Nachy is usually terrified when I take him to get groomed, but but with Reuben he was happy and relaxed before, during, and after his beauty session. We are both very happy with his new 'do! The store is well appointed with a cultivated selection of pet accessories, toys, and treats (treat samples too!). The owner John is very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend Pet Parents.

A Nightmare You Don't Want to Subject Your Beloved Pet To…read more I've never been so furious in writing a review. If you love your cat, do not--DO NOT--bring them here. Our cat came back looking as though he'd been through a horror show, and we are livid. Bruises All Over from "Gentle Grooming" (we have pictures) Our cat was a long hair that we asked to have their fur taken down to that of a short hair cat. What was unforgivable were the purple, fingerprint-shaped bruises scattered across his body. When we first saw those marks, we were horrified and confused: bruises? How could regular grooming leave deep purple handprints on our pet? We immediately took him to the vet, who confirmed they were bruises--plain and simple. This was not a sleepy "heavier-handed" brushing; these were bruises from someone handling him roughly enough to leave real-live finger marks. Cuts, Cuts, and More Cuts If bruises weren't appalling enough, the groomer also managed to slice our cat multiple times with her clippers or scissors. These weren't tiny nicks; we could plainly see irritated, bleeding slashes in his skin where she obviously rushed or mishandled the tools. We've taken our cat to other groomers before--no one else in their right mind inflicts this kind of damage on a healthy, cooperative animal. Our Once-Happy Cat Was a Panicked, Hissing Mess Our normally sweet, affectionate cat came home terrified, his personality completely altered. He hissed at us--his own family--cowered in corners, and spent hours hiding under furniture, trembling. He refused to engage with any of his favorite toys or treats. He was in a full panic. Whatever "technique" this groomer used traumatized him beyond belief. Quite frankly, it felt like we picked up a stranger from the shop--an anxious, broken version of the cat we dropped off that morning. Pushing an Unreasonable Subscription Plan Instead of acknowledging their horrific performance, the groomer had the gall to pitch us a subscription plan--a monthly grooming plan--for an outrageous fee. They tried to convince us that our cat "needed" this routine maintenance. Are you kidding? After the physical and emotional trauma their so-called "service" inflicted, the last thing we want is to trust them near our cat again. This pushy upsell felt downright predatory: gouging a raw deal to "maintain" a pet they'd already harmed. Final Verdict: Avoid This Place at All Costs If you love your animal, do not, under any circumstances, take them here. I'm seething that we even gave them a chance. Every parent of a cat knows that trust and safety come first. This groomer not only violated that trust but injured our cat both physically and mentally. They clearly lack basic compassion, competence, or respect for the creatures they claim to care for. Save yourself--and your pet--from this horror. Take your cat to a groomer who actually cares about--and knows how to handle--animals safely. Our experience here was nothing short of negligence bordering on cruelty. We're deeply angry, heartbroken for our cat, and will never forgive the damage they inflicted.

My dog Piper loves going to The Dog Stay for overnights when my husband and I go out of town or…read morePiper just needs 24 hours playing with other dogs. When we get out of the car she pulls so hard to hurry up and get inside! We've tried a few daycares and this is the only one we trust with our little girl. The owners are great! The only thing I would change is the fact that they don't have cameras. Would love to be able to peak in on her fun during the day.

Formally expressing disappointment regarding the experience at the Dog Stay, Silver Spring location…read moretoday, Saturday, March 14th. Having been a long-term client since the previous management under Lincoln and his brother, I was surprised & frustrated by the unprofessionalism encountered during our visit (social evaluation). I recently requested a week-long boarding schedule for pet for next week. Following the request, a staff member emailed for a new social evaluation. Despite the stress of recent travel, my pet completed the evaluation successfully. However, the process was abruptly ended & pet was ultimately disapproved--not based on behavior, but due to a personal personality clash between myself & the staff member, TT. Furthermore, TT mentioned additional daycare fees outside of the standard boarding costs. It became clear the decision to reject pet was based on TT's personal opinion of our interaction rather than pet's conduct. My pet is friendly, loving & has historically been a model guest at this establishment. The current lack of a standardized, objective process for securing daycare & boarding is concerning. It is highly unprofessional for a pet's approval to be contingent upon a staff member's personal feelings toward a client. The level of service & care experienced today is incomparable to the high standards set by previous management. I hope you will review the evaluation procedures to ensure they are based on objective criteria rather than personal bias. I do not recommend the Dog Stat under the current management. New management has drastically changed its climate.

It's filthy from the moment you walk in, run down, and smells. They are unorganized with paperwork and air freshener bottles all over the place behind the front desk... a mountain of very dusty cords in the corner just awaiting to catch fire, an air purifier clearly not helping, and the employee did not greet us. Did I mention the old laundry detergent container holding open the entryway door? If this is how they care about their first impression, then I can't imagine how little they care about the animals. The employee looked up my dog's record and was most concerned with her being spayed... which tells me they don't watch the animals carefully and there has been a pregnancy in the past. We left immediately. Won't return.

When I arrived, the receptionist was so kind, and asked me about any triggers/fears my dog had. She confirmed the services, and texted me an hour before her pickup time. She smelled wonderful, and they gave her an adorable bandana! They gave me a thorough rundown of how she did, and the following day, they sent me several photos (all great quality) and really detailed "report card" of how she did, including what foods she was motivated by, the fact that they used towels vs a drier, how she did with everything -- pretty much anything you need to know! The only downside is that it seems a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it. They have plenty of services, and I opted for the healthy skin and coat treatment and blueberry facial on top of the basic grooming, so that of course brought the price up. But I will absolutely be bringing my dog here again!

When I visited, there were six customers and a couple of dogs inside, which made the space feel quite full. It's definitely a spot that draws in pet lovers. The selection is impressively diverse, with everything from treats to accessories, and it's clear they've curated their inventory with care. That said, the prices were surprisingly high across the board. While I appreciate the quality and variety, it's not somewhere I'd return regularly based on cost alone. If you're looking for specialty items or just want to browse a unique pet shop, it's worth checking out. But budget-conscious shoppers might want to keep that in mind before visiting.
