I was referred to Perky Poodle by a friend and have been bringing my doodle mix there for the last year and a half. He gets very excited when we arrive. I appreciate that it is typically easy to get an appointment at Perky Poodle in the same week you need one. On the day of your appointment, you can drop your pet off between 7:30 and 10 am. They'll ask you around what time you'd like to pick your pet up or they can just give you a call when they're ready. I love the flexibility this provides for me and that they take however much time they need with my dog. From my researching of grooming in the area, Perky Poodle seems to be pretty middle of the road price wise for a doodle mix. Although some places charge less, I am always impressed by the quality of my dog's groom. He gets frequent compliments after grooming and I love that he gets a seasonal bandana to complement his new look. As we've continued to visit Perky Poodle, I think his grooms look even better after each visit. Lastly, I appreciate the service and care Perky Poodle provides. After one groom, my dog developed a hot spot and Perky Poodle took full responsibility, checking in on my dog and compensating us for the vet bill on our next visit. We were already loyal customers and this ensured we will continue to be. read more

Perky Poodle did a wonderful job with my foster dog! It's hard finding a place willing to give the care and patience to work with a dog fresh out of the shelter, but the team here helped Peluso look his best before heading up north for rescue! read more

I have had a hard time finding a place to groom my older dog until now. Perky Poodle is awesome! They took really good care of her and knew just what to do to handle an older dog, with love and patience. Ease of setting up appointment and customer communication was great as well. read more

Seriously the best groomer i have been to! My dog has insane anxiety and usually takes 2 hours to groom at least, they had him out in an hour and 20. He was super matted and they got all of them out without having to shave him. So happy I found them and Bubba is too!! read more

The best groomer in Dallas. The owner was a vet tech many years ago, so she and her staff are well-trained in pet health and care. Leigha (the owner) is very straightforward and honest--always ensuring that her clients are happy. They don't only groom show dogs, but they are known around the country for that. They love dogs of all shapes and sizes. read more

Perky Poodle gives my 2 handsome boys the best grooming they could possibly get and they are the kindest and most caring people you would ever want to know. My poor Finley had a horrible case of diarrhea after he was all finished. Not only did they rewash and dry him (at no charge) Ollie sent me home with towels in case we didn't make it home before another accident. She brought me to tears the next day when she called to make sure he was feeling better. This is above and beyond great service! Thank you Ollie, Daniel and Matty and all the fabulous staff at Perky Poodle! read more

Unaware! Really! You were the one that brought my dog out to me. You clearly could see something was wrong and I asked you what happened so you were definitely not unaware my dog was injured. As for the vet bill, it was more than one visit and now I have a issue that has to be addressed every time he needs grooming. Which is the real reason I posted this review. I don't want anyone else to have to go trough this because you weren't forthcoming! read more

Y'all my dogs are high maintenance and picky with groomers. The guys at Hollywood Feed scared my Ringo to death putting towel around him because he gets so scared. These guys have been consistently the best loved groomers. Thanks to my client at the Dallas country club who told me about y'all read more

Wish I could give zero stars. Completely overpriced and did not even get what we asked for. I asked them to take him back and fix him, and they did. But most importantly, our puppy came out with cuts all over his stomach. It was his first cut. I can only imagine his experience will scar him for future cuts. Will not be returning. read more

Now that we have had a proper bath and puppy cut (clean up eyes, sanitary and paws) I have changed my mind and would definitely plan on using PP in the future! Our Poodle Mix Parker is happy too after a botched grooming job at another groomer in Frisco! GREAT JOB PERKY POODLE!! read more

Perky Poodle - Great job on shampoo and puppy cut for Parker our poodle mix - Pet Groomers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Chose this place because it's very close to home. I needed a basic full groom for my mini Aussie including a paw fur trim. His cut was noticeably terrible on his behind, like genuinely embarrassing for both of us if he could see it lol. Also they did not trim his paws and he is shedding so much 2 weeks after. They did seem to be gentle since he is extremely anxious but we will not return. I'll just take him to his vet from now on. read more

What a bummer the whole Perky Poodle experience was. I called around about a week and a half ago to find a groomer who could take care of our Newfoundland and British lab. They had an opening and told me to be there at 7:30am today. I found it odd that they didn't ask me what kind of dogs and really anything else...I felt like I had to feed the info to them, even though they didn't ask. Anyway, we show up bright and early and they ask for the vaccine records. Oops, I didn't know we had to have those. It makes perfect sense, and I agree with the policy, but I didn't know. One dog was overdue, and the vet was closed that early, so we were turned away. It sure would have been nice to have known that, as I had plenty of time to have taken care of it. We persevered, ran over to Katy Trail Animal Hospital (BEST vets ever!) and they did a quick vaccine without an appointment! With that taken care of we went back and dropped the dogs off. A simple bath for the lab and a de-mat and bath for the newf. The groomer stated that her mats were not bad at all and didn't anticipate any issues. They said that they would be ready for pickup at 3pm, but would call when they were ready. We didn't get a call, so called them at 3:15 or so and they were ready. We ran over to get them and the lady said that the newf would be given one more chance but if any further incidents occur that she would not be welcomed back. She's the most gentle dog in the world, what possibly could she have done??? They said that she did it want to stand up,,,she wanted to sit (typical for the breed), so it turned it into a 2 person job. During them trying to keep her up, they said that their table broke and blamed it on the dog. The lady that brought her out to us had a scowl on her face and visibly disliked our dog. We both got a bad vibe from her...we felt like she hated our dogs. Not a nice feeling, especially after spending more than $200 on simple baths and light mats!! We did like Ali, she was pleasant and nice. I think she felt bad being the messenger of that news. The owner apologized for the lack of communication about the vaccines. The part about the not being welcomed back potentially and the strong feeling that they hated our dog is unacceptable. I could understand if the dog was mean or bit or something, but she just wanted to sit...which is her relaxed and lazy nature. We will not be going back. read more

SILLY ME, I assumed that a grooming salon would ACTUALLY have a groomer there during the hours of operation!!! Apparently they all go home at 2PM, even though they are open until 5:30PM. I don't understand? All I can say is that it's super INCONVENIENT considering I was not informed of this so I got off of work early, picked up my dog, went all the way there just to find out all the groomers are gone. How nice!! PLEASE consider stating your ACTUAL hours of operation for your groomers on your website and PLEASE make sure your front line staff is informing people of this when they call. read more

we will never go back. Our dog had blood from the clippers dried on her fur. They put a bandana around her neck that was so tight she whimpered when I went to take it off. They should be shut down!!! read more

I got my mini schnauzer a grooming from here and I absolutely lovedddd itttt!!!! This is the third grooming services I've tried and I think I have hit the JACKPOT! read more

Don't use this place if you have a chance to find another groomer option. The owner is pleasant and attentive to details but there is a problem on the selection of the rest of the people providing dog grooming services. It seems like providing instructional information to new clients is lacking making owners arriving with dogs and not enough documentation about vaccines records. Waste of time! The owner was the only caring and apologetical person for the lack of communication. The rest of the front desk were just not pleasant. At the end, the dogs were cleaned and happy to see us. But for the outrageous price for the service, they should have dressed my dogs with scarfs or bows, like any other groomer would have done. If you consider this place, run the other way. It is pricy and not worth their service. read more

Staff at Perky Poodle are so attentive to my dog . They listen to concerns or special requests. It is easy to schedule appointments, and my dog is always ready on time. Prices are reasonable. Can't imagine going any where but Perky Poodle for grooming ! read more

Enjoyed my interactions here and their assistance in getting me scheduled quickly off the wait list. Unfortunately, the cuts were not up to the quality that I hoped for. It was clear after both cuts the groomer did not either take the time or properly back brush my standard poodle especially on the top knot and ears. I actually re-brushed him after each grooming. The cut was nicely even on the body but the ears and top knot were not well done. Also, the feet and face were not closely shaved which can be a challenge for any groomer but I expect at this price that they are competent enough to use a #30 blade. I wanted this to be my permanent location but have moved on. read more

If I could do no stars, I would. I would be remiss if I didn't at least alert you to the inconsistencies going on at Perky Poodle with their "shed out" service. I dropped both Tucker and Callie off at 10 am this morning to Ali making sure to reiterate my regular confirmation that "No cutting will take place with this shed out, right? No scissors will be used, correct?" She reaffirmed that no cutting would take place. It has become the norm for me to always reiterate these questions due to the fact that cutting has taken place on more than one occasion and I've been told by the owner, Ali & a groomer that scissors never get used during a shed out. Today, for the third or fourth time, I picked up the puppies to find they had been cut. Ali preemptively told me they had been cut then said she had already told the groomer he was going to have to come out and answer to me since I had reconfirmed this morning that no cutting would take place. Their bedroom slippers had been cut off. He claimed that they were "limping" and had matts under their paws. My response was, "then fine- you cut the matts off, but you don't completely cut off the entire bedroom slippers! As I've thought about this more this afternoon, I've truly grown more frustrated with Ali. I communicated with HER the reiteration of the "no scissors." It would have been up to her to communicate to the groomer, which clearly she didn't and then quickly threw him under the bus. And on top of it all, prior to even alerting me to this issue, she quickly grabbed my credit card and had it run and me sign and then started filling me in on what happened. She didn't even bother to offer something as far as compensation for the complete lack of caring about the customers request. Ultimately, what I have come to realize is that the neighborhood groomer that I was so happy to have so close to my house has turned out to be the place that just bathes dogs and does it however they want to, not how the pet owner requests. I've already begun the search for a new groomer and will attempt locating one that specializes in the Cavalier breed. read more

Perky Poodle - Summer cut , she looks so cute - Pet Groomers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've given them about a dozen chances, but am done with them and don't plan on going back. Listening and following instructions is 67% of your job...executing on, said, instructions is the other half. I've told them to dremel my dogs' nails every time and only have this happen about half the time. This may sound small, but when they cut their nails, they're sharp, when dremel'd, they're not...this is simple....follow the instructions. The haircuts are inconsistent and my dogs have been scalped, more than once. This last time, they didn't seem to put enough effort into cleaning my dogs eyes and returned her with dirty eyes and a dirty mouth. I got to the point when I just said I'm done...I'm done having to ask them to redo things they should have done correctly in the first place. read more

I have gone to Perky Poodle for almost 20 years. I've had a Bichon Frise and two West Highland White Terriers. Each time Mike or Ali will ask me what are we doing today. I will give instructions. Unlike the others who rated this one star, I have never had anything but 5 stars. My dogs are very happy when I pick them up and everyone remarks about how wonderful my dogs look. I have seen celebrities come into Perky Poodle to have their dogs groomed while they were visiting. This is a highly recommended dog salon. Their new facilities at the corner of Mockingbird and Lemmon are very nice and parking is so much easier to get in and out of than their former location. I'm leaving in a few minutes to take my dog for grooming. I know she will be beautiful when she gets home. read more

They did such an amazing job! Ziggy came out looking absolutely fantastical and very excited about his new "do"! We requested the "schnauzer cut" and it came out perfect!

Happy with the cuts my Yorkies get at Perky Poodle. They are efficient and usually have the dogs ready earlier than promised. My dogs are happy when they come home. That hasn't always been the case with my pups. I've dealt with hot spots and really lop-sided bad cuts. These guys are consistently good in my experience. Appointments would be nice, but I make it work. read more

Perky Poodle - She's a shy one when it comes to photo ops but she loved her beauty salon visit today! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

They'll never see me again. Ridiculous haircut for a Maltipoo. When I picked my pup up Sept 29th from them I was told "oh his curls will be back in about 48-62 hours. Here we are October 21 and my pup's haircut still looks a mess hair is frizzy and dry. No longer curly; soft and healthy looking. I called to complain and the "owner" called me back. We talked and she preceded to tell me they wanted to make it right with another trim on top of the already uneven cut that he had. Then she proceeded to tell me that his hair was changing from puppy to adult. At 4 months old!!! Stop it please. She said she'd call me back in a few days as we were out of town as she was investigating to find out if they used a harsher shampoo. That was October 5 or 6th. Haven't received a call back yet. I am wondering if my dog will ever have the coat he had before this haircut at perky poodle. Looking at the reviews on yelp I ignored and took my chances. I chose wrong. Never again! Save yourself the time. read more

I have been bringing my dog here for a few years now and I have never had an issue besides a few sub-par hair cuts. My recent visit to Perky Poodle will be my last. I dropped my dog off and was told that it would be a "late pick up" due to them being behind. The lady, (Owner?) told me that she would call me when to pick my dog up. I waited from 11am to 6pm for a call. Well, that never happened. I thought it was weird that I didn't receive a call by their closing time which was 5:30pm. My partner asked me as he was leaving work if I wanted him to pick up our dog as well. I told him no again as I still had not received a phone call. I waited a little longer before I called and got no answer around 6:30pm. My partner got home and said that we needed to call and try everything to get our dog that evening. We had no idea where our dog was or how she was feeling being left there without us, and we surely were not going to leave her there for a weekend! I drove to the store and to my surprise, it was closed! At this point I started to panic and I knocked to see if anyone was in the store but no answer so I ended up leaving a message with my name and phone number. It took an hour for someone to get back at me; I was furious. The lady said they called me 2 times and left a message, and she had already quoted me out for 2 nights of boarding. I have phone records that prove otherwise that I never received a call. I believe they called the wrong person because the lady kept calling me David. Who is David?!?! They didn't take responsibility for their mistakes and I never received an apology. This is not how you handle business and treat customers especially since I've been coming here for a few years. You ask questions and figure how to fix it, and make it right. I won't be revisiting this place for services or care for our dog, ever again. read more

We have taken our pup here twice and love how he turned out both times. They gave us exactly what we wanted and he doesn't seem scared when we pick him up like he has from other places. That to us is a huge win! read more

The grooming done on my 2 Yorkies looked decent but upon arrival of picking them up I was told that one of my babies fell from the groomers table and knocked out 2 of his teeth and was bleeding. I usually groom my kids myself so they are very used to be handled and are so good. I couldn't believe they were so careless at this establishment. They also charged me full price and offered nothing to compensate for the situation. I will not be returning. read more

Leigha is great! She groomed my dogs for years and has a gentle way with dogs. She has that calming energy my rescue dog needed. He would come home calm and happy vs other places he was a nervous wreck! She also groomed my other dogs over the years and I always felt I was leaving them in confident hands. Thank you Leigha for being so wonderful to my fur babies over the years. read more

I came in wanting my dog to just have a good bathing and a face trim. I was VERY specific on how I wanted his face cut and told them EXACTLY what I did not want his face to be cut like. I even showed them pictures. I pick him up and they cut him exactly how I told them not to. Oh and they also charged us $70 for a full grooming when all he got was a bath and a terrible face trim. Not planning on coming back here. They also didn't call us when he was ready to be picked up but I iust showed up anyways and he was ready. read more

Love the atmosphere here and the girl that works the front desk is very sweet! I would have given 5 stars but is seems very odd they don't have a brochure of different services offered like a basic, deluxe, premium type grooming service. Packages and add ons are soooooo important and easy for people to choose. Besides that, they have a cute selection of goodies to buy your pet too. It's located in a strip mall that looks to be pretty new and nice... read more
