What Reviews Say

451 reviews analyzed

BARK! Denver is highly praised for its grooming services (specifically Sadie) and the convenience of its downtown location and live webcams. While many long-term customers report happy, exhausted dogs, there is a significant dichotomy in experiences, with a cluster of recent reviews citing severe communication breakdowns and staffing shortages. Most concerning are multiple high-severity red flags regarding rough handling by staff and safety incidents caught on camera, suggesting a need for stricter oversight despite the generally friendly front-of-house atmosphere.

Worth noting

Physical abuse/Rough handling by staff caught on webcam

HAPPENED to catch one of their employees literally stomping my dog to the ground after she jumped on her... Full on shoe to ribs even after my dog was pinned.

Severe dog-on-dog aggression/injuries

my 10 month old puppy was attacked by other dogs twice during the same boarding stay, resulting in an emergency vet visit and several stitches.

Dog escaped facility

a side door opened and a dog came running out... a dog was able to ESCAPE the daycare, and almost ran down the alleyway.

Medical/Feeding negligence

picked up my dog and they had medication for him that he had not been prescribed. I had no clue if he was being given another dog’s medication.

Communication & Phone Responsiveness(12 mentions)

I’ve called the last three days in a row now, no one has answered, and no call back.

Forgotten services (Baths/Nails)(8 mentions)

I also signed her up for a bath prior to pickup on the last day and was told at pickup she didn’t receive one because they didn’t have time.

Last-minute cancellations by facility(4 mentions)

I scheduled an appointment... and they canceled on me 1 hour before the appointment. Then I tried to schedule for the soonest... but then they cancel again.
