He first gave my Golden Doodle a bath and clipped her face and explained to me, it was too soon for a full groom. He further stated that his shop was for small dogs only. Three yrs. later, I noticed a large dog on his website and called for an appt. All was going well for a good while and recently, he became shady and began to complain about the amount of time it took to groom her. Fast forward, I point blank asked if no longer wanted to groom her let me know and I would move on. He didn't respond, so I moved on.

I hope Shayna gets a bunch more business from in our neighborhood ( Rogers Park). Ps. Our dog made it to the 'dogs of fame' pics on their website. It's an older pic from when she was smaller, she's the black one with white on her chest.

Dixie is a happy doggo after her grooming appointments, she seems to even enjoy them. John has been in the business for a while and it shows!

My dog weighs 11 lbs and John charged me $100 to groom my dog, which is honestly ridiculous. A…read morecouple of times he was slightly matted and he charged $20 extra which is insane. He never tried to brush my dog teeth or trim his nails because of excuses. He would always shave my dog down and had every excuse in the world as to why he had to which was ridiculous. Also, he doesn't even check vaccine record and he talks way too much. If you go, be prepared to be in their for 25 minutes. Thankfully, I found someone else who is way cheaper; they groom my dog the way I want, brush his teeth, and trim his nails for the price of $58. I will not be taking my dog back to John.

I know we won't be able to find someone like him anywhere else and that makes me and my husband really sad. A. My dog loved going to John, he never felt stressed after John's haircut. B. Have you seen how clean his shop is? My jaw dropped when I first went there. C. His cuts are so amazing, Toby was getting complements constantly. D. Shampoo that he uses is amazing, smells so good. E. My dog is anxious, but John never had a problem working with him somehow , he usually never sits still for anyone. F. He is a professional groomer and I don't think you will find someone like him at least in Chicago area. I can go on and on. I don't think he needs my review but I just wanted to share for someone lucky who lives in the area and is able to get appointment at Clean Dog.

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.

We've been going to Sandy's since pre-rebrand…read more Our boy Mason, has never enjoyed baths or being groomed, and he gets very nervous just being in a tub. Everyone at Sandy's has made him feel so comfortable and have been very dedicated to his grooming appointments for the last few years. What we particularly like about this location is that they don't use crates when they're drying the dogs. Your dog has open play and Mason loves socializing with the other dogs while he's there. They always show him so much love when he arrives for his appointments and when we pick him up. I don't think he's been happier (or handsomer) at any other grooming place before.

I dropped her off and was called 40minutes later stating that they were done but was unable to clip here finger nails because she was frightened. It was understandable. I picked her up and grabbed her in a rush due to me being on break for work. Once I got home, I realised that they actually cut her nails and lied because they hurt her. I noticed there was dried blood on her paws. I will not be returning and would not recommend their services. The workers could of been honest; I understand that mistakes happen but they should of owned up to it.
