Bark N Bubbles Doggy Day Spa-Hyde Park - Chicago, Illinois

NKB

I love this place! I have an Aussie/BC mix double coated with long black hair. The groomers know exactly how to groom him. Many groomers don’t. The staff is very professional. Michael was my most recent groomer. They are quick and efficient and very communicative. They clean his ears, teeth, grind his nails and express his glands if needed as part of his groom. Bark and Bubbles is worth the price.

I was LOUD AND WRONG. Soo I’m being just as LOUD in my admitting that. I stopped coming to this groomer because of what I thought was a miscommunication but it was in fact me who made the error. I learned it today after bringing my dogs for the first time In a year. I booked what I always book and when I got there I told them how I wanted my Yorkies hair cut. Not mentioning it he simply says oh you want her to get a haircut too? I’m like yeah. Anyway long story short I always book them for a bath and they just have been accommodating the haircuts for me. I’ve never booked a haircut online. I want to apologize and thank them for the service that they provide for me and my fur babies because they know what I always get. Thank you for allowing me to continue to patronize you business after my own error for which I blamed the company. Lastly thank you for taking care of my fur babies. Another great grooming session. Thank you So much.

TLDR; my dog is too big for this bathtub. The sale price ($15 normally $30) is why I chose this location. It’s close to me and CJ really needed the bath. No secure enclosures for dogs between grooming. ‘Good faith’ vaccine checks.

Small local business. Black owned and operated. Tucked inside of the front facing street. Easy to reach and access. Came in for a self wash. *these are limited serve* only available for scheduling and is restricted on what days times etc.
you may have to call multiple times to get through.

Purple. Everywhere. 💜 a very clear aesthetic. Right down to iridescent grooming supplies. Nothing shows off the work they do with the animals.
Plastic pull bins make up their organizing system. (I’d recommend looking at some styling carts on wheels so they can move them and sweep around it.) the check in desk is a absolute mess good thing the POS system is just a IPad.

4 TVs one above each bath. Though cute seem a waste of electricity, since my eyes are on my dog.

4 wash tubs just the right height; only 2 set up for function. I felt like a fellow dog washer among the two staff members. Though I can’t help but feel as though the self wash system takes away from their tools to complete the job. — example: I was in the tub another dog couldn’t be started./the hair dryer was taken from a already existing dog mid groom. (They grabbed a different one)
To top it off they have to work around the other dogs bothering them since no one is tethered.

The tub was pre-sudsy which is to be expected mid day. There isn’t a drain grate. The bottom is lined with rubber. I appreciate being able to get all the way around the tub.

I likely won’t be returning. these tubs are to small for my 80lb GSD. It is extremely hard to maneuver. A self wash service is normally about $30 which is to high for me. I caught it on sale for $15. $20 is the highest I’m willing to pay for washing my dog myself.

They did an amazing job! My dog is often difficult for groomers, but the bark n bubbles team handled her like true pros! She looks so good!

I think when my dog realized that I was the groomer, he totally relaxed! This was our 1st time and it was awesome! The ability to care for my dog myself after being handled by professiinal groomers was a treat for both of us! Everything is right there at your disposal! So convenient! Atmosphere is very friendly, very professional. Thank you for allowing me to be totally hands on! Kudos!

Barn N Bubbles is in the heart of Hyde Park. I’ve had nothing but top notch service from Bark N Bubbles. As long as they understand customers are always first, they should be in business for a long time coming! I would definitely go back again!

Took my dog in for a quick self wash before we headed back to Houston. One of the young ladies explained how the equipment worked and went over the shampoo’s and conditioners and provided all the necessary equipment that was needed for me to give him a good scrubbing! lol She even came over and checked on us which was appreciated. All in all after about 30min my dog was fresh and clean!! Highly recommend and will be back!!
