What Reviews Say
451 reviews analyzedBARK! 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.
