Raising the Bark
We put your pet's needs first!
The BEST way to reach us is by texting the salon at (479) 553-7311 or by contacting your groomer directly to help manage the volume of messages to the salon. If you don't have your groomer's number yet, they will be more than happy to provide you with it for the fastest scheduling with the same groomer every time!
PLEASE NOTE: Our online booking is temporarily disabled until we add a couple more groomers to our growing team. While we often have same or next day bath appointments, we are currently booked out between 2-5 weeks for sanitary and haircut grooms and the online booking may not offer spots as soon as we can while looking at the schedule directly.
Proof of the rabies vaccination is required for all new clients. We write it into their profile so it can be a hard copy, picture - sent to (479) 553-7311 , or emailed to Raisingthebarknwa@gmail.com
Owner/Dog Groomer
Before I started grooming professionally, I adopted a labradoodle named Mia and was giving her (bad) haircuts at home. I thoroughly enjoyed it so I started a training program at Petco and I fell in love with the job and the clients. I wholeheartedly enjoy grooming dogs and couldn't imagine doing anything else! I have since adopted a shih tzu mix named Tansy and two cats named Kit Kat and Snickers.
Dog Groomer
I got my start in grooming when I realized that I wasn't happy working a job I didn't love. I had always wanted to work with animals so when I had the chance, I took it and never looked back! I have 2 dogs: Rocky, & Maze(pictured), 4 cats: Feisty, Sable, Pearl, & Opal. Maze comes to work with me most days as a professional people greeter and we compete in Fast Cat events!
Dog Groomer
I have been grooming since 2015 but have been working with animals since 2008 as a dog trainer/sitter. I strive to provide a positive experience for every dog I groom and do my best to make it as stress free as possible. I have a beautiful blue heeler and three very spoiled cats.
Dog Groomer
I have been grooming since 2015. I have 3 dogs Marlo(pictured), Sophie, and Norra and we have been competing in Fast Cat events for a couple of years now!
Dog Groomer
I got into grooming after starting to groom my own dogs years ago. Or you could say it all started when I was 8 years old, going house to house offering "doggy washes", I even made my own pamphlets. I absolutely love what I do, and look forward to coming in to work to see my furry clients, and their loving owners! I have 3 dogs of my own - Layla, Remington, and Ruger(pictured).
