The Barking Lot

I take my chocolate lab here often to get a good bath and to get his nails trimmed. They are Amazing! they have great prices and the staff are all awesome! Had my cat shaved here as well. they did a awesome job and exactly what I wanted.

The Barking Lot Groom, is grrrooooming with not just puppy dog clients, the cats dig this service too.
I went the other day to check out prices for a friend and out ran an animal that looked like part tiger and part dog… I guess it was Charlie who just got a lion cut. He was so happy and he was so soft. He was really excited to see his mother and she paid all of a $ 40 for his sleek trim. At BLall cuts are done by hand. (see photos). His mother said she has been a client for years and totally recommends the services here, she know she can count on BL for the love and attention that Charlie needs.
Accordingly to the very nice grrrroomer there, BL has been around for 30 years, they are located in the Shawnessy area however which is really lucky for Shawnessy and surrounding residents because this groomer was one of the nicest people. She has been doing it for 9 years and really loves working with her clients but most of all the animals.
She mentioned so many things that I didn’t know, for example when an animal gets longer haired the hair can get matted which is can get really heavy for the animal. Also having a haircut allows oxygen to get into their scalp which is very important it helps maintain them physically and is just a natural thing that should be done every 3 or 4 months.
Prices here can range from $ 40 up to $ 200. She even took the time to show me before and after photos of the animals, which was so kind of funny because it was like a pictorial makeover series. First you saw the animal looking so ferociously furry and the next photo you don’t even recognise them, they look like another animal. What I saw from the photos however was very good work and the animal looked so much healthier and lighter.
The place has many grooming stations and is very clean; they have tons of clients and a food and product store just across the parking lot. The most impressive component for me is that the grooming is done by hand, no noisy trimmers and it just means more personable and caring service for the animal.
