For those of you that consider your dog part of the family please read this I have never in my life…read morewritten a bad review but this one I have to do, hear me out and you be the judge. I have left my dog here many times, on the surface they have always appeared to be nice and taken care of my dog. This is an establishment that likes to know when you're going to drop off and when you're going to pick up, I completely understand that and respect it, so when I came to the kennel to pick my dog up at 3:30, because when asked I specifically said 3:30 because that's the soonest I could be there after work. There was no mention of another time. I arrived promptly at 3:30 only to find the kennel closed, so I knocked and knocked and knocked and shouted "hello is anybody there I'm here to pick up my dog" the place was dark and said closed. I was concerned and did not know what to do. The owners house is just up the hill, I decided to go and knock on the door. When she answered she said, in a very angry voice, "what are you doing here, how dare you come to my personal residence" I apologized and said I'm here to pick up my dog she said "we are closed" and I said "I told you I would be here at 3:30" she said "no you did not" I said "yes I did that's when I get off work" she said "we're closed, I told you to come at 4:10" and I said "I'm sorry you didn't, I wouldn't have come if you said any other time" she said "you better stop talking now just give me a minute I will meet you down at the kennel" so I walked down to the kennel and when she came walking up I apologized again and she said "don't talk to me, I am entitled to a break you shouldn't be here" I agreed and apologized again literally with tears in my eyes I tried to tell her again that no other time was told to me, she said "you better just stop talking right now". Before I left I said "listen I'm sorry, there was obviously some miscommunication and I'm sorry to interrupt you" she said "I don't think you are"!! I am here to tell you I am not a liar and I absolutely do not take advantage of people. She did not even want to try to work this out or accept the chance there was any miscommunication. She may have had a really bad day or a bad week but a person that talks to you like that I think she just might miss handle the animals as well. She lost a repeat customer and all recommendations. I went home and checked the time, I keep very good notes, It said drop off at 4:30 and pick up at 3:30!! There was no miscommunication on my part.

After years of struggling to find ANYONE who could trim our dog's nails, we finally found our…read moreplace. Chelsie at Salty Dog has changed my life and has changed the life of my almost 15 year old German Shepherd/Husky. Our dog Fox has a lot of fear surrounding his nails being trimmed.. because of this it's been hard to find anyone who has been able to do it. Sometimes we would get lucky and we'd find a person who could do them, but we'd return a month later and no luck. He yelps, he trembles, he cries.. it has been devastating. We had resorted to paying to put him under sedation to have them trimmed. I'm ashamed to admit that the last time we had this done (2 years ago) he didn't see the same afterward. I was worried that he would pass away before ever finding a solution.. until we met Chelsie. He was scared, he trembled, he tried to bite. But she got in there and she cut every single nail. I was literally speechless with tears rolling down my cheeks. Still I didn't believe it would happen again. I thought it must have been luck or the right moment of the right day. But to my shock and delight, she has cut his nails every month since we met her almost a year ago. He is a different dog. She has helped to reshape the nail that was the worst and most painful for him. He feels pampered when we go. He even looks excited when I put him in the car. I can't even believe I'm writing this. Basically if you're thinking of going anywhere else--rethink it!! This is your place. Chelsie has a way with animals. She understands that their happiness depends on her quick and expert skills. She is confident, kind and efficient. She sees what each animal needs and so she is able to execute those skills while also keeping them content. They know they are safe with her. I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you Chelsie and Salty Dog. You have changed our lives.. I don't know how much time we have left with our sweet boy but it brings me so much peace of mind to see him comfortable and cared for. forever grateful.

So sad. This has been our go to place for self wash. Just walked out without giving my dog a…read morebath. The entire place was beyond filthy. The floor of entire shop full of hair and filth. Both tubs were full of hair and so dirty. Hadn't been cleaned from prior dogs. We were told to use either tub. No clean towels, products or anything. I feel bad it seems that there has only been this one employee the past few times I've been there but I'm not paying to use a dirty tub that I have to scrape some other dog's hair out of just to use. It's been going downhill dramatically but today was the worst. Bummer.

A Pet Lover's Dream on Bainbridge…read more I absolutely LOVE supporting local businesses and while exploring Bainbridge Island today I came across, Z Bones Pet Mercantile, and it's exactly the kind of locally owned pet shop you hope to find! Similar to the Seattle Mudbay, The store is absolutely adorable and packed with everything a pet parent could want. They have leashes, collars, toys, high-quality pet food, and a great selection of fresh and locally sourced options. You can immediately tell this place is thoughtfully curated rather than just stocked with generic big-box items. The highlight for me was finding a leash for my corgi that I've been hunting for online for months that had been discontinued everywhere else. Somehow they had it, and it felt like striking gold. Shops like this are why I always try to explore local businesses when visiting a new place. This place clearly cares about the quality of the products they carry and the experience they create for pet owners. If you're on Bainbridge Island and have a furry companion at home, this place is absolutely worth a stop.

They go out of their way to make sure that they work within your schedule they give you a reminder to confirm your appointment they send you a text message before they arrive I've had several different groomers in each of them has taken such good care of my little one and he always comes out looking wonderful smells great and he is so happy. I find their prices to be really excellent the groomers are extremely respectful and the whole process from start to finish is top notch I highly recommend them to anybody.

I was told they now cannot accept my mobile appointment after 3pm and they do not do mobile appointments on the weekends. I was told to take my pups to the silverdale shop....which I almost did...but my dogs need quiet spaces and less anxiety. That's why I booked this service the first few times, and I personally dont feel canceling twice in a row (2 solid months in a row) is acceptable. I can get out of work early, but the earliest I could have the dogs ready was by 3pm.... or ANYtime on Friday's, which is when my appointments were scheduled. Basically they have mobile grooming available until 3pm Monday - Friday. Plan on going to the salon, or have back up plans in case they cancel. Waste of time and waiting for something that never happened. Find another service or "get the in" somewhere else. I truely wish I had not waited and continued to attempt to use this service after the first cancelation. Unhelpful service that I would no longer call "mobile grooming".
