How much does Barkbus cost?

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can book the date and time that works best for you directly from your phone or web browser online. Alternatively, call or text our in-house Concierge team at (800) 742-9255.
How much experience do Barkbus Pet Stylists have?

All Barkbus Pet Stylists have years of experience in complex grooming, dog safety, and breed-specific haircuts. All Pet Stylists are canine CPR & First-Aide certified with the International Pet Groomers Association training standards.
How long does a typical groom take?

You can expect each appointment to take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours depending on dog breed and size, but since we never rush, it may take more time.
My dog has sensitive skin, do you have a shampoo for that?

Yes! Each vehicle carries specialty products such as a gentle oatmeal sensitive skin shampoo, a de-shed conditioner and a blueberry face wash that are included in each service.
Will you service my elderly/disabled dog?

We are able to service most elderly & disabled dogs with a few exceptions. Some elderly dogs may have trouble standing on their own for extended lengths of time. We recommend a groomer with an assistant or veterinarian for sedated grooming.
Do you need to plug into my house for water and power?

Absolutely not! Our state-of-the-art, next generation mobile grooming vans are fully self sufficient and engineered for grooming, so we never need to plug into your house for water or power.
