Bark Side of the Groom

Bark Side of the Groom Stress Free Dog Grooming Services by Michelle Porterfield I've worked in the dog grooming industry since 2014 and have been actively grooming dogs since 2017.
(2)

My goal is to create a calm, stress free environment and to provide one on one grooming services for your family pups. I do not schedule overlapping appointments, so there are never dogs from separate clients together nor do I kennel. Everything is done from my home in Lufkin (address will be provided once an appointment is scheduled).

Hey ya'll! A little update for the summer and for going forward! Just a heads up that I will not be scheduling any appointments between July 2nd and July 9th.
For all scheduled appointments, please make sure you give your pup a chance to potty before bringing them in. Excessive accidents may incur additional charges. (Every accident causes delays and requires multiple steps for cleaning and sanitizing).
Your appointment time is your drop off time. If you arrive early, you may text that you're here, but there's not a guarantee that I'll be ready to take your pup quite yet. Arriving over 20 minutes late for appointment could result in cancellation. No-shows, repeatedly late or last minute cancellations will require 50% of missed appointment to be paid prior to being scheduled again.
I will always give a heads up towards the end of the groom for when your pup will be ready, and I do ask that your pup is picked up within 30 minutes of that estimated time.
Ya'll, I'm just a one woman operation and this only works if every one is on the same page :)

I absolutely have been terrible about taking pics or posting! 🤷🏼‍♀️ So maybe I’ll try to commit to a monthly photo dump of pups. 😬

Coco’s grin may look slightly snarly but she’s truly a sweetheart. She also just couldn’t understand why on earth I wanted her to sit in front of the tree instead of piling into my lap for cuddles 😂

Ooof, realized I haven’t posted any grooming photos in a while! I promise, I’m still taking appointments. I’ve just been horrible about taking photos and even worse about posting them! I’d say I’ll do better, but I’d hate to get anybody’s hopes up! 🤣

Coco was thrilled to pose for photos as long as the squeaky toy was repeatedly squeaked 😂

I’ve been bad about not taking photos (or only getting blurry photos of excited zoomies) after grooms these last few weeks.

But here’s Abigail looking really sleek and smooth after her visit with me. ♥️

If you’ve messaged my page with questions concerning grooming or appointments but haven’t received a response, please message me again. There have been issues with the messenger app either not sending through to me or not sending my responses. I do apologize for the frustration!

Just a reminder that I will not be scheduling any appointments from Thursday June 15 through the following week. Appointment openings will begin again on Monday June 26th. Thanks y’all!

Coco just needed a bath and freshening up today. She’s another pup that thinks this house is actually her second home and wonders why I haven’t offered to pour her a tall glass of kibble. 🤣
