Barking Betty

I had a fantastic experience at Barking Betty. My dog is not a great dog for grooming and when we went to BB the owner gave us time for me to settle him and her handling of him was first class. When I returned he was relaxed and that is exactly how I felt. He had the full groom and when I returned to him he looked AMAZING. I will definitely go back time and time again, and will recommend this place to anyone who loves their dog like I do.

We've been taking Poppy into Barking Betty's for the past five years and wouldn't consider taking her anywhere else. Staff are kind and friendly and listen to what you want doing. I love the way the dogs and groomers are visible from the street and my cavapoo always looks amazing when I pick her up. I suspect that any negative reviews on this site come from owners who have let their dogs fur get into a terrible state then expect miracles at the same rate.

I have been taking my cockapoo to Betty for the last 3 yrs. She is no-nonsense, efficient & very good with the dogs who are all happy and relaxed and most importantly they are all on view, nothing hidden so you know your pooch is being well cared for. She has also on occasion gone above and beyond the call of dog grooming duty. I was very impressed when I took my dog in recently, as I suspected he had a grass seed in his paw and knew the Vet would cost £80 just to look then antibiotics, and general anesthetic as in previous cases. But she kindly did a thorough search and with tweezers eventually found a grass seed that had pierced the skin & was already entering his paw. She removed it, bathed his paw and refused to take any money from me! Very and impressed! I thoroughly recommend her.

Our dog Titch is very old and this was the first time he had been to Barking Betty. The cut was brilliant and much more importantly when we went to collect him, he was happy and wagging his tail. Would highly recommend this place if you want a good cut and for your dog to be happy for the few hours he is there. Definitely will be using again and will now not go anywhere else

Got stuck in a car accident and was 20 minutes late. Was aggressively told on arrival and I quote ‘I not staying late just to do your dog’! 10 years of loyalty down the drain from that individual. Astonishing behaviour. Ever heard of customer service or empathy!?

I'm very happy!!! a lovely bunch they all are! Excellent communication & understanding when it came to my dog. My dog Lexi has a condition that restricts her walking abilities & Linda and Beverly worked around the condition very well with the style I wanted. They made my Lexi & I feel very confident & comfortable & I highly recommend the business, very professional! 👍😀

We send our miniature dachshund Lola to daycare at Barking Betty’s and she loves it! Ellie always comes to pick her up on time and is very respectful. Lola is delighted to see her and they send pictures of her throughout the day to reassure us. Lola has a fitness tracker and when she is at Barking Betty’s, she always does way more than her required exercise for the day. She comes back happy and tired. Ellie always makes you aware well in advance if she can’t make a day, and will tell you straight away if she has any concerns about your dog. We can’t recommend Barking Betty enough.

I have been taking my dog to Barking Betty for nearly 6 years now. I know I could not be leaving her in safer hands - either for grooming (and they leave her gorgeous eye lashes at my request!) or for day care. What's more, it's a happy team you see working there. The fact that they do the grooming in full vision means they are confident they have nothing to hide. Full marks from me.
