Hounds Town has been the best thing that we have ever done for our pup! We got Evvie back in…read moreDecember. She was feral when trapped and brought up here from North Carolina. We had her for two months and she was still so skittish and shy when we decided to try to bring her to Hounds Town. The staff is amazing and really understands that every dog is different and has their own needs. The first time we brought her, I almost didn't leave her because she looked so sad and scared when I was leaving. The second time I brought her she still looked back at me but it wasn't as bad. By the third time, she was pulling me into the building and did not look back at me at all when I left. Tail wagging and wiggle butts every time now! The staff remembers her name every time and they truly love to see her come in. She has blossomed under their care and is no longer the shy, scared pup she once was. We look forward to the "paw-ties" they throw and the fun photos and "paintings" she gets sent home with. She gets spa treatments (baths and nails)! I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun, safe environment for their dog to enjoy!

Even after he passed and I welcomed a new goldendoodle, Lenny, in 2024, I've kept the same routine because I know there's no other groomer who matches the skill, compassion, and superb facilities they offer. From the moment you arrive, you're met with genuine warmth and professionalism. The staff take the time to understand each dog's personality, preferences, and needs, which makes every visit smooth and reassuring. The grooming quality is outstanding--my dogs always come home clean, well-groomed, and looking their best, with cuts that fit their breeds and characters perfectly. What truly sets this salon apart is the compassion and quick thinking of the team. I'll never forget a time I found what I feared might be a nest of seed ticks on my dog. In a panic, I called the Pet Salon, and they didn't hesitate to help. They took him right in, performed a tick/flea dip, and removed every tick. They didn't even charge for the visit. That level of care and generosity showcased their genuine concern for the well-being of the animals and their peace of mind for the owners. The facility itself is immaculate and well-equipped, prioritizing safety and comfort for dogs of all temperaments. Communication is excellent--clear updates on grooming plans, reminders for future appointments, and swift responses to any special requests. If you're seeking a groomer with extraordinary skill, heartfelt compassion, and a top-notch facility in Margate, I cannot recommend the Pet Salon highly enough. They've earned my unwavering trust and loyalty for the long haul, and I'm confident they'll earn the same for you and your fur baby!!

I used The Pet Salon twice. Prior to using the services, I spoke in detail with the owner about my…read moredog's sensitivity to being put in a crate or in any way isolated. The first service was positive, my dog was well cared for and they did a nice job. The 2nd time unfortunately was very upsetting. After getting the same service, my daughter picked up my dog (slightly late due to the salon contacting the wrong family member for pickup, who was out of town) Once she got back, we noticed that one of his nails had been injured, and had the remnants of antiseptic around that paw. We were shocked to see this, especially when there had been no communications to us that anything happened to him. When I called and spoke with a woman who was either the manager or an owner, she said she would investigate and get back to me. And in her follow up, she told me that "my dog did this to himself" because we were late picking him up and she implied that he was acting up (barking, etc), and then banged his nail and it was bleeding. (as a side note, they were told "who" to contact for pickup, since only I was local that day and didn't follow it. It was 15 min notice, and they contacted me a while after they called my husband who was not in town) Bottom line, there is so much wrong with the owner's messaging to me. Regardless of "who's fault" the late pickup was ... she was clear that they put him in a stressful situation for that extra "wait time". (it was an additional 15 minutes by the time my daughter got there). Their staff ignored the signs that my dog was stressed being in the situation we had warned not to do to him until he was stressed enough to injure himself. This owner's willingness to "blame the customer" for their own poor handling of the situation is a disappointment. But much worse was her decision NOT to disclose that the injury happened at all under their care. Mistakes happen, and had she responded differently, we likely would have continued to use their services. In the end, the owner had the opportunity to take responsibility for their mistakes to ensure it wouldn't happen again. And we would have been a repeat customer. A non-disclosure of an injury to your pet - WHOEVER is at fault - is not only a violation of customer trust but I would suspect state regulations. I RARELY write reviews, especially for understandable mistakes which will happen, so long as they can be discussed and remedied. But this owner's approach and judgment is a different level and I felt it was important to share.

If you do not pay for extra the dogs only get walked 3 times a day for less than 5 minutes and no attention is paid to them. Even with play time during the day after 5:30 they do not get walked again or checked on it seems till 13 hours later at 6:30 the next morning. When we picked up our dog the place was barren outside and the play rooms looked pretty empty just sounds of howling dogs in cages. I asked how many dogs they had at that time and the worker said about 50, plus cats. No dogs playing outside, barely any playing inside, and only 3 people working for all of those dogs. We had a live feed of our dog and could see the dog next to it and it got sick in its cage and was not attended to for at least an hour. We also arrived at 12 PM like we were told and they tried to charge us an extra $60 for "late checkout" because it was after 11 AM.
