I wish I had found Patricia sooner! She took great care of my guy. He is 16 so not all groomers would take him but she was flexible with her schedule and was able to expedite him a little because of my schedule constraints. Most importantly, she did a great job cutting his hair for his photo shoot that weekend. read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I am having a hard time even thinking of where to start. Scheduling was fine, we showed up at 11, I had a mask on and was ready. Things you notice when you first walk in...(1) No one is wearing a mask and its a tight space; (2) they quoted me $45-50 which seemed reasonable; (3) the place is NOT clean, there was what I assume was dog pee in the entryway that multiple people had passed but never bothered to clean up. They told me don't go too far he should be done in 40 min. Worked for me I went shopping and 30 min later I get a text that he's ready. I walk in and the man at the checkout desk greats me by saying "Its 50 but I should have charged you more since it took 3 of us to hold him down...." What the Actual Hell, then he goes into how we should be bringing him every six weeks so he gets comfortable with them....How about you take more time with the dog instead of doing a wash, dry, and nail trim in 30 min. The man upfront was so rude and crass that I would give a zero review but the dogs nails look good. I am going to have to think long and hard if this place should be reported for not following ANY COVID protocols. Also, I get home and take the below hair off him....not worth the money. read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming did a great job with my domestic longhair cat. His fur recently got badly matted, and we desperately needed help. With the pandemic, however, almost no one was offering cat grooming. Pat and Tom were able to get us in right away. Due to the amount of matting he had, they had to clip most of his fur. That part didn't surprise us. What did surprise us was how good they made him look. Our cat looks years younger, and is even acting much happier. I expect we'll be taking him back periodically from now on. Pat and Tom were friendly people, and were great with our boy. Tom gave us some good advice for helping avoid matting in the future. They do run the business out of the basement of their house. It's well equipped and has it's own entrance, but don't expect it to look like PetSmart. It's a genuine mom and pop small business, and one I would definitely recommend. read more

My precious 12 yr old Reggie had a neurological event last summer which left him with anxiety and some physical challenges. His last groomer refused to continue working with him even though I bent over backwards for him. His comfort and hygiene are so important to me. We went to Patricia this week. Patricia and her husband loved Reggie through the process until he was able to relax. He came away quickly clean, well-cut, and with nicely trimmed nails. I am so grateful to find someone who truly cares and knows how to work with older dogs. Reggie slept all day, loved and comfortable. read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Little Reggie with supercharged Dipper. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I'm a very proud owner of a Yorkie mix (Kingsley). Kingsley weighs 6 pounds but has extreme anxiety in new settings, specifically the vet and grooming salons. My fur baby's anxiety caused him to often become aggressive. Prior to Pat and Tom, I was advised (heavy)sedation was the only solution. Some groomers weren't even willing to try. Pat and Tom groomed Kingsley, despite his aggressive behaviors (with no sedation or muzzle). Pat took time to understand Kingsley and build a positive rapport. As an owner, I am of the belief Kingsley could sense Pat's genuine concern. Kingsley was given constant reassurance by Pat and Tom throughout his grooming. Pat was able to calm Kingsley. Subsequently, Kingsley became less defensive and more cooperative. Kingsley looked absolutely adorable afterwards and left wagging his tail. read more

Excellent groomers. Nothing to complain about. Convenient location. I'd strongly recommend them to anyone.

Very professional! I would definitely recommend this place. My dog had a previous negative experience with another groomer so he became really aggressive and would snap at people. I tried other groomers and all of them wouldn't take him in because of his behavior. I'm so glad I found them. They worked really quickly, their shop was clean, and they were able to manage my dogs behavior and best of all my dog didn't leave the shop trembling or aggressive read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - After a ton of hair was removed! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

so i have been going to this business for a while about 1 year for grooming my doggie. so today my appointment was for 9 am when i called John or Tom not sure of his name...he was like hmmm so i said 830,he said yeah just bring her in. Now mind you when we first started they would take 2 hours or 2 1/2 so i thought that was the right amount of time for my Yorkie small dog. so today when i brought her in he said how's your day look like i said i am off so ...6 hours later nothing from them when i called him he said that certain dogs take priority hmmmm where does it say that in the office NO WHERE! so i came in to pick up my doggie Pat was still working on her, so i asked John a question if dogs are being bumped off due to overbooking or priority why then do you make appointments?then he comes out from behind the desk with the appointment book and says here let me show how the fu## this works ...i said excuse me don't you talk to me that way i am not cussing at you refrain ...so i said just give me my doggie he went to reach for her all mad ..i said no let pat bring her so she did then she gave her to me she then turned around to tell him to calm down ..he shoved her out of the way to open the door kicking me out..i am not sweating my end just the fact she didn't finish her 5 hours later again overbooking after the way he treated her i think he does it to work her to death..also i think the guy doesn't like spanish american people..get this he goes to church,he really does need Jesus,he's the reason why i don't go to church because there full of people like him. So anyways i gave 1 star for Pat because she is exactly that not that bozo husband she has and he will overbook you them Pat's business is the one that suffers,find somewhere where they will understand your needs as well as your dogs needs. read more

It's official! Patricia dee will be my forever groomer! I have a golden doodle with the weirdest hair because he is a hybrid. We live in Maryland and it is really difficult to find a good dog groomer. After two years of looking for the right groomer , believe me it was 2 years of searching, we went through petsmart, Severn grooming , Sean Patrick and plenty more. They always made him look funny because doodles are hard to shape with different types of hair. Patricia Dee grooming was amazing!! They were very helpful when we came in- she asked a picture of how I did NOT want him to look and I showed her a past picture. After that, she asked me if I trusted her, and bam! I gave her my dog and left it all up to her. When I picked him up , I was beyond shocked at how she made my dog look like a giant Bichon frise and I loved it!! I booked my next appointment already. It is quite pricey but hey it is definitely worth it. Dropped him at 9:30am , got him back at 3:30pm Pros: -Excellent groomer and staff - super polite and straight to the point -parking is good -dog area in front of her house so they can relieve themselves -follow up calls -location easy to find -clean environment -accepts credit cards/checks Cons: -Friday/Saturday appointments only -pricey -no online reservations read more

I wish I could fully express how incredible this service is!! we got our kitty from a chaotic household, and the poor thing had matted fur, chunks missing in her coat, overgrown nails, smelled like cigarettes, and had feces stuck to her bottom. we called around desperately trying to find a groomer willing to work her in, and Patricia picked up the call. she was kind and courteous on the phone, and willing to work us in on the same day. she and her husband run the business, and they're very knowledgeable about what they do. they were so good with our cat, and she wasn't afraid at all, and was even purring on the car ride home! it's a quaint little salon, and I really felt like they gave her all of their care and attention when she was there (and we saw some gorgeous doggo's leaving just before us, who looked immaculately groomed)! when we picked her up, less than an hour later, her front and back nails were trimmed, her fur was given a beautiful haircut, all the knots and matting were removed, she smelled beautiful (like a great load of fresh, cotton laundry), the fur between her paw pads was trimmed, her bottom was cleaned and trimmed, and she was friendly and happy! they even gave us grooming tips before we left on how to care for her coat as it grows back in (she's a Siberian). we were hesitant about the lion's cut at first since her long fur is a part of her "look," but it was really the only option because of how neglected she had been until we got her. and guess what-- we LOVE her haircut!! we think she looks so cute, and she's so nice to cuddle up with. we will definitely be regulars here. be ready to pay in cash; there's a little mall, bunches of fast food and ATM's nearby to get a snack and grab a tip, and I cannot recommend this business highly enough. thank y'all so much!!! read more

They don't wear masks in their tight space. Should be reported. We have lived in 4 different cities, with a variety of dog groomers. We know our dog hates his nails being clipped and his legs being brushed. We told them he can be muzzled if needed. Upon pick up, the owner has the audacity to say that he "should have" charged an extra handling fee because our dog may have growled or snapped at him. He proceeded to psycho-analyze our dog... basically saying he has behavioral issues. Citing the variety of dog groomers we have had and never hearing this before - the owner simply stated that most dog groomers are afraid to lose out on our business. Like Mary, the owner also tried to say our dog needed to come every 6 weeks in order to get used to him so he would no longer do that. Oh. Please. 2 stars because his nails were nice but cut was fine (too short in his face when we tell every groomer we like I keep it teddy bear long). I would pass on Patricia Dee. read more

I've been twice to this grooming service. I have a puppy that is not a year old. When I went to pick him up after his 2nd appointment, I was essentially scolded for his behavior. Although I was told we'll try again and another appointment was booked I felt like me and my pup weren't welcome back, as before we left I was told, "he's a mess." Additionally, for his 1st appointment, his fur was assessed and he was matted. I already knew that and I was told there might be an extra fee to basically repair his coat. I was fine with paying the extra fee, which was $90. I thought that was a little excessive, but I don't know the effort it took so I paid the extra fee without discord. The 2nd time I took him I was charged a handling fee because he was difficult, but wasn't told in advance about this extra charge. I was given a suggestion to give him something to calm him down the next time he came to get groomed --CBD. In summary, I would recommend this service, but only if you have a perfectly behaved animal. Reading your response, you're so defensive. All the points you put in your response, I'm in agreement with, except for letting me know there may possibly be a handling fee before I came to pick him up so I wouldn't be surprised. read more

I had my dog groomed the Saturday after thanksgiving. They were super friendly and informative and went through their entire grooming process with me. Very happy to have brought my fur baby here. Also they were quick to respond to my appointment query and very accommodating to get me in for an appointment fairly quickly. read more

Geesh, the two people with the lousy reviews need to get a life. People who work with dogs do so for a reason! Yes, our people skills tend to suck (actually my people skills suck, Patricia's were fine). (PSSST that's why they work with DOGS) Anyways. Patricia Dee Grooming was booked solid on Saturday. But she was taking reservations for Sunday. What groomer does this, the day before Sunday? Only one in my experience -- THIS one. She didn't make me feel stupid for bringing photos of how I wanted my dog clipped. She wasn't a zillion miles away from me, like everything else seems to be. The price she quoted was pretty much the going rate anywhere you are in the country. Most importantly, she groomed my dog exactly how I like him groomed. She didn't forget a toenail, she didn't add $5 for anals or $5 for a sanitary clip. My dog looks great and it's well worth it. If you are looking specifically for people skills (which, again, this groomer did not seem to lack) bring your dog to a snooty human hair salon and pay triple digits. If you want your dog to look and feel great coming out of the groomers, bring him or her here. read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - It's difficult to make our poor Wally look good, but Patricia listened and clipped him exactly how I asked. :) - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Love this place. Patrica took care of my 14.5 year old Maine coon roxy at the last minute on a Saturday for a very reasonable price. She was very sweet and told us the best time to come so roxy wouldn't have to be stressed out with a ton of dogs around. She knew how to handle and comfort cats because roxy felt comfortable around her even though roxy generally doesn't like new people. Roxy was also badly matted and patrica didn't complain or try to make me feel bad. Roxy looked comfortable the entire time she was being shaved. She smelled great after and her dandruff disappeared as promised by patrica. Would highly recommend and return for all my pet grooming needs. 7/18 Update - I've been back a few more times and the experience has changed somewhat. Patricia still does a great job and tries to accommodate me even though I tend to try to make appointments at the at minute. She also taught me about which grooming tools I should use on my pets instead of what I've been using. However, I do get questions about why my cats have mats or weight problems. I am sensitive to this because I do the best I can and I don't know why I should have to explain myself. Also, it costed $175 for shaving one cat and bathing another. I didn't get the price breakdown so I'm not sure what the cost of each service was but I thought this was on the higher end. Overall, I am still thankful to have a professional caring groomer nearby who takes pride in her work and who I can trust with my pets. read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Roxy after being clean and shaved. Looking much more happy and comfortable. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I've been looking to take my cat to a groomer for a while now but I've always been hesitant because my kitty isn't that comfortable with people handling her. However, Patricia was excellent! Because my cat is a maine coon mix, Patricia recommended to keep most of my cat's hair on because of how beautiful her coat is and her nervous temperament. She did recommend to groom daily and recommended a great comb and spray to use -- which she had at her place and sold it to me at the end of the appointment. Patricia gave tips on handling my kitty and after combing and removing the mats, she gave my kitty a bath which now leaves my kitty fluffy and she smells great, mat-free! I would highly recommend Patricia! read more

I have a senior Pug who absolutely hates having her nails trimmed, and has often been deemed "too difficult" to work with. I spoke with Tom who was completely understanding, told me they would just "see what they could do," and had us come in the next day. We were in and out in 5 minutes, they were able to get to all her nails, and did an amazing job at that! We were very happy! read more

I just picked up my pet Joshua . His first time with Patricia Dee. He never looked so good . So happy with his look. Even Joshua is happy himself. I was worried but Patricia reassured me he will be fine . A follow up phone call later on just to see how he was doing and she reassured me that he is fine and he was calm and didn't do any unacceptable behavior . Oh I was so relieved . Now he look so handsome and clean . The best haircut . I highly recommend Patricia and husband Tom . Surely be back ... read more

I really don't understand how this place got so many five-star reviews... I brought my pup here once for just a bath and they did a fine job and I was okay with it. Patricia then told me that she would be happy to give my dog a trim to help with her excessive shedding. I decided to return again and let Pat trim her trusting that she had so much experience with different dog breeds. My dog is a mixed breed and I'm not one hundred percent sure of what and I've been nervous to get her a haircut because of that. Pat reassured me that it would be fine and good to do for the summer as well. When I picked my dog up today she looked completely different than when I dropped her off. I wish they had been more clear about what a "trim" means because they cut her coat way down more than they should have. Her fur no longer feels soft and she looks awkward. The hair around her neck is way cut down compared to the rest of her. I called them to tell them I was very disappointed and luckily got Tom (the much nicer of the two-she scares me). He was very nice and offered a free bath for the next visit. However I told him I'd have to think about it because I'm very hesitant to go back to them again. Just a heads up if you are thinking of going here- ask about what a haircut means specifically. They didn't explain it to me until after and honestly it sounded like they didn't know what they were doing... he said they didn't mean to cut her so short! I feel terrible that I put my dog through this and now she looks awful. I'm going back to good old Petco... And trusting my own instincts over a supposed "professional". read more

Patricia did such an incredible job with my Llaso/Maltese mix! Everything from initial scheduling to final pickup was A+, and my dog's groom and cut was adorable and so perfect. Patricia also communicates quickly and efficiently via email, which is such a nice perk to have in this day and age. They turned the entire bottom level of their house into a full grooming studio, and it's so impressive. All the other dogs that were there were so happy and relaxed. Thanks to Yelp for helping me find this place! Thanks Patricia! read more

Patricia Dee and her staff were amazing! Personal, professional, and a very good groomer to boot! They took the time to get to know our dog and respond to him as an individual. Really went the extra mile learn and respond to his personality. A wonderful experience. The other dogs in the shop were at ease (and beautiful I might add). Not the least expensive groomer around, but you get what you pay for. BTW, visit her website for a first time 20% off coupon. I missed that until after the fact. Highly recommend her! read more

Absolutely the best!!! They took excellent care of my cat.. I was nervous initially because my cat Zazi is pleasantly plump lol.. And, I wasn't sure how she would take to strangers. But, She did well because Ms. Pat and her husband were kind and gentle with Zazi. They kept me informed from start to finish. Zazi did great and enjoyed being pampered. I highly recommend Patricia Dee Pet Grooming!!!! read more

Miss Patricia Dee did an phenomenal job with our dog that has anxiety issues. So happy that someone recommended her. Because of her expertise and years of experience, She was able to manage and groom her to perfection. Because of her years of experience she was able to talk me through her process and answer questions which no other groomer has ever taken the time to do. Thanks again Patricia Dee. read more

Pat and Tom are friendly and professional. I was very pleased with my smooth collie's grooming.

I have a special needs elderly dog whose heart could no longer take the stress of the big corporate groomers. Patricia and Tom were SO understanding and accommodated our dog to make it as stress free as possible. Our dog looks great and he left with his tail wagging - I am so thankful for the special care they showed him! We will be back! read more

Pat is experienced, but her people skills are zero. Also this place is way over-priced. I didn't realize that initially since I took our first dog there. She charged me $95 for just a bath, and no trimming. Outrageous! Please do yourself a favor and take your dog elsewhere. read more

We recently used Patricia Dee to groom our two Portuguese Water Dogs (porties). Porties are tough to groom and require quite a bit of maintenance. They often leave groomers looking like anything but a Portie. I am happy to report they both look fantastic and are ready for warmer weather. On price to value, I think pet owners pay for what we get when it comes to dog grooming. You pay more with Patricia, but her craftsmanship and commitment to perfection is clear. read more

The grooming was fantastic BUT the personality is so hard to deal with and the price quoted was really off. Also be careful what you sign... Now getting emails about the husbands Christian Rock band. I felt scolded coming out of there. Husband is super sweet but she was so rude. I just can't go back based on the rudeness. If you can totally tune out her attitude and have a lot of $ to spend, the cut is fantastic read more

Patricia helped to calm my nervous rescue cat and removed all of his mats. He is happier and loves to be petted now. I felt comfortable with Patricia, because of her years of experience and her ability to handle my cat in a safe and effective way. The whole process was very fast, about 30 minutes, and my cat didn't hide when we returned home, rather, he came out of his carrier and showed off his new coat! Patricia also showed me effective ways to groom Fuzzy at home, so that the mats won't return. She recommended a comb, and ordered it there for me on the spot. Thanks, Patricia! read more

My puppy is 3 months and after reading on different groomers in the area, I decided to call Patricia Dee. I spoke with her husband Tom who gave great information on their services and tips on bathing the puppy at home. I had called in on Friday afternoon, and they were able to squeeze her in for Saturday morning. When we arrived, Patricia took a look at her hair and discussed how we wanted her haircut. She also gave advice on how to keep her coat from getting knots. My puppy did not have to stay there for hours like they keep your dog at Petsmart. She was ready in no time. My maltipoo looked so adorable, smelled so great like a baby, and was so soft. I'm definitely scheduling her next appointment every 7 to 8 weeks. Thanks so much Patricia and Tom!!! read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I took my cat to Patricia because we'd been trying to find a groomer who we felt had experience and sensitivity to cats. We've found her! I was surprised how calm the cat seemed immediately. She wasn't thrilled, but she did not look or seem stressed and scared. They worked quickly but carefully and allowed me to stay and watch--I think that's a good thing they were totally comfortable with me watching, and even told me where to go so I could see into the bath area so I could watch that too. They even held her so I could get a couple photos (I feel that's the part the cat will really make me pay for!). Patricia and Tom were both really nice too, and gave me tips on grooming her at home. read more

We have owned three long-haired Shih Tzu's over about 21 years (once two at the same time) and Patricia is by far the best groomer we ever encountered. We have been her clients for all of that time, but have tried other groomers two or three times when for some reason it was necessary. Patricia, her husband and partner Tom, and their staff are all wonderful, kind, and very experienced with all types of dogs. She is especially talented with hand-scissoring and I love to see her results with other dogs at the end of the day. She and Tom have given me much good advice over the years. I feel that I could not own a Shih Tzu without her! read more

Patricia Dee Pet Grooming - Boo with his toy Bichon - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Patricia Dee is a superb pet groomer. We've been taking generations of cats to her for bathing, grooming, and nail trims. Most of our cats have made it difficult for us to brush them and nearly impossible to trim their claws. But Pat knows how to calm them down and get them to cooperate. They are like putty in her experienced hands. Occasionally, the charge for bathing and cutting out matted fur that can't be brushed has seemed a bit steep, but it's always worth it. I recommend Patricia Dee for anyone with cats or dogs who wants expert and experienced grooming. read more

Patricia and Tom Dee are the ultimate professionals. I was so impressed with the serene atmosphere of the grooming area and was blown away by their ability to connect and put my cats at ease within minutes. My cats are rescue cats and are weary of most people, but didn't make a peep during the process. Patricia and her fabulous employee John actually found fleas on one of my cats when I had no idea. They reacted quickly, professionally and with kindness. Tom Dee has actually volunteered to help me fog the house while Patricia and John keep the cats at the salon. I am so grateful and very lucky to have found them. I cannot say enough good things- you really shouldn't go anywhere else. read more
