Took my dood in for the first time to Barkin Bubbles. Felipe helped us and he did a great job! I'm very happy with their service and recommend them hands down.

It's been about a year since my last updated review and I can't stress enough of how thankful I am of Dominique and her team here.
My dog Mila is great with people, sometimes not so great with other doggies but the team here really help alleviate the stress by taking good care of my precious dog, Mila. It's been 7 years plus that Mila has been going here, and I've been happy with the result every time.
What I love about this spot is that it's affordable. I've gotten the same haircut for years and the price has only slightly increased. I recently got a quote from another groomer who wanted 3x as much for the same dog haircut. Bark n Bubbles has always kept their prices fair and the quality of the cut is amazing.
Calling in to make an appointment is super easy, they always pick up and are able to squeeze me within a week most of the time. When I drop her off, it usually takes 2-3 hours for them to complete the service and they'll give me a call when she's ready.
Finding a good dog groomer is hard and I feel good knowing Mila is in good hands at Bark n Bubbles.Helpful 13Thanks 5Love this 23Oh no 0Apr 12, 2022Previous reviewIt's been a while since I last updated my review, and even through the pandemic, Dominique and her team continues to do an amazing job with my aussie shepherd, Mila.
Calling and making an appointment is the way to go. Their availability is typically 1.5-2 weeks out so it pays to plan ahead. I gave them a call, and mentioned that if something opens up sooner, to please give me a call. Last week, they gave me a call and I was able to get my dog in for her haircut a 1.5 weeks earlier than expected, which was much appreciated.
They are experienced with Aussies and we've been shaving down Mila for each and every cut, and I end up coming back every other month. It cost $95+ tip and typically takes 2-3 hours for completion. They'll give you a call once your dog is ready to go.
What I've loved about coming here is the amount of care they take for my dog Mila. Mila didn't like other groomers until she came here, and for me, this is the only place i'll take her!
Side note: If you are looking for a deep dog teeth cleaning, they have a mobile service that comes out once a month and if you time it correctly, you can knock out both appointments in the same day.Aug 18, 2018Previous reviewThe folks at Bark n Bubbles are a god send! I've taken my puppy to various grooming places in the area but never had the success like I did with this place!
Getting an appointment isn't to hard as long as you call up in advance. I've gotten lucky a few times with same-day appointments but it's not always guaranteed. I typically spend $65 for the service, for my medium sized dog.
Dog whisperers maybe, but they were able to trim, clean, and cut my Aus Shepard Mila with ease. I'm not very familiar with where and what hair should be trimmed, but the staff handles it every time. Mila comes out looking fresh, brushed, trimmed and most of all a Giant Smile on her face! I definitely recommend giving them a chance.Mar 29, 2017Previous reviewThe folks at Bark n Bubbles are a god send!

Dog whisperers maybe, but they were able to trim, clean, and cut my Australian Shepard with ease. They even had a few other mini aussies in the place and my dog seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere.
Pricing is fairly competitive for the area, but the fact that they calmed my nerves along with my dogs, this is my go-to place for dog grooming in the peninsula. - Claudia A.San Mateo, CA36109Sep 20, 2023Updated review

Very happy with the result!
I've always thinking about taking Gourdy to do a professional grooming (I usually groom him myself) and found this business just about 10min drive from my place. It has been sitting in my collection folder for over a year because I'm a bit worried if the haircut will be bad or hurt my dear boi. But finally I made up my mind and schedule an appointment thru phone call.
The scheduling was smooth tho they seemed to be pretty busy. I called last Wednesday and got an appointment for today after over a week. They are in a quiet neighborhood with a small parking lot behind (and plenty of street parking by the time I arrived). The current (5/12/2022) price for a haircut on a small dog is $80 which is okay imo.
The drop off is pretty fast. I handed them my dog and filled out a card with contact info. Props to them that they also have a section to learn about ur dog's personality. They called after around 3hr and gave a lot of praises to my sweet boi. The end result is amazing! Gourdy smells good with a brand new look. He seems tired but happy.
Overall I would definitely recommend them. Will come again in the future for grooming needsHelpful 2Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Rich A.San Bruno, CA4352Aug 17, 2023Updated review

I mean they go above and beyond the call of attention n' their duty's for your dogs.
My Chente' is very astute attentive n' he was in heaven they he loves all the woman too.
God bless the owner and all the workers they our sweet, kind admirable they smile that you and all the dogs there look beautiful better anywhere great prices, great rapport everybody smiling you will be very very happy in your dog will be more content - Jason D.Daly City, CA0102Dec 26, 2023
They looked busy as I showed up with my dog in hand asking for grooming. They squeezed Alfred in and called me back about an hour later saying that he was ready to be picked up. The next thing I know my English Bulldog is clean, smells great, has his nails clipped, ears clean and anal glands serviced all for a reasonable price. I am happy to have found a local groomer. I would definitely recommend them. I would definitely go back.

Dominique, the owner is an amazing person. I am grateful for the immediate action she took to show support for my rescue puppy Harlem, after he showed extreme physical signs of distress while being in the care of Bark's and Bubbles, that required medical attention. Upon his second grooming visit Harlem experienced high blood pressure to the point of his eyes experiencing blood clots. Please see attached pictures. Although the source of the stressor can't be identified, when I called her and let her know his condition and behavior upon picking him up, she was in sincere shock and not once questioned anything I needed to do to provide care for my puppy. Harlem is currently still recovering from whatever occurred, is on medications, and slowly starting to come out of his crate. We are giving him a lot of love, but he is still not himself. The vet requested videos of the facility, of which none could be provided and stated that Harlem underwent significant stress for his body to undergo such changes. As his owner this has really affected me. Although Dominque has been professional and appropriate in this matter, my experience with her staff regarding this experience has been poor and unprofessional. This made me question, if I as a customer was treated poorly and disrespected via Bark's and Bubbles staff, after experiencing what I had with my puppy, how are the animals treated? I was so happy to have found this location for Harlem, and to hear how well he did with Dominique on his first visit. However, this second visit was heartbreaking. Again, Dominique thank you for your support and professionalism in dealing with this matter. However, from one professional to another I would recommend customer training to your current staff, your clients shouldn't be spoken to as they are. Also, I would recommend safety training when overseeing the pets or grooming them. Whatever occurred with Harlem occurred neglectfully, I know 100% that there was no malicious intent. However, we get busy and we get going. But, safety must always come first. Just a strong suggestion. Dominique, this was very difficult for me to write, but your staff are a reflection of you and you need to get them in check. This cannot ever happen again. Thank you for all your support. Take good care.

Very nice ladies, no appointment needed for nail trimming but it was rushed and my baby suffered for it. I hate complaining bc any complaint made is considered a Karen but please see photos. Sure their regulars who get their babies groomed love it here but for just nail trimming unfortunately I won't be returning.
