When you walk in there's a small entrance that separates you from the grooming area. It seems really secure for the dogs inside. They have a book showing the different levels that they can cut which is really helpful! I had a nice chat with the groomer and told her everything we wanted. She followed my instructions and my dog looked adorable! It's a bit pricier than what I've been paying in Vienna, but we will be back for sure.

She's always been wonderful to work with, especially when it comes to my reactive dog, who has been going there for nail trims for years. Ken usually handles my dog's nail trims, and he's amazing--efficient, patient, and so good at making my dog feel comfortable despite his reactivity. Angie grooms my Pomeranian mix, and she always does a fantastic job. My dog comes home looking adorable every time! Whenever I'm there, I also notice how gentle, attentive, and caring the other groomers are with the dogs they're working on. It's clear that everyone at Pawtiques genuinely cares about the pets they see. I highly recommend Pawtiques to anyone looking for a caring, skilled, and trustworthy groomer!

Fantastic self dog wash!…read more My favorite option for washing our 100# Shepard without breaking the bank near Springfield. Basic wash fee gets you access to their tubs with adjustable temp water sprayers, assorted shampoos, towels, and high powered blow dryers with different nozzle attachments. They have 5 self wash tubs with ramps and washing harnesses (so your collar can stay dry). Also there are rubber aprons for your convenience to minimize your secondhand shower. Blowing out that undercoat helps with heavy shedders A LOT. Come to the dog wash so you don't destroy your house every time you wash your floofy friend. This store has a large selection of treats and food as well. Our good boy gets to pick a cookie as a reward after the water torture. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Yesterday, I called in to ask if the food I had ordered for my foster dog had come in. The conversation I had with the manager went downhill fast. He told me that what I was saying couldn't be true, since they don't text for special orders. He told me that they didn't carry the food I was talking about. I didn't know the exact name and I was driving. This was the second time I had tried to special order the food. Both times no one called or texted to let me know if had come in. Last time the food was in the shelf and they told me it was out there inadvertently. They did another order for me. A lovely team member helped me. So I knew the food was carried by the store. I was frustrated and told him that I had a picture of it and they definitely carried the food since I had bought it there before. I said I was coming over there, since I needed it. I got there and a staff member I'd never seen had some of the food up front. I had looked on the shelf and what I needed was there too, so the Purina One is carried in the store. Regardless, I asked to speak with the manager I talked with on the phone. I still don't know what happened. But the end result was an argument in front of at least 8 customers, where the manager basically told me it was my fault. That his team member had done the order wrong. They never did find my order request. They also told me that from now on I needed to pay ahead of time. He grabbed a handwritten note from the regional manager and slammed it in the counter. I still have no idea how the conversation degenerated into a store manager yelling and berating me. I told him you're yelling at me. He said, if I was yelling at you would know it lady. I was in tears by the time I reached the parking lot. He yelled at me. Wow... To top it off, because others had seen the argument and didn't know the context, another customer stopped in the parking lot just so he could call me a Bitch... I am heartbroken. This has been my go to store for years. I foster, rescue, transport and work with at risk dogs and other animals. Before yesterday, I couldn't have said enough about the store and the staff. I've recommended and talked about the store frequently. I will never come there again. Being humiliated and talked to that way was one time too many.

First of all, you can book your appointment online if that's your jam, and they send you reminders up to the day of. As someone with social anxiety and ADHD, this is a wonderful feature. Second of all, it was snowing and I was running late and they were super understanding, especially since my dog was on the smaller side. Third, this is THE BEST haircut my dog has had in YEARS!! He walked in extremely nervous and shaking, and came out prancing like a happy prince. They followed to a T exactly how I wanted it, and based on my dog's behavior, they treated him with love and kindness. Last, they were on par with the prices I've paid out in Fairfax. So glad I avoided much worse traffic finding a closer groomer that does a great job! If you're in the Arlington/Alexandria areas, I highly recommend Letty and Kirsten as your groomers!

Danielle is friendly and reliable and most of all - she does a great job. We always go with a short cut on our Maltese for ease of maintenance and Danielle's cuts are very consistent. Our dog always looks the same, which is a big positive in my book. Other groomers have delivered inconsistent looks when we simply wanted the same haircut. The convenience of the mobile service is hard to beat too. It's a little more expensive than service at a brick and mortar building, but it's worth it in my opinion. You won't regret going with this business for your furry friend's grooming needs. Highly recommended. ***In the post-grooming photo of my pup, he'd had a recent vet procedure that resulted in a stitch in his forehead and a partially shaved right leg. Danielle was careful and attentive***

Okay, obviously having the grooming van come to your door is incredibly convenient. What you might…read morenot realize, it minimizes a huge amount of stress! Most groomers do multiple dogs at once--and your dog sits in a cage in the meantime. Not great. Maria is working with just one dog --yours--from start to finish--so it's way less stress for your baby. I should also mention that Maria is the best, kindest, most competent dog groomer in the DMV. Full stop. If you have a small dog, don't even *think* about going anywhere else! Not only will your furbaby be gorgeously groomed, you will have the peace of mind of knowing he is being cared for by 1) someone who genuinely loves dogs, and 2) is also incredibly talented and experienced. I don't trust my little guy with anyone but Maria.

They also don't accept any payment except for cash, and get very angry when you ask how much your total is over the phone (how else am i supposed to know how much cash to carry)? It would probably be easier if their prices were consistently the same for the same services, but they're not and were different with each appointment even though they did the same service every time. When you ask why, they go on a huge rant about how much work they do, which I totally understand. I also understand they prices rise and fall, but everytime? I've never had that happen at a grooming salon and just needed some clarification. Somehow asking over the phone about why the price was higher (not $5 but more like $15) meant that i was unhappy with their service, which was not the case. If you can deal with attitude and misunderstandings on their part, this is the place to go since they DO do a good job, but remember, they don't do large dogs anymore. In the end, its all about the service rendered. 5 stars for how awesome the groom was previously, 2 stars for the ridiculousness of the ever changing prices. I hope its gotten better!

I know my dog had some mats in some areas because I spend over an hour brushing her every night and 24 hours later she gets new mats, but thinking about it now, there is no way she couldn't get 1/4 cut and needed 1/8 instead. It was pure laziness and BS they tried to feed me. The cut was also uneven all over and I had to fix it when she got home. She also doesn't smell like she just got groomed. She smells like a pet store. Additionally, I was quoted $120 on the phone and charged $135 plus an additional $10 for de-matting. What and where exactly did the de-matting occur when she was shaved all the way down and all over except for her head and tail? Talk about ambiguous pricing and hidden charges. Saddest part was that we had to pay before we got the dog so naturally, we tipped 20% but had I seen my dog first I would not have tipped a single penny. For nearby groomers, Barksuds is so much better! I couldn't get an appointment in time and desperately needed a groom which is why I settled for this place knowing they didn't have really good reviews, but wow, I can't believe they think this is "looking pawesome and feeling fabulous.
