Breanne does an amazing job and she is great with my pup. I would definitely recommend this place!

Great place! Came in for the first time for a groom for my shih tzu and they got her done in 2 hours or less which was impressive. They were very attentive on the phone when I called and responded quickly to my inquiry about an appointment. My pup can sometimes be difficult (or so I was told before) but they said she was great. She left the salon with a happy face and a super cute bandanna. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Tina saw me struggling to bring over anxious pup in for a nail trimming. She met me at the door, did the nails so quickly and smoothly, my "little" guy didn't even notice. I am definitely bringing Ollie back for more. read more

We love RubaDub! They are so caring and do a wonderful job. I love the bandanas st the end of the service too! I also appreciate their buzz in door for an added layer of security. Terrific business read more

**TIP** They're quite busy, so leave a voicemail AND a text message just in case! I was able to get an appointment 5 days ahead. My usual groomers are unable to take the demand for their services, which is a shame. HOWEVER, I'm so glad I found this place! Tina was kind and lovely. For my small maltipoo, it was $60 for grooming which includes wash, cut, and nail trim. Brought her in at 9:30 and she was finished by 12! My pup had immense hair/nail growth during the winter and her hair just kept getting knotted/matted so it was impossible to comb her at this point. Hence her newly shaven body! When I went to pick her up, they left the hair on her ears and tail (which is normal grooming styles for maltipoos) but I asked if they could trim those too. Told me to wait 5 minutes and voila! Hair was short and she looked happy! Will definitely come back again. read more

Tina and her team are the only groomers I trust for my two dogs. I've been taking them there for the past 5 years. I know they're safe and in good hands. They always come back perfectly groomed! One of my dogs is incredibly difficult in terms of getting her nails trimmed. It's taken 3 people at the vet to hold down my 15 lb dog, but Tina is always able to get them trimmed without a problem. Plus they come back with adorable bandanas :) read more

An Update!! I ended up taking my sickly baby back to Rub a Dub Dog because it is fairly close to our new home and I did want to give it another try. I must say that they exceeded my expectations. Not only did they give my baby her ever so loved puppy cut to perfection, but ut they also allowed the service to be on the house! I would've never expected that! I really appreciate such a thorough effort towards customer satisfaction. The attention to detail was amazing and my baby seemed happy overall! It not about how you start but how you finish and this was GREAT!! I will be returning!! read more

Rub-A-Dub Dog - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Brought our dog here today for the first time and we are so impressed with the entire experience. They were able to make an appointment for us a day after I reached out to them. Our dog has a lot of nervousness and usually hates going to new places - he ran right in and they made him feel right at home!! He did great! He smells and looks amazing. The pricing is inexpensive. We are so happy we found this neighborhood spot! read more

Just picked up our dog , great staff, very friendly, awesome price and they gave him this cute handkerchief read more

Love Rub-A-Dub! Very professional and friendly groomers and do a great job on my little Rambo! They trim the fur around his face nicely so everyone can see his handsome face. I'll be bringing him back soon for his "summer" look. Thank you Tina for always accommodating my busy schedule. read more

Breanne has been grooming my dogs forever. I have followed her to this location from here previous position because she does such an amazing job. She makes recommendations in a very kind way and I take her up on them because I trust her. She does an incredible mani and pedi on them too! While trimming the nails but also filing. I love this location and business. It is very mom and pop and I know my guys are being treated well with love and respect! Thank you for what you do! :) read more

I took my pup in for his first groom visit. I got the puppy package where only the hair around eyes, paws, and sanitary area is done. I am only giving 3 stars because I am very upset that the groomer cut the hair above my pups eyes too far onto his head, and on top of that, it was unevenly cut. The left side was trimmed all the way down close to the skin, and the right side wasn't. I find this very lazy or not thorough. Whatever you want to call it, you would think that a groomer would notice that she cut only one half of the face. I didn't notice it while checking out. As a new puppy parent, a first groom is exciting and scary. It was my first time leaving him and so when I was there to pick him up, I was just relieved to have him back, therefore didn't notice his cut. He doesn't have the cute teddy bear look anymore. If you can imagine what a person would look like with one eyebrow shaved off, but the puppy version of that, that is how I would describe what my pup looks like. I understand that new puppies may be more difficult to work on than an older dog, however, with extra time on my hands during quarantine, I worked very hard to "train" my pup to prepare him for handling, vibrations and loud sounds. I don't think that my pup was wild or jumpy. The groomer even mentioned how he did great until it came to the blow dryer, which I believe because my pup doesn't like it at home or when wind blows on him when we are walking. Furthermore, since he only received the puppy package because it was his first groom, which is what was recommended, I think that at the very least, a cut around a dog's face should be even and shouldn't have been overlooked. Unfortunately, I do not think we will be returning. read more

A neighbor was walking by and I commented that his dog looked recently groomed and really good. He told me about Rub-A-Dub Dog. I called, made an appointment, explained that our dog was a bit hyper and they said, "bring him in". They did a great job, very friendly and our pooch was happy. Side story, we've been banned by two groomers and found 3 (now) that handle our dog without complaint saying he's a "good boy". Makes you wonder if it's the dog... or the groomers, that set the tone. read more

Excellent groomer- my dog is a rescue with alot of anxiety. The people that work here are so kind to him. I recently moved to the area, and this will be the groomer that I use. They also made Mick look very handsome! Thank you. read more

I wrote my first reivew 4 years ago. Four years later, they are just as good as they were in 2014. The owner is very respectful and friendly. The groomers are well trained and thorough. The owner takes constructive criticism very well. I've taken my Sheltie to other groomers in the area and, by comparison, Rub a Dub charges a bit more than other places. But given the totality of my experiences, I won't take my Sheltie anywhere else. read more

Friendly service, excellent grooming service to our ShihTzu! Sometimes they're able to do same day appointments if you call early enough. They always put a cute bandana or bows on our pup. Street parking. Prices are reasonable. read more

Once again Rub- a- Dub Dog, Tina and staff has come through! Our pup, Edith got skunked on Monday morning. We did our best to de-skunk her, but she still had an odor. I texted Tina Wednesday and she could get her in Friday morning! Our pup smells delightful! Thank you! Thank you! We love Tina and Rub-a-Dub-Dog! read more

I take my 2 Pomeranians here for grooming and Tina is fantastic with them. They always come home super fluffy and smelling really good. Their cuts are always spot on and she has the cutest collection of bows for my little girl and bandanas for my boy. I wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else and highly recommend this business. I can't say enough positive things about this place. read more

This place is AMAZING!! They did SUCH a good job on my Australian Shepherd, Cindy. She went in this afternoon with her long for looking incredibly unkempt fur as she hadn't been groomed in two months. They asked me exactly what I wanted done for her and gave me Cindy back looking brand new!!! I could not be happier with how Cindy came out, she looks PERFECT. They were very communicative especially about when she'll be done -- I hate leaving her places and I know she does too, so that was really appreciated. The owner also gave a discount for a scheduling mixup from a few months ago -- seriously that was so sweet and much appreciated. The abridged version: this place is wonderful and I will only be using Rub a Dub Dog for my grooming services from now on. Definitely bring your pup here!! read more

Happy Puppy and Happy owner. They did such an incredible job with my long coated white German Shepherd! The customer Service was great as well, looking forward to go again! Thumbs up! read more

Rub-A-Dub Dog - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've taken dogs there over the years to get groomed and Peggy (owner/groomer) couldn't be more professional or sweeter to my "furry kids". The dogs are always happy to enter the premises (i can't say that about other places) and happier to see Peggy (even when not being given treats). The dogs always come out looking and smelling great! The first dog I had taken there was a Bull Mastiff (who has since passed) who was a big butterball baby and HATED tubs. Peggy had this "ramp" that he could walk in and out of the tub with (with coaxing). She was ALWAYS so patient and kind to him. I now take my "Great Pyrenees/English Setter Mix" there. And he is also a big, hairy, baby. I started to get him groomed at Petsmart on Touhy in Skokie (less of wait to get an appt.) and I don't know WHAT happened, but...all of sudden he DOES NOT want to enter the grooming salon there at ALL (he pulls and pulls to get out of there). I WON"T be taking him back there ever again. It's quite the opposite when going to see Peggy at Rub-A-Dub. My ONLY complaint is that Peggy is only open on Tuesday and Thursdays, so you have to make an appointment well in advance. Alas...I guess that's par for the course when you're great at what you do and it shows!! read more

My dog used to get ear infections all the time. I linked it to when I brought him in here for bath and grooming. I switched places and he hasn't had one since. read more

I was going on vacation and I have 2 dogs and both really needed their nails cut. I called super last minute and I explained I was going out of town, but it wasn't the end of the world if they couldn't squeeze us in. They said it was no problem so I headed straight over with my pups. They used the nail grinder (I think it's called dremel? Something like that) and both of my dogs' nails looked awesome! I greatly appreciate their accommodation for me and the awesome service! Will definitely go back! read more

My dog seemed scared when I picked her up, her coat looked ratty, hair cut was ugly and the woman had a terrible attitude! No thank you! read more

I've been taking my American Staffordshire Terrier here for a few months for grooming. The staff is very friendly and great with the animals. They just moved to a bigger location which is great because it was pretty cramped at the old place. They are always able to accommodate me and respond very quickly to texts which is very helpful for me. Would highly recommend to any dog owners! read more

I have been bringing my Cavachon to Tina for years, we go every month and my dog loves going there ! Tina is the best, she loves dogs so much, and is very professional. My dog smells so clean and fresh when I pick her up. She is the only groomer I will ever go to! If I could give her 10 stars I would!! read more

I've been here just three times because I'm a new dog owner. Each time I have them cut his nails, which they do quite well with my squirmy dog. I like the tub set-up and selection of shampoos, conditioners, ear cleaner, brushes, etc. The tub set-up is great. They have steps and a platform at the top, leading to the tub. Since my dog won't hop in a tub, at least he was at a good height for me to lift him in. The staff there are really nice. I had a coupon which had expired a month ago, and they still honored it. For this reason and just because they are great there, I left a good tip. Two thumbs up. Go there for your doggie grooming and washing needs. read more

The staff at Rub-A-Dub Dog is very friendly and have always been great when handling our dog. Now that they are in their new location, they have more space to work with the dogs. Their prices are comparable to the big chain pet store groomers but I like the fact that the location is close by and that I'm helping a small business! read more

A friend recommended this place for my two, large, Bernese Mountain Dogs. Tina, the owner, is really good with dogs and knows how to treat mine. It's almost impossible to bathe them at home because they are so squirrely. She gets them clean (cleaner than I can ever get them), has an amazing treatment that reduces the amount of shedding and even puts free bows in their hair. Best part - she gets them in on short notice because once I decide that they NEED a bath I don't like to wait. So much better to deal with than other groomers. Been coming here for over a year and always satisfied. Recently, she helped us with some personal dog training which she does in the evenings. We had some behavior problems and, amazingly, she "speaks dog". Once she got the dogs in-line she trained us to let us know what we were "telling" the dogs with our actions and how we can communicate more clearly to our pets. Remarkable! read more

Took my Yorkie here for a puppy cut today, was able to quickly make an appointment for the same day and had fantastic service! Will definitely be back! Thanks! read more

I didn't feel comfortable leaving my dogs in this loud, chaotic environment. Their haircuts turned out goofy looking and uneven all over. Their nails were left very sharp and scratchy after the "trim." I would not recommend this groomer in comparison to others that charge the same and do a much better job. read more

I checked yelp for dog groomers near my home, I read the reviews on several, and Rub a dub dub caught my attention with the great reviews. I called on a Saturday morning, and luckily they had an appointment available. I took my two shihtzu dogs Lulu and Libby for grooming. I liked the layout of the place because everything was in plain view and the dogs were visible, in that the dog cages were in the front of the shop. My dogs were a little shy and scared, but Tina made them feel comfortable. When I picked up the dogs, I was amazed as to how great they looked and they smelled nice too! They did a fabulous job! The dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and that made me happy. I will definitely be back! I highly recommend Rub a dub dub. read more
