ON-SITE PET GROOMING CONSIDERATIONS

How do I prepare my dog for their grooming appointment?

Make sure your dog has had a walk or exercise, and ensure they have completely relieved themselves before their grooming appointment.

How long is a typical grooming session?

Bark With Style allows 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes for smaller pets, and 1.5 to 2.5 hours for larger dogs. The time may extend depending on the type of grooming services performed and the condition of your pet’s coat.

Am I allowed to accompany my dog?

The safety of your pet is our priority. We often find that if your dog sees their “pawrents” during the grooming process, they can get anxious. We cannot allow anyone other than your dog and the groomer in the grooming area. However, we’re happy to give you a tour!

Will my dog be crated?

Bark With Style NJ offers cage-free grooming for dogs being picked up on time.
