Such kind people. Truly magical humans…read more We started bringing our little Papillon here about two years ago, back when she was a puppy and fully committed to chaos. You know the phase--"oh my... what have we done?" She behaved as though collars, harnesses, or mild inconvenience might actually be the end of her. Somehow--and I mean somehow--the team at Royal Pup Parlor groomed her beautifully and transformed her behavior. I'm convinced a magic wand was involved. She came home calm, happy, and shockingly cooperative. Fast forward to now: she happily sits on my lap while I brush her, gets those dreamy sleepy eyes, and often falls asleep mid-groom. That kind of trust doesn't happen by accident. It happens when animals are handled with patience, gentleness, and real love. Grooming here is clearly an act of care, not just a service. We're so grateful to have gotten her on their schedule--and so are our other pets. We now bring our husky here for deshedding baths and our lab for nail trims. Every visit confirms what we already know: these folks are the real deal. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended.

I took my two dogs to Woodward Ave Dog Grooming in Royal Oak for the first time today, and…read moreunfortunately, it will also be the last. I was initially told the grooming would take about three hours, but it ended up taking 5 hours--far longer than any other groomer I've used. Typically, my dogs are finished in 2 to 2.5 hours, so this was excessive. The pricing was also disappointing. The base price is $75 per dog, but nearly everything else is an add-on--$5 for teeth brushing, $5 for ear cleaning, $5 for nail grinding. If you want the "works," it's $95 per dog, and given how long they already took, I can only imagine how much longer that would have added. When I expressed my frustration about the long wait, the owner explained that her daughter, who is newer to grooming, was taking her time. While I understand the need for practice, I don't think that should come at the expense of the customer's time, especially without any communication. I had to call after three hours to check in, as no one had reached out to let me know it would take longer. To top it off, I was told my dogs were "difficult"--not aggressive, just difficult. In 13 years of grooming, no one has ever said this. Perhaps an experienced groomer would have been able to handle them more efficiently. Overall, this was a disappointing experience--too long, too expensive, and not handled professionally. If you value your time and want a straightforward grooming experience, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

We moved from NYC to Detroit about five years ago, bringing our now oldest pup Bruce, who had lived…read morewith us in NYC for roughly 10 years. We brought a range of experiences with us to Detroit: walkers, play groups, groomers, and vets. So, we had our needs and wishes, experiences good and bad, and we know the real deal when we see it. It took us a few false starts with other places for play, stay/boarding and even grooming to find our way to Puppy Love. It's likely the best referral of my life. Leslie, Stacey and the team there are deeply devoted dog lovers with a core base of knowledge, experience, intuition and expertise that they bring to bear. They have established a large, well equipped, cozy, warm, soothing place -- and focus continually on dogs' interactions, play and socialization, while providing options (both stay, play and sleepover) for dogs of all personality types and ages, those who like to be alone, with humans or with the pack. Later, we introduced our new and second dog Cookie to the mix. She also thrived there. Even more later, we worked with Leslie to re-home a third dog, our little Rosalita, who we essentially adopted. Yes, we have three dogs, and we consider Puppy Love family, as they do us. Cookie and Rosalita play there M, W and Friday and all three dogs groom with Puppy Love. We do long-term boarding often. We've introduced probably 6 friends and their dogs to Puppy Love -- 99% have had a great experience. You may hear periodically of folks where it has not been a fit. Something, Leslie is always happy to address through a mutual exchange of feedback. She and her team know all too well what the other options available in the area are like. Puppy Love is a wonderful combination of romping, safe play space, cozy quarters, naturally lit, staffed by people who love, know and understand dogs -- always ready to help and incorporate feedback. We expect to work with them for as long as we have fur babies in our family. Which, well, will be forever.
