Reviews & Testimonials

I like to use this place for self wash during the winter months or after camping/beach trips. The self wash areas are NOT cleaned after every use; each stall I went to had not been cleaned and had to remove dog hair from the previous pup. The front desk staff is rude, not approachable and seem annoyed when you ask questions.

My dog loves it here. He typically does two days during the work week to break up the week. He's usually pretty chill the days following his visits after playing all day. I appreciate that I can check in via the cameras and see him playing and having fun with the friends he has made. We haven't done summer days yet and I have not been able to watch them play outside, so I'm reserving a star. Overall, it's a nice option to have. I appreciate they do the temperament tests and seem to keep a pretty good eye on the dynamics with the dogs present. Would recommend.

My Golden Retriever had a great experience at BarkZone for his spa day! He was greeted by delightful staff members (he did have an appointment) for his bath, nail trim and blowout. He looked ready for the show ring when he emerged 2 hours later. Highly recommended!

The front office is amazing, extremely kind and accommodating. Great that you can watch the dogs on the webcam. They know each dog well!

This is the BEST place ever to bring your dog. We've been taking our Australian cattle dog here for years and have always seen Winston enjoying himself on the doggie cam and when we drop him off and the staff see him they almost always recognize him and greet him with his name and a doggie pat pat on the head. He leaves us gleefully each time, tail wagging as he follows the staff into the inner sanctuary. The staff is just amazing. Haven't met a grumpy member of the team yet- and we've been coming here for years. A true find, for sure!

My dog loves these guys!!

The groomers are good, but the front office person questions if you have any concerns about pricing. Offputting.

Kayla was AMAZING!!!! She did an EXCEPTIONAL job grooming Onyx!! We will be booking with her again! I'm so happy I found you guys!!!

The last two times I tried to get my dogs nails trimmed here, we walked away not having gotten them trimmed at all. A couple of years ago I had an appointment and brought my dog in and the attendant said “I can’t do it without help and I’m the only one here.” Shortly after, another employee walked in with their off-leash dog which ran up to my nervous, on-leash dog and cornered it. They did nothing about this but watch. Didn’t even try to call the dog away. Then still said they couldn’t do it even though they clearly had help now. Thought I’d try them again and explained what had happened last time with someone very understanding on the phone. They said we’ll make sure there’s enough help and to schedule at a time when it’d be low traffic in the shop. Today I show up for my appointment and nobody is here at all. Not answering my phone calls or their ring door bell. We waited around for 30 mins and nothing. Pretty bad experience all around. UPDATE: The still haven’t even responded to my voicemails I left 3 days ago. Waste of time.

Barkzone is great! It's the staff that make it so. They are friendly and attentive to my dog, they know her. I would LOVE it if drop off were a little bit faster!

My 6-yr-old Great Pyrenees got her first grooming ever and she came out looking and smelling fabulous. They were sensitive to her nervousness and were able to groom her without needing to resort to a muzzle. She's much more comfortable without all the extra floof (IYKYK). Beats trying to bathe her myself in my claw foot bathtub! Highly recommend.

After two serious incidents, we will never ever trust this place with our dog again! During the first incident, while we were overseas, we saw their missed call at around 2am with no voicemail or email. We were extremely frightened, especially since we had previously been told they would only call in the case of a serious emergency involving our dog. I spent that time repeatedly calling them back in distress, but no one answered! 💔 It took nearly an hour to finally reach someone. We later found out they had mishandled our dog’s food storage and we had to urgently purchase new food at our own expense to ensure our dog was fed. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic responsibility in this situation was unacceptable! The second incident was far worse. Just three days into our trip, we received a voicemail saying our 7 lb dog had been involved in a fight. We were initially told that a large dog pinned her down during mealtime. We specifically requested a written explanation of what happened and asked for photos. While they did send photos, they never provided any written explanation. (Not surprised!) Instead, we only received a phone call from a manager, and later, when we picked our dog up, we were given a completely different version of events. The refusal to document the incident in writing, combined with conflicting stories, raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability. After picking our pup up, we discovered bite marks and eye infection following. The fact that dogs of all sizes are mixed together, especially during feeding, shows extremely poor judgment and unsafe handling practices. On a side note, their website/storefront stated we could pick dogs up during break time, but they will charge a fee. We tried to do that once, and the staff showed up rude and fed up insisting us picking up during business hours. Crazy! We are just so incredibly fortunate that our dog is safe, but this experience was completely unacceptable. Between the lack of communication, inconsistent reporting, and questionable safety practices, we strongly advise others to think twice before trusting this facility with their pets!

I just wanted to leave a grooming review for Portland Barkzone. Thank you Taylor! My dog Mauricio has never looked better. You are very professional, on top of scheduling and personable. I apologize for not leaving a tip! The grooming rates went up substantially since my last visit! Barkzone is lucky to have you. Thanks again

I'm genuinely confused how this place stays in business. I have tried on many occasions to use this location for grooming and have had pretty much the same negative experiences each time. They have the WORST communication of any business I've ever seen. They do not answer their phone regularly - it always goes to voicemail and on top of that, they don't return those voicemails. I was able to finally reach someone after multiple days of calling to schedule an appointment. Appointment is schedule for 2 weeks out - that's great. Day of appointment comes, groomer calls out sick - I get it, no worries. They move my appointment to the following week on a Friday, same time - again, great, that works. I call Tuesday to confirm the time of my appointment - no answer, nothing returned. Same with my calls Wednesday and Thursday. No answer, no call back to VM. Show up on Friday, with the idea that my appointment was the same time that I was told 3 weeks ago. The person checking me in tells me, "We had your appointment down for an hour earlier and we're booked for the day, we can reschedule you for 3 weeks from now." No thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere. Sure, their staff is nice and professional without a doubt. But their management is horrendous. Hire someone to answer the phone

Always happy with their kind care of our 14 year old lab mix and so appreciate how clean she looks and smells.

Shannon is wonderful with my pup! I drive from Beaverton to work with her because my pup does so well with her and he is generally pretty anxious with baths and grooming. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!

My dog always smells so fresh and look handsome after the grooming here♥️♥️

I am very happy with Luna’s grooming.
