    My dogs shaved and cut private area!

    PLEASE BE AWARE! So this is the 3rd time my dog has been to this groomer and they shaved my dogs private area and my dog has been uncomfortable and crying every night from the pain! I don't know why they didn't tell me that they hurt my dog! Update: Spoke to the manager and she stated that if I brought in the invoice that the owner should be able to reimburse me for the vet bill. Went back to Dirty Dog to drop off the invoice and the staff that I spoke with was very rude and had an attitude! After 20 minutes of waiting in the car for someone to come out to the car to grab my invoice I decided it was best to go inside because I was clearly forgotten about! Was going to give this place a try again but with a different groomer, after the rude staff will not be returning! Will give another update to see if they reimburse me for the vet bill!

    Clean Dog thanks to Dirty Dog!

    We took our German Shepherd in For a complete grooming and nail trim. He came home soft and shiny and happy. The staff was friendly and informative, and the pricing is right. Highly recommend.

    After grooming at Dirty Dog

    I took my Shorkie puppy for his first grooming appointment yesterday to Dirty Dog in Bolingbrook. He is almost 5 months old. He is a smart puppy and if I had went with his reaction to the groomer when I was dropping him off , I would've walked right out the door. He didn't want to go with her. He pee'd out of fea right there. I asked the receptionist how much was it going to cost to bath and trim ? She looked puzzled said," I don't know yet. " We have to evaluate him. I asked her to give me a call so that I can be prepared to pay. She never called. When I got there to pick him up 3 hours later she said it was going to be $60. I reminded her that I requested that she Call me prior to me getting there. I told her that the price was steep for what I had requested . I paid and added a $10 tip just because I often tip. She took the cash . They then brought out my puppy . They had shaved him completely, even around his private area. I almost didn't know him. He was traumatized and shaking and so glad I'd gotten there to rescue him. The groomer then came out and chastised me saying I needed to train him on how to behave when he is getting groomed. I reminded her that he was a puppy and this was his first visit. I am angry that my beautiful Puppy was treated like a mangy stray and I was treated disrespectfully. I will not be back to Dirty Dog. Ps- I can't take him for his walk to poop because its too cold for my hairless dog.

    I have been coming to dirty dog for years. My sheltie Max was one of Butch's first customers. I have used Dirty Dog over the years with 3 more dogs. I have never had an issue. Over the years he has gotten buisier and hired more help but I find the quality of his service to remain excellent. I plan on coming here for years to come. If you book your next appointment before leaving they will throw in a free toothbrushing.

    My baby went in with long hair, looking messy & dirty and came out spankin clean and well trimmed! His hair came out exactly as we asked which is always difficult to get with other groomers we've gone to.

    I'm not sure what has changed with this business, but our recent experiences have been…read moredisappointing. We initially believed we had found an ideal groomer because this facility promotes dog interaction, similar to a puppy daycare environment. Socialization was important to us, and during our first two visits everything seemed excellent. We were able to see our dog playing and interacting with other dogs on the live cameras, and he appeared to be having a great time. However, during later visits, we noticed a significant change. Our dog appeared to be kept in a crate from the time he arrived until pickup. We raised this concern with the owner, who assured us this would not happen again. Based on that reassurance, we decided to give the business another opportunity. Unfortunately, during the following visit we experienced the same issue. Our dog was not visible on the cameras and appeared to have been crated again. When we addressed this, we were told it was due to a miscommunication among staff members. We were again reassured that the issue had been resolved and would not occur in the future. Today, after not seeing our dog on the cameras for approximately two and a half hours, my husband called the facility to check on him. The staff member who answered the phone was dismissive and did not allow my husband to fully explain the situation. We referenced our previous conversations with Chris, the owner, who had assured us this would not continue to happen. The staff member responded that Chris was not present and stated that she needed to check in all dogs before allowing ours to be cage-free. At that point, our dog had already been there for two and a half hours, which raised further concerns for us. Due to the circumstances and the manner in which the call was handled, my husband informed them that he would be coming to pick up our dog immediately, as we were not comfortable paying for services where he remained crated the entire time. When my husband arrived, our dog was simply brought out and released to him. There was no explanation, acknowledgment, or apology offered. Based on our experience, I encourage other pet owners to ask questions and ensure they fully understand how their pets will be cared for during their stay.

    I'm just going to let the photos speak for themselves. Had an appt, they had to I guess cancel (idk…read morebecause I never heard back); made another appt, got the confirmations again, they never showed up today. I left a voicemail but never heard back. If you didn't want the business there's better ways than to just ghost customers. ‍ We wouldn't have taken it personally. It's the ghosting that's an issue. Seems like it's a common issue across the mobile pet grooming industry anymore. Extremely disappointed. For what it's worth, we were very pleased with their first two grooming sessions.

    Not a Maltese cut!…read more Before booking, I asked multiple times for a groomer experienced with Maltese and a specific Maltese cut. I was told: "I've done plenty Maltese I've been grooming for 9 years." The first photo shows Baylin in her full coat before grooming. The others are Baylin the day she was groomed and weeks later, showing how poorly the cut growing out. I requested a proper Maltese shape, trimmed right off the floor with no straight lines. Baylin is only 3-4 pounds, so experience matters. The result was not a Maltese cut. I contacted the owner weeks later to give feedback only, not to request a refund. The responses were: * "You had no complaints when there this is days after the groom" * "Request the other groomer or go else where" * "Beth would be more then happy to service you" * "And I assume that's the day of your groom correct ?" * "Days after to complain makes 0 sense beth would be more then happy to service you eliza is no longer here." After that, communication stopped. This service cost $120 +$40 travel fee (not including tip). Posting for transparency.
