Bow Wow Billie's is amazing! I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner...I've been driving 20 minutes each way for dog grooming when this is only about 5 minutes from me. I found them through Nextdoor reviews and booked via text, which was super easy. They were friendly, responsive, and I was able to get an appointment quickly, not months out like a lot of places. I have three dogs, and they were able to schedule all of them together, which was a huge plus. They run things really efficiently. You're given a specific drop-off time, so the dogs aren't sitting in cages all day. Then they text you when your dogs are ready which is usually within a few hours and give about a one-hour window for pickup, which is very convenient. They are open so many days even on Sundays. My dogs looked amazing...so fluffy, clean, and well-groomed. You can tell they take pride in their work. I also noticed that other customers clearly know and trust them, which says a lot. The owner is incredibly kind, and the staff is just as friendly. This has been exactly what I was looking for in grooming, a place close to home that does just as good (if not better) of a job as the one I was driving far to. We'll definitely be back! read more

If a groomer doesn't do a good job, I don't leave a review at all. The fact you're reading this means that you are looking at the right groomer. Bow Wow made my mini schnauzer look so handsome, I cannot get over it. What impressed me the most was how nice his coat was and the trim around the face despite him still learning! read more

My dog is banned from PetSmart and Petco grooming because he is extremely anxious to the point of ready to injure himself. I started coming to Bow Wow Billie's about five years ago. Always always always recommend. Billie has been incredible with my dog who, again, is a very anxious old man now. Thank you for being so amazing Billie. Ive recommended this establishment to friends and family (2 of which are also now long time customers, 3+ years). read more

They were fantastic with my dog and I'm very happy with the service. I'll definitely be using them again

LOVE LOVE LOVE Bow Wow Billie's, best animal people ever! My Bonnie girl (very anxious pitty and looks scary but is a princess) has never been able to go to a groomer and needs to have tramadol at home (doctors orders) before every vet visit and they muzzle her in the car to take her back! Mel and Billie showed up, said hello to her, got her leashed up and she sat right down for them! She knew she was in great hands. Bandit does not like his paws touched but watching Bonnie he relaxed and both were done in less than 5 min!!! Thank you both I'll be having y'all do their trims on a monthly and hopefully start taking them to the shop. (My anxiety gets the best of me too ) read more

I have been using Billie longer than Bow Wow Billie's has been around. I love her and trust her completely with my pup. She has cared for labs, border collies, a tiny poodle, and a cairn terrier. All were treated with the love and respect they deserve. Her team also trimmed my tiny Chihuahua's nails when no one else could manage her fear of nail trims. read more

Bow Wow Billie is the best hometown groomer. I have a Pomeranian that she keeps beautifully groomed. My dogs love to go there for bath. But Billie is the sweetest. I have a little tiny puppy and I called her because it has crazy long toe nails. She told me that she is too little to come in the shop but she had me bring the puppy by and she came out to the car to snip the nails for me outside. I have rcvd such better quality and price of services there vs retail chains. read more

Such an incredible place!! They are easy to communicate with, will fit you in for an appointment that works with your schedule and are so amazing with your dogs!

I have been a customer of Billie's shop for 7-8 years, and there is no where else I recommend for pups. Let me start with my experience and rave about their services. And I'll conclude with dispelling some of the possible falsehoods listed in some of the reviews that aren't very positive because I'll admit that im disappointed to see so many "1 star" reviews, mostly from people who came 1 time. So--first--my experience over the last 7-8 years let's the same pups (now 8 and 9 years old, both started going at 1 and 2 years old when I adopted them)--Billie herself is always very kind and welcoming. Though there is a lot of background noise (exactly what you should expect from an open and visible grooming salon), the staff always greeted us kindly and took my puppies to their respective kennels. What I liked immediately about this grooming slain is that I could clearly see my dogs at all times; they are only taken to the back when they need baths snd are drying, which is not the case in almost every other grooming salon (private or commercial like PetSmart). This was always incredibly helpful to me and my dog who has severe anxiety thanks to a PetSmart experience; at least with Billie, I can clearly see what is happening at all times should I wish to stay there through the entire process. My pups were not the best behaved at first, which for anyone with dogs knows that the character bad temperament of their dogs plays a huge role in how they are received anywhere. My pups used to bite the hands of the groomer, and the only way we worked through that was through communication with the groomers. training at home to help decrease their sensitivity, and going back consistently to get them groomed. My pups were always well taken care of at this location, and they always came out looking adorable. Billie and her groomers have always been accommodating (within reason) to me--for example, if I needed help walking the pups out after my baby was born, she always helped me with that. Like with any service, it's important that we as clients show up on time for drop off and pick up and understand what type of service we are asking for --obviously, it's loud with barking dogs, but I always found it so welcoming and sweet to see so many sweet puppy faces. Anytime I walked in to drop off my pups or pick them up, I never once saw any other dog being "man handled"--if anything, Billie and her staff are the most patient groomers I've seen in the metroplex (I can say this because I tried several before I found her and we moved 6 months ago and are over an hour drive away and I've had to find other groomers...and I'm considering making the drive back to her because I haven't found a place as good as hers). Some folks complained about the prices or their expectations not being met, and I can say with a clear conscience that I've been around long enough to this salon to see pet parents come in with very well maintained dogs (dogs who are clearly bathed and brushed and cared for at home on a regular basis) and those that come in with dogs who have so much matting that it hurts me to look at the dogs. So, I caution people who read the bad reviews to consider the possibility that some clients brought in a dog maybe once and they clearly were unable to take care of their dog at home and/or had experienced the same time of "issues" elsewhere not because of the services rendered rather by their inability to properly care for their dogs. Billie and her groomers have always and will always side with what is best for the dog (not necessarily the human), and I 100% respect that. Needless to say, we miss Billie and her grooming salon so much. I can't recommend any other groomer in the Arljngton/ GP/Mansfield and surrounding area more than I do her. read more

This review is for Brandy Griffins grooming skills on my personal dog . I also have her groom the dogs from the adoption program I handle . She always does a fantastic job , takes her time and most of the dogs from the shelter are a hot mess when we pick them up . My dog is a rescue that we nursed back to health , she is a wiggly dog and not an easy groom . She doesn't go in matted but she does hate to be brushed Brandy gets that huge tail brushed out each and every time . She also takes care of my old grand dog Mr Miyagi , he is a pain and snaps sometimes . A Japanese Chin has no face for a muzzle and she works through it with him Michelina is a sweet dog but not a pleasure to groom for sure ! Yet Brandy is always happy to help get her fixed up :) Thank You Brandy ! read more

Do not bring your fur babies here! They are aggressive and inconsiderate with your babies! Their website mentions how they care and what not and after my experience today, never again. The website mentions baths are first come first serve. We came around noon and they didn't even bother with us. They mention free nail trimmings on Tuesday, so we were like "okay sure let's do that and a bath." And my dogs are always nice, never EVER in their life or mine have they even attempted to bite anyone. But the lady trimming my dogs nails was so aggressive and rough that she hurt my babies and to a point where my dogs almost tried to bite her. Mind you, my dogs loooooves getting groomed. They literally love baths and manicures and hair trims. It was my first and last time here. I'll never ever even recommend this place. People if you love your pets this is NOT the place for them. I've posted photos of my fur babies and screen shots from their websites. Never have I brought my babies to such a place that hurt them and made them yelp like this place did. Never ever again. read more

My dogs have been groomed on a monthly basis for 10 years now, I just moved from another city and tried this place for my first time. To start- The front desk lady was not kind or welcoming to myself or my dogs. She never even acknowledged them and drug them to the back with the leashes. Second- When getting my dog (shiba Inu) back, he walked out with hair still piled all over him (which flew off with a few brushes of my hand).. it looked like there wasn't even an attempt of brushing or blow drying. She claimed "he did not like the blow dryer or brushing" but the hair could've been easily brushed off with a friendly pet. I've never had an issue at any place for 10 years of monthly grooming so i have a hard time believing "he didn't like it too much". She then proceeds to tell me she charged me for it anyways, despite one sentence prior saying she "couldn't really do it because he didn't like it". Then my shih tzu came out next. It took over 5 hours for him to be done and he was shaved bald afterwards, they cut his ears all the way and clearly had ZERO experience or awareness of what a shih tzu looked like and to top it off the nails were still so long. I do not recommend this place. I walked away VERY UPSET. Despite my frustration the front desk lady had nothing to say. Customer service is not that hard, people make mistakes. Own it. Take your business else where. read more

I absolutely will not ever bring my dog here again. This was her second time being groomed and I know her visit this time was absolutely horrible. She is a straight coat golden doodle with matted hair in some spots. Her first visit went ok. But this time they completely hurt my girl. The pictures can say enough. I Do Not recommend you bring your fur babies to this place. This is unacceptable! The cut came out horrible as well, but that was the least of my worries . Never again will I give my money and business to this place . read more

Heard really good things about this place and how they handle big dogs, but was really disappointed with how our dog was treated. We have a very sweet 60 lb german shepherd mix and came in for a nail trim. Our dog is very anxious about nail trimmings and we thought this place would handle her well. Once we got there they muzzled her without even petting her or attempting to calm her down, then just almost put her in a chokehold (which isn't smart with a scared large dog) on the ground by the door in able to hold her still. At this point my dog is thrashing around and bumps into the face of the person holding her. Visibly angry and without even attempting the trim they say they are unable to do anything and walked away. Would have been nice if they were kind to her (and us) or even pet her, but a really bad way of handling a very anxious large dog and would not recommend this place if your dog hates nail trims. *Updated to include response from owner* We never said our dog snapped in the past. She has never snapped, and is simply just anxious. read more

We didn't have a great experience! Nothing was communicated to us, and we felt blindsided when our 45 pound Sheepadoodle came out looking shaved and then the $150 bill later! It wasn't what I had asked for and I never was given the expectations! There were extra expenses not communicated beforehand. It was just not a great place to go too with a busy family when I just can't pick up and get my dog whenever! I have children and it's not an after work pick up! They close at 4. Needless to say we won't be going back! read more

Sometimes, good things come to an end. I and my family used to love this place. I initially chose Bow Wow Billies because they are LGBT friendly, and the staff was always so inviting and patient and gave that home type feeling. Even when my fur baby passed away , 2 years ago, they were very warm. UPDATE. The last couple of times I have been here , the employees have rolled their eyes at me and my fur baby. They complained because my new fur baby, who is still a puppy, was biting and displayed behavior as any uncomfortable puppy would, which is new to grooming. Billie then told me "well it starts at home." I felt this comment was extremely rude and I brought it to Billies attention. Billie immediately deflected from what I asked and told me that my dog was "just bad" and would be that way for years. During this time my puppy started barking while she was in the kennel and then the staff rolled there eyes and made rude gestures and sounds towards me and my fur baby. Not to mention her haircut wasn't what I asked of and her nails weren't cut/trimmed properly. I reached out again(not sure why I didn't learn the first time) to schedule an appointment and try again, by getting my puppy used to grooming. Billie replied to my appointment text with a text saying she was "hurt" by me expressing my concerns before and our previous "encounter". I would not use this business again. These "5 star/great" reviews are possibly fabricated or from people that "fit the vision". In short. Rude customer service. Even from the owner. No room to express concerns. The dogs get "report cards" like they're at school. (Which was the reason I thought it would be okay to discuss) what is the point of a report card if there cannot be feedback. After also being accused of calling them "liars". Overall Very unprofessional and unpleasant. I'm very disappointed that I'm even having to write this review. I will take my services elsewhere or just learn to groom my 1 year old puppy - who will become used to it with time and PATIENCE. read more

My Cavapoo was so man handled and traumatized by the groomer that he will not let any one try to groom him . He came back home after sitting in a cage for 3 hours before they even started his grooming . When i got him home his under belly was shaved so close to his skin it was raw and red irritated he was whimpering in the car on the drive home. The woman who groomed him was not nice at all she seemed very mean just observing her when i brought him in. I blame myself for this to have happened to my dog . All the red flags were there . Shame on me !!! read more

My dog Mojo is a rescue and a recently adopted member of our family. Bow Wow Billie's was recommended thru Nextdoor, Yelp, FB-- this is a wonderful business and staff. Scared, my dog refused to inside. Billie came outside, gave her love, pets, and treats. Before I knew it she had trimmed Mojo's nails. Mission accomplished. This was my first time going here and I will not go anywhere else. Billie loves her fur baby clients and it shows!! read more

My dog, Onyx, is always happy to go to Bow Wow Billie's to get his bath and get his winter coat brushed out. He has anxiety and gets nervous when he has to get his paws, ears and tail touched; this makes it hard for me to bathe him or brush him at home. They always do a wonderful job! Unfortunately, due to his anxiety, they aren't always successful at getting his ears (only happened twice and it's not their fault at all). However, they get the job done and treat him wonderfully! To me, that's more important is knowing that I'm leaving him in good hands and getting a good service at the same time. read more

Finally- a place where I can take my fur babies where they will be treated like family- suck it, Petsmart!!! After a rage induced rant after an employee at petsmart being downright rude and unprofessional while she didn't realize I could hear, I've been looking for a new groomer. My aunt was a vet and I spent most of my childhood in her office, so I know that a dog is a dog- you shouldn't judge one based on their breed. Billie gets it too. You can rest assured your baby will be treated like family while they are getting primped and pampered. The store front is small, I've been to that shopping center multiple times and never noticed it, even though it's right in the center. Inside is pretty simple- a fairly large waiting area with one long counter and a doggie gate. Its all open and you can see a row of cages along the right and the grooming stations on the left. They were hacking mounds of hair off of a fuzzy shitzu when I brought in Kiba. I was greeting happily by Billie, who is pretty slender, and I was worried my mini horse of a dog would drag her around. I was wrong, Billie knows how to handle dogs. I had no hesitation leaving him to get all fresh and clean. Whatever products she uses are fantastic, Kiba has never shined and smelled so good. She must have given him an industrial brushing too, I haven't had to sweep mounds of hair up since I brought him home. Not to mention her prices are, for the lack of a better word, cheap! I spent half of what Petsmart was charging and got a much higher quality service. Take your dirty dog here! read more

I am SOOOO glad i finally checked this place out! Outside of taking great care of my babies they were so friendly and welcoming. They made me feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them. I left them feeling like they were in good hands. When i picked them up; they looked and smelled great. Happy, clean puppies! Great location, great customer service, great prices! I would definitely recommend them 10x over! read more

Bow Wow Billie's - Best bath ever!!!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I didn't have an appt and I called to make sure they had an opening that day. She said as long as I got him in before noon, he would be fine (this was on a Saturday). So I took my 3 year old red/white husky here because he had a nail come off his back right paw. I told Billie about it and she said it wasn't an issue, they would have him fixed up. I warned that he doesn't like his feet touched or nails clipped and that he may nibble and to be careful. She had no issues with him and when I picked him up (around 3:30 pm) he was so handsome and fluffy! Huskies required a de-shed so I got that, a bath and a nail trim (as well as them fixing the nail that broke off and was bleeding everywhere the night before) for about $60. Definitely taking my fur baby here again! read more

The team here is absolutely AMAZING! We recently moved to the area and had some trouble finding a groomer who was willing to work with our puppy since he feels anxious. The wonderful folks here took the time to understand his needs and build rapport. They took the time to listen to us and were patient in working with our puppy during the appointment. They're didn't turn us away or refuse to provide the service. This was a collaborative effort and truly the best experience we've had with grooming for our puppy. We are so grateful for them and will be going back regularly!! read more

We were very disappointed today. Rude customer service. I have two rescue dogs and they don't deserve the aggression. BOW WoW BILLIES have changed after being with them since they open. Never have we experience such bad customer service. My dog Milo never howled when he goes anywhere but he did today. While I believe their business has increased like most in the metroplex their patience and tolerance with the animals and customers appears to have decreased. Loyal customers since 2013. I'm out. I would love to elaborate. read more

Please Read entire thing! Took my dog to get groomed 09/03/2022. Staff called and said was unable to trim nails due to my dog being scared and "aggressive". I found it odd because Sadie is not aggressive. Sadie was not excited to see me. Custom infront of me held her dog while gentlemen cut their nails. After I paid I asked if I were to assist with the nail trim would it be able to be done since I was charged for a FULL service. He said it would not be a problem. First front paw was trimmed second front paw I assisted with the nail trim. Once we get to the back leg I noticed her nail bleeding. I asked the employee why was she bleeding he said he didn't know. He said he can put some medicine to stop the bleeding. He applied the mustard colored powder on her injured nail. I sated no wonder she didn't let you near her nails you guys hurt her. He apologized said he would call the person who groomed them since she had just gone home for the day and will have manager/owner call me for an update. I never got a call I assumed they were busy. I called on the following Tuesday and was told by staff I would get a call because the owner was not there at the moment. I am a busy nurse I work 8am-5pm. I finally had time to follow up today about the situation. I spoke with the owner she hung up on me. I kept calling back and would only get voicemail. I had to call from a different phone number in order to get owner back on the phone. Owner said I am lying and said she was unaware of the incident and is refusing to take accountability and issue a refund even though I have picture evidence and photos with time stamps. Please don't go here. I don't appreciate being treated like this. There was no professionalism especially from the owner. The owner still texted me after she stated over the phone there would be no refund. Owner interrupted me at every word. I couldn't even get a word in. She hung up on me once again in the middle of me speaking. She then sent a text after she hung up on me the second time. read more

First time visit and I'm really bummed out. I came in and wasn't greeted by any of the 4 employees working. I smiled at two of the ladies and neither of them returned the gesture. No one looked happy to be there. I had previously texted and asked about a bath and a trim and was told I could do a walk-in. When I got there, they said they were booked, but I got baths anyway. I brought my dogs' vet paperwork, as I was also told they would need proof of rabies vaccinations. No one asked to see it. I should have left at that point. I felt bad so I just went along. The person who helped me was pretty deadpan most of the conversation, but was loving toward my dogs when I handed them over, so I felt reassured. I got text notifications when my 2 dogs were done, which was 30 minutes after I got a confirmation text for the appointment....which was after I had already dropped them off. I was also disappointed to pick them up because the charge was $25 each. I was quoted $20 for a bath, but was so flustered because there was so much commotion and noise going on - a woman in the lobby had 2 loose dogs walking around, one of them had pooped. The 3rd dog was having his nails clipped in the lobby and the poor girl who was doing it was struggling because of the commotion as well. There were several small dogs in cages, just barking incessantly. None of the other workers acknowledged me and one was just on her phone. She actually looked up after I had been standing there for some time, still saying nothing. Then, a few moments later asked if I was there to pick up. I said, "yes," and she still sat there!! Why bother asking? Finally, the girl who was clipping dogs nails got up and helped me. My ears and brain were overwhelmed and I wanted get out of there. My dogs started barking once they saw me so I asked if she could just let them out. The girl totally ignored my question and I felt frustrated and embarrassed because my one dog wouldn't stop. Normally, they are in a back area, or at my old groomer, they come up to the front for me to look at, then I pay. I didn't get a chance to look at them, check their nails, or get asked if everything looked OK. I've never just had my dogs get baths only, usually they get a full groom, so they didn't look as nice as normal, but I still feel jipped as I was told they could have a groom and on top of that, the price was higher than normal. Don't think I'll be back. Can anyone recommend a friendly groomer? Maybe one which has cage free services? Thanks! read more

Went to take my dog for a nail trimming and bath. It was quick and received a text that my dog was ready for pickup. They are professional and kind. Also received bandanas as well. Would highly recommend and looking forward to coming back! read more

Didn't need grooming, just a bath and nail trim. Got pretty good reviews, when we dropped him off the lady was pleasant and relaxed. Picked him up, and asked the cashier how he was she said great, just released him into the customer area so we could put his collar and leash on. On the way home I notice that his nails were not done. When I call to ask what services he received I am told that they didn't do his nails, because his tried to bite. Put on hold, Billie comes on to tell me that they could not do his nails, and were too busy when I picked him up to tell us. Then she tells me that the cashier just forgot to tell us. And what did I expect her to do. Well, I expect you to tell me that one of the services I am paying for is not done before I pay. If there is a problem let me know, I am not unreasonable. And a little less attitude, and a little more customer service from the owner. read more

This grooming place deserves no stars if it was possible. These people shaved my little fur baby bald without so much as an apology. When I dropped him off for his usual haircut ($30.00) I asked them to trim his nails as well ($10.00) the guy said he has a little Matt on his hind legs but how do you want him cut. I asked them to cut him his usual (he usually has a half to a whole inch of hair)but I asked them to cut his face shorter because it tends to grow faster. They texted me to pick him up & I didn't even recognize my support animal. He was literally bald & they demanded $60.00 or they would take my baby to the impound. I called the police & they said it was nothing they could do. DO NOT TAKE YOUR FUR BABIES TO THIS PLACE THEY ARE HEARTLESS RUDE UNINFORMATIVE UNFAIR GROOMERS WHO TRY TO SQUEEZE EVERY EXTRA CENT OUT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS! This was my 4th & FINAL VISIT BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY ALWAYS FIND A REASON TO CHARGE MORE THAN WHAT IS QUOTED AT THE TIME I DROP HIM OFF read more
