The reviews are true. Becky and her staff go out of their way to accommodate and she is the best person we've found that can groom a Yorkie to our liking. They are located next door to my gym, so I can drop off our "favorite child" and she is spa treated and returned by the time I'm done. At least one of us is smelling fresh and looking rejuvenated. There have been a few times when we could not pick her up right a way..no problem. Becky played daycare and hosted our little girl until we arrived later in the day. Her prices are more than reasonable too. If you need some independent verification... Sit outside for a few minutes and watch the sheer volume of pets that she handles on a daily basis. Good people-Great service read more

My husky is not just a pet; she's part of my family. So to say I don't just trust her with anyone is a large understatement. When I moved to Bristol a few years back, I was turned onto this place by my then fiancée. She had told me about Designer Dogs and that she's taken her two lap dogs there for years and told me they are very good. So I figured I would give them a try. I have to say the owner and staff is beyond nice. Personable, pleasant and you can tell they love their work. Which by the way in this line of work you have to love animals. Plus I can tell my dog gets treated very well here. Every time we walk in the door, her tail is wagging; she gets up on her hind paws to peek over the counter. The fact that she gets this excited tells me she loves coming here. Plus you can't beat the prices. I have a Siberian Husky and for a grooming session it only costs me about $25.00. Every time I pick her up she smells so nice, her coat looks shiny and clean and her paws are filed down at just the right length. They have multiple rooms so they split up the dogs based on the size of them. If you do happen to give this place a try, keep in mind they only accept cash or check, no credit/debit cards. I highly recommend Designer Dogs. The price, service and the staff are a great combination! read more

I had a miscommunication about the length of our dogs haircut last week and took him back today. I was not charged anything for what really was my mistake. Can't say how much I love this place and how well they treat our nine year old Pekingese, Yoda. After years of haircuts at big box stores, he will not let just anyone, our vet or even us, trim his nails. Designer Dogs really cares about dogs and Yoda let's them trim away with no guff. Thank you time and time again for this peace of mind! read more

The staff at Designer Dogs are incredible! We have three dogs, two that require extra TLC. Joe and the staff take their time with all of our dogs, exhibiting patience and caring that helps to support each of our dogs in what they need. Joe - you've got fans for life in Copper, Gracie, and Isabelle! Thank you to you and your entire team. read more

My mother's friend actually recommended this place and I'm glad I listed to them! I have finally found the best groomer for my precious standard size golden doodle! They did a phenomenal job with grooming my dog. The new owners were very helpful on the suggestion of how short to clip my dog. All of my request were honored by them. They do take a good while but that's okay since they do their work with such quality. Another great thing I loved about this place is the price!! For my dog's grooming, the price topped out at $55! At other groomers, I've spent up to $90 easily. This place is a gem! read more

Great grooming salon for dogs! Extremely price efficient and meticulous in the details of your dogs wants and needs. The staff is very courteous and will work with you on setting up an appointment that works with your schedule. I have brought my puppy here several times and she always seems to walk out happier than when I brought her. read more

Customer service is everything when you own a business. Unfortunately, Designer Dogs has terrible customer service. I would rather pay more than deal with a person who is disrespectful. If they're disrespectful to me, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my dog in their care. read more

I had an appointment for my dog at 11:00 and I left a message to confirm my appointment the day before. A woman had called me back to confirm my dogs appointment at 11:00, then the morning of I got a text that said my dog missed an appointment at 10:00. I called to ask about it and a man answered and said "No woman ever called you or anything, I am the only person that answers calls!" Making me sound completely idiotic like I was making this up. He was so unbelievably rude, all he wanted to do was fight with me. I will never bring either of my dogs there again. Now I cant get another appointment for at least 3 weeks and my dog is so over grown because of that asshole. read more

I've taken my Mini Schnauzer to Becky's for over a year now, and they have never let me down! Unlike other groomers there is no kenneling here. Dogs are divided up according to size, placed in separated sections, and get to play with other dogs during their stay. On the days that they are really busy, and Lily ends up having to be there for a few hours, they even take her out for a quick sniff and pee if she needs it. They have always cut her hair perfectly in the winter when I say to leave a little length, and in the summer when it's time to give her a full on buzz, they manage to make her head and face look so pretty. She doesn't come home embarrassed or with cuts either. She proudly struts around like the special little dog she is when she's been to Becky's! Their prices are also amazing. I live in Newport where the norm is to price gouge you for dog grooming, we're talking $60+ for a 15 pound dog... But Becky's pricing of $35 is amazing for the amount of services you get. I was very dissapointed with Petco and other groomers on the island who didn't include nails and ears in grooming. Becky's staff clipped and cleaned ears and nails without being asked and without charging extra! I recommend anyone with a dog visit Becky's Designer Dog, it's worth leaving the island for the day to visit the best dog groomers I've ever met! Tell them Lily Bugs Von Schnauzers Mom sent you! read more

I had a really great groomer here in Newport for the first 7 years of my dog's life. Then she moved to Alabama. I was happy when 2 new groomers opened on the island but I was shocked at the prices! My dog is only 15 lbs so $70 is outrageous to me. I was pleased to recently discover Designer Dogs, and super excited that they only cost $35!! And my Bichon came out beautiful! He's so fluffy and got a perfect cut! I won't be going anywhere else now. So worth the 20 minute drive to Bristol! read more

They are as good as everybody says! Our Abby is always so soft and beautiful and sweet-smelling after she comes here. The staff are all super nice, and they don't mind hanging out with the dogs - instead of kenneling our dog (which would be a deal-breaker for us), they just let her hang out with them in the grooming room until I arrive to pick her up. They also do $5 walk-in nail trimming, which is a GREAT service. Our dog tends to grow large talons in between grooming appointments, so I take her here to get her nails trimmed and filed when they get too long and start stabbing everybody. :-D Prices are VERY reasonable, almost too low! Do them a favor and pick up some food or some retail items while you're there!! They have lots of good stuff. read more

I have to say, my 9 year old German Shepherd had a fantastic experience here and came back looking and acting like a puppy. They got so much undercoat out that it clogged their air conditioner. Once she was done, she got to play with the other dogs and just have a wonderful time. Truly the best part was how they cared for my other German Shepherd. She had gotten hurt earlier in the day and I had to take her to the vet. Designer Dogs rearranged their schedule to accommodate me and then asked to wait to groom her. They wanted to make sure she was healed before bathing her. When we came in to pick up "big sister," they gave little sister a bandanna too so she wouldn't be jealous. They fawned over my girls with lots of treats and pets. It honestly felt like family was taking care of them. I also appreciate their prices. They are incredibly reasonable! read more

I USED to love this place. My baby boy loved it, I loved it , the staff WAS wonderful !! They WERE soooooo good to us. And he is picky about who he lets touch his feet and face . He doesn't trust just anyone . But they DID such a great job, no muzzle needed and he WAS Always sooooo happy to go there ! He's a little ,white JRT/Maltese Blend . And he is the sweetest dog ever !! I'm not just saying that bc he's mine, EVERYONE LOVES HIM! Let me start by saying NEW OWNERS TOOK OVER. They suck. They have good intentions, by they don't know ANYTHING about grooming . First of all they said he was vicious ( more or less!) HA YA RIGHT! And they HADDDDDD TO PUT A MUZZLE on him. That's not true. I brush his teeth and he hates that and he's never snapped at me or ANYONE. And secondly, this is where I get PISSSSSED OFF, they had MY scared little boy LOCKED UP IN A CAGE FOR 4 hours, never called to tell me he was ready(I called) and get this... ,AFTER I got him home and inspected his haircut and smelled him, I REALIZED HE NEVER EVEN GOT GROOMED AT ALLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!! Nothing . Not even a BATH. Nothing AT ALL. Everyone there thought another employee had groomed him. How do you screw THAT UP !!?? Tell me. The place is small and only 4 people work there at a time. So no one noticed him sitting in the cage for HOURS ????!!! This really UPSETS ME!!! He's a scared little boy, he did NOT DESERVE THAT !!! HOWWWWWWWWW did this happen ???? I live in Tiverton and I had to trot him alllllll the way back, an hour with traffic round trip. Then I noticed they didn't cut his nails . They said his nails weren't long enough to cut & they didn't wanna get his quicks . I said he has NOT had his nails trimmed in almost a YEAR. They said , well he walks a lot so he doesn't need them cut. I came to the conclusion they probably didn't know HOW to do it and I said never mind bc I didn't want them to hurt him anyways !!! This was a nightmare ! And to think I even tipped them the 1st time with NOOOOOO GROOM $10, for nothing ! How can you overlook your profession ??!! Totally uneducated in their field and THEY DONT GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT YOU OR YOUR DOG! ALL they want is YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY !! Previous owner was AMAZING !!! And one more thing, I have NEVER,IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, given a bad review to ANYONE EVER !! My dog is my CHILD. I do NOTTTTTT TRUST THEM WITH MY CHILD AT ALL! And you would think they would have given me a refund , or offered a free groom next time I come to make it up to me.... NOPE !!! They cost me ALOT OF TIME AND AGGRAVATION. And ... I recommended them to all my friends & family prior to this , and I had everyone going there too!! Do NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE! I doubt they are even certified in dog grooming . I wouldn't trust my dogs life in their hands!! Be careful . I'm sorry I had to write this, but I feel the public should know about this. DO NOTTTTTT GO HERE!! read more

Someone on Yelp read my review for another groomer that overcharged me and sent me a message about this place, I couldnt be more grateful! I was able to schedule an appt for the next day and they did it in a an hour which is great so we could just wait for my pup instead of leaving her but they also gave me the option of picking her up at 6pm after work - they have great hours! I have a shitzu poodle and they charged $40, love this price and she looks great! They did an amazing job with her and they loved my pup which of course makes me a proud owner. Overall, extremely happy someone told me about this place. I live in Middletown and usually drive to Warwick for my pup to get groomed. So happy to have this place now! read more

Becky's is the best! Professional courteous and pet friendly. Convenient hours and they don't cage my golden retriever when he's done. Colt loves going there! I have been to two other groomers in area and Becky's is the best! read more

I brought my little yorkie to get groomed and the groomer was screaming at her. Grabbed her off the table and snapped at the other groomer to do her nails. When i asked the owner if screaming at the animals was common practice, he responded Yes and was laughing! This place is totally unorganized and they do NOT care about the pets. Rethink trusting them with your precious babies. read more

I called Designer Dogs after a couple of friends recommended them. They were able to fit my dog in on a busy Saturday with no problem at all. My dog is a notoriously difficult and stubborn dog to bathe and groom. However, after leaving her there for a couple of hours, she came out looking amazing and their prices were VERY reasonable! I will definitely be making routine appointments for her from now on. 100% recommend. read more

I have been going to Designer Dogs for over 13 years. The staff is wonderful and truly caring. Since my first dog passed I am now bringing my new dog Buster. Becky and the girls are the best. They are so sweet to the animals and quite reasonable. I will never go anywhere else but Designer Dogs!! We love it there! read more

Becky and her staff are the absolute best! Not only do they groom our dog, but they have boarded them and they have helped find the right diet for them as well. Our Belgian has a sensitive stomach, but with Becky's help, we found a dog food that worked well with her. Another example of how they have helped us was when I went away for nine days for work. My wife works long hours and wasn't able to come home at lunch to let our dogs out. A staff member from Becky's came over and did that for us while I was away for a small fee. They're always there for us! It's not just a grooming business or dog store, it's another family for your dog! read more

It's a great feeling to walk my dogs (aka kids) into the groomer with their tails wagging...there is no better place than Designer Dogs for my "kids" read more

Designer Dogs is a locally-owned small business at its best. Everyone is so nice and helpful...they genuinely care about the well being of all of their customers. They love dogs and go above and beyond to please and satisfy their customers. They take the time to ask questions about your dog when you ask them for recommendations regarding your dog's diet. Of course when you go into business you hope for it to be a profitable venture. I never get that feeling when I'm at Designer Dogs. They genuinely enjoy the service that they provide to their customers and dogs. And beyond that, they also are very charitable to the community. This I know as fact! I truly hope that you support this local business. They are all that's right about locally-business. We as a community need to keep them in business. read more

I can't say enough about Becky and her wonderful team at Designer Dogs. My golden doodle, Jesse, has been going to Designer Dogs since he was a pup. He considers the groomers his second home and can't wait to get in to see everyone. Everyone is so friendly and caring, and I cannot tell you how many compliments I receive on Jesse's cut. He always looks terrific (and smells terrific!) Becky even went out of her way to help me find a solution for Jesse's frequent ear infections. He has been feeling great ever since. Although I have moved from Bristol to Warwick, I still make the drive over to Designer Dogs and wouldn't consider going anywhere else! read more

I take my boyfriends dog here all the time. Becky genuinely cares about all the dogs she and her staff care for. She has great advice on all dog related topics- from diet and nutrition to behavioral problems. She also has a shop attached. Unlike your typical groomer that seems to throw some random things out to try and get some extra money out of you- her products are clearly well thought out and the prices are great. She carries a wide variety of "high end" dog food that focuses on nutrition (by far the best price on Pinnacle dog food I have ever seen) as well as quality toys, dog clothing(!) and homemade dog treats. She also had an isle for cats!! If I'm not mistaken she has doggy day care for a VERY low price and walk-In nail clippings for 5$. We would be lost without Becky & Designer Dogs! Warning: they book up quick so don't wait until the last second! $$ **They DO take credit cards BUT when you're signing the credit card slip there is no line for Gratuity so if you're tipping them for a service bring cash!! $$ read more

I took my two Shihtzus to Becky for quite awile, and they always were groomed great. Then new owners look over, and apparently they don't know how to groom a shihtzu. You can see in these photos my two babies were butchered. I took them in to be groomed before they were to be photographed. I even told them this, and this is what they did to them. Then when I complained about the way they looked, I was told to go to another groomer. As you and everyone can see the job they did was just plain bad. No apology, no what can we do to make this better, no let us give you a refund, just we did a good job, if you dont like the groom, too bad. They also told me the dogs were both bad and gave the groomer a hard time. They're 4 & 5, have been groomed regularly, and I've never had a groomer tell me they had a hard time with either of them. Also, it wasn't until I complained that they said they gave them trouble. Funny, when I arrived to pick them up I asked how it went, and was told they were both good, then when I complained about the hack job they did, then my dogs were bad. I wouldn't recommend Designer Dog to anyone. Very poor groomers! read more

I really can't say enough nice things about this place. They were so helpful and my dog looks super cute. Usually when I pick my dog up from the groomer, the poor thing is shaking and so ready to go home. This time he was relaxed, looked very happy and had the cutest bandanna. All for $35, which is a fraction of what I used to pay in DC and San Diego. Will definitely come back! The groomer was nice and came to answer my questions before the service. I showed her a picture and what I got, was exactly what I asked for. They have free, hassle-free parking and take major credit cards with exception of Amex. The lady at the cashier was polite and very helpful as well. Thanks for taking care of Bisco!! read more

After my first attempt at getting my lhasa puppy trimmed (at a place that had had good reviews in Cohasset) I was convinced I was going to have to learn how to groom her myself because it was such a terrible experience (poor thing looked like she had a puppy bowl cut). Anyway, thank goodness I gave designer dogs a try after hearing rave reviews from people in town because my little Lucy looked amazing when we picked her up. They were so nice, the dogs aren't crated so they get out a lot of energy while they're there and it's incredibly reasonably priced! Designer dogs is about an hour and ten minutes from my house but well worth the drive, we'll be back! read more

We brought our dog to Becky's for the first time on 4/17 She did a wonderful job with him. I wish we knew about her grooming salon before now. They were also very reasonable. We will not bring Terry anywhere else. read more

We brought our dog in today to get her nails clipped, just on a whim. Brought her in, and they asked me to hold my dog (which I thought was odd, knowing my dog would hate it). I had a tough time holding her, and then (I think the owner) took over and held her. My dog scratched both me and the owner, but they got them all clipped. When I asked why they wouldn't muzzle her, he said that he doesn't like doing that to dogs. I really, really respect that. They got all the nails and made sure to calm her and give her a treat. It was rough, but I give it to them, and love their personalities. Price was super reasonable ($5!) and I made sure to tip well after she scratched him. Can tell very personable with pets and highly recommend! read more

They always do a wonderful job with my Shih Tzu mix and prices are great too. They always finish in a decent amount of time but have also been very accommodating when I wasn't able to pick up my dog right away. He's always happy to be there and loves that they allow the dogs to play together too. read more

I used Yelp to find a pet groomer near me who would cut the nails of our pugs. Anyone who has pugs knows they do not like anyone grabbing their paws and cutting their nails. I warned the person here that at the vet they have to take one of my pugs in the back room to restrain her and you can hear her cry throughout the whole office. The two women at Designer Pets were not deterred, and gently held my pug and trimmed his nails and he barely made a sound. What would have cost $70 at the vet cost only $10 here (in fairness to the vet they told me we would save money if we let a dog groomer trim the nails)! We will be returning soon to get our dogs bathed. We are new but big fans! read more

I have no clue how this place has five stars. Maybe they do well with other breeds but they gave my standard poodle the worst cut ever. I could tell she was unneven when I picked her up but did not realize the extent until I took her to our normal groomer near my parents house in new york a few weeks later. It took our poor groomer 3 HOURS!! to fix this mess. They also refused to do her feet bc it made her "uncomfortable" she's a service dog she needs clean feet for all the public places she walks through. Ugh never again. Poodle owners beware!!! read more

Affordable, always willing to fit you in. Great job on the grooming, and quick too. I make the trip from Swansea, well worth it.

FINALLY...found a place for my baby girl Nikita (Malti-Chin). After trying several other groomers all over the island and beyond, I finally found a groomer that I love and so does Nikita. They take great care of my baby and I don't have to leave her there all day like some other. She got such a cute haircut even though she was way too matted for any designer look. When I went to pick her up she was as happy as can be (didn't charge out of there...get me out of here like she did at other groomers) because they don't cage our babies. read more
