Pet Groomers in Jacksonville

“I recently had to move out of Jacksonville and by far what I’ll miss the most is the reliability of Bark on Park. I am completely self aware that I am an overly anxious dog owner. I have tons of questions, I ask a lot of follow ups, and I have a long list of concerns a mile long about all things related to my dog. The folks at Bark never made me feel like a bother. They answered each question in-depth and with great assurance.I took my dog there for roughly three years and he always darted excitedly right through the front door and then he always left exhausted from play. If there was an issue, Bark immediately reached out. When I boarded him, if they had any questions related to his feeding, medication, etc. - they’d reach out. If I was running late from work, they’d accommodate. I have lived in a lot of cities and my dog has been in a lot of daycares, and I have never had more peace of mind when dropping Jax off here.I really can’t recommend this place enough and the thing I’ve been dreading the most since leaving Jacksonville is finding a place I’ll trust nearly as much. Really can’t thank everyone who’s worked here and treated our dog like family for all they’ve done for us!“

“Helped us in a very difficult time. Staff was very caring and helpful; they helped our very sick puppy to peacefully“

“The staff is very efficient and kind starting upon entry and throughout the visit.. Dr November is great with our challenging Tootsie and listens to all concerns and questions. This level of care has been consistently excellent throughout our 33 years and 7 dogs.“

“Scenthound did a fantastic job with my French Bulldog puppy! I love the comprehensive assessment they give each visit!“

“I feel genuinely compelled to write this review because this experience stayed with me.

My dogs are my everything — especially Lily, who has always been extremely dramatic when it comes to nail trims. Like, Olympic-level anxiety. I was always told keeping nails short is important for a dog’s comfort, so thinking I was being a good pup mom, I convinced myself the benefits outweighed her temporary panic attacks. Still… it never fully sat right with my heart.

The moment I walked into Mel’s spa, I felt a calm I don’t usually feel in grooming situations. The space was spotless, peaceful, and welcoming — and seeing happy, relaxed pups just casually living their best lives inside instantly put me at ease. Right then and there, I knew in my soul my baby would be okay.

A few minutes later, I came back fully prepared to be tackled at the door by a frantic dog charging at me like a tiny linebacker — nails half done, eyes bulging, trauma unlocked. Because… that’s usually how this goes.
Instead? I was absolutely FLOORED.

Lily was calm. Happy. Chill. Like she’d just come back from a spa retreat instead of a nail trim. I honestly had to check that this was, in fact, my dog.

And then — as if that miracle wasn’t enough — Mel told me Lily only needed three nails trimmed. Something I never would’ve known if she hadn’t been honest. She then told me she wasn’t charging me at all and refused to take anything, even after I insisted and told her her care for my dog was priceless.

That level of integrity, compassion, and genuine love for animals is rare — and it speaks volumes about who Mel is and how she runs her business.

So whether you’re a local, just passing through, or here on vacation like I was — from one dog lover to another — your fur babies are in truly exceptional hands here. I only wish I lived closer so I could keep coming back and supporting this business regularly.

Until next year’s vacation… thank you, Mel, for your honesty, your heart, and for somehow turning my nail-trim-phobic, slightly unhinged dog into a calm, happy pup. That alone tells me everything I need to know. ?✨“

“My pup loves this place. The groomers are fantastic and take their time with my furbaby“

“I judge a place by my dogs reactions and the dogs LOVE going there. One place that I took them to for the same services I had to drag them in. Not at Birch. They’re excited to go. They love the staff and they always come back hyped up“

“I have lived in Jacksonville for the past 5 years and up until a few months ago I struggled to find a vet that was conveniently located for me, reasonably priced, and knowledgeable. I took my dog here for the first time back in November due to an emergency. They took her in with no questions asked, and I felt so good about the experience, that I decided to make them my primary vet's office. Now I take all my pets here, and I've gotten better service in just a few months than my whole 5 years in Jacksonville combined. They are addressing pre-existing illnesses, and my pets have never been healthier. I trust the vets and vet techs here completely and I am thankful to have found this office. A huge thank you to the entire staff at SJBAH, you are greatly appreciated :-)“

“Everyone was so nice and caring. Love Dr Doll. Caitlyn’s feelings better! Love Kingstrail animal hospital“

“They take excellent & kind care of my 3 troublesome cats. And they're open on Saturdays!“

“Love bringing my dogs here, they are super helpful and friendly and they take their time with my girls ??“

“Your fur baby will be well taken care of and will receive lots of love from the staff. Linda knows every overnight boarder and day boarder by name. You will never have to worry. Your fur baby won't want to leave.“

“Great place for grooming for your Fur babies where friendly staff and takes care of your fur babies like thier own. Highly recommended them.“

“Everyone is so friendly and my dog loves going there and getting hugs from everyone there.“

“Patty does an amazing job grooming my pet. She is always prompt when scheduling appointments and takes the time to provide helpful feedback and/or recommendations for your pet’s care.“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dogtopia and the incredible care Tyson receives there. Our boy is full of energy, curiosity, and mischief — and somehow always manages to find trouble, whether it’s swallowing a magnolia pod from the backyard or tearing a nail during playtime.

What continues to amaze us is how attentive and caring Peggy and her staff are. Recently, Dogtopia noticed Tyson had a torn nail that wasn’t even bleeding yet. They immediately took a picture and sent it to us so we could contact our vet. Another time, they noticed a small amount of blood in his stool and contacted us right away. Thanks to their quick attention, we were able to have Tyson checked immediately, and thankfully it was only stomach irritation from something he had eaten.

The level of observation and care they provide is beyond impressive. With so many dogs in their care, the fact that they notice even the smallest changes shows how much they truly love and watch over every dog like family.

We never worry when Tyson is at Dogtopia because we know he is safe, loved, and in the best hands possible. Peggy and her team go above and beyond every single time, and we are so grateful for everything they do.

Tyson may keep everyone on their toes, but Dogtopia has proven time and time again that there is no better place for him. ❤️?

“Brought my kitty in for grooming on recommendation by my neighbor and she did a really nice job. I usually take them to the vet groomer but they can come back with the coat looking rather chopped up but Olga took good care. She even had something to help my cats dandruff. I will definitely bring my girl back again.“

“Fantastic service and very caring staff! My dog looked amazing after grooming, and the whole experience was quick, friendly, and stress-free. Highly recommend Barkside Grooming & Spa!“

“Very happy to switch to this clinic. Everyone is very communicative and Dr. Williams is super thorough and great at giving discharge instructions. Thankful for catching a tumor on my dog that previous vet didn’t.“

“I have never used a groomer prior to going to Dog Life. I am absolutely floored at how compassionate and caring they are. They do an amazing job and are very flexible. I acquired a sweet senior havanese who had not been groomed in months and they did such a phenomenal job getting her back in shape that I brought my senior shepherd/lab mix for a bath and deshed. I bathe her monthly but can never seem to get her completely clean or shed free. Highly, highly recommend!“

“My Chanimals (children animals) were introduced to a new groomer (Sheila Pet Grooming) for the first time in their lives. I was hesitant, my husband was very nervous, because our original groomer was on vacation and we needed them groomed before the July 4th weekend.

The first impression of a business goes a long way,

I did not realize that the owner was the person who came out front,, didn’t asked my name or my pets name, just proceeded to grab my pet as I was trying to explain who I was and my pets name (it was our first time).
I asked to speak to someone else, and Angela came out, she listened and was more Customer Service friendly which made me and my husband feel better about leaving our babies.

Shelba, please understand customer service goes a long way..

Overall, my babies were pleased and looked fabulous with their grooming and so was I.

So, will we use their services again, Yes…

Thank you“

“How to take my dog there. She was having issue with one knee. Excellent service. Doctors was really good. We have deck our pets over there before caps and dogs. They're very very good. They also offered laser therapy for your pets. Very good!“

“Brenda has bathed and groomed my dogs for 15+ years. She’s kind, thorough, punctual, and she loves our dogs as she loves hers.“
