I've been bringing my puppy here for at least 4-5 years, and Preppie Pooch always does such an amazing job. Today was no different. My boy is handsome, smells amazing, and is a happy puppy. Thank you to the entire staff. read more

I've been bringing my English Golden for 4 years. He gets a bath teeth brushed, nail and pads trimmed. excellent service

They have some groomers that are good and others that are so so. We took our dog in the other day and the haircut was pretty good, but they were supposed to excise his glands which we paid for and then a few days later, we had to take the dog to the vet and found out that the glands were not expressed. Little disappointed hope they do better next time. read more

Even my dog loves going here! He starts going crazy in the car at the stop light. I have not encountered one rude person any time I've been. Their prices are amazing compared to their service and quality! I've been to at least 4 different groomers in Virginia Beach with my Shih-Poo and no others come close. It's the attention to detail every single time. And no matter what shape I have brought my dog to them, he's still treated, bathed, and groomed to perfection. read more

Danielle always does an awesome job grooming my Scottie. He comes home looking so handsome!

Cooper loves Preppie Pooch soo much we have forgotten how many years he has been going. They have loved him and treated him as if he was part of the family. Everyone should be lucky to have them love on your pet. I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am for how you have looked after him. Cooper use to hate getting a bath. Everywhere we took home before he would get anxious and his eyes would get bloodshot red. From the first day we walked through their door he loved it. Every Saturday morning when he had an appointment as soon as we pulled up in the parking lot, he would lose his mind because he couldn't wait to get out of the truck and get inside to see his friends. And make no mistake that's exactly who they are!!!! read more

They never answer their phones!!! Or return calls. Brought my fur baby in for a grooming paid for a bunch of add ons to go home and she still had matting in her tail. Also they cut her nails but didn't grind them. Got scratched as soon as I got home her nails were crazy sharp. Her cut was also choppy. She smelled good tho... read more

We've taken our baby here many times and with each visit we find ourselves more and more pleased with the experience. Our baby always seems happy and always smells so good afterwards. Since he is pampered at home I can always tell that they've been very good to him when I pick him up. Recommended, yes. Your baby, like mine will love you for it. read more

Great experience with my two poodle mixes. They listened to me about how I wanted my dog"s hair and made my skittish dog comfortable. The price is great compared to other quotes I received. I will definitely bring my dogs back. read more

Wow- I can't believe how long I have been coming to Preppie Pooch. It is definitely time for a review update! I still take my Pomeranian here. Sadly, divorce separated me from my other fur-baby. I am not ashamed to admit that I miss that dog way more than I miss my ex. Unfortunately, the staff at Preppie Pooch didn't handle the transition very well. They called me multiple times for appointments that my ex was making. Both myself and my ex told them several times that ownership of the dogs has changed post-separation and asked them to update their system. Finally, when a call brought me to tears from how badly I wanted to pick him up from that appointment, but couldn't because he was no longer my dog - they fixed everything in their system. It would have saved me some heartache if they could have just done it right sooner- now I'm just venting and not reviewing though. I share this, because I have ultimately not decided to change my rating for Preppie Pooch based on this experience. For the last 6-7 years I have gotten great service and I think that should reflect in my rating more than what is just an administrative issue when you simplify things and take the emotions and embarrassment out of it. Appointments are usually available within a few days of me calling. They do a great job dealing with my little Pomeranian who can be a jerk and poops on the floor of their lobby every time we visit. Seriously, every time no matter how far I walked him before going- it's so embarrassing! They also always did a wonderful job with my previous dog who was a fence jumper and just not the brightest creature on this planet (one of the sweetest though). I've definitely had some "interesting" cuts from other groomers, but Preppie Pooch has always been consistent and the pup comes back clean and happy. When my financial situation changed and I kept getting the painful calls about "his" dog, I absolutely looked for alternate spots. The primary factors were cost and convenience- Preppy Pooch beat the competition in both categories. Not far off the interstate, it is really convenient for picking him up and dropping him off. I know in the long term I won't make the drive to another city in Hampton Roads for grooming appointments. The prices are competitive with other groomers in Virginia Beach, but I'm not sure how the prices compare in other HRVA cities. I really like the daycare element too. At the end of the day, I care less about receiving amazing customer service for myself. The appointment isn't "for me." As long as I feel like my dog is getting the care and attention he needs and comes back looking (and smelling) great- I'll keep coming back to Preppie Pooch for years and years. read more

I've been on the search for a new groomer for my 10 month old Fur Baby Lila. SEARCH OVER! I mean look at that perfect face! Thank you Preppy Pooch! read more

I used to take my dog to petsuites VB but they required too many vaccines so I went to preppie pooch solely based on their amazing reviews. Shortly after his first grooming he got a really bad eye infection, so bad they thought he had acute glaucoma. This resulted in over 800 dollars in vet bills but didn't think it was related to the grooming at all. However, after his second grooming, my husband was worried because my dog had a film over his eye. I irrigated it and there was hair/leftover product in it which made me suspect that could have caused the infection last time. On top of that my dog has been shaking and so uncomfortable biting at his butt after his most recent grooming a couple days ago. I took a look and he has a lump that looks like a hemmoroid. He was fine before he was groomed, no one mentioned anything to me, and I can only assume this is due to the draining of his anal glands and them not being done at all or done incorrectly. Now I have to shell out more money at the vet. I will say, his haircut is wonderful, but his health and wellness is far more important to me. Something isn't right about this place, as these things happening right after grooming aren't coincidental. If you care about your dog, maybe look else where. read more

I've been trying to find a groomer for my Yorky who would listen to how I want her cut and Preppie Pooch has done an excellent job! I'm so pleased and look forward to many years of grooming to come. I highly recommend them but don't take my spot, lol! read more

My pup always looks handsome after coming home. I love the care and attention they give him. One time they did cut his back paw during service and didn't tell me about it until I picked him up and just kinda shrugged it off and said they didn't know how he just started bleeding. No apology or anything. I examined the wound and it was pretty clearly from scissors. It would have been nice of they had just said there was a little accident and apologized. I wouldn't have been upset but how they kinda shrugged it off has left me a little uneasy about brining him again. read more

This place amazed me. My Bon Bon looked like a whole new dog when I picked her up and smelled so amazing and I paid $42.00 plus a tip. I took her to another place a week prior (Great Neck doggie daycare) and they charged the same amount just to give her a basic wash and she still smelled bad and they said it was her ears, they were a bit yeasty from a possible ear infection. I will definitely be bringing her to Preppie Pooch for now on. They have a loyal customer read more

I called and talked to them regarding our dog Maggie . We are fulltime RVers and were going to be in Virginia Beach for a few weeks. Our dog is 10 years old and has always been fearful of the groomers, she had a couple of bad experiences when she was young and since this she can be difficult when getting groomed. After talking to Preppie Pooch and feeling comfortable with them we brought her in and were glad we did. She looked great and seemed at ease when we picked her up! Would totally recommend them! read more

Preppie Pooch stands alone as the best grooming experience for my dogs. After a couple of horrible experiences elsewhere with my Golden Retriever, once i found Preppi Pooch my search was over! My now Goldendoodle is always beautifully bathed, and groomed to my preferences. They truly are the best! I schedule appointments ahead so I will never need to go anywhere else. read more

Best groom my dog has had since we started having him groomed a year ago! We recently switched to preppy pooch from another groomer and I didn't realize how poorly he was being groomed at the other groomer until he came here! He was also less stressed and super happy when I picked him up. They also kept him for less time so he was less exhausted when he got home! All around a great experience and I'm so happy we switched! So is he! Lol read more

They got Tucker finished exactly when they said they would. The non Kennel approach is nice and the dogs seemed to enjoy the freedom of roaming around while they were being groomed. read more

I picked this place because of the reviews and their adorable menu. Had an appointment for today and I walked out with NO services. My interaction went like this: Me:"My dog has really sensitive skin and breaks outing hives after a haircut. His previous groomer (San Diego) trims his hair first and then washes him" Employee: "we don't do that" Me:"because?".... Employee: "our clippers get dirty if he gets a trim before a bath" Me:"so you don't clean your clippers in between clients?" Employee:"we just don't do that. He'll get a bath and then trim" So since I didn't want my dog to be uncomfortable with hives I walked out. Sure, I could've just let him get a bath instead of a full groom, but I didn't want to be a customer to an establishment that refuses to accommodate for the client. If your dog has skin issues, then this is not your place for grooming. They have a protocol and apparently can't waiver from it for your pooch. read more

I've been being my dog here for years with always great results. Such a kind staff. I've been satisfied with my and my dog's experience every time. I've moved, so Preppie Pooch is a little out of the way--I still make the trip because I know I can trust them with my dog. read more

Excellent service, wonderful with my very large baby! On time, efficient, good products.

We have been going to Preppie Pooch for about 4 years maybe longer. For the most part the groomers have always been great and done a good job. Lately though trying to get in there to get an appointment ahs been near impossible. It normally now take 2 months to get one. I understand with COVID it is a challenge. The issue I had today was the breaking point. My dog had his appointment for over 2 months. They called today and asked if I could bring him in early and that was great. When I dropped him off they then told me they close at 4 pm which was a problem which I told them I had another appt. They said they would work with me to get him out early. I then got a phone call saying he would be ready right at 4 and I have to pick them him up at 4. i was able to pick him up at 3:45. When I ask why he was scheduled for a 2 hour appointment at 3pm if they closed at 4. I was told oh we would of stayed later if you couldn't of brought him in early. Bottom line is that I changed my schedule to get him him early because I thought there was an issue with closing at 4. Come to find out it was for their conveyance not mine. When I told the cashier that I was not happy and was coming to look for another groomer, her response was ok nothing else not even sorry. Hope their service gets better I wont go bad. read more

I love this place SO much! The girls are so lovely and my girls love them too. They are always so patient and loving to my girls. I appreciate that they let the puppers run around with other dogs to have some play time. Their prices are really nice as well. I recommend this place so much!! read more

My pup Marley loves coming here! She gets a de-shed, sugar scrub, oatmeal shampoo and comes out feeling super silky and smelling so good. We let her spend the day here on grooming days and she always sleeps so good the night of. They truly care and love her as much as we do. read more

When it comes to my dogs, there's nothing more satisfying than having them come home smelling and looking fresh after a few hours at the groomer. It's a win-win. I get a few hours to myself at home, my dogs get their needed cleanup, and ta-da, everyone's happy! On one occasion, Bogey found him a little girlfriend at the dog spa. I couldn't have been a happier dog dad. My little Lilian gets so scared as soon as she arrives but by the time I pick her up she's wagging her tail in excitement. I get super stoked taking them there and I love everything about my dogs when I pick them up. Everyone at the facility is friendly and they take care of all the dogs that come through there with tender love and care. Highly recommended for all your dog grooming needs: bath, facial, paw rub, nail trim, anal gland expression, ear cleaning, etc. read more

Preppie Pooch all the way! I just moved to the area 5 months ago and had been desperate to find a place for my cockapoo, who needs grooming every two months. Yesterday was her third visit and not only was she excited to go, she literally leaped into the receptionist's lap and doggie hugged her. They treat your furry friends very well here. She was done a couple hours later, smelling lovely, and looking amazing. Five stars all around! read more

My dog's appointment was in the morning on 11/19/22. The young lady working the front desk was so friendly and informative. After about a couple hours our dog was clean, smelt great, nails trimmed, and very happy! Previously, I even let them know that he has been a little extra itchy lately. Thankfully, he's on preventive and no fleas were found, so they suggested an oatmeal bath. He doesn't scratch as much now, so I'd say the oatmeal bath really helped! This was our first time to try preppie pooch and we will definitely be back. :) read more

As always, staff very professional and compassionate. My dog always comes out smelling and looking wonderful.
