"I'm so sorry you feel this way. We always go over the pets with our customers at drop off to discuss the condition and style you want, this was done and you were informed of Lucy's very matted condition and though we will try are best to give you what you want that she may have to go short all over. We never hurt or cause excessive stress to any dog or cat by de-matting for the sake of "style" sometimes you just have to start over. Our first priority is the pets comfort and when a dog is heavily matted all over we do the right thing but not without telling you the owner first. Again I'm sorry you felt this way and not every groomer is the right fit so I wish Lucy & you good luck finding the right groomer"

"Hello & thank you for your review. I check as to who groomed your dog last time and that person no longer works for us, that being said had we been notified of you dis-satisfaction of the grooming we would have tried to remedy the issue. As to the store itself I'm not sure what you mean it "Had a factory feel"? That's truly the first time we have ever heard that. One of the major reasons people come to us is that we have a family feel so I'm sad you felt that way. I think if you tried us again you would be very pleased."

"Thank you for your review! We take these reviews very seriously so I am happy to have the chance to respond. When this customer put in the request via Angies List I didn't receive it for 2 weeks do to it going to my junk mail, this was totally out of our control but we do apologize for the delay. As to the cut, when a pet is very matted we always try to relay to the owners that we do not De-Mat dogs for the sake of vanity, that was the issue in this case however the groomer may not have relayed this as well as should have been. Our desire is always give the customer what they want if it is doable, we are not "Shavers" by any means. We always hope to make everyone happy but our priority is the animals health and well being. We thank you for your business in the past and do to service area we no longer service this area so I hope you have found a groomer that suits your needs."

The van comes to the house and does the service right there. If the price was better we would do it more often. Kristy is a lovely person. It only takes an hour.
Response from Bark Life
"Thank you so much for your review! We always strive to make each customer happy & Christy is great. We hope you felt you received a good value for our service as we do come right to your home & your pup has individual attention from Christy. As to the price, we have added fuel & insurance cost with the mobile as apposed to the salon plus because of driving in traffic between customers it does limit how many we can groom a day. I do always like to explain a few reasons as to the price. We look forward to taking care of your pet(s) for years to come~"

Tammy was very prompt in responding to my email questions. When I was ready to book I was able to get an appointment in two days.. I have an old arthritic 95 pound dog and he cannot endure going to facility for grooming anymore.. Christy came with mobile van. She was very sweet and very professional. She finished in one hour and did a fantastic job. I have been very reluctant to have any grooming done lately due to his arthritis but am very happy I tried Bark Life. I will use them again and highly recommend them.

"I'm sorry but we have never gotten a call from anyone with this name??? We call all of our messages within the same day most times within the hour. I'm not sure what number you have called but it couldn't have been our number. 727-399-3647 is our store number. We hope you try again at the correct number. Thank you"

It was first grooming for our new wheaten/poodle mix. We love him long and curly but knew he needed a trim. We used a diff mobile groomer for years for our other dogs, but since they passed away in the fall we have not used. We decided to try a different service  for our new little guy and searched Angies list. I must say, from the receptionist to final grooming apt with Christie,it was a pleasure. Very customer friendly. Christie was a delight! And she was finished fast.......I am used to it taking longer. The best cut I have ever seen. Barkley is mischievous but well behaved. I think he actually enjoyed himself while being groomed.What I also like is that Bark Life's van can easily fit in our driveway vs other services parking out in the street. All in all we are very happy. My husband was particularly pleased that Barkley still looked very cute after his cut. Great job Christie!

If you ever have to talk to the owner, do so like you are a child or you will be kick out too.
Response from Bark Life
"Just about everything in this report is UN-true The customer called Yelling and using VERY Inappropriate language. He thought he had an appointment that day and it wasn't for 2 more weeks, he didn't even allow us to look him up in our computer, I retrieved his info by caller ID. I tried to talk to him but he preferred to call me names and curse at me. In the end he threatened us with personal and professional harm. We had to call the Sheriffs Dept. and file a complaint. In 20+ years of business I've never had to file a complaint on a customer. And as a side note, the price of $250 that was listed was for all 4 of this customers dogs. We always try to make every customer happy but unfortunately you can't always do so ."

It’s a small local business. I really like them. They are really good. The staff is great. I would definitely go 100 times to visit them. No problem. It’s a pet store. They also have grooming but I have not used their grooming services. In fact I will be going there tomorrow. They have competitive pricing with the big stores. They keep only organic brands and are very completive in that regard. They are very knowledgeable about the products that they sell. If they don’t have it; they tell me this is good for my pet and the pet need it. They actually tell me about it and that is what I like about it. Elsewhere they will only tell me what their products are. It’s really nice. It’s hard to find good people like that. If I find them I tend to stick with them.

"Wow! We are so honored and humbled by your kind words. I and our staff always try to help in anyway we can and it's wonderful to hear that it is received so wonderfully. We look forward to serving all of you & your pets needs for many years to come."

Bark Life groomed my dog and dried him. Also, they washed my cat. Both my animals hate being groomed, so I am sure it was not fun for the worker. But they got it done!

Kristy was prompt, professional and pleasant.  Both dogs seemed very happy with her.  Kristy cleaned their ears and clipped their nails in addition to the bath.
