    This was our third time bringing our pups here and we have been thoroughly pleased each time! Pam and Brenda did such an amazing job with both pups, we will definitely request them from now on! And you get a photo or your pups along with a gift bag with a size appropriate toy! Such a cute concept!

    I would absolutely recommend this business. They are all about giving you and your dog the very best service. I have a 14 week puppy that badly needed a trim. They were so meticulous with him because they knew that it was his first time and went overboard to make sure the experience wasn't a traumatic one for him. Everyone from the receptionist to the groomer are amazing and your puppy goes home smelling amazing, with a photo of their new haircut and a little toy. Booking appointments is effortless and online and they have a cool waiting area for you while you wait for your pup. This is going to be my go to groomers for my puppy going forward. Street parking is easy to find as well.

    I'd give Dashing Dog a higher rating if I could. They made my dog look SO good and were so up front about everything, including the price, which I find so important. They even gave him a little surprise afterward. You should absolutely take your pup here!

    This place is awesome! Just took my 14 year old, 3# somewhat feisty Yorkie for a grooming and wow, so handsome, fluffy & clean and.... no problems! He was happy and calm when I picked him up. Why??? Because the groomer, Pam, was kind and patient - great vibe and dogs definitely sense a good vibe. They took a polaroid, gave him a toy & adorable neck bandana - we are hooked! Very fair pricing too! As a footnote...after nearly 14 years with Kriser's on Belmont and then on Clybourn, we were asked "not to come back" by the uptight groomer...so guess what Kriser's? Thank you! We LOVE Dashing Dog and are happy to support this local small business! woof woof!

    Our groomer moved away and I was lost. Finding someone kind, patient with our spoiled beast and who knows how to cut an active maltese seemed an impossible venture. But then I stumbled on some reviews of Dashing Dog and decided to give them a go. We haven't looked back. Staff is amazing. Friendly, kind, never rush a conversation and call with any questions or suggestions. No pushy upgrades. Hours are fabulous. Parking is easy. Super talented grooming team, especially at a very reasonable price. And it is just the cutest little spot. My dog would freak out if she could see me through the glass barrier but not escape a bath so I don't stay during visits but I always see a few dog parents working on their laptops in the community space while they wait for their pooches. You always walk away with a printed photo and size-appropriate toy and sometimes even make their IG feed. See Tofu the model below.

    The team here was great! Andrea and Trey took good care of my pup and made sure they understood what I wanted and respected what I asked for. They also went above and beyond. My dog had some rough matting and they did an incredible job getting rid of it without having to shave him completely. Even though I asked for a wash and some light grooming they did what was best for the dog and did some extra grooming for him. Would highly recommend them! Will definitely be coming back!

    Brought my dog Indy in. New place just opened. Easy to find. Super accommodating with getting a time (impossible in Chicago) and easy online booking process. When I got there first thing I noticed this place is BEAUTIFUL. Felt like I actually bringing my dog to a spa instead of a groomer. Love their layout and their receptionist Renee was welcoming and laid out all pricing. When I got my dog back he looked great, smelled awesome. What I loved is that they gave me a free toy, a keepsake photo AND posted my dog to instagram - so now he's essentially famous. Thanks Dashing Dog, I'll be back soon!

    Highly Recommend! We had a great experience with Dashing Dog Grooming. Our 10-month Bernese Mountain dog, who is not an easy teenager to handle, looked and smelled amazing. The booking process is super easy with lots of availability. Amazing prices and even better quality. I love the personal goodie bags and bandanas given after each groom. The facility is so cute and clean. Definitely consider them for your next service :)

    Take my girl Maltese to the store. The reservation process is really good online. The owner is very friendly and nice to the dog. She looks extremely happy after grooming. They also give a nice photo for the every dogs. Thanks for all the good service and will definitely go back.

    It was my pup's birthday and it seemed that every grooming salon in Chicago was booked. I happened to come across this place through Yelp and it had five star review so I went ahead and called. This is a new salon that just opened so luckily they had an appointment and booking an appointment was pretty easy. Parking: Street parking. So, make sure you book your appointment and plan ahead when getting there because parking is difficult. Cleanliness: There's nothing that I could say about this salon. It's super clean and it has glass windows to see your dog get a haircut, if you plan on staying there. If you do, they have some refreshments for you. Price: I normally groom my own dog except for nails and haircut and have only really been to Petco for grooming-- I paid $125 for full-grooming including a deshedding treatment. My dog is a 50 lb Golden Retriever, 1 yr old. Grooming: It took them 1 hour and 40 mins to finish my pup. He had a really nice hair trim and looked very clean and smelling so fresh. In comparison to how I do it at home. Staff: The owner also owns a golden retriever so he was understanding of his golden retriever/puppy behavior. The rest of the staff were friendly and nice. Even the girl who was grooming another dog was smiling and pleasant through the window and seemed like she was enjoying her time interacting with the dog she was grooming. Bonus: If it's your first time booking with them your pup gets a mystery treat/toy box.

    Calmly getting his blow dry.

    Andrea did a great job of grooming my fussy little fur ball. It's been over a month and my Norwich still looks great!

    I rarely leave reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Howlistic Grooming…read more This was my dog's second visit, and before leaving him, they specifically asked if he would be receiving the same haircut as last time. I said yes and confidently left, expecting consistency with the previous groom. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. They cut my dog's hair extremely low and completely ignored the previous grooming guidelines. When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying she had "shaved his nails for free," which she said is normally a $10 add-on. I explained that it still didn't address the issue at hand and that it should have either been communicated or charged properly as an add-on if that was the case, because it didn't resolve my concern about the haircut. I was told there was "nothing they could do" and that "for future reference" I should bring a photo. I didn't think a photo was necessary for a repeat appointment when the staff made it seem like they already understood what was expected based on his last service. The manager called the next day, listened to everything that happened, and ultimately only reiterated that they do not offer refunds or discounts. No apology, no empathy, and no accountability for the poor experience. The only response I kept hearing was "for future reference." To make matters worse, my dog's ears were cut so short that he barely even looks like he has ears anymore. The haircut looks nothing like the previous groom, and it's honestly upsetting to look at. Since the appointment, he hasn't even seemed like his usual energetic self. I trusted this salon to care for him properly, and instead I left feeling dismissed and deeply disappointed. A total waste of $80 and a tip. PHOTOS BELOW: As you can see in the attached photos, his beautiful black coat was shaved down entirely too close, leaving his face and ears completely bare.

One of the true pleasures of living in a big city it to discover treasures in the most unexpected of places. Who would think that dog grooming would be one such place but I consider CleanDog to be a treasure in Chicago. John brings a rare combination of pride or work and some kind of genius for dog grooming that is ineffable; he just has a feel and an incredible talent for working with dogs. What brought me in the door for our Maltipoo Bailey is that I was looking for someone who would not immediately resort to shears to deal with some matting (admittedly, we had let Bailey go and she was very matted). I know that taking her to our prior groomer would result in her coming home shivering and looking like a short-haired chihuahua. Reading the reviews here led us to CleanDog. In short, John did not disappoint. He is so kind and helpful and went the extra mile (and then another extra mile and then another after that). As others have experienced, we could not believe how wonderful she looked. In fact, it was the best she has ever looked, hands down. John patiently brushed her out, gave her a much needed bath, and then working his own unique magic, brought out the scissors and turned her into a show dog. I can't imagine taking her for grooming anywhere else in Chicago.
