These folks are true professionals! I brought Maggie Mae (Labrador) and my 2 year old Sampson who has never been to a groomer and he did well. He is a wiry Labradoodle and he is so soft and still smells good a week later. I came on a recommendation from a friend with a doodle who has been coming here for many years. read more

Big Dog Little Dog - Sampson and Maggie Mae - Pet Services Near Me - Denison, Texas

~Denison, TX~ Let me start right out of the gate. My 2 little girl dogs behave HORRIBLY. I mean down right awful. I've had them about 7 years. They are sisters from a different mister. Someone chose to put them out on the side of the road with an open dog crate. My daughter and I fed and watered them for 3 weeks. They would not get near us. The crate was in horrible condition. It was winter time and we couldn't catch them. We bought insulation, and wrapped the plastic crate in it. Then we bought a trap to wrap the dog crate in. Added blankets for warmth. The crate was the only security they both knew. We then taped a sign on it to contact us if they caught them. We checked on them, morning, noon, and night. We even started just going there, and sitting with them. They HATED us. To cut the story short, we caught them. One of them tried to bite me. They were mean. I brought the crate home. I put it in my backyard on the patio. They loved that crate. I would bring it inside at night. They would both sleep in it with the door removed. Finally we won, and they love us. We were able to finally throw the crate away, once they stopped going into it. Their hair was so matted when we found them it was making sores on them. When I took them to the vet for shots and grooming, someone paid for their grooming. It was $120 each dog for grooming. They were so horrible they had to put them to sleep just to groom them. They had sores all over from their hair being matted. I started trying different grooming places. Waxahachie, Red Oak, Ovilla, Sherman, my house, some ladies home that did grooming. HORRIBLE dogs. I bought a grooming table. I spent $300 on professional grooming shears. I knew I could do this at home. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE dogs. I could not groom these wild dogs. But I couldn't let them get matted either. I finally talked to a vet about putting them on anxiety or sleeping pills. Something to make them calm for grooming.! A friend suggested Big Dog Little Dog in Denison, Texas. Brian stepped up to the challenge. Brian is the ONLY person who agreed with me they are not good dogs. I admitted they are HORRIBLE. Brian is also the ONLY one who has worked with me to adjust their medication. I needed someone who could be honest with me to help these dogs. Everyone here is very knowledgeable, personable, and gets it. My dogs are HORRIBLE. My vet here in Denison, is very aware of who I am using for grooming. Brain tells me if they need more or less medication. I can reply to my vet what they need. Brian took them on and has continued to help me with them. He keeps notes, I never have to tell him how to groom them. I try to keep their haircut short because they love to run in the lake. These two girls Dixie and Trixie have grown personality wise. They now trust again. They love to travel in the car back and forth from Texas to Oklahoma. They know when I get their life vest out, they are going in the boat. They go crazy with excitement. I was always stressed out as to where to take my dogs next for grooming. This is the place. Brian is very loyal to his customers. He truly loves ALL dogs. His communication skills are remarkable. I can drop them off and finally be worry free. The place is clean, with plenty of employees. I am elated with how my girls look when they get home. Thank you Brian and staff for doing what no one else could. Thank you for working with me with these girls. I so appreciate you! #GraysonCounty #Mydogsarebad read more

When we moved to Sherman I tried a couple of different groomers for four of my Poms and just could not find a good fit. So I was driving into McKenny several times a month just to get the pups a quick cut. My aunt recommended trying out her groomer, Big Dog Little Dog, and I thought why not! I will never change groomers again. My pups love the staff here and are always excited about their trip to the beauty shop. Even my grumpy male who dislikes everyone gets super hyped, they strut around for days after their appt But better yet, they exceeded my crazy expectations of the perfect cut. Each of the Poms gets a different cut, we get everything from teddy bear to lion and something in between. They are always perfect. I highly recommend this business. They are absolutely amazing! read more

See all

I asked them not to leave my big boy in a cage but to call me when about finished and I would come wait. They never called me at all. Guy at the desk acted like no big deal but my pup was a rescue and this really set us back. Haven't been back and won't. The cut was a chop job read more

I have used them for two years. Owners are on top of their business! Run very well. Great grooming.

This place is amazing. Every time I go, they have time for me. I just go in for a nail trim and I literally go in with no appointment. They are always so friendly. The place looks great. And I am never dissatisfied with what I get!! Love it!!!!! read more

Price is reasonable but never able to interface with the actual groomer. Brian at the front desk is the only person you can talk to and he never writes done your requests. Generally I don't think he passes it on to the groomer because it is not implemented. Good basic haircut but don't expect anything more than that. read more

I took my heeler in for a bath and nail trim today. Nail trim was the main reason as his nails are really sharp. I told them when I called to make the appointment, that he was was a heeler and very hyper, only 7 months old. The man on the phone said "We deal with a lot of heelers. It won't be problem. ". I also reminded him of this at drop off this morning. Well, when I picked him up today, he only had one front and one back paw trimmed. I was told that my dog was too stressed out to finish. When I went to pay, I was charged FULL PRICE $43. I asked how much would it have been if they were able finish with them trim? He said that was with the trim and that there actually should have been a UPCHARGE. WHAT!!! You didn't even do what I brought him in for, charged me full price, then tell me you should have charged me more. I will NEVER go back. Pet Smart did a much better job, was able to trim his nails, and charged me WAY less money. read more
