Our Story

Bark & Bristle started with a simple idea, dogs deserve better than a rushed ten-minute trim. What began as one groomer with a steady hand and a lot of patience has grown into a small, dedicated team who treat every dog like their own. No shortcuts, no stress, just proper grooming done right.

Meet the team

The hands your dog will actually meet

Marco

Marco started Bark & Bristle after years in busy salons watching dogs get rushed. With 7 years behind the table, he takes the nervous first-timers and the big breeds, and never hurries a dog that needs a minute.

Sarah

Sarah is our scissor specialist, with 6 years hand-finishing doodles, poodles and anything with a coat that keeps growing. Breed standard or soft and fluffy, she’ll get the shape just right.

Anna

Anna brings 12 years of grooming experience to the team, with a focus on double-coated breeds. She’s the one to ask if your dog needs something more particular than a standard trim.

She’s grand! Settled in the quiet corner with a chew. We’ll text you at the halfway point.

All done! Ready from 12:30 ✨

SHE LOOKS LIKE A TEDDY BEAR 😭 On my way!

The answer

Most full grooms take 2–3 hours, depending on size and coat. We never double-book the table, so your dog isn’t left waiting in a crate while we juggle others. We’ll text you the moment they’re ready.
