Blue Collar Doghouse - A few days after her groom - Pet Groomers Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Not great, was okay, but my dog's nails were cut terribly, and they were filled with dirt that hadn't been there when we dropped him off.

Nothing but good to say. Very helpful, accommodating, friendly staff. Generous supplies for the self-wash. Nice treats for sale after bath. read more

Self Wash Review: I went on a Monday at noon and two dogs walked in right before me and mine. The check-in assistant told me that it might be a long wait and maybe I could walk my dog while we waited. Unfortunately as a basic human being I cannot control when a person decides to wash their giant long hair schnauzer 3 seconds before me. So I inquired about reservations and returned the following morning. They were ready and waiting for us! Everything was as clean as it could be. I don't understand the negative reviews about cleanliness, how do dog salons stay fricken clean? The tub was clean, the shampoo and conditioner bottles were labeled and freshly filled. Aprons were nice and not dingey. The selection of brushes and combs was magical! I've been wanting to try a deshedder brush! I loved this place and my boy is so fresh and so clean! We will be back!! Worth the $30!!! If they had a spend $150 and get a free wash or a self wash punch card that would be nice too! Lastly, the staff were friendly. Idk how much the negative reviewers want staff to talk but I don't want to have a conversation while trying to clean my dog and get on with my day! If you are looking for conversation, Edmonds off leash dog park is 0.1 miles away. read more

Blue Collar Doghouse - Upset Pup in the self-groom bath! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

The staff treat your pups as their own. My pups having being coming here for 5 yrs and are so excited to come here.

I can't say enough good things about Blue Collar Doghouse. Our Shih Tzu, Minnie, is very shy and timid, and Barb always does an amazing job grooming her with such care and kindness. Minnie walks out looking like an adorable little fluffball and so beautiful. Then there's our other dog, Max... oh, Max. He's a ShiChi, and he can be challenging--he's anxious and can get aggressive during grooming, so handling him can be tough. Carlos took on the task like a total pro and did an outstanding job. Max came out looking great without any stress or issues. Both Barb and Carlos truly went above and beyond to ensure our dogs had a positive experience. I'm so grateful for their expertise and care, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great grooming salon! read more

Self service wash. This place went from a 4-5 rating to a 1-2 rating very fast. Initially I was impressed with the business. It was a nice set up, clean, plenty of large towels, and they'd even trim your dog's nails for $10. Now, the only interaction I had with the staff was to tell me to close the shampoo bin, no large towels, just two little hand towels, dirty station, hair everywhere, and I feel like I'm a nuisance even being there. Going back to previous business. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Collar D. Business Owner May 8, 2024 LJ, I am sorry you had a bad experience today. There is a large sign that asks you to not do what you were doing, which is why we had to ask you to do so. This is actually to keep things clean, and keep hair away from the self-wash tools, as you have complained about. We are a grooming salon and there are grooms happening while you self wash, so hair is inevitable, though we do our absolute best to keep things as clean as possible. The cost is competitive within our market, and you are more than welcome to ask for large towels. As you also may have noticed, we did have an emergency water situation outside of our control during your time in self wash, so yes our focus may have been a little bit skewed today. Nothing has changed in over a year, and it's unfortunate that you chose one experience to leave a detrimental review to a local small business. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE based on owner's (didn't post name) response. I probably would have removed my negative review by a simple follow up, i.e., - "Sorry "we" disappointed you today, please give me a call at...", so we can talk. Instead you chose to put all the blame on the customer for a "their" poor experience & offer justifications, but no apology anywhere. I will apologize for not closing the lid to the shampoo container, I now understand you consider that a major infraction, but the only interaction outside the front desk was your nasty reprimand while I was trying to bathe a very nervous dog. I was not aware of a water problem since I saw several groomers working normally at that time. This does help to explain why all 3 of your staff that walked by me several times never once made eye contact & looked miserable. No way did I was going to ask anyone for towels or anything else for that matter! So, your response indicates how you handle problems or issues including playing the pity card on how could I do this "to a local small business". Keep in mind that most people won't speak up, they just don't return. As I indicated, initially I would have rated you 4-5, but sorry, based on my experiences, things have deteriorated. read more

We've taken our dog here multiple times, each time they've had our dog back there for who knows how long before they called us, if they even did yet. Then on the last grooming appointment they clipped the nails so short and there were hangnails everywhere too. Our dog didn't want us to even touch her toes when we got home. For what it's worth the store and items they sell were nice. There were toys, cookies harnesses and leashes. read more

I absolutely love this place. The entire staff is amazing and they treat each dog with love and kindness.. highly recommend!!!

Our dog loves Blue Collar for Day Care! Great experience with grooming there as well. We know he's in good hands there!

Small or medium dog owners be aware. They don't offer separate areas for large vs smaller dogs and they don't monitor the area as well as they claim they do. My dog has been injured twice now in less than a month period. She is 25lb. I called and spoke to a manager named Jessica. Such a rude person, claims she knows as much a veterinarian . I requested our pre-paid days back since they don't do a good job taking care of my dog and I have paid enough vet bills already. she refused and said the contract for the daycare says they are not responsible for when things happen to the dogs and so she won't give my pre-paid days back since it's my choice to go or not. And then the nice person she is, she hung up on me. Do your self a favor and find a better small business. read more

Blue Collar Doghouse - My dog's eye wouldn't even open. Had to take her to the vet - Pet Groomers Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Love this place! Reasonable pricing, awesome staff, and conveniently located close to the off-leash area. I always go for the self-wash. Nail trim & ear cleaning are included in the price. They provide everything you need; aprons, shampoo, conditioner, towels, treats, brushes and cologne, if you're so inclined. In the winter, it can take a good 5 minutes for the water to warm up, but be patient and soon enough you'll be giving your pupster a nice warm bath. I like that I can take my time blow drying & brushing out the fur factory that is my pup, and I've never felt rushed by the staff. This is a great way to end an afternoon romping at the off-leash, I definitely recommend! read more

Blue Collar Doghouse - Pet Groomers Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

My dog got a hair in her eye when being groomed. She was given a protective cone so that she would not scratch her own eye. We left the cone on until it was gone like we were instructed. I am grateful for their solution and the hair floated itself out within a few hours. read more

Kayla is awesome!! My dog has anxiety, and Kayla was the first groomer to ever make my dog feel comfortable. Great job, Kayla!!

Took my 65-pound dog here for self dog wash. The station was dirty, with lots of dog hair all around. There were no clean towels; I had to ask for them and the attendant brought a few small towels. The shampoo bottles are unlabeled, and although there's a key, it's difficult to tell what's what. The station is poorly designed for a dog that can't be lifted up and down. The ramp is much too steep for a dog of our size. She was anxious to get down the ramp and could have easily hurt herself scrambling down. I don't like giving bad reviews, but I wouldn't want someone else to have the bad experience we did. read more

The Groomer that did my dog did amazing job I love how he turned out highly satisfied Customer I highly recommend this place

Their website says they groom problem dogs (they say it in a kind way) and they do! Our dachshund mix HATES having his nails trimmed and we have tried and failed to bribe and desensitize him to the process for years. I wish we would have called in the professionals sooner. The experience was courteous and efficient from start to finish. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure. read more

My dog was injured here with mishandling of the hairdryer. Staff is underprepared and poorly trained. Manager is unreasonable and is riding off the last managers/owners good reputation. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. Also side note, please tell me you guys have scrolled far enough to see the way jessica responds to her clients?? So unprofessional and outright rude. I WILL NEVER BE BACK! read more

I had my dog groomed here for the first time last week and will never bring him back. When I picked him up he was wildly pawing at his eyes. He was so frantic that I didn't even make it to the car, but went back inside and asked to chat with the groomer. The groomer came out and was compassionate and genuinely puzzled about what had happened. Then, the owner/manager came over and joined the conversation. She said, "He must have a hair in his eyes. He'll stop in a bit." When he didn't stop, she offered to SELL me a cone. As he continued pawing at his eyes, she decided to give me the cone and picked out one that turned out to be too small. When I got my dog home, I popped off the cone to let him dash into the backyard and potty but he immediately resumed pawing at his eyes. I put the collar right back on and drove him to the vet. It turned out that he had abrasions covering one entire cornea and more abrasions on the other. When I told the owner what had happened she informed me that stuff like this happens sometimes, there are risks with grooming and that he must have scratched his cornea when I took the cone off him at home. I presented her with the $350 bill for his first vet visit. She said she couldn't help me with the bill. The best she could do was credit the price of the groom. I now have a follow up vet bill for $120. So, a $160 groom turned into a $470 vet bill and an owner/manager (Jess) who showed no compassion, no curiosity about what happened to my dog and attempted to blame me for the injuries. Just unbelievable! read more

Blue Collar Doghouse - My dog with his eyes squeezed shut and a properly fitted cone from the vet - Pet Groomers Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Such good service here. I bring my dog in for nails and I'm consistently happy with how good they are with my pitty. I had put off getting his nails done for a bit and when I brought him in, the girl told me she did the most she could, but I'd want to bring him back in a week and a half to trim them back a bit more, because she wanted to clip them back more but didn't want to risk hurting him. Owner told me next time I come back we'll call it one service and wouldn't have to pay. read more

Clearly this owner has no idea what she's doing. The staff here seem visibly under-trained and she clearly doesn't know how to be a decent person. Working in customer service isn't a job for everybody and it clearly isn't for her. Not to mention the way she's been responding to all of these poor yelp reviews with pettiness and sass? Unacceptable. read more

Am so pleased to have found this wonderful Doghouse! I had to wait a bit to get appointments for my standard poodles but after the appointment today I can't wait to see what they do with my other poodle. Today the appointment was to start to fix a few problems with the last grooming my boy had, which was unacceptable. Not only were the people so friendly and engaging, but he looks fantastic. They are going to continue to work with him over the next few months and give him a chance to grow his beautiful head hair (it was completely shaved off). They clearly know what to do, and although I know my dog is perfectly obedient during grooming, it was nice to hear that they liked him too! He is so happy, and so are we! I'm so grateful to Blue Collar Doghouse! read more

Would have been nice if they had called/ emailed to: 1) let everyone who had appointments know they were closed 2)reschedule everyone who's been waiting for months to get an apt... Very disappointed, as a business who had reservations you should at least tell everyone how long you'll be closed and reschedule read more

Water is too cool And no adjustment allowed. Take your own supplies. Awful shampoo, conditioner and brushes. Won't allow use of their scissors to remove a mat. Won't go again. read more

PLEASE READ!!! ***After I posted this review yesterday (which was my first yelp review ever) I did 2 more yelp reviews on my apartment complex and my favorite place to eat and for some reason the owner of Blue Dog Collar wants to point out that I have other reviews as if I'm lying? This place and the owners are a joke. For when you re-read this I am not outraged I am shocked. Neither me nor my wife have ever seen a place ran so poorly with such unknowledgeable staff and never would I have imagined the absolutely disgusting environment which is your dog wash. Instead of trying to point out where you think I lied perhaps you should address the issues I brought up and take steps to make sure others don't have the same experience I have had.*** My wife and I took our 8 month old blue heeler to the self service wash today at Blue Collar Doghouse and we are both absolutely shocked at the experience. First we were brought back to the wash area and not only the floor but the tub we were given to wash our dog was full of wet dog hair (obviously from many different dogs) and old pet nail clippings. I used to work at Pet Vet Market in Abq, NM and my entire job was simply washing and sanitizing the tubs IMMEDIATELY after every wash. It was very clear they hadn't been cleaned in a long time so I asked the lady at the front desk if they were short staffed or if they just didn't clean the tubs or what was going on and she told me she was the grooming manager and they only clean the tubs once a night with bleach at the end of the day which is absolutely disgusting (imagine trying to wash your dog and you see wet dog hair from someone's else dog clumping at her feet!). Next issue was this young lady who approached us and offered to trim my dogs nails so I asked her if she was experienced and knew what she was doing to which she answered "well I have a lot of experience with dogs I have 2 Great Danes" which didn't really make me confident in her skills but I figured I'd let her try it out. My dog has never bit anyone EVER very sweet girl but this lady would flinch and pull away every time my dog even looked at her and then told us "sorry I'm just better with bigger dogs like Great Danes" (literally makes no sense) so then the grooming manager came and also offered so we let her try and she was also very unable to trim the nails and it was hard watching her try so hard. My wife and i finally gave up on there efforts and cradling our dog, gave her a bone, and got it done. We have never trimmed nails before and we made it happen simple as that. Bottom line is if the employees (including the grooming manager) are not well experienced and comfortable trimming nails they have absolutely no business offering the service. They are clearly poorly trained and could have hurt my dog. Another issue was the leash they use to secure your dog. They have a metal wire leash they threaded and put around her neck so anytime she pulled it would choke her. Basic common sense would be not to thread a wire and put it around your dogs neck. Come on! YET ANOTHER issue we had was the shampoo and conditioner. Literally they are in old restaurant condiment bottles!! No label, no ingredients, no allergy information... just no information whatsoever. $25 and we don't even know what we cleaned our dog with. Ridiculous. The last issue I will bring up is the vacuum they use. The head that is available for you to use shoots air super straight like a hose and is definitely not ideal for drying dogs. INFACT it's like a first edition metrovac which is the same vacuum I purchased at home for my car. Can't make this up this place was seriously embarrassing and I have never written a yelp review but the stuff I saw and experienced today was something I just had to share because it's hard for me to believe it really happened! read more

I just picked up my elderly Lab, Blossom, from her first grooming here. We love it. Blossom looks and smells beautiful and seems really happy with her "spa day". Thank you so much for great and friendly service at a wonderful price. Highly recommend. read more

This review is for the dog self wash only I've used this place 3 times to wash my dog in the past 6 months, and I won't use them again. In the winter the washroom is freezing and the hot water is sporadic and tepid. When I tried to get someone to fix the water they're not to be found. Their shampoo and rinse is watered down and the staff is not visible or helpful. I much prefer rub a dub in Seattle which is the same price, has a very friendly and helpful staff, more wash and grooming supplies and heat. read more

This business took over Scrub a Pup, close to Edmonds Dog Beach. I appreciate its close proximity to the beach, as my dog loves to swim in the ocean and run in the sand. I don't appreciate the price for a really basic experience. $20 gets you a tub and sprayer with a choice of one extremely watered down generic shampoo and conditioner, some treats to coax your pup into thinking a bath might be a good idea, and the ability to blow dry your dog with a reverse air vacuum afterwards. I've taken my dog to both Rub a Dub Dog in Seattle and Spot Wash at Marymoor. The first is comparable in price, the second is about half the price. Both of them offer a lot more bells and whistles and are all over a much better experience. This place offers everything from grooming to daycare to training, while the places I prefer to take my pup (listed above) specialize in self-serve washing, so maybe that's the issue. I wanted more shampoo and conditioner options or at least non-watered down options, doggie perfume, nail clippers, and some cotton balls for ear cleaning. I got none of that and as a result my dog wasn't fully clean in the way I expected. I might be back, due to convenience when in Edmonds, but I'll likely just drive back into the city to take her to Rub a Dub Dog after beach time. read more

This place is great! We have a challenging older dog who is grumpy and anxiety-prone. His original groomer finally said, "no more." We found Lisa at Blue Collar Doghouse through a neighborhood listserv recommendation and she did a great job. Our boy looks like a new man. There was no drama, they were quick, he was no worse for the wear and the cut was terrific. They book up quickly -- rightly so -- so I'm reserving our appointments well in advance. read more

Today was the third time that I have taken Bradley, my Pom-chi-poo mix, to Blue Collar for a bath and haircut. The cut has been perfect every time. The feature that I like best, besides the nice job on the cut, is that I don't have to leave him there for hours. He isn't juggled around with other appointments. It is a dedicated hour or hour and a half just for him. He isn't put in a crate while the groomer works on another dog. Add to this the fact that the facility is very clean and well-kept and the staff is very sensitive to "special needs". They understand "dog" there. All in all, I am glad that I found Blue Collar. Bradley always comes out relaxed and smelling like a rose. read more

My shiba did so well in the self serve bath area! Easy to use set up, clean area, and lots of "extras" like brushes & shampoos!! I didn't feel like a bad dog mom when my shiba screamed at me during his wash, and the girl came over and did his ears & nails while I scrubbed! It was quick & cheap! 10/10 GOOD DOG! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough!! I love BCD for many reasons, but my number one reason: my furry best friend Daryl absolutely loves it. I take him to daycare once a month and when I pick him up he always has a big smile and tongue hanging out of his mouth. At first I was worried because he can sometimes be shy around other dogs but it sets my mind at ease to know there is always a staff member monitoring the daycare. The staff is wonderful - very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. It is so nice to know that my dog is in good hands! I highly recommend BCD to anyone looking for a trustworthy doggy daycare! read more

I make the drive from Marysville to take my two Pekingese here for a bath and hair cut about 3-4 times a year. They truly go above and beyond. My older dog can sometimes get grumpy due to his achey joints and old age and they always do such an amazing job making him comfortable and happy to be there! The shop is always clean and they sell adorable collars and treats. They are totally worth the wait and get booked out for good reason! My babies always leave looking amazing and wagging their tails. read more

We have a german shepherd 9 month old dog. We took him 3 times and he was hurt every time. First split paws and we were told because he is a puppy playing on concrete splits his pads. The last time he couldn't walk for 3 days ( hobbled) because he was playing hard i'm guessing and didn't have any down time. Which at his age you must rest them. We use another boarding (Fabulous) in Bothel and he has never been hurt. We also use one in Spokane (we have a house there) and never has he been hurt. We were hoping to use one close to our house. We really wanted to go here but maybe for grooming not for puppy play. i'm assuming they get their 4 star rating for grooming the dogs not daycare. read more

Great service and always take care of the grooming of our dogs efficiently. Getting popular so book ahead!

I am very pleased with Blue Collar Doghouse! I previously took our 9 year old bichon/shih tzu, Gipper, to the pet store groomer, and he came home traumatized, and usually with wounds! Blue Collar Doghouse costs only a little more, and my dog is washed and groomed within only about 2 hours, PLUS he is happy and not freaked out, AND he's never gotten an injury there. I highly recommend BCD for grooming! They even were able to groom him when he was recovering from a sudden knee surgery and badly needed grooming, even though he needed a special eye on him. read more
