    They squeezed us in for a same day appointment and got our puppy looking great. Got a wash and cut.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! Walking in to the shop you see how clean and well kept it is but also feels like home and a place you are comfortable leaving your pup! After many groomers had canceled or rescheduled us for personal reasons or due to flooding lately, Brunos hair got out of control and matted. Our original groomer we took him to said shaving him to skin was our only option and that is not what we wanted at all! When I called Lucia she agreed to take a look at him and do her best and I am so grateful that I did because she took care of my baby Bruno so well! She cut him like I asked and saved his hair and you'd never know he had all that matting. I am so incredibly grateful to her! This place is amazing.

    I've been going to this place for almost 5 years. Unfortunately, my 1st dog died. I had no problems…read morewith the dog shop; I had a great experience, but when my dog Jake died, I bought another of the same breed, just a little smaller. I took him to the shop a few times and was okay with his cut. I have been going to this dog shop for almost five years. Unfortunately, my dog passed away. I had a great experience with the shop, but after my dog Jake died, I bought another dog of the same breed, though he is a little smaller. I took him to the shop a few times, and I was okay with his grooming However, a day before Easter, I took him in for a haircut, and I was shocked by what happened to my new dog, Mylo. I had specifically asked the groomer to cut the hair short from the waist down and just trim the ears and top to maintain the style I wanted. Instead, they cut him as if they only knew one basic trimming technique and skimmed his body from top to bottom. I know his hair will grow back, so that's not what upset me the most. When the groomer brought Mylo to me, he looked scared and nervous. The groomer mentioned that he accidentally nipped him and that he had applied medicine and a bandage sealer. At first, I thought the cut didn't look too bad, but when I got home, I discovered a deep gash on his skin. I took some pictures of the injury and tried to call the owner of the shop, but I haven't received a response.

    WARNING: My Experience Working at Palisades Pups -- A Message for Pet Owners…read more I worked at Palisades Pups beginning in January 2025, when I was just 16 years old. I stayed for around five-six months and returned briefly later in the year. I'm writing this because I believe pet owners, parents, and other young workers deserve to know what goes on behind the scenes. What I experienced was not just unprofessional -- it was unsafe, exploitative, and in many cases likely illegal. On my very first day, I was told to come in work clothes -- even though I hadn't technically been hired yet. I filled out a paper application, had a quick basement interview, and then was immediately put to work. I was never truly trained. I was simply told when the dogs get fed and cleaned, and then left alone to handle everything myself. The person who was supposed to train me -- an adult employee -- offered me a beer just minutes after asking my name. I was 16. He drank on the job in front of me. During my time there, I saw other employees regularly drinking alcohol and smoking weed or cigarettes while on duty, sometimes in the grooming room or yard. There was no real supervision. I worked illegal hours for a minor -- sometimes seven days in a row and shifts as long as 10 hours, especially on weekends. I was told to clean using bleach and other chemicals with no gloves, no mask, and dogs in the same space, inhaling those fumes. Things got worse when I was told to help "clean up" and "renovate" the basement by the owner -- where dogs are kept overnight. I was forced to do construction work that is completely illegal for a 16-year-old: I mixed concrete, used a jigsaw to cut wood, removed rusted nails from beams, and laid flooring in a moldy basement full of rat traps, dust, fur, and dirty cages. I was scared to say no, even when I got sick -- and had to beg to be allowed to take one day off to recover from a high fever, nausea, and headaches. After I left, I referred a friend to work there, and was eventually asked to return. I came back but was given only one 4-hour shift per week, which barely covered any of my costs. They kept me listed as "in training" for months, even though no one was training me anymore. I was suspended for 2 weeks when I missed a shift due to school detention -- despite showing them proof. Later, when I asked to switch shifts to take my cat to a free rabies vaccine event, they refused, citing a "90-day probation," even though I had already been back for over 90 days. Perhaps the most concerning issue of all: I witnessed dogs being physically hit by caretakers. Dogs left overnight were kept in a moldy, unsanitary basement, locked in cages from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. with no overnight staff, despite the business advertising "overnight care." The area had yellowed tubs, mold on the walls, sink water used for drinking and bathing, and fur everywhere. It was not a safe or healthy place for animals. Before I finally left for good, management told me they wanted me to begin grooming dogs once I finished 11th grade -- when I turned 17. However, you need a license in New Jersey to work as a groomer, and I had received zero formal training. They were planning to have me handle clippers, scissors, and other dangerous tools without any proper certification, putting both me and the animals at risk. I want to be clear: I love animals, and I took the job because I thought I'd be helping care for them. But what I saw was the opposite of care. Palisades Pups is not a safe place for pets or teen workers. I hope this helps others make informed choices -- whether you're thinking of working here or trusting them with your pet.
