About Barkford Lounge

A boutique dog grooming business at 15 Long Bay Drive in Torbay, on Auckland's North Shore. It uses gentle, force-free handling and products that keep coats healthy. Services include a full head-to-tail groom with an all-over clip and detailed finish on the face, feet and feathering, a hygiene tidy, a freshen-up without a full haircut, a blow-dry and light feathering for long coats, and first grooms for puppies. It also offers de-matting. As at 2026, starting prices range from $60 for dogs up to 5 kg to $145 for dogs over 30 kg, depending on the service. Enquiries are made through the website or Facebook, and the business aims to reply within 24 hours on business days.

Customers say the groomer pays attention to detail, and that dogs come home fresh and happy. One owner of an anxious mini schnauzer says the dog is comfortable and well looked after. Another says a dog who had not liked showers at home was handled with patience after a previous bad experience with another groomer. Our pick in Torbay for gentle, unhurried grooming.
