Diana does a wonderful job every time! I discovered Diana at the start of Covid when there was no one grooming cats. Been coming here ever since.
Really great with cats, even a long haired Himalayan!
Diana is very kind and gentle with the animals. Reservations are easy to be made as she is super accommodating. My very nervous Maltese is always comfortable when going for grooming with Diana.

Really happy with the service. Staff are very loving with the animals. Prices, affordable, in comparison.
I took my poodle here and when I picked her up he smelled so bad. The haircut is not that great either.
Amazing job! Fast and caring!!!
The best place in the neighborhood, my dogs always Perfect haircut and wash ♥️
Diane is fantastic and very thorough. Our lily always looks and smells fantastic when we pick her up.
Really great experience, our pup loves coming here for a good clean and nail trim!
Love this place and the groomer here is always nice!
I took my dog to get groomed at a new place last week after coming here a month ago. They texted me that my dog had scabs on his skin, most likely from getting hurt and nicked by a razor - which would have been done by this groomer. It was aesthetically the worst haircut my dog had in his life that was performed here but she refunded me so I took down the post. But now that the other groomer says... More

But now that the other groomer says my dog was hurt also - I must warn others to stay far away from here for the safety of your dog or cat. Less
Worst experience. My dog came out worse than how he came in and he’s traumatized now. The groomer I usually take him to was booked, so I looked up any place with availability. This place had it. I took my Pom there hoping for the best.. when I come pick him up he was knotted up matted the lady said I should shave him… if anybody knows anything about Pomeranians it’s that you are not supposed to s...

I took my Pom there hoping for the best.. when I come pick him up he was knotted up matted the lady said I should shave him… if anybody knows anything about Pomeranians it’s that you are not supposed to shave them… ever. If you shave them it ruins their fur. Normally when pick my dog up from his groomers he is excited and In good spirits. Here?? He was not happy and now he’s scared to go to any groomer and starts shaking which he never did before. All these other “good” reviews must be fake. This place is small dingy has one worker in a small space and terrible service. Less
Worst haircut and grooming of my life. They did not listen to a word we said or maybe they are not skilled or educated in cutting dog hair but they butchered my poor dogs hair. If you have a yorkie or a dog who gets a haircut don’t expect them to know what they’re doing and go somewhere else.... More

Terrible cut on my dog. They've got no imagination

They were so kind and accommodating to my cat for her first bath!!
Was able to get an appointment last minute. I let her know that my family’s senior cat is a nervous cat and has bitten a groomer in the past. She kept labeling my cat as aggressive even on the phone. I arrive and explain what I want. I decided to opt out of giving my cat medicine (CBD they had) because she seemed calm when I dropped her off.

Was able to get an appointment last minute. I let her know that my family’s senior cat is a nervous cat and has bitten a groomer in the past. She kept labeling my cat as aggressive even on the phone. I arrive and explain what I want. I decided to opt out of giving my cat medicine (CBD they had) because she seemed calm when I dropped her off. Not even two hours into the service, I get a call asking me to come to the salon and help her with my cat. When I arrive I could tell my cat was terrified. She had put a plastic dome around my cats head and tied her in this rope harness on the table. She wanted me to help hold my cat down while she finished grooming her because she said my cat is aggressive and bit the other groomer. I reminded her again that my cat is 14 years old and nervous (exactly what I told her on the phone). I also wondered why they didn’t start with the dome in the first place to avoid bites…esp since I gave her details about my cats behavior. I started to help her groom my cat but the way she was flinging my cat around made me want to stop the service and take her home. Which is what I did. I paid $180 something, no receipt to actually see the break down…we did a bath, shave, dematting, and flea. But I didn’t care in that moment about price, I just wanted to take my cat. The shave job is uneven for what was done. It’s a shame because I enjoyed taking my cat to barks and bubbles, she was always so calm afterwards. I am happy my cat has been bathed and rid of her fleas and matts, but now my cat is back at home and pacing around a lot. UPDATED: I added a photo of her coat - there’s clear marks of the clippers.

They always find time for my dog's walk in nail trim and do them so well! Thankful to have them in the neighborhood.

Service exceeded our expectations. Our Australian shepherd looks amazing! Highly recommend!
If I could give 0 stars I would. We have a 7 year old dog who gets groomed every 8 weeks. We used to come here when it was barks and bubbles but due to the distance we stopped going there. It was the only place we could get a last minute appointment (now we know why) this time around so we thought we'd still be pleased, even with the new owner. How wrong were we.

If I could give 0 stars I would. We have a 7 year old dog who gets groomed every 8 weeks. We used to come here when it was barks and bubbles but due to the distance we stopped going there. It was the only place we could get a last minute appointment (now we know why) this time around so we thought we'd still be pleased, even with the new owner. How wrong were we. This is the worst cut our dog has ever had, in 7 years. We had a list of intstructions with specific areas that could be shaved down and others that we had carefully dematted that were to be kept long, including the head. The dog is now completely shaved down, and unevenly at that, for $189. She claimed the dog was XXL and that she had a scale to weigh her, yet the dog is 65lbs and falls in the large category for $119. She also claimed not to have charged for dematting (since that wasn't necessary, as she was completely shaved) so not sure where the extra 70$ comes from. I don't recommend going there unless you want a complete, uneven, shave down. Less
The place offers great services to your pets' needs. Very personable and professional...
Amazing! The best one in the area! Good attention, fast, very available!

Love their hospitality. My two mini labradoodles love the staff at cats and dogs in the bubbles. Friendly and caring service.
Wish I knew they were under new ownership! Great groomers now! Love the kindness they show with every dog! 👍
Unscrupulous charging and book keeping practices. Be careful here.
DO NOT USE THIS GROOMER! She charged me $90 to mutilate my puppy. All positive reviews are for the previous owner, the new ownership is unqualified and dangerous. What's worse, is that after calling to complain they will own up to what they did. I repeat DO NOT USE THIS GROOMER.... More

I'll be the first to admit my dog is very anxious at the groomer and I muzzle him for the safety of all involved.

I'll be the first to admit my dog is very anxious at the groomer and I muzzle him for the safety of all involved. Bark and Bubbles was our go to place and the old owner handled him with patience and care to make his experience tolerable at the least. His coat was getting too matted for me to handle on my own, so I called for an appointment. Under new ownership, Cats and Dogs in the Bubbles was able to fit my dog in last minute. He freaked out when the owner tried to pick him up, so she asked that he be given medication from the vet across the street. My dog is already on anxiety medication, but I went and paid $30 for trazadone. We gave it to him, and I left. When I came back, he was completely traumatized and shaved. They said the matting was too much and the medication did not work fast enough for them. I was disappointed that they did not take my dogs comfort into consideration, but I did expect him to be shaved as a worst case scenario. But what I did NOT expect was being charged $289. My dogs previous grooming appointments, even with dematting, were never more than $125. He is a small, 13 pound dog. I've paid extra for dematting. I've paid extra because he was fussy. But this is outrageous. I didn't say anything at the time because my baby was shivering and scared and I just wanted to take him home. But I want any potential customers to be aware that the price I was charged does not at all match the quality of the service. I won't be coming back. Less
Took good care of Boomer. His 1st visit. They were very nice.
New owners solid.
My experience was great, up until we asked if Barks and Bubbles was open for the long weekend. They were, and scheduled us for May 31st for a 9 AM appt. I messaged them a day before with no response. We got up at 8am and drove to Barks and Bubbles from Long Beach to find out they were closed. No courtesy text, no “I’m sorry”. Waste of time, DO NOT GO HERE. Very unprofessional.

I love this place for my pup. She has always gotten anxiety in the past, with other groomers; and ready to bolt out the door when I'd pick her up (from other groomers). Not with Barks & Bubbles though. She is very soft, clean, with no shedding when we leave and is so calm and happy everytime. Its like night and day.

Our go to place. They do teeth, nails, etc and it's the best prices we've seen in years. Easy to get into the schedule. Good people!
We used Barks & Bubbles for the first time today and could not be happier. We are two huskies, Max & Elvis so not the easiest as we have so much fur! Jeffray & his team did a great job on us, we look so clean! They also really looked after us with lots of water and even a walk so we could do our business! We will definitely be back!... More
