My dog looks great, he is happy and Laura was very nice. Only 5 mins from my house, too.

LAZY TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! If I could 0 star I would. Paid for wash, brushing, ear cleaning, and tooth cleaning for my little frenchie. Had to waste my time coming back because my dogs ears were never cleaned and still very dirty. Also she was clearly not brushed and who knows if they brushed her teeth. LAZY people and LAZY work and just ridiculous they lie about cleaning a dogs ears when they were never touched. Way better options for $35 in the neighborhood. They actually do the work they tell you at other places! DO NOT COME HERE!!! Pictures are AFTER I came back to have her clean the ears and they still look like this. This place is a JOKE! Left and right ear picture and looks worse in person.

Dog owners are very particular. Some are very very hard to please. Every dog is different and same for the owners. Some dogs are extremely difficult to even run a comb thru them. And dog owners expect you(groomers) to make your dog look like a show dog. And that's impossible! People need to train there dogs FROM PUPPIES to get used to being groomed if they hafta to be groomed their whole life. Don't blame the groomer when you have an unruly spoiled pooch. Just sayin

I find it very annoying when you have a bright light that says OPEN and you close before that. It is 5:20 pm and it says you close at 6!

I find it very annoying when you have a bright light that says OPEN and your hours of operation on the front door and yelp page says closes at 6 pm but you close before that. It says this establishment closes at 6 pm but this is the second time this happens to me and they are CLOSED. I drove up at 5:20 pm to get some dog food but of course I couldn't get any once again.

See all

We came here the first time last month because our cavapoo desperately needed a cut before she went…read morein for her surgery. I was thrilled that Howlistic Grooming had availability and had such stellar reviews. With the large number of dogs in the area, it's a relief knowing we can book here less than a month in advance. They did a great job taking care of our pup, and she was in a happy mood when we picked her up! We've been back again now for a bath and she is in looks fantastic and smells great! Definitely recommend checking them out!

I rarely leave reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Howlistic Grooming…read more This was my dog's second visit, and before leaving him, they specifically asked if he would be receiving the same haircut as last time. I said yes and confidently left, expecting consistency with the previous groom. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. They cut my dog's hair extremely low and completely ignored the previous grooming guidelines. When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying she had "shaved his nails for free," which she said is normally a $10 add-on. I explained that it still didn't address the issue at hand and that it should have either been communicated or charged properly as an add-on if that was the case, because it didn't resolve my concern about the haircut. I was told there was "nothing they could do" and that "for future reference" I should bring a photo. I didn't think a photo was necessary for a repeat appointment when the staff made it seem like they already understood what was expected based on his last service. The manager called the next day, listened to everything that happened, and ultimately only reiterated that they do not offer refunds or discounts. No apology, no empathy, and no accountability for the poor experience. The only response I kept hearing was "for future reference." To make matters worse, my dog's ears were cut so short that he barely even looks like he has ears anymore. The haircut looks nothing like the previous groom, and it's honestly upsetting to look at. Since the appointment, he hasn't even seemed like his usual energetic self. I trusted this salon to care for him properly, and instead I left feeling dismissed and deeply disappointed. A total waste of $80 and a tip. PHOTOS BELOW: As you can see in the attached photos, his beautiful black coat was shaved down entirely too close, leaving his face and ears completely bare.

I know we won't be able to find someone like him anywhere else and that makes me and my husband really sad. A. My dog loved going to John, he never felt stressed after John's haircut. B. Have you seen how clean his shop is? My jaw dropped when I first went there. C. His cuts are so amazing, Toby was getting complements constantly. D. Shampoo that he uses is amazing, smells so good. E. My dog is anxious, but John never had a problem working with him somehow , he usually never sits still for anyone. F. He is a professional groomer and I don't think you will find someone like him at least in Chicago area. I can go on and on. I don't think he needs my review but I just wanted to share for someone lucky who lives in the area and is able to get appointment at Clean Dog.

Not sure what superlatives I can add to what many others have written except to say all of them are…read moretrue. One of the true pleasures of living in a big city it to discover treasures in the most unexpected of places. Who would think that dog grooming would be one such place but I consider CleanDog to be a treasure in Chicago. John brings a rare combination of pride or work and some kind of genius for dog grooming that is ineffable; he just has a feel and an incredible talent for working with dogs. What brought me in the door for our Maltipoo Bailey is that I was looking for someone who would not immediately resort to shears to deal with some matting (admittedly, we had let Bailey go and she was very matted). I know that taking her to our prior groomer would result in her coming home shivering and looking like a short-haired chihuahua. Reading the reviews here led us to CleanDog. In short, John did not disappoint. He is so kind and helpful and went the extra mile (and then another extra mile and then another after that). As others have experienced, we could not believe how wonderful she looked. In fact, it was the best she has ever looked, hands down. John patiently brushed her out, gave her a much needed bath, and then working his own unique magic, brought out the scissors and turned her into a show dog. I can't imagine taking her for grooming anywhere else in Chicago.
