This is disturbing and I am including graphic pictures for those who are sensitive but I need to…read morebecause my husband and I are in disbelief, anguished over this... I wanted to share this because I know as a loving fur parent you would want to know. ALERT for all pet parents- Do not use Pleasantville Pet Inc. grooming services. On 6/28 we had our 3 dogs visit and the worst pet parent nightmare occurred. The groomers do not know what they are doing! My male Havanese's ears were shaven down so low that he suffered clipper burns and needed vet attention. His cut was shameful and not to his breed. My Maltese-bischon and female pure-bred Havanese was also given a hacked cut- not to breed standards. They charged us top dollar and we paid 300$ including a tip. This story gets worse as to what happened to my sweet sweet female pure-bred Havanese! They sliced her tail down to the bone and she needed TAIL AMPUTATION surgery today. Essentially she has lost two inches off her tail! She suffered unnecessarily that day because the owner and the female groomer (Wilson and Rosa) dismissed it as simply small "accident" a "nick" when they were trimming her tail. What is so disheartening and disgraceful is that they were not forthcoming or HONEST about sharing what was truly done. The way we discovered it was that my dog immediately came running to me from the back room with BLOOD streaking down her back. The owner looks up from his cell and say matter of factly-dismissing it with his hand, 'oh ...that's just a nick from when the were trimming her tail". Cruel and dismissive! I asked the woman for more details and I could not get a straight answer! In fact, the woman never admitted to what she really had done at that moment, never informing me knowing the gravity of the injury (Again-we had just spoken on the phone prior to arriving to store) and they NEVER offered to take her to ER Vet or anything. THEY PLACED TWO BAND-AIDS on her tail!! My husband and I feel like fools for taking what they said at face value. WE PAID and just left wanting to take our dogs out of there. When we took our sweet fur baby to the vet, to their astonishment and disdain it was revealed she was SLICED DOWN TO THE BONE. We did go back and confronted the woman groomer. The owner didn't even offer to speak to me nor did offer a full refund at that time. The woman groomer did admit using a "blade". I told her that since she had the knowledge of what she had used she must have known, she should have told me immediately and taken my dog to the vet or informed me so that I would have. Such negligence and incompetence...this is not best practice and if she would have reported this my dog would at least have had a better chance at healing. These two weeks my Havanese was running a fever and has had two different antibiotics as they had to start aggressively treating the infection she required frequent check-ups, every 2-3 days to see how she was healing and to change her dressing. On top of this pain meds were needed. My dog is so sweet she does not whimper or complain, she just sat there by my feet looking sad. She is an innocent! My poor baby suffered in pain for that day unnecessarily, because unbeknown to us of what was really done to her. This establishment is not operating accordingly to law and is not reputable. They claim they do not have insurance (violation of law that passed in 2015 regulating grooming businesses to safeguard for these reasons because animals are being disfigured and killed). The Westchester department of Health states they have a license, however the groomers need to be certified, trained (none on display); They should be taking documentation of vaccinations (did not even ask although I did produce copies) they needed to have taken my dog to the vet immediately (They did not act or suggest option) and they should have submitted a report of the injury -they have not...All this leads to this conclusion they are not reputable and sorry to say may be in it only for the $$$. They did not give us a refund of our money. Many in Pleasantville and neighboring areas use them and I want to share the terrible experience because of the tragic circumstance my poor dog has had to experience TAIL AMPUTATION. Please share! SO FUR PARENTS BEWARE.

I can't believe it's taken me almost 8 years to write this review. I don't know why, especially as…read moreI've been singing WYP's praises loud and proud to all who own a dog (and sometimes to those who don't) for all that time. There is so much I love about WYP. For starters, it's a small, woman owned business. And the woman who owns it is just fantastic. Christina runs a warm, friendly, caring, welcoming, and nurturing daycare for dogs that I swear rivals the best of human nursery schools. The same staff has worked there for years which is always the best sign of a well-run organization. I've watched with pride as she expanded the business over the years and has maintained the same exceptional quality of care and grooming. Special appreciation for Lacey, a stellar groomer and Pippi's other mother, Ali and John who always make our experience more personal. Frankly, if you don't have a dog, you should get one just so you can also go to WYP.

Jess at Best Friends Pet Grooming Salon is nothing short of MAGIC. I don't use that word lightly --…read morewhat she did for my Frenchie, Louie, honestly blew me away. Nail trims have always been a huge issue for us, especially at the vet. They would leave his nails too long, and over time the quick kept growing out, turning his nails into literal bear claws. It got to the point where I didn't think we'd ever get them back to a normal, healthy length. I originally found Jess for my labradoodle Mabel and just happen to ask her about my Louie's nails . Not only did she trim his nails as short as safely possible, she did it with incredible gentleness and patience. Louie was calm, comfortable, and completely at ease -- which NEVER happens. But what truly sets Jess apart is her knowledge and care. She's actively working on helping the vein recede over time so his nails can return to a normal length instead of those "eagle talons." Who even does that?! That level of attention, skill, and dedication is so rare. Jess doesn't just groom -- she genuinely cares about your dog's long-term health and comfort. I'm beyond grateful we found her. If you have a dog with difficult nails or any grooming challenges, Jess is the one. Truly one of a kind.

Nancy is a wonderful groomer who understands the needs of her clients and is so loving and gentle with the dogs. The salon is adorable, very clean and cozy (especially at the new location in Shrub Oak!). I would highly recommend Nancy and the Pink Dogue Pet Salon. She truly cares about the dogs. Not only that, but Nancy does a great job of cleaning and styling the dogs. Dolce is a tough dog because she skwerms a lot and has some sensitive areas, but Nancy is wonderful about calming her to make sure she is clean and gives her a nice haircut every time. If you are looking for a great groomer that you can trust with your dogs and will treat them just as you would, than this is the best place in my opinion. Thanks Nancy and The Pink Dogue Pet Salon! P.S. I have heard horror stories of groomers in unsanitary conditions where dogs become sick and are not treated well. Please pay the extra $20 or $30 for an experienced groomer with a clean and nurturing environment and it will be well worth it.

I didn't read reviews about this place before bringing my dog here.... As I continue to read them…read morenow, I see a lot of mix reviews about this place. I took my dog (a 64-pound nonaggressive, submissive pit bull mix) for half a day daycare, when I picked him up, I was notified that he was injured from another dog who had nicked his ear... I was upset that i was not notified of the incident when it had happened. My dog had blood dripping down his ear, onto his coat.. onto my car.. and every time he shook his head it would splatter elsewhere. I was on facetime with my fiancée and we were both surprised because we expected this to be such a fun experience for our dog! he seemed under stress and rushed to get into my car on the way out literally pulling me to leave. I tried to call for the manager and didn't get a call back. I ended up emailing the manager that same evening and got a response back reporting she had been in the ER with a family member the day before and couldn't reach out to me beforehand (totally understandable so i didn't get upset about the delayed response). What I did not like, was the way she downplayed the incident and the fact that I wanted to be notified when my dog is injured in her email to me... she reported she doesn't know me well enough to know I would want to get notified but as any dog parent knows, it's the principle to know- whether its big or small- and who wouldn't want to get notified when their dog is injured. Especially as my dog was actively gushing blood from his ear. It might've not been a big wound, but it was still bleeding a lot. I took my dog to the vet, and he was put on antibiotics. The manager of this location was able to reach out to the other dog's owner to pay for my vet visit, but it was submitted to the account for future visits.. and I no longer feel comfortable leaving my dog at this place. This might work out for others but unfortunately didn't for me!

Update: Read the owner's response but doesn't really address what I wrote. It was kind of them to…read moreaccommodate us -- several other places did too, especially since you can't really schedule a skunk bath that far in advance, skunk's don't make appointments. Her comment is also defensive and inaccurate--I called them around 5 pm. She just didn't get back to us until 9:45 pm. Answering service was told 15-20 min late but didn't say that wasn't ok, I ALSO texted her as a courtesy and she said something different. Had we never texted her IN ADDITION to calling, we would've driven the 45 min to get there and then told we were too late. So much for running an "efficient" business and being "honored" by people who choose them. The Wall Street background lack of people skills is definitely not for every potential customer. Just warning those who, like me, prefer warm and informative communication especially during a moment of distress with my dog. Google reviews also show a pattern of bad, ineffective, and dangerous communication (where dogs were injured). I guess she just doesn't care. Dodged a bullet! Yikes! The owner was SUPER defensive from the jump before we even brought our dog in. That tells me the business has been criticized a lot and she's very tense about it. Not the kind of atmosphere you want for your dog. Hostile and dangerous. The people who work there probably save the place's rep but they'll come and go and it's too risky--go somewhere kinder and actually professional.

Hubby and I found this place last year while I was still preggers. We were able to bring both our…read moredogs and wash them ourselves. Although it was convenient, it definitely was not easy (my dogs are cray) and I'd rather just pay someone to clean my dogs for me. They do have everything you need, though. The tubs are high and they give you instruction on how to use the soap and water and blowers. They provide you with aprons and as many towels as you need but again, we have Shibas and when they're shedding, it can be horrendous. Which brings me to about a month ago when I was searching for a groomer that could really make a dent in their shedding issues. Shibas don't really shed badly throughout the year but when spring and winter come, they have what can only be described as fursplosions, where they shed their undercoats and the fur comes off of them in tufts. It's crazy. Their butts look like shapely little Corgy butts, the Kardashians of the dog world. I requested a quote through the Yelp app and Dana got back to me super fast. I ended up making appointments for the next day. They offer the Furminator treatment for an extra $10 and it's worth every penny. We've gotten our dogs back from other groomers and you can still see tons and tons of fur coming off but this is probably the first and only time we've gotten our dogs back home and after petting them a few hundred times, not one hair fell to the ground. They got ALL the shed fur, ya'll! That like, NEVER happens! The cost is reasonable, about $45 per dog which is a little bit more that what we've paid elsewhere but I don't mind paying if they're getting out every single shed fur that exists. We don't have to bring them often so I am definitely going to use them again.

Understandable if you're not able to take on more customers or taking a break at any point, but communication would be appreciated. Even just out it in the voicemail outgoing message...? It's left me wondering if they are even still in business and/or taking regular customers? On one hand the grooming itself is great and you can tell they love dogs.
