A 450 square metre space on Victoria Street in Te Aro, Wellington, where dogs are grouped by temperament while their owners are out and about. The Barking Lot offers dog daycare and grooming, and says it has been caring for Wellington's dogs since 2013. Every dog does a short trial first to check it will be happy in daycare. Then it can stay for a full day or a half day, playing, sleeping and burning off energy under the supervision of the team. The grooming covers baths, blow-drying and de-shedding for puppies and grown dogs, for all breeds and sizes. The website says there is lots of parking next door.
Grooming comes up most often in customer reviews. One reviewer says a Toy Poodle's first haircut was done fantastically well, and another calls the crew friendly and the location handy for their office. One reviewer says the hours are good, and another enjoys the photos and videos of their dog playing with others at daycare. A third praises the treats and customer service, although they do not take their own dog there.
