Beth’s Barks N Bubbles

I’ve been taking my 3 dogs here for 2 years now, and really love how Beth and her team take care of them. All 3 are rescues, one is super timid, and they take special care with her to keep her relaxed. Cuts are perfect, dogs are happy, can’t ask for more!

Though this was only my second experience with a professional groomer, I can easily say that my previous experience was markedly better than the one I had at Beth’s.
The pro here was the flexible options for appointments — they open Saturdays and were able to squeeze my little guy in the weekend before Thanksgiving. This was the primary reason I chose to go to Beth’s.
However, that was about the only pro I am able to find. Although I did not have a positive experience here, I was able to see a few owners retrieve their pets and a number of them did look pretty cute on the way out.
My reason for the lower rating: I found the groomers here to be judgmental and somewhat rude. Context: my dog was pretty darn scruffy when I brought him in, and yes he was matted. However, I brought my dog in to a previous groomer in this exact condition, if not worse, and he came out great, the littlest fluff ball ever! I showed the groomer a picture and she immediately dismissed it, stating that they probably wouldn’t be able to achieve it because he was too matted.
I did sign a waiver due to the mats in case they nicked or cut my dog in the grooming process. My dog did come out with approx 4 cuts/​nicks which they showed me.
When the groomer evaluated my dog before we dropped him off, she kept asking if he was unhealthy or had any issues with his eyes, even though I had just stated he was 100% healthy per the vet. She gave off that vibe that makes you feel like you’re a bad pet owner.
When I came to retrieve my pet, they were behind and were not done with my dog. For this reason my BF and I were able to see them finishing up the grooming on my dog. The groomer was very rough with him and referred to him as «little dog» instead of his name. My dog was visibly upset and whimpering and was not himself for a few days after this grooming experience.
The cut was entirely not what I wanted, and they did end up shaving him (cutting everything) «due to the mats». As the groomers returned him to us, they gave us a talk about how to groom him and care for him at home. I don’t mind education about dog care at all, but they did so in a very condescending tone. The word «homework» was even thrown in there, as if I’m a child. I was nearly in tears leaving and my dog was miserable.
Will most definitely not be returning.

Nope. Charged 20 dollars more than the quote, and the dog came home with a bloody nose. Said it took 3 of them to trim his nails, when the vet does it with no problems. How bout just skipping that part instead of terrorizing the dog or price gauging your customers. Thanks for a rip off!
Not for us.

I think it is a fine establishment but we had to move on for a couple of reasons. It was more of a preference issue so I think it just wasn’t for us.

Rocco and I am so glad we found Beth and her wonderful team of experienced, professional groomers! Beth responds promptly, is accommodating and most of all, does such an awesome job with my dog and makes sure her team does, too!!! I’ve never been disappointed with their service. I appreciate the flexible pick up and drop off schedule. half days, full days, Saturdays! Highly recommend!!!

Frustrating experience. I made an appointment and was not told that the appointment required an up-​to-​date vaccination record. When I arrived, the receptionist called our vet and it turned out that our dog was past due on a distemper vaccine. So, our dog was turned away. I’m not against the policy but they should at least put this info on their website or notify new customers of the policy when the appointment is made.

Beth and her team did a wonderful job grooming my super fluffy corgi. My dog crawled in looking like a hot mess, and emerged a handsome, sweet-​smelling stud (complete with an adorable sports’ themed bandana).
For $ 75 (tip included), I got the following services:
— nails trimmed + filed
— hair trimmed (ears, thick coat, tail feathers, and beneath his paws)
— glands expressed (don’t ask me, research yourself)
— bath
— blow dry and combing out
— 4 hours of pet-​free, shopping time for me (woo hoo!)
I’m super pleased with the time and attention given to my little pup. When you ask for what services you want, Beth’s team asks detailed questions about how and where you want your dog groomed – it was quite refreshing! They tamed his overly poofy behind and trimmed his wild mane (long, crimped strands of hair flared out from both of his large ears – it was embarrassing). Please keep in mind: prices are dependent on hair length/​thickness, pet size, and animal disposition.
Plus, after you retrieve your beautimous pet, you get a FREE dog biscuit coupon for the neighboring pet bakery (Oliver’s Collar) in the same shopping center. With stupendous service and friendly staff, it’s no surprise that Beth’s Barks N Bubbles has won «Best Place to Get Your Pet Groomed in the Triangle» two years in a row.
I think I’ve found the groomer of my dreams!
