Barks & Rec

Located at Next to MPLS Farmers Market NO LONGER IN, THE VARIANT BUILDING, 400 Lakeside Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405, Barks & Rec operates as a pet groomer serving Minneapolis in Minnesota. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as dog walker, pet boarding service, dog day care center, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

In Minneapolis, price depends on breed, size, coat condition and temperament: small short-coated dogs cost least, while doodles, poodles and double-coated breeds take longer and cost more, and matting adds a dematting fee. Ask whether the groomer is certified, how dogs are dried (cage dryers versus hand drying), whether rabies vaccination proof is required in Minnesota, and how long your pet will stay. Most dogs need a groom every four to eight weeks. Saturdays and the weeks before holidays book up first, so schedule ahead and check the listing for hours, phone number and Google rating.

Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (612) 210-2750.
