About
Von Barkee’s Dog Grooming in Wilmington, NC
Our Story
Von Barkee’s Dog Spa was founded in 2013 by professional groomer Nikki Beall, whose passion for animals and decades of grooming experience inspired the creation of a spa environment where pets receive exceptional care.
The brand was named after her heart dog, Bianca Von Barkee, a spunky Schnauzer whose personality helped shape the heart of the business.
What began as a single grooming salon quickly became known for its luxury spa atmosphere, compassionate handling practices, and highly trained grooming professionals.
Today, Von Barkee’s continues to grow while remaining dedicated to the values that built the brand.
