Occasionally forget to trim nails. I would give 5 stars because I really like the groomers, but the only thing that drives me crazy is the trainer in the lobby. While I realize she is trying to run a business, it's terrible to arrive for check in for grooming and being told "don't do this. Stand away from this dog. etc. etc." I want to be understanding, but the last visit it got downright rude. Perhaps there is not enough space? Maybe there is a more conducive location? Not sure, but I do know that our pups are scared enough to come to the groomer and when we arrive we are trying to keep them calm with calm voices because they can sense everything.

Yesterday afternoon my pups were outside playing in the yard. All the while I was tending to my…read morechildren and organizing the house because we had our realtor's photographer coming today to take photos of our home. Well I got so wrapped up in what I was doing I completely forgot about them. They were in the yard for almost an hour! And with all of the snow that's melted our yard is pretty muddy. Well when I opened the door to let them in they were completely covered in mud! ((My husband said they looked like they were impersonating otters )) And of course the first thing they did was throw themselves against a freshly painted wall! Haha I was in full panic mode! It was 3:30pm they were covered head to paws and I had so much left to do. I didn't want to add scrubbing mud out of every rug and wall to the list. So I called every groomer in the area 70% didn't answer the phone and the others were wrapping up, booked for the evening, and or closed. I called Grateful Dog and explained my situation and said I knew it was a complete long shot but thought I'd ask anyway. The girl was so sweet (I didn't catch her name) and even though they were nearing closing time she took both of my super muddy dogs and worked overtime on them! They looked brand new and their fur felt extra soft! She really saved our derrière! Thank you to The Grateful Dog of Rogers Park we are sooo grateful! If you haven't already give them a try! They definitely go above and beyond for their customers. We will definitely be returning!

However, I got this dog sweater from this location and thought maybe my dog would wear it once or twice for pics but never again. (I'm not a huge fan of dogs wearing clothes, but I had to admit a noticeable difference with my short-haired dog not shivering during winter months while wearing two separate coats. So I backed down on making fun of dog coats. My two larger, furrier dogs in prior years never needed manmade coats.) But this sweater is turning into a Linus blanket situation. I tried putting on a "Christmas" dog coat that matched her red Xmas collar (I love festive dog collars!!!), but it was white and getting dirty too quickly. I took it off to handwash it and put the Bark Place pink sweater on my dog solely for one walk, and she's been running away ever since when I try to take it off at night. At one point, she slid under one of the bar stools in my dining room, around the corner, ran into my bedroom and into her crate, flopping down sideways. Even if you don't need anything else in Bark Place, take note of the dog clothes. A bunch of my relatives crochet and knit, so I already knew the dog sweater was solid quality but expected it to wear. It still looks brand new, and my dog is glued to it. When I take it off to bathe her or what I *think* is comfier to sleep at night, she growls and leaps for it. I think a pink sweater and a red bow collar clash, but she couldn't care less about me being the fashion police. I'm tickled by how much she likes THIS particular sweater but has never ever been this into any other dog clothes gift (that I usually return) in four straight years. Don't sleep on the dog sweaters, I guess, unless you're my own dog who will turn over sideways so she CAN sleep in hers.
