We came here the first time last month because our cavapoo desperately needed a cut before she went…read morein for her surgery. I was thrilled that Howlistic Grooming had availability and had such stellar reviews. With the large number of dogs in the area, it's a relief knowing we can book here less than a month in advance. They did a great job taking care of our pup, and she was in a happy mood when we picked her up! We've been back again now for a bath and she is in looks fantastic and smells great! Definitely recommend checking them out!

I rarely leave reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Howlistic Grooming…read more This was my dog's second visit, and before leaving him, they specifically asked if he would be receiving the same haircut as last time. I said yes and confidently left, expecting consistency with the previous groom. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. They cut my dog's hair extremely low and completely ignored the previous grooming guidelines. When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying she had "shaved his nails for free," which she said is normally a $10 add-on. I explained that it still didn't address the issue at hand and that it should have either been communicated or charged properly as an add-on if that was the case, because it didn't resolve my concern about the haircut. I was told there was "nothing they could do" and that "for future reference" I should bring a photo. I didn't think a photo was necessary for a repeat appointment when the staff made it seem like they already understood what was expected based on his last service. The manager called the next day, listened to everything that happened, and ultimately only reiterated that they do not offer refunds or discounts. No apology, no empathy, and no accountability for the poor experience. The only response I kept hearing was "for future reference." To make matters worse, my dog's ears were cut so short that he barely even looks like he has ears anymore. The haircut looks nothing like the previous groom, and it's honestly upsetting to look at. Since the appointment, he hasn't even seemed like his usual energetic self. I trusted this salon to care for him properly, and instead I left feeling dismissed and deeply disappointed. A total waste of $80 and a tip. PHOTOS BELOW: As you can see in the attached photos, his beautiful black coat was shaved down entirely too close, leaving his face and ears completely bare.

I am visiting family and needed to get my dog groomed. I always get nervous when I have to take him…read moreto a different groomer but they did a GREAT job!! I am so happy I found this place! I called and they were able to take my dog, Bean, right away. His haircut came out exactly how I wanted it to. The groomer even told me Bean was a sweet boy and was super relaxed during his haircut. :) It took me a little while to find it (its located behind the barber shop on the corner) If I walked around I would've found it. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be taking Bean back when we visit again.

He first gave my Golden Doodle a bath and clipped her face and explained to me, it was too soon for a full groom. He further stated that his shop was for small dogs only. Three yrs. later, I noticed a large dog on his website and called for an appt. All was going well for a good while and recently, he became shady and began to complain about the amount of time it took to groom her. Fast forward, I point blank asked if no longer wanted to groom her let me know and I would move on. He didn't respond, so I moved on.

My rescue dog, Henry, doesn't usually love going to the groomer, but he desperately needed a bath…read more Our neighbors had nothing but glowing reviews for Ames, so I booked Henry in. Getting an appointment was easy and I received a text saying that Ames had an opening that day if I wanted to move up my appointment, which was nice. I got a text from Ames letting me know when he was around the corner and I met him at the truck. Ames was super patient with Henry and gave him plenty of time to check out the truck. I felt very comfortable leaving Henry for his spa day. The turn around was quick. I got a picture of Henry to make sure I liked his look and then was able to pick him up. He was super soft, smelled great, and the best part was that his nails were trimmed! Talk about a Christmas miracle. Normally, Henry resists nail trims with everything he has. Even at the vet when they have the whole team involved, we usually leave without being able to trim his nails. Ames gave Henry a full mani-pedi without any issue or trauma. Ames is magic! Pricing is on the high side ($100), but you are really paying for the convenience of not having to leave home and one-on-one attention. I would happily book Henry in for another spa day with Ames.

I was really impressed with my experience at Sydnee's Pet Grooming. I have a smaller, nervous dog…read morethat doesn't really enjoy the groomer. He was a little nervous when I dropped him off, but he was warmed up and happy when I picked him up. I liked that the dogs could roam and were not confined to cages. The pricing was reasonable and I was able to get everything checked off his hygiene list from ears and nails to teeth and glands. The deshedding treatment has really made a difference in the amount of hair that comes off of him too! They did a great job with his nails and bath too. He smells so good and is silky smooth! I appreciate the care that Sydnee's showed my dog while he was at the spa. I felt good knowing that he was well taken care of while he was there.

We have a small 12 lb Yorkie who we take for regular grooming. After these last two experiences, we are fans! We will never take him anywhere else.

Not to mention, we've never gotten more compliments about our dog than after his grooming appointments from here!

I love how John takes time not only get to know your dog but also he wants to help you to understand your dog. He shares very insightful tips on how to train your dog. Dixie is a happy doggo after her grooming appointments, she seems to even enjoy them. John has been in the business for a while and it shows! Thank you for being patient with my girl, she can be a handful at times.

My dog weighs 11 lbs and John charged me $100 to groom my dog, which is honestly ridiculous. A…read morecouple of times he was slightly matted and he charged $20 extra which is insane. He never tried to brush my dog teeth or trim his nails because of excuses. He would always shave my dog down and had every excuse in the world as to why he had to which was ridiculous. Also, he doesn't even check vaccine record and he talks way too much. If you go, be prepared to be in their for 25 minutes. Thankfully, I found someone else who is way cheaper; they groom my dog the way I want, brush his teeth, and trim his nails for the price of $58. I will not be taking my dog back to John.

I know we won't be able to find someone like him anywhere else and that makes me and my husband really sad. A. My dog loved going to John, he never felt stressed after John's haircut. B. Have you seen how clean his shop is? My jaw dropped when I first went there. C. His cuts are so amazing, Toby was getting complements constantly. D. Shampoo that he uses is amazing, smells so good. E. My dog is anxious, but John never had a problem working with him somehow , he usually never sits still for anyone. F. He is a professional groomer and I don't think you will find someone like him at least in Chicago area. I can go on and on. I don't think he needs my review but I just wanted to share for someone lucky who lives in the area and is able to get appointment at Clean Dog.

Someone on the phone at Wrigglyville Pet Boutique recommended I call here and luckily they were able to take me last minute on a Sunday! Their normal cost is about $65, but I paid about 4x that for the degree of matting he had (it was really intense and I imagine it took a lot of careful cutting). He seemed really happy and when I got him (not too traumatized from the grooming), and the ladies gave me some good advice on how to care for the sores on his skin and swelling he had from the wrapped matted hair on his legs. It also looks very simple and clean on the inside :) Thanks so much!

We've been going to Sandy's since pre-rebrand…read more Our boy Mason, has never enjoyed baths or being groomed, and he gets very nervous just being in a tub. Everyone at Sandy's has made him feel so comfortable and have been very dedicated to his grooming appointments for the last few years. What we particularly like about this location is that they don't use crates when they're drying the dogs. Your dog has open play and Mason loves socializing with the other dogs while he's there. They always show him so much love when he arrives for his appointments and when we pick him up. I don't think he's been happier (or handsomer) at any other grooming place before.
