Fast forward to our second visit this weekend: they were still so nice and kind to me, but most importantly my high energy, playful pup. Her cut is perfect, she smells so yummy, and my little girl had an awesome time while she waited to get pampered. While spending money on my fur baby's haircut is not the FIRST thing I want to do with my money, I am happy to take her there because of their hospitality and expertise.

I have had the experience of leaving my dog there for nine hours!!! This is totally unacceptable. The place is a mess. There are too many dogs and not enough space for them to be comfortable.

Compared to other pricing in the city, it seems slightly above average for their services, but felt it was worth it for the ease of scheduling, the usefulness of their online site, responsiveness of staff, and the friendliness.

You can't please everyone all the time and some people who come to us with an attitude and believe that we're going to take that abuse from them. Well let's just say that when you're good at what you do, have a secure client base and are confident as a person and artist? Sorry but you've come to the wrong place if you think you can dump your shit here. Here you will get a highly competent artist who is very professional and courteous to his clientele who respect him.

For the mere price of $30 (less if you buy a pack of passes), your pooch will get a full day of daycare (as long as 7 am-7 pm during the week) including a personal walk at lunch and a REPORT CARD telling you who he played with and how he did during the day, it's so awesome! They also have a webcam, which generally runs, but not always, and they make some nice posts to facebook and instagram, but the report card is my favorite thing. If you are enrolled in daycare, they also offer boarding, and are generally pretty flexible and accommodating, though space is definitely limited. I highly recommend Ruff Life. I know that dog school has like 5 locations and makes a nice instagram feed, but the friendliness and flexibility of the ruff life staff really sets them apart. They always recognize me (and splinter) and dropping off and picking up is so seamless.

I'm embarrassed it took me this long to write this review because Doggie Style Pets is such an…read moreobvious five-star business. I've been making a conscious effort to show love to the local places that make our neighborhood special, and this one absolutely deserves it. I've been bringing my dog Archie here for grooming for nearly four years, and I've never had a bad experience. The groomers do an excellent job, and Archie always comes out looking great, happy, and proud of his fresh haircut. He has a lot of energy and isn't always the easiest customer, but the team is patient, thoughtful, and clearly cares about the animals they work with. When Archie was a puppy, he would get nervous walking past the store. These days, he's largely outgrown that fear and seems to know that his glow-up is worth the trip. I've compared their grooming prices with those of larger chains like PetSmart and found Doggie Style's pricing fair and competitive. What sets them apart is that you're supporting a local Philadelphia business that genuinely takes the time to get to know its customers and pets. Beyond grooming, the store carries a great selection of treats, food, toys, shampoo, and other pet supplies. The staff is knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to answer questions. They also frequently have rescue dogs available for adoption, which is always a highlight and a wonderful resource for anyone looking to add a dog to their family. One thing I'd recommend is booking grooming appointments in advance. Their reputation is well deserved, and appointments can fill up a few weeks out. I've always appreciated that they'll sometimes call when an earlier opening becomes available. We've recommended Doggie Style Pets to countless people over the years. People regularly stop us at the dog park or on neighborhood walks to compliment Archie and ask where he gets groomed. Doggie Style Pets on Spruce is always our recommendation. In a city full of options, it's the rare business that earns your trust year after year. Doggie Style Pets has done exactly that. Thank you for taking such great care of Archie over the years. We're lucky to have you in the neighborhood!

While there your cat was on the counter being groomed and I turned around to let my pup out of his crate in the main room and heard the groomer yell "STOP IT" followed by a loud slamming sound.. I jumped up and turned around and the cat looked terrified.. the groomer nervously started telling me "I've been fighting with this cat all day" along with some other nervous remarks... I'm not sure if he slammed your cat down on the table but to me that's what it sounded and looked like... I would never want to bash a business without fully knowing, so it is up to your own discretion.... Please if you bring your pet there be extra cautious , I for one will never be bringing my pup there again.

I am super grateful to the staff here for taking such good care of my sweet but somewhat anti social dog while I am away, and for always being so communicative about how she is doing and any small issues that arise during her stay. The space is clean, they are strict about capacity, and they do a thorough socialization check prior to allowing dogs to come for boarding or daycare. This past weekend, I had an issue arise where my sitter had to leave town unexpectedly. DoggieVIP absolutely saved the day by allowing my dog to come stay for the weekend on late notice. They answered my panicked texts and calls immediately and took such great care of Fred while I was away. This spot is great about sending photo updates and all reservations can be made via text message, which makes scheduling a breeze. I will continue to use this location and their Riverwalk location anytime I travel. So grateful and can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic service, reasonable price, and our dog looks beautiful…read more We have a very sweet, very floofy mutt named Moxxie, who needs a good trim now and then to keep from looking like a massive hair explosion. Brittany, who groomed her, did a fantastic job - cleaned her up without robbing her of her cuteness. When I picked her up, she was happy, no longer had hair covering her eyes, and had been tidied up all over. She also smelled delicious. Everyone at this place was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves pets. Super glad we found them - we'll 100% be bringing Moxxie back. Oh - and if it matters to you, I believe this is a black-owned business (an extra bonus in my book.)

The cage-free environment makes such a difference; it's clear the owners and members of the staff genuinely love dogs and treat each one like their own. Every visit, our dogs come home looking and smelling fantastic, but what really stands out is how happy and relaxed they are The team is always so friendly, welcoming, and engaged with the dogs-they take the time to greet every pet, make them comfortable, and are so careful and kind throughout the grooming process. It gives me such peace of mind to know my babies are in such loving hands. It's rare to find a place where the care and passion for animals is so evident. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a groomer who goes above and beyond for both pets and their people!

I'm a frequent shopper (I live right around the corner), so I am always stopping in with my pup (Yosha). Every employee I've intersected with in this shop have been nothing but super helpful and have steered me in healthier directions for my pup, money aside. I feel like I'm always learning something new every time I go in there and it's Yoshas favorite store, so, highly recommend. OH. They also have these really great Icelandic treats for your pup- amazing. A little smelly (I avoid carrying those around in my pocket) but jammed with nutrients and my guy loves them. Highly recommend BoneJour. They are also the only place nearby that carries Farmina, so, shop local, everyone!!!
