Testimonials for Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland

I've been bringing my dogs here for a long time (around 5+ years), after other groomers either gave them weird haircuts or I was told my dog's behavior wasn't good enough anyways Dave is the best groomer out. My dogs (white-bichon x Maltese & multi black grey brown-yorkshire x chihuahua) always look and smell great when I pick them up. He is quick to respond in organising appointments, has reasonable pricing, and takes a normal amount of time for a groom (i.e. 1 hour), not 3 hours like some other places I had taken my dogs to. He can do different cuts (i.e. summer, or a bit longer-those are the ones I have tried). I like the summer cut as they last a long time however my white dog now has skin tags and so needs the slightly longer cut (1 up from summer), which looks great. Wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else, highly recommend. Dogs are always bouncy & happy afterward- must be because they know they look and smell great, as well as feel lighter from less fur! Thanks Dave!

Dave is easily the best groomer in Auckland. I always got told Dusty wasn’t well behaved enough for other groomers but with Dave she’s no problem. He must be some kind of dog whisperer cos when I pick her up she’s in a great mood. Great cuts too! Please don’t ever retire Dave!!

Imogen Taylor

Excellent service. Max looked great after his grooming

Recently tried out Barkers Dog Grooming for the first time and would highly recommend - prompt communication, reasonable pricing and convenient location (just off SH18 - Lincoln Road exit). Picture is of my Airedale Terrier pre and post groom (I asked for a “shearing” due to summer).

Caitlin Craigie

By far the best dog groomer with unbeatable prices. I booked my Border Collie and Labrador x Border Collie in with David and they came back so happy and clean and just overall groomed very well. It has almost been a week since they were groomed and they still smell amazing. Highly recommend David.

We will definitely never use someone else again.

It was a joy to collect a perfectly groomed and relaxed dog.

David who did our dog chinos groom was amazing, our dog who is normally very nervous was in such great hands. When we picked him up he looked absolutely gorgeous, the best groom we have had on our Maltese x poodle. David's pricing is also very good, very happy customers will be back.

Glenn Brown

What a fantastic place! I have used other pet groomers before and when collecting the dogs are grumpy and unhappy and eager to leave. Dave has a special touch as when I collected my dogs from him they were happy an excited, and they looked and smelt fantastic !!! I will be returning to barkers for every groom from now on. 5 stars! Best pet groomer I have ever come across!

Chanelle Jobsis

Absolutely stroked with David's handiwork on my Shitzu. I have taken my boy to three different groomers and never has his coat looked this cleanly cut. One-on-one grooming definitely makes all the difference and I am pleased to finally have found a permanent groomer in Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland.

Leirita Mulinuu

I cannot begin to say how impressed I am with David at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland. An hour to beautifully groom my rather highly strung cocker spaniel! What a fantastic job, she is totally unphased and calmer than I have ever seen her with any other pet groomer. Thank you sooo much. Molly and I will be back!

- Jo Ashcroft

My dogs look a million dollars after their grooms, even managed to groom my Maltese, no other groomer would touch him

Katerina Mohhamed

Super impressed with the service and care taken with my dog.

Ashley Young

Took my mini schnauzer for her first groom as she was a shaggy looking pup. Picked her up and she looked awesome and smelt great! Totally pleased with the result. Definitely returning

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value

I will tell you right now, this guy is the best in the business. I brought my husky in for a grooming. I was doubtful that he would be able to do much but I underestimated him. Also for the price he is charging and the service that is provided is why he gets 5 stars. If he can groom my dog, he can groom ANY dog out there to a high, professional level with care. Thank you mate and we will definitely be returning.


M T Tufunga

Awesome! I took my older dog here to get groomed and let David at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland know that she has arthritis in her back legs, her spine and something neurological, that she couldn't walk very well. He was great with her, gentle, let her have breaks, lifted her up when she needed it. Will be taking both my dogs there from now on.

Erin De

Incredible service, took my pups for their first ever groom and though they were nervous at the start when I picked them up they were completely relaxed, they smell amazing and their coats are incredibly soft. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their dog groomed, I won't be going anywhere else! Thank you again David.

Jess Bright

First time for my puppy at the groomers. Dave did an amazing groom and she came out so relaxed. I'm definately going back for her next groom. Highly recommend Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland in the Concourse Henderson.

Sue Walbutton

I brought my dog Toby up to you a couple of weeks ago for a full groom, I have had him groomed in the past and not been happy and neither has he, I am so impressed with your service he is well groomed and so much happier your prices are so reasonable and the care you gave him was amazing, thank you so much I will definitely be returning to you and recommending to my friends and family, again Thank you

Viv Craig

Dave is amazing - he made our two baby Yorkies smell amazing and they look so cute with their cuts ( first time at the groomers ) couldn't of asked for a better guy and someone you can trust :) thanks so much Dave :)

Debby Smith

I am very happy with David and his pet grooming service. Took our boy Benji in for a full dog groom. We have taken him elsewhere in the past and have had to leave him there the day due to their booking schedule. I love how David only books one dog in at a time and that they never have a chance to feel unsettled due to his efficiency and professionalism. We will be returning. David is our pet groomer from here on in.

Cyrstal Cartwright

Lucy went for her first ever groom (8 mths) and David was awesome. Lucy had a medicated wash which was no problem and she came out looking great and smelling great ... super convenient to. Would recommend

Angela Gates

I am so pleased to have discovered Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland. David is very good with our dog, Ella who is not always keen to be groomed by just anyone, though she seems fine with David and always looks fantastic once groomed. She comes out feeling real silky and smells lovely. Highly recommended.

- Anja Moss

My border collie Lucy loves her wash and trim with David. She has had a troubled past but is very comfortable with David who did not muzzle her like other pet groomers. You can sense the trust between the Pet Groomer and the dog. The products he uses are of a very high quality and the prices are the most reasonable that I have come across in Auckland. As a repeat customer of David, I highly recommend Barkers Pet Grooming to all dog owners.

- Micheal DCosta

I am very happy with David and his pet grooming service.

I have been really impressed with the pet grooms that David does and the care he gives the dogs. They seem settled and well cared for and they come out looking beautiful

- Rhiannon Taylor

I took my dog to David on Saturday for the first time after being referred by a friend. He was knowledgeable and great with my dog, she settled quickly in his presence. As he only does one dog at a time the groom took half the time my past pet groomers have taken. I was so impressed by the groom my dog looked gorgeous. Thanks David

- Janine De Vryer

David at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland is great and fantastic with Bernie and Milo. Would highly recommend to all those canine lovers. Thanks David. My dogs like took great.

- Moira McFarlane

We have two large dogs that were in desperate need of a good groom and David did the job superbly. We now use him on a regular basis and our dogs love getting them back all clean, tidy and smelling nice. We would definitely recommend David to anyone looking for a professional & affordable pet groomer.

- Graeme and G Scott.

Nice work done for my dog at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland. convenient location too!

- Shanshan

Dave at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland has been grooming our 2 Flat Coat Retriever’s Cocoa and Ruby since starting in Onehunga, and they LOVE going to see him to have a “Spa Day” with all pampering (typical females). Ruby is no spring chicken anymore with limited mobility and Dave treats her with gentle care even down to carrying her up and down the stairs. They always come home looking gorgeous and smelling fabulous and happy.

We highly recommend Dave and Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland to all dog owners.

Dave and Heather Read

Thank you David for the WONDERFUL pet grooms you do - I would not go anywhere else. The dogs seem to know they have to behave as he just gets on with the job at hand. If you want a fabulous job done, then go to David at Barkers Pet Grooming Auckland

David is wonderful with our mini schnauzer Spencer. Spencer greets him like his best buddy when he arrives for a groom. He leaves looking very sharp and smelling delicious. Thoroughly recommend.
