So I used to take both my dogs here they were all right, pretty pricey then I started taking my puppy here and after a couple times coming here, they started to complain about my dog and how she was very nappy and did not give them a good time then they said I should put her on some type of sleep medicine then I took her again They complain that she was very vicious. Mind you she is less than 3 pounds. Then continue to say that I should put my 3 pound dog on a tranquilizer and ask my vet about it. I really do not recommend taking your dog here if anything go a couple blocks down to barking beauties for a very better service as well as better environment for your animal causes less stress and will never ask to put your dog on a tranquilizer. read more

I wanted to post these photos of "My Little Guy": BEI BEI. Mary Jo has groomed Bei Bei since I got him in 2017. Sometimes I let his coat grow out thick and long, for almost a year!, but Mary Jo was able to turn him back to a handsome Little Guy. I sadly lost my Bei Bei last week, and I wanted to let Mary Jo know that we both really appreciated her skill, patience and dedication to her job. Thank-you Mary Jo! BEI BEI's life: 10/5/2013 to 3/14/2024. read more

I called this place twice within a week to schedule a grooming. I never got a call back. I understand if you're not taking new clients or are overbooked. The very least you could do is to communicate that and I'll move on. It's completely unprofessional to just ignore a potential new client. read more

This place use to be great! Now it's Cash and Zelle only The last two visits my little dog came home and became in major pain from all the shear cuts on him. Especially in the personal area, I texted the owner no response. Very disappointing My little never cry's , but he's been crying because of the pain for days now! Very little sleep, I've have managed to ease his pain But I will never go back read more

Yesterday I went to Dog In Suds to get my Maltese Kash groomed. I was not optimistic that it would happen because grooming has been challenging. Much to my surprise and delight, Lisa got the job done. She worked so well with him as she was patient and kind. Lisa is known officially as his groomer. I also want to thank the employees at Dog In Suds for excellent customer service. Kudos to you guys! read more

I thought I'd try this place out to see if it was any better than the normal place we go to. They charged $70, while the other place charged $55. He's a shedding Husky so I expected it to be around $60 but $15 more then the other place seemed a bit high. We brought him in on a Saturday and they said it might be 4 hours!?! Seems like a really long time. It ended up taking almost the whole 4 hours. He came back looking great! They did a fantastic job trimming him and his fur looked fluffy and clean. A little later, I was petting him and a ton of fur came off. (See picture) Now, I know they can't get every single piece of fur off - but this was a significant amount of fur after just petting him for a few minutes. He did have to pee, poop and drink tons of water immediately upon returning home so I'm not sure they took him out to do his duty, which kind of bothered me but he still arrived home happy. We may try a few more places in the area to see if we can get a better price but we were happy with how clean he was - just wish they spent a little more time getting the fur off of him, especially considering the steep prices. read more

Dog In Suds Grooming - Chiquita Haircut. She looks and feels great! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Took my English Bulldog here and he came home smelling just as dirty as when he was when he was dropped off. Called the place to let them know that I was not happy with their service and the lady started to scream at me telling me that she has been in business for over 30 years and has never had a complaint. Clearly has not read/heard about Yelp. I live in Garfield Ridge and am all about supporting neighborhood businesses. But this is the first and last time I will do business with Dog in Suds Grooming. When I called to complain she was extremely rude to me and even complained about my dog jumping all over her. Are you kidding me? Who has a business that deals with pets but doesn't like them jumping on them? Shame on them for not even making an effort in keeping a client happy. read more

LOVE Melanie. She is fantastic with my crazy pups. This new location is super convenient, I can walk there :)

I first visited this salon about 8 years ago. I rescued a very matted shelter dog in desperate need of shaving. I could not get an appointment with the other grooming salons that I have patronized for years. I called her shop after looking for a neighborhood groomer, explained my need. She was getting ready to close up but with such sincere understanding of my urgency she told me to come right over. We came and Melanie, did her magic and my little matted new family member looked beautiful. We continued to utilize her services until one of my babies passed away. We went to another foofy groomer, who did good work but didn't quite share the same sincerity as Melanie. We found her new location and our girls Libby and Sandi get their pampering there with Melanie and her team. Great neighborhood hospitality, quality and professional services. read more

Mel is the only person I trust. He always comes out looking happy and clean. Every time he has a different bandana looking cute. read more

Dog In Suds Grooming - My little baby - Pet Groomers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had the WORST experience in this place and if you are a new customer here they (the large owner)will rip you off completely! My friend recommended me to go here and he takes his 4 dogs here- all his dogs are the same size as mine which is a small shihtzu and he had already told me the pricing which should've been the same price he pays for his small dog...$50 each! Nope! Because I was a new customer I was charged $60!! She didn't think I would know any better and decided to charge me an extra $10 and when I called her out on it her response was "we charge $50 for good dogs, not ones that act up". Are you kidding me?!?! She said my dog was "unruly" and "very bad"! What dog likes to be groomed? My dog hates it just like any other dog! So maybe this isn't the business for her if she cannot control the dogs and keep them comfortable and calm! I've never had any issues with my dog at other groomers and to be quite honest they never want to give her back to me because they all fall in love with her! I was completely offended when she insulted my dog- that was just like insulting my child! Then to charge me more money because she said my dog was bad?!?!? Wow! The place was a dump! Extremely dirty and nasty and it smelled so awful of feces and urine the second I opened the door- granted I know it's a groomer but come on, clean it up! It was so utterly cluttered everywhere and messy and the service was despicable! She has no business being a business owner let alone a dog groomer! She treated my baby so horribly that my poor pup was depressed for 3 days and was limping around! Probably because they were yanking on her legs to try to cut her hair (they also said they couldn't finish her back leg due to her being "bad")! No wonder why my pup was so "unruly"....they were being so mean to her to begin with! Beware of this place because they definitely need to be reported to the health department!! read more

They actually listened to how I wanted my dogs groomed and did a terrific job. Took a little longer than my other groomer but their grooming came out much better than my old groomer. Will be bringing my dogs back here for sure. Giacomo and Luca say thanks for the bath and cut! read more

Fantastic grooming here. I brought my Maltipoozu for thefirst time in for a standard haircut, shampoo, nail trim, teeth cleaning, and anals. My doggie looked great. I mean fantastic. Definitely well skilled in groming on a professional level. Very sweet handling of my dog. I highly recommend this groomer for regular visit per grooming. read more

This is actually my very first yelp review EVER so please know that I'm beyond pissed if I'm leaving a review. The first time I brought my dog there he was so nervous he chewed through his leash, which he never has done before at a groomer. Of course they didn't offer to take something off for the price of the leash destroyed while they had him cooped up in a cage. I decided to give them a second chance and when I called to make the appointment Melanie specifically told me it would be $60 for a simple wash. I wrote this down because I am new to the area and was comparing the prices of the different shops. After my dog was dropped off and I called to ask them a question, I was told it was going to be $85 just for the wash. She refused to honor the price and basically called me a liar saying she would have never said that. So I wasted over an hour of going back and forth and didn't have him groomed. To me, an extra $25 is nothing but the point is that she called me a liar and was very unprofessional! I wouldn't even give this business a penny! read more

I have been taking my babies to different places over the years, but have never really been satisfied with the results. Whether it be the customer service or results of the grooming, there was always something I could of improved on. That was until I came here! The owner, Melanie, is so caring and sweet it made me feel safe dropping my babies off. Would highly recommend to anyone that truly cares about their animals. read more

Our cavapoo, Oliver, goes to Dogs In Suds Grooming and we are quite pleased. He gets a summer cut and they do a great job, no lines in his fur, and his ears are done just right since they have a tendency to mat quite quickly. The price is very reasonable for a wash, cut, claws, and gland purge. We usually walk-in (no appointment) and we'll usually get about a 3 or 4 hour time frame to pick him up; we plan accordingly. He's ALWAYS done when we get there and considering we don't make appointments, and they are always very busy on a Saturday, that's pretty good to give me a time and my dog is ready at that time--no waiting. I think we pay $40 for the works, plus a $5 tip; for an every other month summer cut, that is more than cost efficient for me! Check them out! They've been in business for over twenty years, from mother to daughter, so still family owned, and if you're in business for that long, you have got to be doing something right! read more

We have been taking Max to Dog and Suds for many years. He is 14 now and I wouldn't trust his grooming with anyone else.
