    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    Dirty Dog Pet Grooming

    Absolutely under no circumstances bring your dog to this guy…read more Look at the photos of my shy, RESCUE, Border Collie and give me one sane explanation as to why he treated her like this - that doesn't make your mind go to the sickest of places. This type of "grooming" doesn't happen by accident. I took my Border Collie to be groomed based on all of the positive reviews. DONT BE DUPED like we were. David VERY closely shaved her butt, tail, anal and other intimate areas. Only half way up her body. That is all he did. You are NEVER supposed to shave a border collie. We had discussed that on the phone and stipulated and agreed upon a grooming plan in person when we arrived. Instead of grooming her appropriately ... he had his own plan. He just obsessed over her genital areas and tried to return her with 1/2 a coat and charge us $80. Mats remained in her ears and under her elbows. She wasn't even brushed. He didn't even WASH her. Now we are all questioning why it is called "Dirty Dog Grooming." Even our vets office couldn't help but wince at the coincidence after they had to examine her. Her tail was between her legs. Worse, she reeked of fish and fecal matter suggesting she was in such terror that she released her anal glands. (Vet confirmed). HE IS DISTURBING, ABUSIVE and AGGRESSIVE to both dogs and people. (We later found out he was directly responsible for the death of a dog a few years ago, but due to loose grooming regulations in Rhode Island - continues to groom). Our vet said this was one of the POOREST grooming situations she had ever seen. They described it as odd, bizarre, poorly done, and concerning. Their office also told me my dogs beautiful coat may never grow back the same as it was. They provided documentation for me to share with any necessary channels to help warn others of this man. Beware! The grooming happens in his personal basement with just him and the animal (not a salon as advertised), which made me kind of uneasy. He clipped her nails right in front of us so he seemed to know what he was doing. Hmm or was he not skilled enough to do this without us there? Now I'm Kicking myself for not considering that. I've been keeping a consistent home grooming routine with Story so she wasn't a huge grooming mess- truthfully she has been in the past after many beach trips and even then...she was still groomed appropriately. David seemed very odd, but my boyfriend and I both kind of chalked it up to him being an animal person who maybe didn't jive with people. As animal lovers, we've met many people who love the dog park, but hate a dinner party. We were so wrong. There is something deeply disturbing about his operation. Not only did David deny shaving her, but there are clear buzz cut trails that are easy to see bc they are so uneven and in some places clipped down to her pink skin. He didn't wash her. He didn't get her mats out in any other area. It looks awful and it's so so creepy. What is the point of paying such attention to an animals genitals?? She was not in need of shearing or a Brazilian wax and trim - this may sound humorous,but I assure you that the delicately trimmed hairs around my dogs private area would make you sick. Other professional groomers confirmed his blades were dull and not sanitary to leave such offending marks on her body and by the look of her coat. Honestly, Why would you shave half of a long haired border collies back and 1/5 of her tail? When we confronted David about this he immediately began screaming and yelling incredibly derogatory terms at us. Terms that are hateful and not even appropriate to type. He threatened if this was "20 years ago" he would handle this physically and had a crazy look in his eyes while lumbering around his yard (without a mask during covid19) and screaming "She looks fine, and you're just drunk!" We had just been at the hospital visiting our infant daughter who is finally getting to come home from the NICU--the entire reason we wanted to groom our dog. If you just made a mistake wouldn't you handle this in another manner? Why flip out unless you have something to hide? I called the police to ask how we should handle it bc this is animal abuse. There is no way this guy is licensed. Collectively, we are working with the Warren Police Department and Animal Control to get to the bottom of this sordid situation. Unfortunately, this is not just "a bad dog hair cut' - ONLY her intimate areas are shaved and she wasn't groomed elsewhere. This is so disturbing.

    We've got an elderly, 17 yr old dog, that no longer likes baths and grooming. We're grateful to…read morehave found Dave who only works with 1 dog at a time, giving them personal, gentle, care.

Our Jozi was still in DKA crisis after recently being discharged from another emergency vet hospital in the area on September 27, 2025. Dr. Jody Mello-Brooks immediately diagnosed that Jozi was still in DKA crisis with positive blood ketones and was severely dehydrated too. She admitted her to Warren Animal Hospital for fluid resuscitation, blood sugar management, insulin treatments, antibiotics for her pancreatitis (diagnosed on 9/25/25) and electrolytes with close observation. Dr. Jody Mello-Brooks worked on Jozi x 22 hours over the next 2.5 days to bring our girl "back-to-life" again. I am thoroughly convinced that Dr. Jody and her staff (Erin Hartington, CVT, Olivia and Candice) saved our sweet Jozi's life. No doubt about it. They walked us hand-in-hand each day with the plan of care, treatments provided and future management of our dog who was newly diagnosed with diabetes and pancreatitis. We were thoroughly impressed with their dedication, commitment, compassion and competence to provide the best care for Jozi as well as address all of our cares, concerns and questions. Thank you Dr. Jody, Erin, Olivia and Candice for taking such good care of our sweet Jozi girl! We highly recommend Warren Animal Hospital for ALL of your pet's needs!

My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel had TWO out of FOUR unbelievably horrid groomings. 1st so bad I took dog back. Manager couldn't believe how bad scissoring and eagerly took 45 minutes to redo her with next grooming at no charge. Next two groomings were fine. Curiously, those groomers are no longer working at PetSmart. Fourth grooming worse than first. She didn't clip hair between foot pads, cut only very tips off 1/2" toenails, hair sticking out all over. Feet trimmed on only one sides with under growth on other side uncut. Awful brush out. I brushed fistfuls of top and under coat when she returned home. Impossible to inspect grooming quality when dogs are excited to be picked up. Chest not clipped to breast bone or shoulders blended to pattern. I didn't want to put her through another hour of grooming, so I didn't take her back. I paid an extra $20 for shedding control and gave $10 tip prior to fully looking at dog. No shedding difference noted so don't waste your money! I complained after deciding to give them one more try and was told they only have one decent groomer and then the manager wasn't comfortable doing my dog due to my previous dissatisfaction. Was also told my previous appointment was with "in-training" groomer. I am disgusted with myself at even trying to give them another chance. Thought my problem would be resolved by asking for experienced groomer! Obviously, the dogs aren't checked prior to releasing!!! ARE YOU AWARE DOG GROOMERS ARE NOT LICENSED IN MASSACHUSETTS AND ANYONE CAN GROOM YOUR DOG? I worry about the safety of my dog as the groomers seem to come and go on a regular basis with most groomers "in-training". After my final and last conversation with the manager, I would NEVER trust the safety of my dog or spend good money for totally unsatisfactory grooming!
