Went for the first time to get a nail trimming and ear cleaning for my dog. She's usually terrified of nail trimmings, but they did a great job calming her down through the process. The atmosphere is open and friendly- you can see everything behind the counter! The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. We'll definitely be going back :) read more

They trim my little dogs nails every six weeks. She's 10 pounds of wild and I'm truly thankful for the team there.

I've been taking dogs to this business for over 45 years including the prior owners. They consistently provide top level care and attention to my most love pets. They are professional and friendly and do a great cut and bath, etc.. read more

First time I took my dog I was happy. Second time he was cut in few places and I was not informed, anything can happened but I wish they would have told me. I decided to try it again. I had an appointment at 09:00 and was told he be ready 12/1. I called at 2pm and was informed my dog would not be ready till 5pm, they informed me he was not obedient and neglected, FYI he is a working dog so very obedient. I decided to go get him at 2:30, he was strapped by the wall, wet (so he was just washed), nothing else was done from 09:00. I asked how much I owe, payed (which I should not). Just imagine what kind of stress the dog goes thru sitting there from 9-5?? My dog will not be returning!!! read more

We are first time owners and took our Goldendoodle for her first cut. They did an amazing job and can't wait to go back. Thanks for answering all my questions read more

Dog In Suds - Dog - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

This place is fantastic. I've taken my pup to a couple places to get his grooms. Dog in Suds is always efficient and clean. He comes home with perfectly filed nails, clean fur between the toes, and nice even shave. His big head looks even bigger to his perfectly trimmed body. They do such a good job that it takes him longer to get to the furry mess he usually is. I posted a picture, before and after of Hammy. Thats him before his cut and after. Quite different yet just as handsome looking pup. Love these guys, worth the drive to get there. They give good advice about certain things such as ear hair and their butt glands. Never pushy or rude. read more

Dog In Suds - my furball of a pup, Hammy, before and after! Voila! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

I've never had a dog that needed grooming before, so I got a recommendation from a guy at the breed rescue where i got my dog. They were super friendly on the phone, walking me through the costs and what that included. They did a great job with my Airedale who came in with a fluffy winter coat and left with a "show dog" cut. The groomer even came out and talked to me afterwards and explained other things she could do next time around if I preferred. I thought the price was also reasonable. The only negative here is that my dog didn't smell like anything afterwards - usually they come home from a bath smelling good for a few days. She didn't smell bad necessarily, but I was missing that "clean dog" smell. In any case, I'm sure we'll be back here sometime in the near future! read more

Dog In Suds - Bailey before and after her trip to Dog In Suds! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Most of the reviews on here for Dog in Suds in Palatine are very old. I have been taking my Bearded Collie there for 7 years and will never take him again. They used to be really good but they aren't any more. I've given them a couple of chances to get back on track but the last time I took my dog there was an incident. When I picked Wrigley up and got him home he was acting strange, almost like he was afraid. When I would reach for him he would recoil. He was also licking one of his paws. I know my dog and I knew something was wrong. I can't prove what happened so I'm not going to go into detail but Wrigley should have been on an antibiotic and on pain meds but because they didn't tell me I didn't know. We're a few weeks out and he seems to be getting back to his old self but sometimes if I walk too close to him he cries out and starts shaking. I'm so mad at them! Were they kind to him after they hurt him? And on top of it, he got a terrible haircut. read more

I was very irritated today. I've tried this groomer several times and after 3 visits thought one more and then make decision I have a sm pup. apparently because my pup at 5 months is now an adult they more than doubled grooming fee without notice and did not bathe dog. additionally hair cut left much to be desired. will be finding a different Groomer. read more

I have been bringing my Siberian Husky to Dog In Suds for 2 years now after my neighbor recommended them. Deb and her daughter do a wonderful job, my dog comes out looking like a show dog. They are so good with him and he loves going to get groomed. I just brought my first foster dog to them this past week, she is older and was in rough shape, she was also very scared. They were so kind and made her look beautiful, she honestly looked like a different dog when I went to pick her up! She looked 5 years younger! She even acted different afterward, she's been a little more confident and happier ever since! I literally left in tears. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Everyone in the area should bring their dogs here! This family deserves all of Palatine's business. read more

Dog In Suds - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

I needed to find a new groomer as our old one went out of business. I'm happy to have found this place because they have great prices and my dog is always done within 2 hours of dropping him off. What I appreciate the most is their care for my dog. He is an old and blind dachshund mix - he's always very scared/timid when we go anywhere. Every time I've brought him here for his baths, they remember that he is a blind and they handle him with great care. It makes me feel so happy and relieved. read more

Very disappointed in this groomer that we have used a number of times. We have a 12 year old well-behaved Sheltie with weak rear legs. They told me he was too much of a problem to groom because he needs to sit down periodically. Would not recommend if your dog has any special needs. read more

We have a goldendoodle and have had one bad experience with PetSmart grooming (they ran the clippers straight up his snout and he had no hair left on his face!) so we have been nervous ever since! I read reviews of this place and hoped for the best. The reviews were thankfully accurate! The girls were so sweet and listened intently to what I wanted and looked at the pictures I brought. They also wrote down everything they did so when I bring him next time they'll know what to do. Our pup looks great!!! Thank you!!! read more

Dog In Suds - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

After a few times of going to this establishment, the management suddenly says my dear dog is too difficult to give a haircut. Also, they were extremely offensive on the phone. I am not going back to this place!! read more

Our dog always looks great when we pick him up from being groom. Their prices are extremely reasonable when compared to places like PetSmart. Their staff are always friendly and accommodating. However, this place is popular so you will usually need to book ahead. read more

We are new to the area and decided to give Dogs in Suds a try for our puppy. Just like the consultation I get with my hair stylist, the groomer greeted me by asking what I'd like done for my dog. When I picked him up, he looked great! The groomer, who I believe was Cara, was very nice and professional! I do agree with the other reviewer that they must use a low fragrance shampoo. I also noticed that all of the other dogs seemed very relaxed in comparison to other groomers I have been to! read more

Dog In Suds - The after... - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

See all

Our dog got skunked at night and I left an urgent message after hours. Dog in Suds called first thing the next morning and squeezed him in right away. They did an AMAZING job getting him cleaned and smelling good again! What a lifesaver - THANK YOU!! read more

Niiiice! Wow! They helped our son's dog go from a full body Einstein crazy hair look to a sweet cuddly teddy bear. I am watching our son and daughter-in-law's dog while they are at the hospital for the arrival of their new son and I offered to have their dog groomed. I rely on reviews and chose a groomer who sounds like they listen well. I wasn't disappointed, Dog In Suds in Palatine trimmed his look just as his home groomer does. He smells clean, not overpowering, and the service was reasonably priced. I plan on taking him back here in the future when he visits us. I am looking forward to a continued relationship with the very nice staff. Their shop looked cleaned and busy for a weekday. Easy parking. read more

Dog In Suds - They took years off my look in one session. Now I have my puppy face again! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

We've been going here for a few years and are happy with the cut for our bichon/cavalier spaniel. My sister was looking for a groomer for her Maltese and these folks were super nice, got her in the next day, and everyone's happy. Kind, happy, professional service. read more

I love these people! I've been taking Bruce to Dog In Suds for many years. They clearly love dogs. The care they have shown to my (now) ancient Lab goes far beyond what I would expect. And as I see the dogs coming in before and after us, it's clear they feel the same for every dog that comes into their care. Prices are reasonable. The place is an open book-- you can see everything that's happening behind the counter. The staff is friendly. They remember us from visit to visit, even when it's been a while. Bruce comes home clean and dry, with clipped nails and (usually) sporting a bandanna. Can't say enough about this great local business! Chuck read more

I have been coming here for 6 years now. I have tried other groomers but there is nothing like Dog in Suds. The ladies are terrific. My dog is 13 years old and can't really get around a lot and they treat her with such kindness and are so gentle that I have no worries leaving her there for a couple of hours to get groomed. I thank you and so does Pumkin.:) By the way, I drive 15 miles just to bring my dog here. That's how good they are. read more

We were looking for a new groomer after 10 years with the same one and brought our dog in here on a recommendation. I said, " strip him down, all over with a schnauzer face." I picked him up 3 hours later looking like an eye brow less, Unshaped faced, fluff ball!!! The only thing they did was scissor trim him here and there and wash a poof him up. Even our neighbors were like what happened to him? I just keep saying, "I paid for this?!!" Not happy! Plus the girl at the desk was full of piss and vinegar! Rude!! read more

im surprised there arent any reviews here, but its ok i got this... ive been coming here with my dog dolce for 7 years now... they were so nice when i rescued Dolce, they even told us that he had an ear infection from his previous owner. we take my lhasa once a month for cut, shampoo, ears , nails and even the butt squeeze thing that they do.. and my dog loves coming and prices are very reasonable! friendly staff! Thank you Dog in Suds! read more

Our standard labradoodle had so many unfortunate hair cuts before we found Dog In Suds. They know exactly how to cut according to breed and personal requests. We have since moved away from palatine but continue to make the drive to Dog In Suds because they are so great at what they do! read more

Love them! The staff is very kind & caring. They accept walk ins for nail clips, which is very convenient.

I always bring my three red-headed doxies here for nails and anal expression. The girls are wonderful and have a great way with my sometimes rowdy little threesome. They are particularly sensitive to my dogs needs. Bonnie read more

Cheery, friendly girls behind the counter. They were happy to get me on last-minute. Quick and effective. Will be going back, soon.

We just moved to Palatine from the city and found the perfect dog groomer. Great job ladies, Wilson looks great !

We love this place as does our pooch. Best price around for quality grooming. They are great with our senior dog and ate very efficient getting her all spruced up. read more

I brought my dog for the first time to Dog In Suds last week in Palatine. I was very disappointed from the time I walked in just at the lack of professionalism and friendliness. That should have been my first warning. Upon bringing my dog home I realized a few days later that they had expanded his collar and while walking my dog he slipped out of his collar and started to walk away. My dogs collar has never been adjusted as it fits perfect as my vet is the one that adjusted at the first time. I called dog in suds and spoke with the owner and asked if it's normal practice to readjust the dogs collars and let her know that my dog had gotten out of his collar while being walked she got very rude told me that they never adjust collars... And I know for a fact that the adjustment happened there. And then she hung up on me. I would definitely not recommend this place just for their lack of professionalism and if you do go there check your dogs collar. read more

Shame on you Kay from Dog In Suds in Palatine. You turned my pedigree white Scottie dog into a mutt. You took it upon yourself to completely shave his entire body down to his skin. Our dog breed requires a specific cut to maintain his Scottie appearance in keeping of generations of Scotties before him. If you were unable to give him a professional haircut, you should have given us a choice so we could take him to someone who could. Over the years my husband who is the one that drops Bailey off for his grooming always complains about Kay's snarky attitude. And shame on the owner of Dog In Suds. When I complained about the cut and how my dog is now unrecognizable, she responded with "did you want your dog to be a bloody mess"? And then she hung up on me. How unprofessional! At $48.00 plus tip I would expect better treatment. But I guess they figure he's thirteen years old and he won't be bringing in revenue too much longer. Shame on you Dog In Suds! read more

We've been going to this groomer for several years. My dog is very comfortable here and the owner and daughter really know their stuff. I also love the smell of the shampoo they use - no cologne for my pup! Highly recommend! read more

We have been taking our 2 dogs here for the past 8 years. Although we have moved to Madison, WI, Dog In Suds has remained our one and only groomer. While we are in the Chicago land area regularly, we have even made special trips back for the dogs. We seriously love Dog In Suds that much and do not think we could ever find a better groomer. Our sweet cockapoo and feisty Wheaton terrier mix always leave happy and with the cutest hair cuts. Thank you Dog In Suds! read more

Excellent Groomers. Friendly staff.i have a French Bulldog and i always bring our dog to Dog and Suds and they always have our dog groomed in a fast time frame . read more

Really friendly atmosphere the ladies there are always in a good mood, my dog is usually there for about an hour wonderful service.

E X C E L L E N T G R O O M E R S - I highly recommend Dog in Suds because they do a phenomenal job; the staff are all professional, kind and talented. We have been going there for years and every time they have done. a perfect job grooming our dog. read more

Such wonderful care is given to our two kinda barky yorkies. They always come back looking superb.

I love this place, I bring my pit bull Harley there all the time. He's a big ole baby and hated getting groomed but the ladies at the shop always treated him like their own. It's gotten to the point that he actually enjoys going and now it's the only place I take him. I highly recommend this groomer to all of my friends and they thank me all the time for the recommendation once they take their own dogs. read more

Love coming to Dog In Suds. All of the staff are extremely friendly. If the dogs are a bit frightened, they have tons of patience. It's the only place I take my dogs. Love the drop in service for toe nail trims ! ! ! read more

I called to make an appointment and they got us in the next day. I have a 5-year-old 65-pound collie who barks a lot and is the nervous type. They did a beautiful job on him. The vet couldn't even trim his nails, but no problem at Dog In Suds. He was done in two hours. He is so soft and beautiful, I can't stop petting him. Thanks to the crew there. I am sure he drove them nuts. I'll be back if they will have me! read more
