Bark Out Loud - San Diego, California

Chloe

Both me and my dog are the happiest of customers! It’s always so nerve racking taking my Husky in for grooming and the team at Bark Out Loud was amazing. My girl needed some clean up trimming on top of a regular wash and she looks better than I could have ever expected, they did everything I asked and she’s soft like a cloud I’m so beyond happy. Highly recommend!!

*DISCLAIMER*: I don’t have definitive evidence or even know for sure if what I’m about to say actually happened, however, I am extremely skeptical and want to raise awareness to bring your pets here with caution due to my experience.

I brought my dog here to be groomed about 5 or 6 times, and every single time I picked him up, he was extremely lethargic, sick and depressed for literally days. He’s normally always extremely energetic and happy, so this is very out of character for him.

The people seem friendly and the haircut was fine, so naturally I assumed that he was just sad and depressed because he got his hair cut off. Well, I recently moved to Japan from San Diego, so obviously I now have a new groomer…

At this new Japanese groomer, I pick him up and he’s the same little happy, energetic dog that he always is. He’s excited to see me when I pick him up and perfectly fine when we get home, no issues whatsoever like the ones before when I got him groomed at this place.

I am *almost* certain that they were giving my dog some type of drugs to keep him calm while he was being groomed, obviously without my consent. BE WARNED because I am not exaggerating in the least bit when I say there is a COMPLETE night and day difference with his demeanor when coming home from my new Japanese groomer compared to coming home from here.

I gave a 1 star review for the sheer skepticism just because I want to bring attention to my review. If your dog seems lethargic and is behaving oddly after leaving this place, take him to a different groomer and see if you have the same result before returning again.

Fantastic and reasonably priced place to bring your pet, ours is a dog, for grooming.
We have taken Oreo here for a few years now and have always been more than satisfied with their care and abilities! Our girl always comes back looking fantastic and so clean!

A bit over $100 after tax and 15% tip for full shave of 55lb dog. Came out mostly good. I mentioned to them to carefully remove feathers between his paws when I dropped him off and they did ok but not great with that. The groom area is behind a closed door which is not preferable in my opinion. I have high standards being a former groomer. Between the price and quality I decided to not return.

I’ve been bringing my dog here since I lived in the neighborhood and my dog still prefers them over anyone else! We’ve moved to Escondido since, but this is still our favorite groomer in San Diego. They always do a great job and get her in and out as quickly as possible, even on the busiest Saturdays.

My dog Lola does not like bring her nails cut. This groomer is soo kind and has a lot of patience with my whining dog. My dog does better with filing instead of the nail cutting tool and this groomer will accommodate! She is my go to when my dog needs her nails trimmed.

They did a wonderful job with our dogs! It was fast and affordable and they’re both very soft and clean ? I’ll definitely take them back again! The bandanas are a very nice and thoughtful touch
