Our Bare Bones Storyline
Bare Bones Dog Wash is a locally owned dog grooming shop built by people who simply love dogs—plain and simple. Our mission is to provide services and products that make pet ownership easier, more enjoyable, and help dogs live long, healthy, happy lives. We opened our doors in June 2002, and ever since, we’ve been committed to offering great customer service, a clean and safe space, and a place where both dogs and their humans feel comfortable the moment they walk in. Professional grooming is our specialty. Our groomers focus on keeping your dog looking sharp, feeling fresh, and leaving with a wagging tail. At Bare Bones Dog Wash, we treat every dog like one of our own. Expect wagging tails, happy pups, and a team that genuinely enjoys what we do. Because at the end of the day, we’re dog people through and through.

Bone Bar
Introducing our new Bare Bone Bar. We have a bulk treat bar filled with tons of delicious treats curated by Ag Alchemy Pro Bakery. “It’s people food for pets! When it comes to dog treats, we know you want what’s best for your pet. So we source our ingredients carefully in the USA to ensure they meet out exact specifications. We also invest in research and development to introduce probiotics and other ingredients that offer health benefits to our pets – fruits, vegetables, grasses, and certain proteins that supply a well-balanced approach to animal nutrition.”“Sometimes a treat isn’t just a treat. With Pro Bakery Bites from Ag-Alchemy, it’s our way of showing how committed we are to sustainability. Our upcycled specialty dog treats are formulated from people food and made with probiotics for gut health – so they support a nutritious diet for our pets, while eliminating waste in our community landfills.”
Owner Profile
Piper Downing
Owner & Certified Professional Dog Groomer
Piper Downing has owned Bare Bones Dog Wash since 2021. She grew up in a small town in California. She attended Butte Community College and graduated with two degrees. Soon after, she attended Animal Behavioral College to become a certified pet groomer. Piper graduated from ABC in 2019 with certificates in pet grooming, pet CPR, and pet first aid. Since graduating, Piper has expanded her knowledge by working full time as a groomer and attending pet seminars. She moved to Oregon in 2020 and started working under Connie Manning, the creator and previous owner of Bare Bones. Since purchasing the shop, Piper has worked to maintain Connie’s legacy by maintaining the neighborhood relationships she built over the last 20 years. Piper aspires to run a small mom-and-pop shop with a welcoming, whimsical feel. Since owning the shop, Piper has brought in many new eye-catching, nose-wetting, wiggly-tail treats and raw bones. Her grandfather built the shop a brand-new raw bone bar with bulk treats and delicious dog bones. Throughout her journey in the creative world of grooming, Piper found that Standard Poodles are her breed of choice. She loves creating AKC cuts and whimsical rainbow haircuts. She has a Standard Poodle of her own named Bordeaux Jones and loves spending her extra time creating poodle art on her beloved boy. Testimonial from our owner: “I have dreamed of one day owning a small dog salon since I was a young child. When I started working at Bare Bones, I had no idea I would own it two long COVID years later. Connie has not only been a great boss and friend, but she also sold me my dream business. I want to thank her for the ability to offer the care and support that I do to our clients. I am honored to provide for my community here in Eugene. I strive for the health and happiness of your pet above all else. Thank you for your business!”
