We have taken our 2 dogs to Petco and Pet Smart in the past, and were pretty disappointed. Our Walter came home all nicked up, ragged toe nails, and pretty agitated, (not to mention the high dollar they charged). After some searching, we found Barkabillies. Dawn and her husband, Kevin, are very warm and friendly, and they take the time to chat and get to know you. They love our 2 dogs and do an excellent job at bathing and grooming them. Our dogs run to their front door and can't wait to go in! For timid dogs and those who aren't used to being out in the public, this is the perfect quiet, out of the way- place. So peaceful and calming. Not a lot of interaction with other dogs. Our dogs always come out smelling and feeling clean and happy! Dawn grooms them like show dogs, and her prices are VERY reasonable. . We wouldn't go anywhere else! We highly recommend their services...be kind to your dog and bring them to Barkabillies!!
