Barks & Bubbles

Amazing experience every time I go. I had not found any other place in Santa Fe that knows how to groom Bichon Frise's the right way until I found this place through word of mouth from another fellow Bichon owner. I also recommended them to my mom and she now takes her new 5 month old Shih Tzu to them and they always do an amazing job. They follow your instructions, and the dogs are always happy afterwards, not traumatized like in other places. Glad we found them.

This group is wonderful, and my three dogs are always happy/excited to go to the groomer. I love that the dogs aren't put in cages and can socialize with other pups when not actively getting washed or groomed. There is usually a wait to get in, so book your appointments out so that your dog is on a schedule.

Barks and bubbles has been a great experience for us for several years now, The staff is really professional, knowledgeable and great at communication. Our mini schnauzer is a complex kinda guy and always looks great and is relaxed coming back to us so I know he’s treated wonderfully during his appointments. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Would recommend. Haircut is great for our Airedale and his specific haircut. He is NOT traumatized after, like he has with other groomers.

I saw sign on St Francis. It says Barks and Bubbles with Self Service in huge letters. When I inquired they said they only do grooming services themselves on a drop off basis.. ??? Did they forget to change their sign on the road? Then I inquired as to a rough estimate on cost. I understand hiring young girls so you can pay less however you really should train customer service if you are going to hire them. She was so curt and rude, refusing to answer my question saying owner is only one to give estimate after seeing the dog. She would not even give me a bracket price when I asked "$50 to $100?" Or.. maybe $100 to $200?? Rudely said she couldn’t answer that. Lucky for me a customer spoke up and said her dog was minimum $125 each time. I almost fainted. Is that really the going rate for shampooing your dog in Santa Fe?? All this to say, if you are not a "regular" expect a very rude front desk girl who won’t answer your questions or even pretend to be a little nice to you, and be prepared to pay an unknown but astronomical price when work is complete.

Wish we could give more stars. Quick availability really helped our shedding fur baby. It was his first time to the groomers and after this one visit I’ve come to wonder why I had not taken him sooner. Friendly staff met us at our car and before I knew it he had been transformed into a fresh, clean, handsome young man. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on him.

I called Sherry in desperate need of an appointment for my dog Buddy who will be going through surgery for oral malignant melanoma. I wanted him to look and feel like a champion as he begins this fight for his life. Sherry was kind and accommodating to me as a first time customer. She was empathetic and sympathetic. I am so glad a stranger walking his dogs recommended B&B to me.
