This place is BUSY, but AMAZING! I took my guy, Theo there the first time, came out looking great! Couldn't get in for the second grooming cuz they were booked out so far, so I had to try somewhere else. His next grooming Bubbles and Bows fixed the hack job from the other unmentionable place, and he looked SO GOOD!! I will ALWAYS come back to Bubbles and Bows!!! Even if I have to wait!! The ladies there are fabulous!! They are so great at what they do, they're super nice, good with the dogs, and Theo comes out looking fantastic!!! Just make sure you book your next appointment before you leave! read more

Bubbles & Bows Pet Grooming - Got my guy lookin all handsome! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I've been taking my dog here to get groomed for a few years. They do a really good job and I feel safe leaving my baby with them. It's a little pricey, but over all worth it for their time and attention to my pup. read more

Liz is amazing with my energetic & wiggly pup! He gets so excited as soon as we turn into the parking lot! Always leaves looking great!

I have 3 Aussies I bring in to be groomed. They give them the best care and attention. My dogs are very vocal and needy to be honest and the ladies are always so kind to them. read more

This review is long overdue. We got our rescue dog in 2020. She had been at a puppy mill all her life and was generally really nervous with strangers. When we reached out to Donna and team it was a bit of a wait to get her in but totally worth it. They took all our notes about her background into consideration and were super patient with her. It got to a point where she enjoyed going to get groomed. In addition to just doing a great job and working well with our fur baby the team made booking regular appointments super easy and held our regular a lot every six weeks or so and would have her next appointment booked when we came to pick her up. We recently relocated out of state and I was very nervous about finding a new groomer. Donna and team once again went above and beyond and provided guidance in a typed letter about how to groom Evie and her personality. It was incredibly helpful to the new groomer. They also sent us off with a lovely card. We REALLY miss Bubbles and Bows and if you have a chance to take your pooch here definitely go. Excellent grooming and customer service wonderful staff. read more

Chaotic environment, a little hard to communicate with the staff. We were first timers, and weren't very happy with the cut. Groomer did not pay close attention to the face and tail area which is very important for our breed. Possibly would go back, not sure yet. read more

I came in today 7/24/2020 around 12:45. Customer service was good in the beginning. I pick up my dog at 2:45 and was happy about his hair cut and groom except for the fact that they didn't specifically tell me nor showed how they cut both of his nails too short to the point where they were bleeding!!! I have previously mentioned before AND after that he has anxiety with cutting nails! Sadly, I didn't realize until I went home. I've been to many groomers and this has NEVER happened. 2 nails, both front paws. 1 much more severe than the other. There was no discount/reduced price and all they said was that the nails were the hardest to do. Nothing about blood, pain, or accident when I paid. Extremely disappointed and feared that this would happen when taking my puppy to a PROFESSIONAL. Their online mission statement includes "Caring and careful grooming for your pet". Extremely hypocritical. I definitely do NOT recommend unless you want your dog to come out either injured or with increased anxiety! I have worked at a customer service job and the way they hid the fact that this had happened was not morally right nor professional. read more

Wow!!! Jess is the best groomer I swear, very professional, kind, very caring towards my dog, and has the best quality cuts I've ever gotten. Every other groomer has always made my golden look choppy or uneven, but Jess makes my son look amazing best groomer this shop has read more

I have an old long-hair cat that is no longer interested in cleaning his own fur. The folks at Bubbles & Bows took care of him in no time flat! In 20 minutes they had him completely combed out and all the mats were gone. He was handsome again! read more

I took my "spicy" tortie in for her yearly lion shave. They do a fantastic job at handling the spunk and sass she has! I started coming here last year and wont go anywhere else! read more

We started bringing our doggo in to Bubbles & Bows for bathing as he doesn't really like 'home baths'. We also appreciate being able to add on nail trims, ear cleaning (which he doesn't much like either), and getting his 'glands' taken care of. He has passed his vets approval with flying colors. The folks at Bubbles & Bows enjoy their work, and it shows the 'clientele' is happy and looks forward to coming in for the services they offer. read more

I was searching for a groomer for my Persian and reached out to Bubbles and Bows. A woman called me back last week, we talked about what I wanted and set an appointment for the following Saturday morning. I checked the website before I left my house in Olympia, and it said they didn't open until 9am. I called and left a message because my appointment was at 8:30, and I wanted to make sure they were open. I was almost there and I got a call from a woman who said I didn't have an appointment and they wouldn't take my cat. She said she asked everyone and nobody recalled speaking to me. Clearly the woman who called and spoke with me a week prior didn't put my appointment in the books, and wouldn't admit her mistake. I was told they don't take cats on Saturday when I spoke to someone this morning, but when I was called last week I told the woman I could ONLY come Saturday and she said that was fine. Today I was offered to reschedule on Wednesday, again, I am only available on the weekends and like I would book an appointment with a company that clearly doesn't write them down and wastes potential clients time. Super flaky company- find someone that won't waste your time! read more

Bubbles & Bows Pet Grooming - Proof I was called last Saturday. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I have brought my golden here three to four times now. I haven't always brought my 7.5 year old guy to a groomers. So from our first to our more recent visit today - I have learned so much about how to ask for the groom/cut I want for him. They have been so flexible and patient and kind to my sensitive guy(I'm obviously projecting here). I shared his last cut wasn't exactly what i wanted. They in turn- asked more clarifying questions, and elicited from me the cut I wanted. I feel really comfortable leaving him to them- as I have learned from experience they are so caring and so responsive to my adjusting my feedback. I even scheduled ahead of time a follow up visit - bc I am confident he will need a trim and they will be the best folks to provide it. I apologize for not knowing the woman's name who groomed my guy today- but she was the same person whom groomed him last time. Thank you- for being patient with me- and eliciting from exactly what i wanted. She had kindness, love for my wiggly guy and did fantastic. Thank you so much! read more

To whomever reads this review, I hope you find it helpful. This is a several months old review that's long overdue. Back in Feb, my family and I adopted an 8yr old Shiba Inu from a foster family because the original owner wasn't able to care for him. Within a day of adopting him, we knew he was in need of a bath-having spent most of his days outside. Admittedly, we did try to go to a closer groomers, but couldn't because of needing Vet's papers on immunizations and what not-things we didn't have much less couldn't obtain from the original owner. All this just to get his nails cut mind you. Found this place via Yelp reviews and decided to check it out. Because it's been a few months, I couldn't tell you who did his grooming but it was at least 2 women-1 to cut and the other to "calm" him down due to his anxiety (a trait this type of dog has). They were done in about 10 mins. Can't show you the end product but hopefully a pic of my dog will suffice. Thanks for taking good care of my family's dog. Highly recommend for any pet owner. 2 Paws up! read more

What a great place. So happy I found it. I took my cat to get some Matte's shaved & boy did they do a great job. I'm so thankful to have all Mr CornWallis's matte's removed. Would definitely recommend. I found the information on their website about their experience very helpful too read more

Do you know how hard it is to find a cat groomer? I've looked for so long to find not just a cat groomer but also one with availability sooner than months out. Bubbles & Bows returned my call very quickly and were able to see us the next day! My cat was very well taken care of & he had complete grooming with a flea bath treatment all for half the price we pay for our dog to get groomed at Petco. I am very pleased with the great customer service & thorough grooming of my cat. We will continue to make the 25 min drive to have our cat groomed! Thank you Bubbles & Bows staff! read more

Absolutely love taking my dogs to get groomed here. Jessie does a fantastic job! I'm a very particular dog mom and I never have to worry here. They look perfect every time! read more

First time taking our dogs here and WOW! Thank you ladies so much for taking such great care of our two dogs. Our mini aussie has never looked better! This is our new spot to take the dogs- great people, great prices and great quality work. Thank you for an awesome experience. We will be back! read more

So sweet. Took good care of my pup. Plan to go back for a Followup. I used to go to another groomer at Petco that I liked but they are so unhappy with their business and held my dog for so many hours in a crate the last visit. This place was quick and loving. read more

Wow. What great service. Made certain that this customer was made happy.

Great dog grooming salon here in Tacoma. They really cut my yorkies hair specifically how I want it and listen to your needs. I also really like how they cut my dogs' faces. Their faces are cut in a way that they keep a cute babydoll face. It's hard to explain, bit if you have ever gone to a dog groomer and they don't cut their face correctly, or cut their muzzle too much, it makes their faces look ugly. But not here! They cut dog faces super cute! Appointments are easy to get. I do wish they had an online appointment scheduling system though. But calling them for an appointment is not a problem at all! I just prefer to be able to schedule my appointments online myself. Highly recommend this dog groomer if you are in the Tacoma area! read more

Best groomer in the Tacoma area. I have been to many in Tacoma that are a horror show , like Tacoma's best which should be renamed Tacoma's worst along with Petsmart. This grooming salon NEVER disappoints !!! read more

I have a 17-year-old cat with long hair and I took her to get groomed here for the first this morning and I was in and out in 10 minutes... She looks fabulous and did great. I loved how quick they were, so kitty wasn't traumatized by the visit. Great job ladies read more

I can't say anything negative about this shop. Super informative and helpful. I trust our pup with them and appreciate their willingness to work with her while I was nervous about how she would react. Prices seem reasonable however, I don't know what other companies charge in the area. We will be going back again and would recommend to other pet owners. read more

I just picked up my three fur babies from being groomed & I have to tell you I am completely satisfied with the care they received & their Clips. I will be back because it is so hard finding a groomer you can trust. I winter in AZ. & didn't know they were even there until I drove by one day. They are a bit higher then where I used to go but I don't have to try & even up a bad cut. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

As always Donna is the best. She is able to handle our dog Ralph with TLC. He loves her very much but doesn't like is feet touched. She is so kind and gentle.I would totally recommend this business for your pets. read more

So happy to have rediscovered Donna, who I entrusted my pup to for boarding and grooming many years ago at Donna's Ark. Bubbles & Bows did a phenomenal job today grooming our chow-mix and goldendoodle! The price was reasonable and the care outstanding! Thank you B&B! read more

Friendly and affordable. These guys do a great job with my dachshund. The shop is clean and conveniently located.

Very gentle with my elderly, Diabetic dog. Both of my dogs seemed calm and comfortable after their first visit.

I'm in love with B&B.. They are alway knowledgable and treat my lil fur baby like a queen!!

Just brought my Tabby cat in for his nails to get cut this morning and had the best experience! The two lady's work this morning were so nice and so sweet to solo and so fast we were in and out in less then 5 minutes. Such a amazing place we'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone!!! read more

After taking my giant yet timid dog to a different groomers for 4 years, we wanted to try a new place. I searched for months, reading reviews, recommendations, and a friend recommended bubbles and bows! I am so thrilled with the service, my dog looks absolutely amazing both times we have taken her in, and their prices are extremely fair! Definitely a keeper! read more

We have been dedicated clients for years... Do NOT go to bubbles and bows!! We had to stop going there, last time we were there the workers were yelling at the dogs to calm down, being mean to them, and yanking out hair it was awful! Right in front of us! I'm still baffled I saw this happen... It made my mom and I sick. I complained to the lady who was checking us out. She didn't care whatsoever, said she didn't hear or see anything. That she would talk to her employee. Right after that the girl started making the dog cry in pain again. I said your hurting that dog please stop it. She just laughed and said it was fine. Said the dog is just a rough one. Seriously not okay!!! If you can't handle the dog without hurting it mentally and physically then don't service that dog! I can still hear that poor pups high pitched scream. Who knows what she did to our dogs and how many times... probably traumatized them. Don't trust them to provide adequate care to your pets. read more

They were efficient and my dog had a good cut and didn't seem traumatized like other places. I had to wait a bit to be acknowledged at the counter which is not a good customer service move, and they didn't call me when my dog was ready, but think they are more of an operations mindset and just need more time. The price was better and it's a great location. read more

This place is amazing. We take our little monster dog here to get her nails clipped and it changed our life. She is blind and extremely anxious and clipping her nails was a relationship-damaging battle. Now, we take her in, somebody confidently and kindly cuts her nails, and we're done within minutes. Staff is so accommodating and sweet. They are wonderful here. read more

I took my puppy in for her first time here. The place was very clean, the staff were great! They actually charged me less than quoted since they didn't need to do a full groom. And my puppy looks great!!! I will definitely be taking her here from now on!!! read more

Take your babies somewhere else! Dropped my dog off and she was there for 4 hours which is way too long in the first place and I should have followed my gut and not left her... went back after 3 hours and 40 mins hoping that she would be done by then and other dogs were being worked on so I was told they needed 20 more mins to finish mine who was crying in a crate. Come back 20 mins later to the worst haircut I've ever seen. Still tipped 18% cause that's just how I am even though it's so clear that ever after being there 4 hours the haircut was literally done in the last 10 mins I have never seen something like this. Since we got home this afternoon my dog can barely open her left eye and it's just watering and watering when I try and open it to look it's as red as can be and clearly painful. So I have no clue what happened to her eye and that's just the icing on the cake. Super super unhappy with this place today for making my dog sit 4 hours in a kennel clearly anxious and crying, spending maybe 10 mins giving her a horrendous haircut, and hurting her eye. read more

I came to Bubbles and Bows at my neighbor's recommendation, and I won't go anywhere else. Donna and Stacy love what they do and it shows. They are patient and kind with their clients. I brought my Shih Tzu puppy to them as soon as she had all her shots and they helped to train her to be handled by people other than myself a little bit of cleaning and cutting at first, gradually increasing service as my dog has gotten older. Their prices are very reasonable. We have witnessed just how gentle and loving, but also effective and professional they are with the dogs. I am glad to support a great small business in the neighborhood! read more

The best groomers ever! I have taken my pups to Stacy for years and my dogs always look fabulous. Won't go anywhere else. What I like besides my dogs looking great is that they treat our pets with such care. My dogs have never shown any stress after spending time there and stacy has pointed out issues that required follow up with the vet. Love them! read more

Hands down, the best place I've ever taken my dog to get groomed. They do such a nice job, and my dog doesn't seem as freaked out when I pick him up like he does at other places. I really trust this place with him, and I'm so glad they are around! read more
