I recently had a disappointing experience with this business. I've brought my dog here around five…read moretimes before, worked with several groomers, and never had any issues until now. Unfortunately, this most recent experience was bad enough that I felt it warranted a review. Shortly after booking my dog's grooming appointment for Saturday (5/16), I received an email saying it had been rescheduled to the following Saturday (5/23) because of a scheduling error on their end. The email claimed they had tried calling me but couldn't get through, despite the fact that I've spoken with them by phone multiple times before and since without issue. The only accommodation offered for the inconvenience was a $5 discount on a future appointment that would expire before I'd likely return. Because the new date was inconvenient, I rescheduled online for Monday (5/18). After dropping my dog off Monday morning, I picked her up about an hour later. The groomer told me she had done great and that there were "no issues." However, once I got home, I noticed several of her nails had not been trimmed at all, while others were barely cut. Nail trimming was included in the grooming package I paid roughly $60 for after tax and fees, so I called to explain the issue. The owner promptly called me back and offered an appointment for the following day, which I couldn't make because of work. I asked about Friday or Saturday instead. There was no Friday availability, so the earliest option was once again Saturday (5/23) -- the same inconvenient date I had originally tried to avoid. The only available times also conflicted with plans I had already made, meaning I would have needed to rearrange my schedule just to have the service completed. At no point was any refund, discount, or other accommodation offered, despite the fact that I would now need to spend additional time and gas money returning for a service that should have been completed the first time. What bothered me most was the owner's attitude during our conversation. She spoke to me in a condescending and defensive manner, and I often felt like I was being lectured rather than listened to. She explained that they stop services if a dog becomes anxious, which I actually think is a great policy. However, if that was the case, it should have been communicated to me when I picked up my dog instead of being explicitly told there had been no issues. The owner even said she didn't know if there had been any issues because she hasn't spoken to the groomer yet. My dog is 7 years old and has had her nails trimmed many times before, both here and at other groomers, without any reported problems. Regardless, if a paid service cannot be fully completed for any reason, that should be clearly communicated to the customer at the time of service. The lack of communication and the owner's response felt very unprofessional. Once I mentioned that the combination of the scheduling problems, incomplete service, and poor communication would likely result in a negative review, the owner became even more defensive and insisted they were "doing everything they could" to make it right. But aside from offering to complete the service I had already paid for, nothing else was offered. The call ended with the owner insinuating there was no way to make me happy, and me simply saying thank you and hanging up. I ultimately decided not to bring my dog back because, after this interaction, I no longer felt comfortable trusting this business with her care. The owner also repeatedly emphasized that they are a small business. That's actually one of the reasons I chose to support them in the first place. But being a small business is not an excuse for poor service, poor communication, or poor customer service. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would not recommend this business.

On my visit with #1 Son (Matt O.) in Pittsburgh recently I also got to spend some quality time with…read moremy grandpuppies, Sunday and Franco. We stopped by Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming in East Liberty to pick up some treats. I left my phone in the car but trust me, this place was tail wagging cool! You have to love the name. It is a clever play on the famous chef Wolfgang Puck. The name is actually perfect because the "bakery" section looks just like a high-end pastry shop for humans. They have tables stacked with decorated cookies and treats that look good enough to eat yourself. The store is bright and cheerful. It doesn't have that typical wet dog smell you find at some groomers. Sunday and Franco absolutely love it here. They dragged us right through the front door. The staff was incredibly friendly and treated the pups like royalty. Verdict: Two paws up from the grandpuppies. It is a fun place to spoil your pets with some gourmet snacks or a spa day.

Also my daughter noticed he had been cut way too close/flesh exposed, between his nose and his mouth, that the groomer failed to mention.

Lady tearfully explained that no other groomer in Pgh metro area is accepting appts until Aug which I know because I called around too. Giving 2 stars because he bathed my dog for free but then called me immediately upon trying to cut her hair cuz she started to fight. Both mine and the other ladies dogs badly needed to be groomed because they are long haired and it gets uncomfortable for the dog. Do NOT bring your dog here if they are even the slightest bit feisty or uneasy around strangers because he will flat out refuse to do it even tho it's in the nature of his business. He also says he does not believe in muzzles or harnesses to keep the dog from fighting or biting.
