Precious Jones
Groomer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had three passions—reading, anime, and animals. I inherited all three from my late grandmother, who filled her home with thrift store books, gritty anime tapes, and a whole litter of Shar-Peis. In 2021, I finally found a way to bring those passions together through dog grooming. Now I spend my days surrounded by fluff at work and my downtime immersed in creative storytelling. It’s a win-win
So fresh. So clean. Dog Grooming Reimagined
Enjoy cuddling with your soft, clean, healthy, and happy pup.
I’ve really tried to give Central Bark multiple chances, but after several disappointing experiences, I can no longer justify bringing my dog—or my money—here.
On two separate occasions, I picked up my dog with a strong smell of pee and literal poop all over her coat, which is completely unacceptable for a daycare setting. During another stay, I was supposed to receive a report card, which never came.
While I do appreciate that management has reached out after every incident, the repeated issues combined with the price increases make it clear that the quality of service does not match what they’re charging.
Today was the final straw. I came in for a groom and was quoted one price, only to be charged something totally different at checkout—including a matting fee even though my dog did not have matting. I ended up paying $75 for essentially a bath and blow dry, as the cut was not done how I asked, and the front desk employee had a noticeably poor attitude. They didn’t even attempt to rebook me or make things right.
Because of all this, I’ve decided to cancel my membership and take my dog elsewhere. I really wanted to love Central Bark, but the inconsistency, lack of care, and sub-par service have made that impossible.
Since then I have continued to bring my dog for Daycare, Boarding, and Grooming services. My dog has learned to be more social and how to play nicely and safely with other dogs and people, while also being well groomed. And all of this done in a safe environment where all of the dogs are well behaved and friendly. I am continually impressed by the staff being not just professional but warm and welcoming to my dog.
I would strongly recommend anyone looking for Daycare, Boarding, or Grooming Services to visit Central Bark Atlanta. And if you have a new puppy, visit them for Puppy Hour on Saturdays.
