Hello Backwoods Bark Barn Family! I will tentatively be coming back from maternity leave! YAY! I will be taking clients 2-3 days a week on a limited schedule, so get in quick! The holidays are coming!!

As I open my doors once again, please be considerate and show up at the time of your scheduled appointment. Do not show up unannounced, or late, as it does impede on the subsequent appointment.

Please also have respect for the premises. This is my home, as well as my business, so please do not litter, clean up after your pet, and please do not smoke on the premises.

Thank you all, and I hope to be seeing you soon!

Good evening Backwoods Bark Barn Family! this is a notice of some new policies that will be going into effect immediately. These policies are the direct result of the vast number of no-call no-show’s we have had these past two weeks.

Though I understand many families are on spring break, if you do not show up for your appointment, that quite literally takes away a vast portion of my livelihood that I rely on to put food on my table and a roof over my family’s heads. That being said, the new policies are as such-

*** 24-hour advance notice of cancellation policy- If you cannot make your appointment, please let me know at least 24-hours in advance. This opens a window for me to be able to possibly fill your appointment time with someone else. I do understand that emergencies happen, and those will be discussed per incident individually.

*** 3 strike policy- If you are 10 or more minutes late three times, and/or are a no-call no show, we will then require you to put down a 50% deposit in advance for your groom to book an appointment. This is to ensure you are willing and committed to showing up for your pets’ appointment.

*** Matted pets- If your pets come in matted, you will be required to have them on a 4-6 week schedule to ensure proper coat maintenance dependent on length, and to also ensure the best health and well-being of your pet.🐾

Thank you all once again for your wonderful patronage, and I look forward to continuing being you and your pets’ favorite groomer! 💕

Good morning Backwoods Bark Barn Family! Recently, I have had an influx of new poodle, doodle, and oodle owners! Oodles of any kind do require a good deal of home maintenance, more than your typical everyday breeds. I have had many of these new owners ask me about bathing and drying! So I am here to answer your general questions!

If your dog likes to wallow in puddles, run in the rain, or generally get wet and dirty, you will need a variety of tools to keep yourself (and your groomer 😉) sane!

The first is a metal grooming comb! This comb you can use wet or dry, and combing down to the skin, helps to de-tangle and maintain the hair coat.

The 2nd item is one I HIGHLY suggest all oodle owners invest in. And that is a force dryer. This type of dryer is a absolute lifesaver, and will cut down on drying time. It also blows out the coat, and straightens the hair, which in turn makes grooming 100% easier!

The last item is a general slicker brush. Use this when blow-drying to fluff the coat and help straighten the hair. after fully dry, use it in tandem with the comb to take care of any tangles and mats.

The comb and slicker use every day, combing and brushing down to the skin, to keep your dogs’ hair coat beautiful and tangle free! Your groomer will thank you! 🥰🐾
