Love dogs? So do we.
We believe every dog deserves to strut out of a bath and/or grooming looking and feeling like a star - and we’re building a bath + grooming experience that puts both pups, bathers and groomers first.
Bowie Barker is a new modern kind of bath + grooming shop: sleek, modern, app-enabled for smooth booking, and membership options available for additional savings. Whether pet parents want to self-wash or leave it to our pros, we make grooming convenient, low-stress, and full of tail wags. The menu includes customized services to meet every dog's needs and extra attention to what we know our furry friends want.
