Frequently Asked Questions

  • Pricing varies based on your dog’s size, coat type, and grooming needs.

    Every dog is unique, so pricing depends on factors like coat condition and breed size. You can view a full breakdown of our services and pricing on our Services page.

  • Yes — we use IV San Bernard, a world-renowned, veterinarian-formulated product line.

    We specialize in skin and coat care using Iv San Bernard products, which are trusted by veterinarians and known for their science-backed formulas. Whether your dog has allergies, sensitivities, or special skin concerns, we select the perfect shampoo and treatment for their individual needs.

  • No, we currently only groom dogs.

    At this time, Bark’n Beauty Spaw focuses exclusively on dog grooming to ensure we provide the highest-quality, specialized care possible.

  • Most dogs should be groomed every 4–6 weeks.

    Regular grooming keeps your dog’s coat, skin, and nails healthy. For most breeds, a 4–6 week schedule helps prevent matting, reduces shedding, supports skin health, and keeps them looking and feeling their best.

  • Appointments typically take 1–3 hours depending on your dog’s coat and service.

    Because we groom one-on-one with no distractions, most sessions fall within 1–3 hours. Larger breeds or dogs needing specialty services may take a bit longer — but each dog receives dedicated, individualized attention start to finish.

  • No — our luxury grooming van is fully self-sufficient.

    Our van is solar-powered and runs on lithium-ion batteries (not a generator), making it quiet, clean, and eco-friendly. We bring our own water supply, climate control, and power — all you provide is your pup.

  • We service all of Orange County and San Onofre housing on Camp Pendleton.

    Bark’n Beauty Spaw proudly brings luxury mobile dog grooming to every city in Orange County, as well as the San Onofre housing area on Camp Pendleton. We come directly to your home for a convenient, stress-free grooming experience.

  • You can book online, call, or text us anytime.

    Simply visit our booking page to choose your service and time. If you’re unsure what your pup needs, feel free to call or text — we’re happy to help you select the right option.

  • Yes — we welcome all breeds, sizes, ages, and coat types.

    Whether you have a tiny toy breed, a double-coated fluffball, or a giant gentle giant, we provide tailored grooming to fit their unique needs. We also specialize in handling dogs with behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special care needs.

  • Yes — Shelby is a certified groomer with advanced training and four years of experience.

    Shelby is a certified dog groomer with four years of professional experience. She is also certified in canine first aid and CPR, trained in pet skin care, and known for her exceptional ability to read dog body language. Her compassionate approach has earned her a reputation as a true dog whisperer.

  • We require 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.

    We understand that life happens, but because mobile grooming involves dedicated one-on-one time for your dog, we have a strict cancellation policy:

    • 24+ hours notice: No fee

    • Within 24 hours: A fee of 50% of the scheduled grooming service

    • Same-day cancellations or no-shows: 100% of the service price

    This ensures that we can fairly compensate for lost appointment time and continue providing reliable service to all of our clients.

  • Most dogs relax more when owners are not present.

    To keep your dog calm and focused, we typically groom without owners inside the van — but don’t worry, we send updates, photos, and videos throughout the process. You’re always kept in the loop.

  • We provide compassionate, one-on-one luxury mobile grooming tailored to each dog.

    Bark’n Beauty Spaw is a military family-owned, fully self-powered mobile grooming service that brings high-end, personalized care to your doorstep. Shelby works one-on-one with each dog, using top-tier Iv San Bernard products and an intuitive, compassionate approach to grooming. We focus on comfort, safety, stress-free handling, and tailored grooming for every personality and coat type — from shy and nervous pups to high-energy goofballs.
