    Moose found a good rest stop before heading in to get groomed
    Rebecca P.

    I take my standard Australian Shepherd, Moose, here and they do an AMAZING job! He doesn't necessarily love being groomed but Dagmara makes sure he's comfortable and he definitely does love all the attention he gets. We live on a lake and his long hair can get pretty matted once he's in the lake everyday. She is able to get his matts out and he looks so handsome every time I pick him up! Will continue to go there for all of Mooses grooming needs!

    I purchased my first bag of Primal Pet Raw patties along with some recreational raw bones and scheduled an appointment for my dog. Not only were they so informative and welcoming during my first visit, my puppy fell in love when we returned on Saturday for his Grooming. I was so amazed and happy with our groomer that I have totally forgotten her name (blond hair pulled back in ponytail with shaved sides). She recommended a comb for me to use on my dog!! THANK YOU!! He loves it. He does not pull away and I do not fill like I am hurting him. Thank you guys for being so awesome!!!

    I've heard a lot of hubbub about Kriser's through the years, but this was my first time getting to experience it for myself and I'd say it lives up to the hype... and that's coming from a person who doesn't even have a dog (sadly). While most of the store is dedicated to pup stuffs, they do have an admirable amount of kitten items to be smitten with. I was incredibly impressed with their specialty and high-quality selection of foods for both feline and canine companions. In fact, I don't know that I've seen better elsewhere. You do pay a pretty penny for the high-quality, but that's just how it goes for food and I didn't find any of the prices on meals for your furry mate to be egregious. I found the toys and pet entertainment items a bit pricier than my "local" favorite, The Dog Patch in Naperville, but this is a different kind of store and again, the focus is more on food. I think if you've got a picky pup who's on a special diet, this place is worth the trek and the shop girl was plenty friendly, inviting eye contact, not pushy or high-and-mighty, but I think if you're looking for toys or accessories or cat items other than food, it might not be as fruitful a trip compared to some other options. If you're in the area, it's right next to the new Whole Foods Market, parking is super easy and you'd really be remiss not giving it a good look-see for Spot, Fido, Rover and all their furry friends.

    Dagmara is the absolute BEST. We only trust her with our baby. It's truly the best to see your pet trust someone so much. Pet smart actually asked us to leave because our dog scared the others. Our dog has never had a problem with Dagmara!

    Beware of their dog bones. My precious Cane Corso almost died two weeks ago from chewing on one of their large dog bones. Their staff needs to be more informative of their products and warn their customers. Yes, I did monitor and take it away after a short time. On top of it, when I told their staff they showed no remorse or even say I am sorry about Luca. I will never go back there again. One employee even bad mouthed my Vet, Skycrest and told me to go to this guy in McHenry because he does not believe in vaccines etc. Thank God for Skycrest, VSP and Fox Lake Animal hospital which did an emergency surgery on Luca that evening. The bone was inches away from perforating his intestine. Today, I went back into Kriser's to get my points to buy my dog food somewhere else. They didn't even mention Lucas name after I have been their customer for two years and ask how was he doing. To them, it's about the money. They do not have much knowledge of their products.

    All these positive reviews about Dagmara is so true. She is literally dog whisperer. My parents dog, Choco gets very anxious and won't let his nails cut by groomer. But not with Dagmara, he is so calm with her and she is only person that can cut his nails! I take my pup here too and he literally enjoys getting groomed my her. She is so professional and her grooming styles are amazing. She has gave me several recommendation on how to take care of his hairs and with her recommendation, his hairs are silky and so smooth all the time. This place really deserve 5 stars. Every staff here is very friendly and willing to help you.

    Shopping at Kriser's is always a wonderful experience...the best products, knowledgeable sales people and a lovely story. But it's DAGA, the Groomer, who sets this location into the stratosphere. She is a wonderful groomer, she's patient, professional, kind, loving! Most importantly for those of us with frightened dogs, she makes the dogs feel special, comfortable and beautiful during what can be a very stressful experience. I have two tiny rescue dogs with lots of physical issues. DAGA handles them gently, and patiently...so they are no longer afraid of the experience. She is flexible, too, and comes up with very creative ways to groom them and make them feel safe. She's fast, too! I wouldn't go to any other groomer or any other location because of DAGA. What would we do without you?! Please dont ever leave! I highly recommend DAGA...she's outstanding!

    Great pricing and customer service! One improvement I could suggest would be more choices of canned cat food for our picky eaters!

    I have since had him washed by Dagmara three times and I feel totally comfortable leaving my hooligan dog with her.

    The staff is always friendly and attentive. Olive loves people and seems comfortable getting her…read morenails trimmed.

    Go somewhere else…read more Starting with hundreds of dollars spent at the vet post-grooming. I picked up my dog and immediately noticed a fresh cut on the tip of his left ear. I also noticed that he was flopping his ears nonstop. I called the groomer when I got home and she said all of this was common due to the "new feeling" post ear shave. Days go by, and my dog just seemed so uncomfortable, so I took him to the vet and it turns out he needed special treatment on the cut likely caused by a razor, and he had an ear infection. The vet stated there was what looked like more razor blade cuts and dried blood even deeper in the inner ear, and excessive water in the inner ear. The vet ended up advising against a groomer that is shaving so deep in the inner canal in general. Ended up being a $200 vet bill with medications. Next frustration was the haircut overall. I clearly stated to not shave my dog. The female groomer that worked on him showed me a picture of a doodle haircut option and I told her that was perfect. She called me shortly after I dropped him off and said she would have to shave his ears and feet due to matting, but that she could trim/cut the rest of his fur because there was no other matting, and that everything else passed some sort of "comb inspection". I said that was fine and I understood. I picked him up when he was done and he was completely shaved everywhere. It was not what I asked for, nor what I was told during the phone call while she was actively working on him. Moreover, it looked patchy and sloppy. When I asked what happened and why she shaved him, she did not have an answer, and seemed to hot potato the question to another worker who was there, and ultimately I got no answers. I walked out paying over $100 for this. (Of note, when I picked up my dog, I was told my dog was calm and did not flinch at anything, so still to this day I don't understand the reason behind this complete shave). Attaching pictures of my dog after this groom vs a groom done by another company earlier this year to show comparison in how bad this cut was. I tried calling several days in a row to speak with the Shaggy Paws owner about my disappointment in all of this and he would not call me back, which was also frustrating. When I finally got ahold of him, he was rude and unprofessional. He told me to fact-check with the vet again about what they inspected and to just follow up with the vet about any concerns post ear grooming. I would avoid this place and go somewhere else
