Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The Bissell BarkBath Portable Dog Grooming System is generally well-received as a convenient and easy-to-use dog bathing solution, especially for larger dogs or those that dislike traditional baths. Many users find it to be mess-free, water-saving, and effective at leaving dogs clean and fresh-smelling. However, some report issues with the system not providing a thorough clean, particularly for dogs with thick or long fur. The suction power and water pressure are sometimes insufficient, and the machine can be quite loud, scaring some dogs. While the system works well for many, it may not be the best option for dogs with very dense coats or those sensitive to noise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a work to set up! I was not expecting it to be so much work. It's a cool idea but it's hard if you have a smaller dog. I have a small Maltese so it didn't go very well. Some people say it's a quiet machine but it really isn't very quiet. It's a no for me. This is more for a medium to large dog that is VERY calm.

worth it
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for fast cleaning of my dog after being outside. Nothing is better then an actual tub but this is for connivance.

Noise Not an Issue but Shampoo Canister Possibly Defective?
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an old generation of the BarkBath so I was concerned that the noise level would bother my 2 dogs but both were fine with it. However, the product appears to be defective as the shampoo wasn't being drawn down. I filled the rectangular canister that holds the shampoo and made sure that the canister was on the 'shampoo' setting and not the 'rinse' setting but when I was done, there was still a significant amount of shampoo remaining in th...

I would buy this product again

Very Pleased!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used the Barkbath once but I loved it! I have a Rottweiler and a Hovawart, Hovie's are long haired. Gave them both a bath in about an hour, which included set up and figuring out the best way to handle this with my two, by myself. It was no problem and both coats felt wonderfully clean! That was about a month ago and they both still feel and smell clean!

Works well for large, hairy dogs
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some have said it leaks all over the floor, but I didn't have much problem with that. I bathed 4 dogs over 100 lbs. While I did have to use treats and a leash this first time to keep them there because of the noise, I was able to bathe them. They were still a little wet when I finished each 1, but I didn't have the hassle of loading them in the car and taking them to a groomer or the mess in my bathroom from trying to wash them at home. Plus I ...

So far so good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used it once so far, but it seems to do a good job.

My dog & I love it.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product & so does my German Shepherd. Bathing him was hard since neither our tub or our shower were designed for a dog. We used a kiddy pool in the back yard & this was difficult. The Barkbath worked great & his thick coat dried quickly.

Great for XL dogs who do not climb into tub well.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 older bloodhounds that I usually bathe outside with a garden hose. The weather was cooling down and I really wasn't looking forward to shoving the 90lb beasts into the bathtub. Enter barkbath. It didn't take very long and I didn't really use much soap either. I had the unit right next to me for easy switching shampoo/rinse. Dogs didn't fight it, even the skittish one. Dirty water in tank when done and dog clean and shiny. I did not try...

Wow!!! LOVE IT!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this system so much! It does a pretty good job. The hose is long enough to keep the system out of sight for my three fur babies. It is easy to use and clean. The different nozzle heads are great for the different fur coats each fur baby has. They sit so nicely because they think i am brushing them. HEHE Would recommend this to anyone.

Its handy and some what useful
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 dogs, mud is an issue so this is handy but regular baths are still much needed!

Leaking Issue
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mine keeps leaking everywhere. If it wasn't for that it would be great.

So-so job.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have used this product once. Doesn't seem to do as thorough a job as I had hoped. Suspect I will still need to do a more thorough wash occasionally. Perhaps it will do better with more practice.

Saves water but I wouldn't use it ever again.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The BARKBATH Portable Dog Grooming & Bathing System is not an effective product that I would use for my home. It is very noisy, heavy, and painful to use. I've tried using it outside but its still inconvenient for me. The only positive trait about the BARKBATH is that it saves water when bathing my dog. Overall, this product deserves another look at the drawing board. 2/5 Stars.

Waste of Time, fortunately it can be returned
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my daughter who has a dog. When she opened the bo there was water in the machine like someone else had owned it and returned it. She told me it made a huge mess all over her floor. Since she was unimpressed ,I am returning it!

Hi Mary - We do test some models in the factory before packaging so there may be residual condensation left in the clean tank. We're sorry to hear you...
I bought one for myself and one for my sister.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm very pleased with the barkbath. It really does a good job cleaning two very different dogs. It's a little loud, although I put the canister in a different room. One dog is a little shy, but he tolerated a good cleaning. The other dog loved the attention, and didn't mind getting a bath. It literally does keep you from getting water everywhere and it does a great job pulling the dirty water from the doggy fur.

Hate losing money on this return.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not as happy as I thought I would be with this product. I find it a bit challenging to wash my dog with the unit. It leaks out of the hose quite a lot. I bought the unit because I was tired of my dog making our laundry room floor a mess but I actually had to clean up after the machine because of the leaking. My dog was completely fine with the noise of the machine so that was a pleasant surprise. One remark my husband made was that he misse...

Love how easy it is
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for my 85 pound dog who hates a bath. I was unable to bathe him at home prior to this. It saves me a small fortune at the groomer.
