We absolutely adore Abigail. She is literally a dog whisperer and our Brody loves her. We had such difficulty having him groomed before we met Abigail and it has been a game changer working with her. We are so grateful for her love, devotion, expertise and professionalism. Brody looks and smells gorgeous

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear how much Brody loves Abigail — she truly is a dog whisperer! ✨ We’re so happy she’s made grooming such a positive experience for you both. See you on your next Spaw day! 💙🐾

We love Vanessa! She is so patient with us and our high maintenance pup. She also educates us on best practices to give our pup the best life possible. I pay the extra money for BarkBus to have them come to me, so its convenient and one-on-one.

Lovely experience with BarkBus...Jamie was so excellent with our skittish pup, and our Mika came out gorgeous and happy. Great communication, and got a same-day appointment, which was perfect. Will definitely call BarkBus next time!

Nathan did an amazing job with our Aussie! She has never been so clean :) He payed attention to detail, getting out foxtails, the knots behind her ears, and a sanitary trim. Usually when we do the deshedding treatment she comes back shedding extra somehow but this time it actually worked!! She is not the easiest and moves around a lot (especially during the blow dry) but he took his time and brought her back fully dry and pampered. We are super impressed and will definitely use him again!

Thank you for your feedback, Rebecca! We’re thrilled to hear Nathan took such great care of your sweet Aussie! He’s amazing with detail work (especially with those tricky blow dries!), and we’re so happy the deshedding treatment finally delivered the results you were hoping for. Can’t wait to pamper her again soon! 🐾💙
