Fear-Free Environment
The Barkin’ Creek Spa offers a fear-free environment and customizes every session to the current needs of your dog. Whether your pup is aggressive toward the drier, has a difficult cut, gets anxious or is elderly and unable to walk upstairs, we will accommodate them with open paws.

Love and Care by our Spa Family
Throughout the entire spa experience, your dog is loved and cared for by our spa family and is constantly rewarded with delicious and healthy treats to keep them happy and motivated to behave.

By Appointment Only
Our spa is by appointment only and is one of the only grooming locations in the area that works like a traditional salon. All appointments are made for a specific time -- just like your salon! There are no all-day drop-offs, where you leave your pet with an unknown cashier only to return hours later when the dog is done. We offer a much more personalized and hands-on experience for both you and your pup.

Top-of-the-line Pet Care Products
We use only top-of-the-line pet care shampoos and conditioners, such as Chris Christensen -- a favorite at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show! We also take special care considering and addressing noise control in the bath and grooming area, to keep stress levels down.

No Cages
Your pup is never put in a cage. Rather, if you are running a little late for pick-up, your dog enjoys a special suite while waiting for you to arrive. Our suites have clear walls, creating a safe space so your furry friend never feels alone.

Tailored to you and your pup
We offer many spa services including mud baths, conditioning rinses, massages and/or blow-out treatments! Every session is different and 100% tailored to you and your pup’s needs.
What To Expect
At your specific appointment time, both you and your dog come into our beautiful space and meet with the groomer performing your dog’s spa services.
Your groomer spends about 10-15 minutes performing an intake, to discuss package options, listen to your questions and requests and provide a quote for pricing. During this time, you and your groomer will inspect your dog and look for any health hazards or areas needing special attention.
All our managers and groomers go through “Fear Free Training,” ensuring your pet has the best experience possible while at Barkin’ Creek.
