started to take him to a few of the groomers in the area; however, when he came back home, I didn’t feel he was either not clean properly, his nails where not cut, or they didn’t give him the sanitation cut or didn’t do it the way I wanted them too.
I did a bit of research and decided to try Sharon out at the Barking Lot. After three visits, I decided to let her become his official groomer. She is so good with Boston and he looks so handsome when he comes back from being groomed.

I can’t say enough about the kindness and professionalism of the staff here. I have been going for years with multiple dogs and they have always been fantastic. Now, I don’t have any fancy grooming going on, so I can’t comment to that level. I know there are some breed standards in place … but for me I just need my dog cleaned up nicely with some trimming as needed. They do a fine job with this and are just so pleasant to deal with that I would recommend them to everyone.

If I could give the Barking Lot 10 + stars they would deserve everyone! Sharon was an absolutely good hearted person who helped me out in a pinch with a foster dog I had agreed to foster and she was a horrible matted mess. Sharon cleaned her up, trimmed her nails, made her smell so nice and put a great bow on her head. I can’t say enough nice things about the Barking Lot, other than if you want the best this is the place to go!

I have a cockpoo named Cici and it was time for a haircut. I called to make an appointment the lady that answered the phone was very pleasant. My hubby dropped Cici off and explained it was her first grooming. She came home looking like a totally different dog. She no longer looked like a puppy. I loved the fact that they called during the appointment to let us know how she was doing. They quoted us 2.5 hours and she was done in 2. Loved that. We will definitely be going back to the. Barking lot.

I decided to try a new groomer as I haven’t been pleased with my usual place.
And boy am I glad I called the Barking Lot!
The owners name is Sharon and she is the nicest most down to earth Lady I have met in a long time. She was very sweet and patient with my dog Gizmo and when He was finished He looked just great, exactly what I was hoping for.
Their prices are reasonable too.
I would highly recommend you give them a try.

I have been going there for 6 years. I trim and wash my dog at home as he is small with shorter hair. But I would not let anyone besides Kris cut his nails. I used to have the vet do it. They charged over $ 20. The vet would take the dog ‘in the back’ and I could hear him screaming. The nails often bled too.
My dog hates the procedure, and still Unilocal at bit. But Kris and her husband are so caring, they treat the dogs with real respect, and I can watch. The cost for his nails is only $ 7, I always give them $ 10 because I am so happy. They do a great job with grooming too, I can see the finished dogs waiting to be picked up.
Nothing but a great experience every time I go !

my first visit to Barking Lot my pooch was 4 months old. I was beyond happy when it was time to pick him up. What a transformation, my Ozzy was now Oswald ;-)
Ozzy is now 7 months old and I will continue to take him to Sarah.
Wish I could post before and after pictures.
