Been taking my Cockapoo and Labradoodle to Mel since they were pups over 5 yeard ago. Always does a great job and wouldn't take them anywhere else.

We discovered Mel while she was working @ Petcetera and have followed her throughout her career. Buddy just loves her and she loves Buddy. We are so very pleased with her services and would highly recommend to her to anyone looking for pet grooming services.

Thanks Mel for always taking amazing care of Buddy!

Top of the heap -- Melanie is "A #1". The care and concern shown to my dog for several years now has impressed me to the point that I drive completely across the city to get to her. To recommend her to anyone is one of the easiest things I have ever had to do because I know that the result will be another person beating the drum about the extreme high level of skill,care and affection this young lady gives to all her customers.

I've been following Mel all over the K-W area, since she was grooming at Petcetera, because my dogs love her so much. I'm happy that she's got her own salon, the Central Bark, and she continues to give the same excellent service with great rates. She loves dogs and it shows in everything she does, always greeting Crash and Pumpkin with absolute glee.

I have been taking Molly my maltipoo to see Mel since she was a puppy 3 yrs ago. We have followed Mel from shop to shop because Molly loves her and she is fantastic with my dog. When I first started taking molly to see Mel as a puppy, she booked appointments so she can get accustomed to having the clippers around her and to make her feel more at ease. Mel is a great source for information when it comes to my dog. Molly absolutely loves Mel and gets really excited when she knows she is going to see her.

We have followed Mel since she worked at the pet grooming salon at Petcetera...we are always so pleased with her services and our dog Abbey loves her too! I wouldn't go anywhere else with my pets....unless she opened another salon :)
Thanks for all your hard work Mel!

We have been having our Maggie groomed with Melanie for 1 .5 years now, she really knows her grooming and is very caring with our Maggie. We will keep going back and she is very caring and experienced witht the animals.

Melanie is amazing with the animals. She has been grooming my little Havanese for 3 years and he is very comfortable with her. She does a great job and cares very much for "her clients".

I have been taking my dog to Melanie before she opened Central Bark. I will follow her any where! She has a wealth of information and does a wonderful job. We get so many comments on how good our dog looks.

I have followed Mel from shop to shop. Please stay where you are :) She is so good with cuddles.

We found Melanie about a year ago and boy are we happy that we did. I have two dogs that require regular grooming and she has been able to provide invaluable information regarding our dogs grooming and over all health. Central Bark has a warm and inviting atmosphere for you and your pet. Melanie has a gentle and confident approach with the animals. Finding a fabulous groomer is like finding a fabulous Hairdresser and we would follow her anywhere!

I have been taking my Bear to Melanie for a long time. The dogs love her, and she loves them. She is very friendly and caring to all pets that come to see her. Not only does she do an impeccable job of grooming, she is also very smart in dealing with many pet related issues. Once you choose Central Bark, you will search no more!
