Bark Shoppe is reliable, well staffed, and always has my dog’s coat shining (until she decides to eat a pound of dirt again)! The receptionist is great and looks out for you – they will always show you how to get the most out of your pet’s appointment for the best price. Thank you to Alex and the crew in the salon room – you always do your big one!

The Bark Shoppe, in Harlem, is a godsend for those of us with canine friends, in need of some TLC and a good bath, a spa day I would say.
Louise was in good hands with the staff and especially Juan, the bather and groomer. I didn’t even recognize our dog when I came to pick her up m, she was that clean.
I thought my god, she’s really that color?
Friendly, smart professional__they even figured out how to cut her nails, which is impossible!
We’ve also used their boarding services, consistently, friendly professional, staff.
To be honest with you, I think my dog and I are better received at the Bark Shoppe,  than I have been at some high-end restaurants and hotels. What a pleasure. Thank you!

I love The Bark Shoppe. I’ve been coming here for 4 years now. I have a 15lb male CavaPoo and keeping him groomed is a necessity. This week we had the best experience with a groomer named Jeff and Tori from the front desk. Everyone was very professional and handled my dog with care. Jeff listened to my concerns around my pet’s nail trimming and asked me the right questions on how I prefer him groomed. Jeff even helped me decide what length was best for my curly haired dog considering that I’m a low maintenance owner, but we need to prevent matting. The grooming was excellent! My pets coat was so soft and shiny. Jeff even tackled small details like his tear stains when most groomers fall short. The ambiance of The Bark Shoppe has a boutique feel and the facilities are very clean. When it was time for pickup I loved that I received a personal text from Tori 30 min prior & then was greeted at the door with a smile. I’ve recommended The Bark Shoppe to many friends / fellow pet parents and will continue to do so! Great job!
