Rachel has groomed my English bulldog 3 times now (he's only 8 months old) and she is wonderful! My dog loves seeing her and she is done so quickly and he comes out fresh, clean, nails cut and smelling great! Oh yes even a new bandana around his neck haha Even gave me recommendations on bulldog wrinkle cream! Thanks Rachel!

We were fortunate enough to find The Ruff Life Mobile Grooming 6 years ago, in 2019. The owner, Chris Elias, has been wonderful to us over the years. He is extremely organized, professional, courteous and simply just a terrific person. We have 4 large, female and extremely furry dogs...not an easy task! However, over the years, Chris has paired our dogs with such lovely groomers. He really took the time to think about their personalities/needs and matched them to a well-suited groomer. We have never, ever had a complaint. Our current groomer, Bailey, is fabulous. She is patient, sweet, outgoing, gentle, loving and extraordinarily talented at what she does. Our 4 girls come back looking fluffy, beautifully groomed and smelling great. They adore Bailey, which as dog-parents, is beyond reassuring. Before she begins, Bailey consults quickly with us as to what is needed for that visit. Each of our dogs has their own VERY distinct personality and Bailey caters to that without blinking an eye. One of our dogs in particular, is afraid of the entire world, but Bailey says once she gets into the truck, she is such a good girl. We have such peace of mind knowing they are in Bailey's capable, caring and gentle hands. We have recommended The Ruff Life Mobile Grooming to many people over the years and will continue doing so in the future. Honestly, we canNOT even imagine trusting anyone else with our girlies.

Loves her feathers!

Angel is an amazing groomer!! I have two golden doodles and they adore Angel! On top of all their needs and lets me know of any concerns.So much love for animals and so talented.I love the feathers that are put in Mercedes after being groomed.She feels like a princess!

My fiancé happened to pass this place while driving on merrick road and told me to check it out…read morebecause he thought it was new. I went on yelp and only saw 1 review so I assumed it was new too! I called and was able to get an appointment for my 6 lb Maltipoo that same day!!! I dropped her off and the receptionist was very friendly. I found out they have been open for two years already but there were some trees blocking there signage so it was hard to see the store front. I also spoke with a groomer and I believe the owner too. It was nice to actually speak to the person who will be taking care of your dog! My dog does not like to be brushed so she gets horrible knots so I spoke to the groomer about having to shave her but I asked them to leave as much hair as possible since it's so cold out. They said they would try and they told me they would call me 15 minutes before she was ready to be picked up. I ran some errands, went home and by that time (about 2 hours later) my phone was ringing to her to be picked up. I went to pick her up and my puppy looked great! She was shaved but had some fur still left on her and she smelt great. They cleaned her ears and cut her nails as well. It was $64 but when I checked in on yelp and got $10 off! I will be taking my dog back here and recommending it to my family and friends because it seems like they really care about the animals they are grooming!

Extremely Unprofessional & Judgmental Experience…read more I have been bringing my dogs to my amazing groomers for over 12-15 years and have always had a wonderful experience. My Papillon, is 17 years old, and my Pomeranian, is 15. They are both senior dogs who have always been well cared for and loved wherever they go. Because my regular groomer was unavailable, I decided to try Cold Noses Dog Grooming for a last-minute appointment. I spoke with Kim, who gave me a 9:00 a.m. slot. I walked my dogs over since it's close to my home, expecting a simple, friendly experience. Unfortunately, what I got was anything but. From the moment I arrived, Kim's tone and demeanor were rude, judgmental, and invasive. She questioned me about where I normally take my dogs, why I wasn't going there anymore, and even asked if my regular groomer had refused to groom them because they're "too old." When I explained that my regular place was simply booked, she continued pressing with unnecessary and uncomfortable questions -- including demanding to know the name of my groomer. When I said I didn't feel comfortable sharing that information, she became defensive and said she "had the right to ask questions." I told her she could, but I also had the right not to answer. Instead of focusing on grooming my dogs, she made me feel accused and unwelcome. At that point, I decided to take my dogs and leave. I took a day off work for this appointment and left feeling angry, disappointed, and disrespected. There was no professionalism, no compassion, and absolutely no bedside manner. I have never been treated so poorly or made to feel like my senior dogs were a "problem." To anyone with dogs-- avoid this place at all costs. The way I was spoken to and treated felt like age discrimination -- for both dogs and owner alike. I wouldn't trust this groomer with any animal, especially one that needs gentle, understanding care. Cold Noses Dog Grooming showed me nothing but coldness and judgment. One star only because zero isn't an option.

Kim did such a great job! This was the first time trying a new haircut and it was perfect! Great…read morefor the hot summer!

There…read morewere frequent issues (callous treatment, injuries etc.) with other groomers I patronized - and believe me I've tried many over the years. They usually start out good but end up bad. Now that Sam has been to Groomsville a few times I can say they really deserve their great Yelp reviews! The place is spacious and busy, a good sign right away. The owner Pete is a real dog lover and a stand up guy. It was easy to schedule an appointment, plenty of parking out front, and they even confirmed the night before. I love that dogs can socialize with others rather than being locked up in cages like sad prisoners. Groomsville separates the little guys from the big ones for safety. I was so nervous about trying a new place, but when I picked Sam up he looked beautiful and perky. And I was pleasantly surprised that pricing was reasonable and they take credit cards. My dog looks great and I'm one happy dog mommy!

So argumentative even though I was going overboard to be nice and respectful. It's a wonder he's still in business with his horrible attitude. He needs a lesson on how to talk to customers that are not satisfied with the butchering of their dogs hair. Rude so rude and nasty if things don't go his way. Like a spoiled child. Horrible groomer, and the staff is no better. I would give zero stars if I could. There's too many good groomers out there to put up with this guys antics.
