Have been bringing my Bichon Loki here for the past few years now and anybody who understands grooming will recognise not only how hard it is to groom a Bichon Frise, but also that this type of dog requires a very specific type of cut. My first visit and subsequent result made my previous groomer look so inexperienced I was hooked and the consistency in their willingness to please is never overlooked. Love these guys. More...

Excellent and professional grooming. Would have gotten 5 stars if the reception people had better training and they'd offer more availability for appointments. Probably it's time to grow.

Our border terrier, Roo, needed to be properly hand-stripped after another groomer did a very poor strip. I am delighted that I found Just Barking as they were very friendly and helpful, offered a prompt appointment and - most importantly - did a brilliant job. Roo looks fantastic and we will be using Ralph regularly from now on. Thankyou, Just Barking! More...

I bring my dog here regularly to get groomed. The work done is fantastic and the staff is a delight to interact with and very customer oriented. My dog is large and I did not find very many groomers in North West London who are good with larger breeds. Have taken my dog to a few groomers before I finally found this place. Keep up the good work guys! More...

Ralph is brilliant at cutting my Pomeranian and really improved the quality of his coat that another groomer ruined (we’ve moved so used someone closer for a while)The owners and employees at JB really love the dogs in their care, they also groom your dog to your specification. Thanks so much!

Absolutely love the service at Just Barking. Outstanding customer service and excellent quality groomers! After calling 15 other groomers and not being able to get an appointment, I called Just Barking but had no hope of getting an appointment. At first the receptionist informed me they only had appointments in a week's time and was very apologetic about it. When I explained to her that my puppy was really unwell due to the heatwave and I was concerned about her health and she really needed a trim and I had called several places but it was impossible to find an appointment she really listened to me and asked to call me back right away with a solution.She did call me 5 minutes later with a next day appointment for a full trim which is exactly what I wanted! They were the first groomers to actually listen and show they care about customers. I know they were fully booked and very busy but they cared enough and went the extra mile to fit my puppy in and help us out.I really wanted my puppy's fur to be trimmed using scissors and not clippers and they did exactly what I asked! While everywhere else they said shih-tzu's could not have their coat trimmed using scissors. When I went to collect her she was happy, wagging her tail and looking gorgeous and smelling even better!!I could not recommend this place enough! I know that it's hard to trust someone to look after your dog but my mind is at ease with the groomers in this place! More...

Just opened a dog groomers in Torquay and asked to supply leads and collars. They are great to deal with and there products are top quality and look amazing. I dealt with a gentleman called Kristian who was friendly and professional.Please buy with confidence as the products are just as good as they look in the photos no corners cut on quality. Thanks Bowwows Torquay More...

another local secret - that is becoming quite the thing.  their dog collars and leather goods are amazing.  the most fantastic leathers.  everywhere i go with my beasts ... i think we are asked where the leads and collars are from.  world class dog groomers - they write books and win international competitions ...  also can help sort out animal care with local experienced people.all sorts of dog foods, unusual toys, treats, and trinkets to spoil your pets - with helpful staff always ready with specific suggestions. well worth the detour  up to KR (that's kensal rise for the non-locals!)

Delighted with the customer service and groom my dog had at Just barking. My King Charles has weak back legs (after surgery on his spine) and this was taken into account. They will go the extra mile which is appreciated. Thank you More...

Previous review was made after a bad experience. Subsequent update to this is as follows. Christian, the owner has contacted me. This was a very different exchange. I can now see why the majority have had excellent service here. Christian is clearly very passionate about his business and our four legged friends. I am sure this was an unfortunate one off. I really appreciate the efforts he has made to address my dissatisfaction. I would like to apologise for not giving him that opportunity before writing my initial review. More...

We were very pleased with the service at this lovely grooming salon. This was our first visit and we were quite nervous for our schnoodle to get her first cut, but found them very patient and helpful with tips on how to maintain her coat until our next visit. She smelled and looked amazing! Can't wait to come back. We highly recommend! More...

Montgomery recently had his first professional groom (he's nine months old) at Just Barking and they did a great job. He's a Standard Schnauzer and it took six hours (over two days, as he was hand stripped) and the attention to detail was second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending Just Barking, and Montgomery will be back again for his next groom soon! I just wish I could keep him looking as good as he did when he left the salon! More...

I have a Cavalier King Charles - Poodle mix - curly hair, prone to the occasional matting and after some misplaced exuberance with some ducks, went into the Grand Canal and did NOT smell good. We are living here for a few months and I was not looking forward to finding a new groomer. Upon the recommendation of some friends, I gave Just Barking a try. I was impressed that during the drop off, they took careful notes on what I was looking for and it showed:  this is easily one of the best hair cuts my dog has ever had. They took their time and the attention to detail and careful trimming around his face looked great; his ear canals were clean and free of hair, his nails were the right length and the overall cut was even and very precise. The shampoo/conditioner didn't smell overly perfumed and his hair was very soft. I found them to be friendly and very professional. We will definitely be going back for a hair cut before we return to the US in the fall. More...

Q&As

Working with dogs is a privilege that we both appreciate and take seriously. Our groomers hold some of the most prestigious qualifications in the UK and participate actively in dog grooming events throughout the year.

Our groomers are qualified by either City & Guilds or International Certified Master Groomers (ICMG UK). Our salon is ICMG UK designated. The owner of Just Barking is also the acting-Chair of the British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA) and author of The Dog Grooming Business Course as well as Amazon UK No.1 bestseller in pet care, Howell's Code: The Joy and Duty of Dog Ownership.

Services

At Just Barking we aim to partner with our customers in the care and maintenance of their dog's coat, but also their general health and well-being. Your appointment starts with a pre-grooming consultation to establish the cut/style you're after, but also what is achievable given the condition of your dog's coat. A regular treatment includes two warm water baths, blow-dry, brush out, scissoring and styling to breed standards. Nails will be trimmed and ears cleaned. We are also able to offer hand-stripping. Please allow up to about two hours for the full treatment.
