Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about memberships, grooming, and your pup’s first visit at BarkSuds Carrollwood.

Memberships & Pricing

Do I need a membership to visit?

Yes. BarkSuds Carrollwood is a membership-only salon. One-time visits are not offered.

You can book your first appointment before becoming a member, then sign up for your Bath S’Paw membership in person when you arrive.

How often can my dog visit with a membership?

Your monthly Bath S’Paw membership includes unlimited Bath S’Paw visits. Tidy-ups, full haircuts, and optional spa add-ons are charged separately.

Are haircuts included in the membership?

No. Your membership covers Bath S’Paw care. A Dapper Dog tidy-up or All Over Rover full haircut is an optional service charged per visit, in addition to your monthly membership.

These are additional services, not separate memberships. View Carrollwood’s services and pricing.

How much does a membership cost?

Bath S’Paw memberships start at $45 per month. Your monthly rate is based on your dog’s weight category.

Use our pricing calculator to see your pup’s monthly membership price and any tidy-up or full-haircut charge.

Do you offer a multi-pet discount?

Carrollwood does not offer a multi-pet discount. Each dog’s membership is priced according to their weight category.

Your Pup’s Visit

How do I book my first visit?

Book your appointment online or call 813-878-9046. New customers sign up for their membership in person at their first visit.

A release is required for each dog.

What appointment times are available?

Appointment times are Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are closed on Mondays. The salon doors open at 9 a.m.

How long will my dog’s appointment take?

Please plan for approximately 1 hour for Bath S’Paw, 1.5 hours for Dapper Dog, and 2.5–4 hours for an All Over Rover full haircut.

What is included in a Bath S’Paw visit?

Bath S’Paw includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, basic de-shedding, nail care, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing.

These services are covered by your monthly Bath S’Paw membership at no additional charge. Haircuts and optional spa add-ons cost extra. Explore our services.

Which haircut should I choose?

A Dapper Dog tidy-up is a good fit when your pup needs a light trim around the face, paws, tushy, and sanitary areas. It does not include a full-body haircut.

Choose an All Over Rover full haircut for a full-body cut. Both services are paid additions to your Bath S’Paw visit, not separate memberships.

Which optional spa add-ons do you offer?

Carrollwood offers Paw Spa Soak and Extreme De-Shed as optional spa add-ons. Both cost extra.

Ask our team in person at your visit to add either service and confirm pricing for your pup. Dapper Dog tidy-ups can be booked online.

Can I bring my dog’s medicated shampoo?

Yes. We can accommodate your dog’s medicated shampoo. Shampoos kept at the salon are stored in the lobby and labeled with the dog’s name.

Let our Carrollwood team know about your dog’s shampoo when you arrive.

What vaccination records and paperwork do you need?

We request veterinary forms and proof of vaccination, especially rabies and Bordetella. Please email the records to carrollwood@barksuds.com.

These vaccination requirements are enforced after the first visit. A release is required for each dog.

Do you use kennels or cage dryers?

Yes. Our Carrollwood salon uses kennels and cage dryers during salon visits.

Can I arrange an early drop-off, late arrival, or late pickup?

These arrangements depend on the salon’s ability to accommodate them and the number of dogs in our care. Please call 813-878-9046 to discuss your timing. Our doors open at 9 a.m.

Are there appointment cancellation or no-show fees?

Carrollwood does not charge appointment cancellation or no-show fees. To change an appointment, call 813-878-9046.

Canceling an appointment is different from canceling your membership. Membership cancellation requires 10 days’ notice by phone and in writing.

Is Carrollwood a regular salon or a training location?

Both. Carrollwood is our corporate-owned, fully operating BarkSuds salon, welcoming local dogs for bathing and grooming. It is also where new BarkSuds franchise owners complete their training.

Membership Terms & Cancellation

Is there a membership contract?

There is no long-term commitment or contract. Membership cancellation requires 10 days’ notice by both phone and in writing.

How do I cancel my membership?

Give 10 days’ notice by both phone and in writing. Call 813-878-9046 and speak with an employee or leave a voicemail.

Follow your call with written notice. Email is preferred: carrollwood@barksuds.com. To provide written notice by text instead, ask our team which number to use.
