About Us
We love our dogs. We consider them family. The health and wellness of our pups is paramount, but finding the right groomer was never easy. Who can you trust? When can you get an appointment? How often should your dog be washed? What extra services does your dog need? We wanted the best care for our dogs and were left with many questions, so we created the answer. Bowie Barker bath and groomerie offers personalized services for every pup. Customizable options that range from full-service grooming to self-serve wash stations for every size dog.
