DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOUBLE COATED DOG HERE. Overpriced for the poor quality. I saw mixed reviews, but was optimistic and gave the place a chance. Don't make my mistake. My dog basically looks the same, and they were supposed to brush him but I'm near certain they didnt as I'm combing piles of hair off him immediately after. He has a ton of straggly here on top that I assumed would've been tidied but looks like they didn't even touch it. Apparently I got one of their best groomers, so I don't truat this place and will never go here again. Attached a photo of a pile of hair I brushed just from his butt alone. Ridiculous. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOUBLE COATED DOG HERE.

Jake's latest groom...short and sweet!

I wanted to update my review. After many years with grooming experiences in Seattle. Rex has been consistent from new to past owners. It's not easy owning a business, especially service needs. Over the years...patience is paramount to ALOT. My poodle mix is now into his golden years. He is still receiving great service from Rex. Jake could be stubborn in getting groomed but his cuts are always cute! He's a happy pup!

Went back for our annual bath and haircut for both cats this time. Amazing job. He is so good with them and keeps them calm. Got frequent updates which is very nice so I don't worry.

I have two elderly dogs and one of them is not easy to say the least! I managed to get an appointment with Rex within two weeks, which is very unusual at the moment. They did a magnificent job and the dogs were totally happy. From now on, this is my place! My groomer was amazing. She was really sweet and clearly the dogs were happy.

Parker was our groomer!  I

Parker was our groomer! I read the reviews and was scared about my dog getting hurt well being groomed but we already made an appointment so I just went for it! When I got to my appointment I just addressed my concerns and told them it is cocos first time getting a cut that I am aware of and boy was I happy customer when I saw coco he was a totally different doggo when he came out I didn't recognize this was my handsome boy! The cut I asked for was a teddy bear cut! For my peek a Pom (;

After 15 years with Westies, we rescued these two sweet boys. They are a bonded pair of 7 months old. One freaked out of being in a cage on his first visit. The solution: Medicate your dog and knock him out at each grooming. The next solution: Expensive baths at $150 each until the dog passes puberty. If you like random cancellation, uneven basic cuts, this is your place. The door staff refuses to memorize the name of the dogs. Throwing money at this won't help. Last week, we asked for a shave only in the body, no one cared and a thrauma tired dog came back. In 20 years of pet services, this wins worse in the class.

Fresh poodle cut!

Have had one groom so far for my 4-month old standard poodle pup! Dropped her off at 7:30, quick and easy registration process and got a call when she was done! Positives: 1) my puppy loved her cut, she smelled good for like a week. They were very detailed in asking exactly what I wanted!! 2) there was an upcoming snowstorm, so Rex called to remove her appointment up a day so we didn't have to miss and could avoid the snow! AWESOME. 3) cute shop with gifts and treats :) was clean and bright and nice. Couple areas of improvement but excited to continue using Rex: 1) I wish I had been able to see what the back looked like on my first visit. Maybe I will ask next time. 2) drop off was at 7:30am but they were a little late opening. There were three of us waiting at the door until about 7:40 when she arrived to open the shop. 3) I wish there was some easier parking!

Wonderful Service -- Excellent Haircut, Happy customer. Highly recommend the place. This review is for their grooming for my 2-yr old, 16-pound, Australian Labradoodle, Yogi, from Catherine, who is the owner of Rex after a recent change in ownership. We recently moved to Seattle from SF and after a long wait and being cancelled last minute by few other groomers, Rex took us in on a short notice. Their front desk, staff were very polite, friendly and accommodative to our needs. We were consulted by Catherine on the type of hair cut, shampoo choice etc. I was followed up with additional choices of teeth cleaning and blueberry facial for her, which I opted in as well. In the end, she is pretty much odorless yet fresh, beautiful with a toy poodle cut, and her nails neatly filed and her teeth are cleaner than before. She was also prettily sent back with a cute bow tie. Yogi was happy to see us when picking her up and has also been relaxed since. While I didn't get to explore the store, Yogi picked up a dental stick(again unusual of her) from the store on her way and the staff were kind enough to let her take it. Folks at Rex took a solid 4 hours to do the deed -- IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!

NEVER GET GROOMING HERE. We asked for a puppy groom (he is 13 weeks) to get him used to the smells, tools, dryer, loud sounds etc. we asked that they don't do much as he is still a baby and has never done this before. The groomer not only told us that our dog was misbehaving the whole time, but he CUT HIS FOOT. Our puppy is just a baby and this was his first experience. They didn't say one thing positive about our puppy and you could tell our puppy was not happy once the groom was over. The groom was also very poorly done and hair was not cut professionally. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Dog wash!

See all

Rex has been up-and-down over the years, but the newer owners and groomers are AMAZING. Cute, tidy cuts for our little dogs. Check them out!

Parker was an absolute angel and did a stellar job of outlining the grooming process and listening to me try to describe what I wanted done to Baba's coat.

This is apparently a really good groomer, but it seems they are already at capacity with clients…read moreand do not need any new customers. At least that is how I interpret their failure to respond to any of my inquiries. If they are no longer booking clients or responding to their website inquiries, then they should simply put a notice on their website saying, "No longer accepting new clients, for now. Thank you for your interest."

The best dog groomer in town! This mobile groomer will come to you to save you the hassle of a trip…read moreand the grooming session is worth every penny. My 6 month old yorkipoo got his first grooming with Diane. Diane was attentive, calm, very good with my puppy and did an excellent job. Also, I appreciate her asking me what style of cut I wanted. I asked for a trim so his hair doesn't look like he got buzz cut. She seems to be very good with dogs. My pup left happy & even cuter then when he arrived. He received so many compliments so I'll definitely bring him back for another grooming. Little Bear Grooming will be my puppy's main go-to groomer. Can't wait to bring him back for another cut! Workstation/Facility: Clean, spacious, sturdy table & tub Products: pet friendly products and all the proper tools for trimming nails, cleaning ears, teeth cleaning Customer Service & Groomer: attentive, friendly, and considerate of the owner's and dog's feelings, easy to schedule an appointment, convenient Haircut/Style: cute round face trimming, I like how she trimmed and shaped his leg fur, rounded out his paws, he smelled so good and felt so soft

My dog ate a pig ear from here... this is one of many that she has had in the past but my first one…read morefrom this particular shop. My dog has been dealing with constipation and yellow liquid poop for 4 days for what can pass through. I am considering taking her to the vet today. They really should talk to the vendor they are receiving these from as they are obviously selling pig ears with a lot of fat or grease that is causing constipation.

EDIT: I removed names from this review, as I discovered we were given the wrong names by another…read moreemployee. The gentleman had on a newsboy cap and the woman had reddish hair (forgive me for not having better details, I was so sad. But the sentiment remains the same.) There are businesses you visit, and then there are places that become part of your family's story. All The Best falls firmly into the latter category. Since moving to Ballard, our dog was a regular visitor. He'd shamelessly help himself to treats from the bins, tail wagging with pure delight at his "successful" heist-- the cashiers were always so gracious. And on top of that, the store regularly hosts wonderful community events (like the wading pool they set up during farmers market days.) But it was on our dog's final day that the staff last Wednesday morning truly showed us the greatest kindness. We brought him in one last time, and they let him steal treats to his heart's content. Without being asked, they prepared a goodie bag filled with food and treats he might enjoy, and they gave me forget-me-not seeds. In a moment when I was completely broken, they showed such genuine compassion and understanding. Those treats kept Teddy calm and happy in his last moments, and I will never forget the incredible kindness of their gesture. If you're looking for a pet store where your furry family members will be truly welcomed and cherished, where the staff genuinely cares about your pet's happiness, and where you'll be treated like family, this is your place. Thank you to the team for being such beautiful souls. You've made me a customer for life.
