We can't say enough THANK YOU for the owner and her team for taking excellent care of him!! For the past 7 years I've entrusted you and your staff with my fur baby grooming and you all have exceeded my expectation. The owner and her staff are very caring and trustful people. As my little man has gotten older, of course his care has had to also change and the staff here accommodate for that. Thank you again to everyone for the awesome grooming and caring!

I've been taking my two babies to Chiloe and her staff at the Animal House for years. Having recently moved out of the immediate area I tried another groomer who was more local and the care was just not the same. The personal touch, the amount of care with the clients and pets are like nothing I've experienced elsewhere. I'm so glad I've found them!

See all

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The staff was not accommodating and were very…read moreunreasonable. My puppy was "banned" from here because apparently he pees and poops too much...mind you, it called House of Dogs, so you would think they'd understand that dogs urinate and have bowel movements frequently, especially as a 6 month old puppy. Interesting enough, we now go elsewhere for his grooming and boarding and have had a very pleasant experience with 0 complaints so clearly the dog is not urinating an abnormally large amount, rather they just are not capable of handling it. So for that and the fact that they no longer want to care for our puppy the 1 Star will have to do.

My one year old standard poodle has only been groomed twice professionally. So when we brought her…read morehere for the first time she was very anxious as was I about leaving her there. At a glance the waiting room is a dump so I can only imagine what the back room looks like. After three and a half hours we picked her up only to find in my opinion the worst hair cut she has ever had yet. Even in comparison to the ones I gave her myself. She had matte's in her ears and razor burn everywhere tuff of hair here and there bald spots and smelled like flower scented carpet cleaner. I could go on and on she said she gave her a hard time and may have sores on her neck do to pulling. If after 25 years of cutting dogs hair and you have never dealt with a hard to handle dog well then I guess your to sheltered or maybe it's just time to just retire. After we got her home she was so unsettled could not stop moving. After convincing her to let me brush her ear out and a few treats and lots of hugs and a long walk did she finally relax. So if you don't mind your dog being abused a little and ruffed up only to receive a trashy haircut , and pay way too much for this haircut be my Guest. But as for me and my dog that is the first and last time for us.

This is one of the best run, caring and compassionate businesses in the Capital District. Pet Spas…read morewas the only place that I would take my dog to for services. I took my maltese here for boarding and grooming for almost 16 years (my dog just passed). In this time the cost for a grooming only went up three dollars and some change! I was always happy with his cut and reasonable time it took for him to be groomed. Amy used to groom him, she was the best. My dog always came out with a big smile on his face. The staff are ALL beyond kind and considerate towards my dog and I. I boarded him at least once or twice a year (for 10 days) in the suites with the webcams. You must book early for these on holidays. I loved checking in on him and watching him play in the doggie day care (while I missed him on vacation). The staff are attentive to any medications and/or dietary needs, and will call you if there are any major problems while boarded. This business is so great that there is a strong following of people who keep it really busy, so plan ahead for a grooming and boarding. It will be worth it. I totally recommend Pet Spas and Suites. They are so personable and caring. This isn't run like a corporate pet store where you never see the same people again the next time you come in, the crates are half the size at the corporate chain pet store. I went once and they were rude. I had a friend whom the corp. chain didn't take notes on her dog who had a hip problem (nor did they listen to the owners) and the dog ended up getting hurt- requiring surgery- costing thousands of dollars and pain and suffering to her dog. That would never happen at Pet Spa. It will be sometime before I get another pup but I know where I'll be taking him/her when I do. I will miss the Pet Spa & Suites family until then. Thank you for all the love you gave my dog Caesar and the beautiful things you did to honor his life after he passed. They meant the world to me.

Very kind people, but they will NEVER cut my doodle again. They did not follow any instructions I…read moregave them and his cut is completely uneven even around his anal area they buzzed him on one side with it not being uniform to the other. The groomer did not even greet me when I came or when I arrived to pick him up. I'm very disappointed honestly.

Awesome awesome place!! I am one who reads reviews and also post them. This place was mentioned…read moreonline and in town form several people. Thought I would call and setup an appt for my pup. And when I can in, I was greeted by the owners pretty lab. Lol. But they were great with checking us in and making sure our puppy was comfortable. She took me through the steps she would do to make him feel comfortable. Not even a good hour later he was ready. Smelled like heaven and was running around the place. We will be back.

I have been using every service CaNine has to offer for around 3 yrs now and I would and do…read morerecommend them to everyone I know. The whole team is knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and they love and care for every dog as if it were their own personal dog. Training - Sam, CaNine's trainer, is the best in the country! She helped me get my life back with my 2 pups by my side and now we are able to do EVERYTHING together! I recently went to a restaurant that didn't allow dogs in the outdoor tent dining area, but because my 2 were so well behaved they made an exception to the rule! So yes, she has helped me to achieve one of my dreams - doing everything with my dogs! Boarding - CaNine staff are now the only people I trust to leave both of my dogs with while I'm away. It's a safe environment with alarm systems and security and when my dogs are there I know they're being treated like royalty in an environment that is safe for them. Day camp - I have 2 pit bull mixes and they're FULL of energy! They come home completely exhausted from playing with all their friends!! They do report cards so you know how your dog enjoyed camp and who they played with. Grooming - Amy and her grooming staff are again the best in the country!! The best cuddle sessions with my pups are after they've been groomed by CaNine - they bring "feeling silky" to a whole new level!! The #1 thing that I've experienced with CaNine is their honesty, integrity, honorability, and their desire to give your pup a happy, safe experience while welcoming them into the CaNine family. And yes, after you've used any service that CaNine offers you will see that it is just one big family and before you know it you'll be using it all!!

My experience for the last few years grooming my Dog Sophia was postiive. Then I got another Dog,…read moreand the groomer said she would do both. Well that did NOT work out as my Yorkie the second dog is feisty. She did groom her once, and I assumed she would do it again, so when I called to make an appointment. I didn't get a call back. So I called again and said I don't know if you are ill, or on vacation but would like to set up another appointment for Sophia & Stella as I will be moving and want to get one more groom in before I move. No response again. Now my groomer ALWAYS got back to me. So, I called again and said, I assume you do not want groom Stella the Yorkie, but will you do one last groom for Sophia and you always said she was such a good dog. Again, no response. My last call to Wiggle Butts was that I thought how she handled this situation was not right. She could have called me back and stated she is too feisty but she didn't. That is NOT how a business handled PROBLEMS. I was not mad at she always did good with Sophia. I paid her prices and tipped properly. So my advice if you have a dog that is not feisty this is a good place to go, but if you have one that is, ignore this business with the plague as they do not RESPOND to your calls.

Izzy is 14 years old and she lost her best friend Sara BooBoo to cancer over a year ago. She spent…read morethe days at 1st looking out the door and her nights she slept with Mike in his room but she knew someone important was missing. We were worried she would pass too from sadness and loneliness and then we remembered THE LITTLE DOG LOUNGE down the road who takes TOTAL CARE of smaller dogs. We went there and introduced Izzy and held our breathe that they could love her because she is older than most and a wee bit ornery at home. She goes twice a week for half days and I truly believe the entire staff has fallen in love with her. She got a new name from Vicky IZZBUCKET to which she now answers. We can't thank you enough. You all stand behind rescues and their problems and for Izzy when we went away you HAND FED HER!!! and not to be crass but the cost there for the care you give is great. Thank You so much for making her happy again and the healthiest we've ever seen her. Love Donna and Mike

I would not recommend The Little Dog Lounge for grooming. My dog went to get "groomed" on Wednesday…read moreby Destiny. I have never complained about his haircut in 11.5 years. He is older with some lumps and bumps, and I am not a perfectectionist. This was completely uneven. One side of his face was significantly longer than the other. His paws, under arms, sides, and belly had random long pieces. It was evident he did not have a bath or his ears cleaned, which is listed as included under grooming description. I went back to get some of the money back for services not complete. She said nobody showed her a picture and she would fix it. I didn't realize we need to specify I wanted him to have an even haircut. She got snippy when I explained that he had dirt on his face and she stated well she doesn't know what to tell me, but he was definitely bathed. She didn't seem to care at all and I didn't feel comfortable leaving him with her in the back room after the hack job he had. Save yourself and find a more qualified groomer. Pictures don't even do justice.
