Clearly they wanted to get out early so that they could go out on a Saturday night. Asked to speak with the manager, Esteban, and he asked me if everting was right in my head. Classy.

He was getting a little shaggy so I wanted to get him groomed and they SHAVED him. We never discussed it and I certainly wouldn't have given permission to shave him had I been asked.

Dogaholics is truly one of a kind!…read more The staff cares and loves the pups like their own. My dog is always so excited to go to daycare and is absolutely in love with the entire staff. They post instagram updates of the dogs at daycare having fun which is always great to see too. You can even message them and ask for an update on your dog. One of my favorite aspects of dogaholics is that there is an outdoor space. In the winter, they can frolic around in the snow, and in the summer, they bring out mini pools and hoses to keep the dogs cool. It makes me happy knowing that my dog gets to play outside and socialize with other dogs. When I use to have to work late, the staff was always extremely accommodating with late pickups. I truly cannot recommend this place more. Finding a facility you can trust to care for your dog and love them like your own is special. This is that place for us thanks to the Dogaholics team! Special shoutout to Hannah for taking my last minute calls to bring my dog in, and for always giving him extra cuddles! See cute pics for confirmation of how great they are :)

Recently moved to Chicago over a year ago. Our pup is definitely a California boy (like his dad)…read more So we send him to California during the coldest months. That's where he usually gets his vet care and grooming. A routine formed over years. I have had frustrations with navigating the new system here in Chicago- and rarely seek "corporate" for his care. But I will say that we were finally able to get him groomed after months of (vaccine update maneuvering) we've merged updated info now . The care and concern that Angel and Wyatt took to ensure our pups well being was highly appreciated. I usually prefer local grooming businesses to corporate - and while I maintain that for all other needs - I will definitely trust Angel and Wyatt with our dog again. Additionally the Vetco care on the day we brought him in for an updated shot was great too. Thank you. The overall staff at this location seems great, knowledgeable, professional . A tribute that THEY make the business and corporate should ensure they get the respect, pay, benefits and appreciation they warrant. Mambe is appreciative too.

When I take Maisie out for walks, she likes to head over to Petco. Maisie loves going to Petco…read more The staff knows her. They stop for a couple of minutes to interact with her. They give her cookies, say hello to her. Of course, Maisie gets excited and loves the attention she gets from them. I find the Petco staff being very knowledgeable and helpful with products. They listen and provide alternatives. In the back, Petco houses a grooming area for pets. However, some of the prices can be a bit steep for average consumer. The prices for snacks, food, and harnesses look expensive. Petco offers training classes for dogs to learn basic commands. Maisie attended classes there. She loves getting the treats. The energy feels comfortable and relaxed there.

On a walk a few days later, we decided to stop in. The store front is very clean and well organized. Compared to other boutique pet shops, the prices are good! We left with a bulley stick for my dog, plus he got lots of treats + loved on by a bunch of the staff there. You can tell the love and care for animals is extremely genuine.

I had a grooming appointment for my dog scheduled three weeks in advance for Saturday at 10 AM with…read moreNora. At 9:15 AM on the day of the appointment, they called to inform me that Nora had called out, so my appointment had to be rescheduled. While I understood these things happen, they rescheduled me for the next day at 2:30 PM without informing me it would be with a different groomer. When I checked my dog in with the new groomer, Austin, everything seemed fine initially. However, I received a call ONE HOUR LATER saying my dog was "ready for pickup." The person on the phone started rambling about how my dog's tongue was cut and bleeding, repeatedly referring to my dog as a "he," which made me question if they had the right client. I asked if my dog was okay, and he assured me she was fine but said it was policy to discontinue services. This wasn't true because a previous groomer had nicked her ear, yet her haircut was still completed. I asked if the haircut was half-finished, and he confirmed it was. When I asked what I should do, he suggested rebooking for another time. Upon arrival, I saw my dog's nose had been shaved down to the skin. When I asked Austin why, he said he didn't finish the face and then walked away. Since then, my dog has been rubbing her face a lot due to the irritation from being shaved bald. The person at the front desk suggested booking for the following week, but I explained we were leaving for vacation, which is why I had booked the original appointment. They then rebooked for Monday. My fiancé had to take the morning off from work to get her finished, which only took 30 minutes because she was nearly done when Austin discontinued the service, apparently because he isn't used to dogs that lick. When my fiancé asked if we would be charged full price, given the rescheduling, the time off work, and the inconvenience of picking her up in the pouring rain one hour after dropping her off, and the groomer cutting her tongue, the groomer said yes and charged him the full $85. Antoinette did a great job finishing up her haircut, but she couldn't fix her nose that was shaved so close by Austin.
