Tried and Trusted since 2009

It's a great privilege for our independent family-run salon to remain a key destination for dogs and their humans in the Kensal Rise and Queen's Park Community for so many years.

START WITHOUT THE STRESS

Our location at Pear Tree Yard is set back from the street. If you're driving, you can pull your car onto the yard. No hovering wardens. No congested pavements. An opportunity to ease into the salon reception and have a meaningful conversation with your dog's groomer.

An oasis of calm away from the clanging and banging of traffic and congested pavements.

It's restful. It's easy. It's SAFER.

 

SAFETY, SECURITY AND WELFARE

  • NO FREE-ROAMING DOGS

    • all dogs are secured separately from each other - though members of the same family can share a dedicated space (no free-roaming dogs!)

  • ONE-ON-ONE CARE

    • we're a small salon with two dedicated groomers and an assistant and/or Manager. Our capacity is strictly limited and all treatments are provided one-on-one at a restful pace. 

  • NO STAIRS

    • No stairs and all the attendant risks, especially for any dogs (or their humans) with mobility issues (we don't groom 'downstairs' - the salon is on the ground floor next to reception).
Dog Grooming Best Practice

HOLISTIC Grooming

At Just Barking all grooming is holistic – which means that we take an interest in your pet’s overall health and well-being.

All grooming starts with a general health check to ensure your dog's fitness for grooming. If we spot anything that may require a vet's attention, we'll let you know.

Regular grooming is a great way of staying on top of ear cleanliness, healthy nails and pads, plus any skin conditions or lumps and bumps that you might not otherwise notice.

 

TREATMENTS

  • FULL GROOM

    • General health and fitness check with each visit
    • Two warm water baths in all-natural shampoo
    • Blow-dry and brush out to ensure coat health  
    • Scissoring and styling to breed standards
    • Cleaning the ears
    • Trimming the nails

    Pricing varies. Allow 90 minutes to two hours.

  • DONE-FOR-YOU DOG WASH

    For those moments when the dog isn't smelling too fresh or has rolled in something awful and you really just need somebody to sort it out. Two warm water baths in a natural shampoo followed by a quick blow dry. This is not a full dry and brush out - your dog will leave slightly damp.

    Pricing £20-30. Allow 30 minutes.

  • ULTRASONIC TEETH CLEANING

    New developments in science and technology mean that we can clean your dog’s teeth with a Non-Vibrating Ultrasonic Tooth Brush.

    The dental hygiene treatment is ideal at removing bacteria from the teeth, gums and mouth. It also softens plaque and tartar for easier removal to prevent damaging of the enamel.

    Pricing £45-55. Allow 45 minutes.

  • HAND STRIPPING

    We are able to provide hand-stripping (a traditional treatment that doesn't involve clippers. It's more chalked fingers with the aid of a stripping instrument gently to remove the coat that gives away easily). Common among terriers or other wire-coated breeds intended for breeding or Show (useful tip: if your dog is spayed or neutered, this may affect the coat development).

    £20-40 on top of standard breed pricing. Allow two visits - the stripping and bathing/finish are done separately to prevent bacterial skin infection (furunculosis).

  • OXYGEN SPA

    Just Barking is the first London salon to offer a Microbubbles Oxygen Spa. This is an immersive and effervescent all-natural specialist treatment known to assist skin health and recovery. No chemicals. 100% natural (purely oxygen-saturated water). Also helpful with recurring ear infection.

    Pricing £75-125. Allow up to two hours. [CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE]

  • THE 'QUICKIE' NAIL TRIM

    No appointment required. You are welcome to stop into the salon between 930am and 330pm Tues-Sat for one of the groomers to trim your dog's nails.

    Pricing £15-20. Allow 5-10 minutes.

  • PAWDICURE

    A gentle and relaxing Tea Tree foot soak and pad massage & moisturise. Add-on to Full Groom or DFY Dog Wash.

    Pricing £15. Allow an additional 10-15 minutes.

  • QUICK VISIT / TIDY-UP

    No appointment required. Simply pop into the salon between 930am and 330pm Tues-Sat if your dog requires a simply 'tidy' to its face (hair in front of the eyes, strategically shaving matts out of the ears etc), feathers that need a quick trim or the hygiene area that may benefit from fewer wispy bits of hair and the like.

    Pricing £15-20. Allow 5-10 minutes.
