About The Barking Lot

The Barking Lot has been serving the Henrico, VA area’s pet grooming needs since 1990.

Located at 606 N Belmont Ave, Richmond, VA 23221, The Barking Lot operates as a pet groomer serving Richmond in Virginia. 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.

In Richmond, 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 Virginia, 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.

The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. The most common schedule is 7:30 am–5:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (804) 358-4038. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, thebarkinglot.info.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 141 reviews, which is a strong result for a pet groomer in Richmond and suggests consistent service.

Richmond is in Virginia, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Richmond follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

After much research on groomers, I took our 3 dogs here for nail trims. They accept walk-ins until 2pm every day! Although it's street parking, I was able to park right out front. Rowan, the sweetest young girl, was behind the counter to greet us as soon as we walked in. They took all 3 pups right away, no wait. Luke, one of the groomers (&possibly owner?) was extremely friendly and gladly agreed to add in a sanitary trim, aka a "Brazilian cut," for my long haired female pup, during her nail trim. I was very pleased w my experience here and will definitely be back.

We have gone sporadically to The Barking Lot for a couple of years now. There was a miscommunication with the preference card recently and I was less than pleased with the grooming service provided. However, when I called to discuss it with the owner, he was more than happy to help. He went through and investigated the situation/preference cards, did not blame it on staff, all while trying to provide the best customer service he could. They were able to fit my two dogs in last minute which I appreciated and they did an excellent job. Even if it was a sub optimal groom, having an owner who works with customers to try and navigate problems and make them right makes this business stand out. Thank you!

I brought both my cats in for grooming before guests arrived at my house for the weekend. Usually after grooming they hide for hours, but this time they seemed surprisingly comfortable afterward. The staff handled them gently and even separated them because one gets stressed by loud noises. Their coats felt soft and looked much healthier by the next day. Front desk communication could’ve been slightly quicker during check-in, but once the appointment started everything moved smoothly and professionally.

My 4 yr old miniature poodle has been very difficult with groomers since his first time. I decided to try The Barking Lot because the reviews mentioned difficult dogs doing well here. Not only did they do a fantastic job getting all his mats and hair off, they said he was very good! I did give him a vet recommended tranq (Tramadone) before we left home and I'm sure it helped but I've tried that before and his previous groomer still complained about his behavior. The people at The Barking Lot must have the right attitude and attention to relax him. I highly recommend them! Yes, he's cute with long hair, but so itchy and uncomfortable and matted everywhere. We've found our furever groomer! Thanks Barking Lot!
