I was recommended barking beauties by woofers courtyard, my little cocker spaniel Pepper really enjoyed it and she's now looking like a beauty queen! she smells amazing and her hair cut is so precise, I love it as much as Pepper does! Credit to the team, very friendly and professional and helpful towards me and my girl. Also, at the end of her groom pepper got a cute hair bow! I'm amazed, Will definitely be returning as a frequent customer, wonderful place! ???? More...

Excellent friendly staff who treat my dogs very well. They discuss the owners requirements in advance of clipping/grooming and keep written records of what has been done for reference at future appointments. The business is situated on an industrial estate close to Wetherby with easy access and free parking. More...

She’s very happy and looks perfect????see you in 8 weeks! Thankyou very much and I loved the little touch with the bow on her collar!!!!❤️ More...

Barking Beauties is the only place I trust to give Millie her hair cut for many reasons; she always comes back looking great (especially with the addition of a bow) however the biggest thing is that she is comfortable in Clare’s care, being a rescue collie she can be very timid but Clare’s approach instantly puts her at ease.

I took my 7 month puppy Macy to get her first groom today, believe it or not I felt really nervous as I wasn't sure what she was going to be like but I needn't have worried as the staff were brilliant, they instantly took charge asking me how I would I like Macy cut, listening to what I wanted, they made me feel relaxed and I felt much better leaving her, they are a very professional team and I was so delighted with how she looked when I picked her up, I would defiantly recommend them!

Thank you, thank you. Charlie is a Westie who has been so stressed with other Groomers. Took him to meet Clare and her team, had a good sniff around and was perfectly happy. Took him back for a haircut, he walked in eagerly and when I went to pick him up, got there early and watched him being finished off. Not a sign of stress from Charlie or Clare. Booked him in for next visit. Can highly recommend them. More...

Absolutely fantastic! I would and have recommended barking beauties to everyone who compliments me on how stunning my lhasa apso always looks and smells. Wouldn't take my boy anywhere else and just added to my furbaby family so may have to book a spa day for them all. Not only have I found a brilliant groomer but also made a friend in Clare. Thank you for being so awesome. Couldn't wish for a nicer person to trust to care for my boy. More...

What do you love most about your job?
All the different personalities of the dogs. From extrovert to shy, puppies to the elderly. I love making the scruffiest dog into an exceptional looking pet. Customer satisfaction is a priority.
What inspired you to start your own business?
One of the main reasons for starting up for myself included making sure I listened to what the CUSTOMER wanted, not just what the groomer insisted was appropriate. Also treating each dog as an individual not a conveyor belt job.
Why should our clients choose you?
Simply because it's our passion to do the best job possible. Customer service with good communication skills is essential. We pride ourselves on LISTENING to what you need for the lifestyle of you and your pet
