Finn (Miniature Schnauzer)
Richard D.

Sam styled my mini schnauzer so good. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Definitely will keep my pooch here for all his grooming needs.

Wow! Cannot say enough good things about this place. My sweet border collie is VERY anxious about grooming- which has made finding a good groomer in Dallas (that doesn't charge a gazillion dollars) extremely difficult. After finally getting sick of the hair, I took a chance on pooch patio, and I am SO glad I did! The second we walked in, my Sadie was loved on and cared for. They took the time to make her feel comfortable and they did an amazing job on her grooming. Affordable prices too. We will be back!

Charlie Pride gives Pooch Patio one tongue but FIVE stars! Take your pooch to the patio!

We could not be happier with the service, care and attention given to these boys. April and staff were attentive and super focused on these furry customers. I highly recommend the Pooch Patio. Charlie Pride gives it a one tongue and FIVE star review. Chew Chew says he's definitely a life long customer now too!!! Awesome place! Get your two feet and four paws down there!!!

After grooming
Laura H.

This review has been a long time coming, but Pooch Patio deserves to be recognized for their outstanding service. I have two collies and they absolutely love going here for daycare and the occasional boarding. The staff is excellent. In particular, Sarah, runs a well oiled machine. She is beyond fantastic at managing this facility - She knows each dog by their name, and is on her walkie talkie letting the rest of the staff know that my dogs have arrived before I even set foot in the door. I have had the pleasure of also speaking with many of the other staff members (I don't yet know everyone by name, sorry!), but Totty/Amber are also wonderful. I love that I feel like my dogs are not just a number here, but instead, well-known and cared for. I truly trust that my dogs will be taken care of when I drop them off in the mornings. In terms of grooming, they haven't had better grooming than the ones they receive at Pooch Patio. We have taken them to other places in the past when in a bind or out of town. No one has yet to match the services provided here. They typically receive basic baths, but when we adopted our most recent dog, he was dirty, bad odor, had large mats throughout his hair, and very rough hair. He was only 9-months at this time. They spent several hours grooming him, and we were so pleased with how he looked (and smelled) after they were done! I know that it must have been extremely difficult given he had never been groomed or received a bath before because his previous owners kept him outside. I also love that they have web cams and I can watch my dogs at daycare. They always have someone inside the pens which I really appreciate, so they can stop any potential fights. Although, I've never even seen anything like that happen. My dogs are usually the ones barking uncontrollably (it's in their nature as Collies), but the staff is really good at calming them down and putting them in timeout when they need a break. Don't hesitate to use Pooch Patio for your daycare/boarding/grooming needs. You won't regret it!

Pooch Patio is amazing. All the staff is great and so friendly. I take my morkie (Sasha) here to get groomed and for doggy day care and she always come back so cute, cuddly and drained. Thank you pooch patio for taking care of Sasha. We will definitely be back!

Samantha C.

I love this place so much! while shopping around for groomers I was nervous because some establishments have really bad reviews and I am super concerned about the safety of my dog when I choose a groomer. we have been here twice now, and each time I am completely satisfied with my experience!!! they do a great job cutting his hair and every time I pick him up he is happy and excited so I know he's been treated well! I definitely trust this place with my dog

After haircut
Jessica G.

My puppy had her first grooming here today and it was a great experience! The facility was very clean and the staff was friendly. I dropped her off at 7AM and she was finished by 9. I'm very happy with her haircut and will definitely be bringing her back!

Pro-tip: if you leave overnight, make sure to splurge for the bath, nothing like getting your dog back all clean!!

We recently planned a trip out of town, and unfortunately couldn't bring our dog Chloe. We've had her 3 years and adopted her from a shelter. She has never been left alone at any dog boarding place since we have had her. She had not yet even experience open play/free play. With only a couple of weeks left to plan our trip, I stumbled on Pooch Patio via Yelp. We dropped her off on a Saturday for a few hours. Then again once more during the mid week. Then finally after those 2 good experiences, we left her from Saturday until Wednesday. Although she didn't interact with the other dogs as much as we would have liked, she still enjoyed it. Each time we picked her up, she was excited, and even seemed happier for the next few days after. My favorite aspect is being able to watch via Nest camera live stream to always feel as if you are there. We have no complaints, and can't wait to bring her back again soon. The staff are super fast at cleaning up any mess. Pro-tip: if you leave overnight, make sure to splurge for the bath, nothing like getting your dog back all clean!!

KNOCKED OUT!
Sarah C.

Found the Pooch patio on yelp. There are so many good things about this place. 1. They're open until 8pm! 8PM!!! Do you know how many dog free activities I can accomplish with that kind of time?! A lot. That also means like a solid 10 hours of play time for my dog. I have an 11 month old Aussie corgi that has way too much energy. Any time I've taken her to another day camp, she comes home and will easily play for hours still amped. 1 day at pooch patio and she's out for 2 days. The staff is super friendly, they have pretty decent cameras, and they have a corgi day! Only downside is it's a little bit out of the way for me. Totally worth it though.

I've used Paw Lofts for boarding and trusted them with my dog Maisie, but after this most recent…read morestay I'm really disappointed. While I can only assume my dog enjoys daycare and boarding, as the facility has no cameras, I have trusted Paw Lofts and recommended to friends many times. Every time I drop her she seems happy. Unfortunately, Maisie was boarded there last week and also received a bath and nail trim on Thursday. Once I got her home I noticed that one of her nails had been cut all the way to the quick -- her paw was actually bloody and there was dried blood matted onto the fur. Then on Saturday while she was playing at home, she bumped that same nail and it started GUSHING blood again. I had to rush to stop it with quick stop powder. This has never happened to her before. She obviously is a dog and doesn't love nail trims, but I have a hard time believing she was acting so out of control that this was unavoidable, she's pretty sweet and I grind her nails myself at home -- When I called to express my dissatisfaction, I was told they don't even use clippers, but a Dremel, which is specifically supposed to prevent this type of injury. That means they must have been grinding her nails aggressively for it to get this bad... I hate that she was clearly in pain and nobody told me or acknowledged it at pickup -- I only discovered it once we were home. I'm including a photo of her sad face that evening when we were having to hold a bandage over her bleeding toe. I have trusted this facility in the past, but transparency and gentle handling are non-negotiable when it comes to grooming. This shouldn't have happened and in the off chance it does I would have appreciated notification, an apology, and probably even a comped nail trim. I hope this is taken seriously so no other pet has to go through this.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive to my puppy, who thoroughly enjoys her time with the staff and the other dogs! They even celebrate birthdays! I really appreciate that they have the dogs on a regimented schedule instead of confined to one playroom room all day. The dogs have personal time, indoor play, and outdoor play time (each with similar sized dogs). For personal time, each dog has a roomy open-air suite with food/water bowls, a bed, and toys (if you opt to pack them in their daycare bag). For flat-faced breeds like mine, they provide slanted bowls. Although there aren't livestream cameras, the team posts photo dumps to the Facebook group every afternoon (see examples)! Also worth noting, the team is quick to flag any upcoming vaccination needs or behavior changes. They keep a very close eye on the dogs. Lastly, the hours they offer are unmatched. Drop-off opens at 7:30am and pick-up closes at 7:45pm. In summary - The attention to detail that the staff has is exemplary, and their patience and love for dogs fosters a tail-wag inducing environment!

Turns out it was just a miscommunication & I had shown up to the CityVet clinic instead of the Ruffit location across the street. The Uptown location has the 2 entities attached within the same building & I had mistakenly assumed that it would be the same here. Mila is looking forward to her appointment on Monday! Special thanks to Steve & Nicole H. for getting in touch so quickly and ensuring we are taken care of! ** I brought my Frenchie here 2 months ago, and then again today both times for the Bath Works. Our Vet is at the Uptown location & we usually get her groomed over there as well, but they tend to be booked well in advance. This location fit us in same day the first visit, and next day the 2nd (today). I was advised that drop off for grooming is between 7-11am. We arrived at 10 and I called because I assumed they were going to come out and get her like they did last time (COVID measures), but the associate said "no, come on in just wear a mask." So we started walking in the front door and the receptionist turned us around and said to wait outside at the other end of the building...and said she'd check us in. Well, we were standing in the parking lot waiting for someone to get her for 45 minutes, meanwhile 3 other dogs arrived and each got to go right in! I've never had to wait longer than 3-5 minutes when dropping off before, and I HAD an appointment for myself elsewhere scheduled at 11, which I had to cancel at the last minute. At 10:50 I decided to take it as a sign, and we left. Which is unfortunate because now I'm not sure whether to try bringing her back to this Oaklawn location. It's just one of those experiences that puts a bad taste in your mouth

The nice employee let us know the special price $25 (Could be different for every dog since I had 2 little ones) to have a trial day care for the first visit which was cool! They have discounts for boarding & day care if you have multiple dogs too. The employee explained in detail how the entire day schedule would be for the pets that are boarded / day care and it was really cool and nice to hear of all the details and effort they put into each pet they board and day care. All the suites have noise canceling walls which is great so each pet can get some quite time to nap and sleep in case there are noisy neighbors. For my small two doggos I was told it would be around $40 per dog for daycare if I put them together after the first trial of $25 per dog which i think is pretty reasonable especially for the quality of care and nice facility. They have multiple areas of play indoors and outdoors and a sofa room for pets who are more nervous and need extra care. I highly recommend to do a tour of the place and check them out if you ever need any day care or boarding services!

Their prices are a bit lower than others and I LOVE that they offer Dremel nail service, which is perfect for dogs with long quicks. That confirmed my decision to try this place. It has been a challenge finding anyone who can trim one of my pug's long quicks without hurting him, so I was excited. I dropped the pugs off at 1pm and they were ready around 4:45pm on a Friday (they recently changed grooming services to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). The pugs were happy upon pickup and continued throughout the evening as well as smelled pleasant. Their nails looked amazing, and no bleeding occurred. The groomer even showed me her Dremel tool and the safety feature on it to protect dogs' nails. It is always a concerning risk to try a new groomer for various reasons, and I'm so glad I chose Pierre's. I also like that I only needed to show updated rabies vaccinations and not additional shots like many places require simply for grooming. The owner Jobbi managed the phones from the first time I called about pricing and services to scheduling to picking up the pugs. He is extremely friendly and conversational; I never felt rushed. Pierre's is in a cute little house right on Lovers Lane with easy access. I highly recommend them for grooming!

Typically he's fine otherwise. Keep in mind this is a dog that was trained extremely well and is actually pretty submissive. I got no calls from Abbie's and he would come back reeking of pee and looking very skinny due to probably not eating, along with several nicks and cuts from other dogs playing too rough and no one stopping it. And yet, each time I was told he was fine and had a great time. But the nail in the coffin for me was when I picked him up and he had a whole chunk of his lip missing and a lot of blood coming from it. I had to immediately take him to the vet to get medication to help with keeping the lip from getting infected. And of course, they wouldn't take responsibility for letting it get this far without intervening and wouldn't help with vet bills. His lip has a large part that won't ever go back to the way it was. I've attached pictures and circled where the damage was and visible scar vs. The other side of his lip and what it normally looks like. I tried one more time after and specifically asked to not let him play with other dogs in case he was the aggressor. And he came back with more nicks and cuts and smelling like pee and skinny. I recently tried a new spot for boarding, though they are a little more expensive, he came back not skinny, not smelling like anything but like he had been outside, and no visible damage to his body. I would not recommend this place at all. We went here on a recommendation from my fiancee's sister, but her dog also came away with kennel cough (from their other location) and had to get meds to help with it.
