Nothing but EXCELLENT things to say about this wonderful groomer. When Joey returned my initial inquiry phone call, he walked me through a questionnaire to get a sense of both me as a parent as well as our pup. He clearly has decades of experience, and loves what he does with a sincere passion. He has a very clear routine that helps each pip feel right at home in his presence. He also talked me through the whole experience when I picked our girl up, just to let me know how it all went and how she felt about it. There is no doubt that Joey genuinely loves the "children" (as he warmly refers to the pups) that come in. The cut itself came out great. No knicks or scrapes, and the length is exactly what we had asked for. He also did a great job balancing out the tricky parts of the face and head (we have a Goldendoodle, so the mustache, beard and eye can be pretty particular). The cut is only 5 days old now and is growing in really nicely. This man is SPECIAL, guys. I am so relieved to have found a groomer I can trust so implicitly! read more

Joe did a beautiful grooming on my Luna Bella. He made me feel at ease with his patience and kind manner. At my request, I met him before I entrusted him with my little girl, I later found out through other of his clients what an honorable business he runs, placing the needs of the kids (what he calls our four legged family members) ahead of the parents "wants". For example, he will not try to detangle a matted kid toca use pain to please the family. This is traumatizing and painful for the kids. As the old adage says "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Thank you for keeping me on track of my baby's grooming. You have earned our family's trust. read more

2 hour phone interview like we were applying for a job. Get appointment, go then turned away. He refers to pets as "His Kids" however he lacks a customer centric service experience and uncaring to negative impacts to customers for agreeing to provide a service only to then turn them away. PetCo does a great job.. read more

Joey is a nice guy.. but the first two visits I listened to him because my Bella's hair was pretty tangled. I just moved to the area . I came back today with her last cut not that long ago and she was cut uneven, sanitary areas not cleaned. I'm so disappointed and he told me i could come back for a FREE grooming which i wouldn't do because she's looked crazy for the THIRD time at this point! I couldn't get my money back because he's never done anything like that before. So why offer a free grooming! This was not worth 85.90! Oh and I tipped before I saw my baby. Go figure! read more

We've been taking our 1.5-year-old Shorkie here for just about a year now. My husband and I have been over the moon with how Joey has groomed our dog Shaq each and every time. It's not some standard, factory cut your dog would get at a big box store, and you can tell that Joey really cares for the pups, so we never have to worry. It's also great to get feedback about how we can better care for Shaq's coat in between cuts, which Joey is eager to share. The proof is in the pictures! read more

Joey is the BEST! I've been taking my Broodle (1/2 Brussels Griffon, 1/2 Toy Poodle) to him since we brought her home. She's almost 3 now. He's patient, kind, and completely unrattled. He truly loves the "kids" left in his care. Pebbles can be a bit of a diva, and gave him a run for the money at first, but she loves him to pieces now. Right after her July "spa day", I took her to a pet photographer for a photo-shoot. Last week I got a message that the photographer wanted to feature Pebbles on the COVER of her 2019 calendar!!! I'm positive it was Joey's perfect cut that snagged the spot for her. As an aside, Joey also groomed our first dog, from 1995 - 2010. Comet, a cocker spaniel, was a difficult customer. Not well behaved, didn't like people very much, and at times, combative. There were very few places I could bring him. Yet he never gave me grief about going to Joey. He was one of the few people that Comet behaved for. While it took me 5 1/2 years to muster the courage to get another dog, there was never any doubt that there's no one else I'd trust my Pebbles with. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Joey and his pet grooming services. I was so nervous to take our new puppy to get groomed because you hear so many horror stories, but Joey was incredible. He was so kind, gentle, and careful with our puppy. He did such an amazing job with his haircut and nails. I would recommend his services to anyone! read more

I've just moved to Scarsdale and was in need of a groomer for my Miniature Poodle, Stella. She is a sweet girl but always needs a little extra TLC when it comes to grooming. I had originally made an appointment with another groomer who only asked her breed and name. They were less than accommodating in terms of when I was able to bring her in. I kept searching and found Bow Meow on Yelp. I decided to give them a call and see if they could get me in sooner. Not only did they get me in right away, but Joey spend a good amount of time with me asking about my dog's level of comfort with the grooming process, medical issues, skin sensitivities etc. I immediately felt more comfortable bringing my darling girl here, so I canceled the appointment at the other place. When I brought Stella in, she was very nervous at first (the smart girl has always been edgy when she sees me pack for vacation, so imagine how she was feeling after moving to a new place!). Joey spent a good amount of time with me again, discussing the intricacies of grooming a Poodle and what my preferences are. Joey was very patient with her and gave me a detailed report of her first day there. It was clear throughout the entire experience that he loves dogs and would treat any dog that comes in as his own. I will say that the price of her grooming was a little more than I had in mind, but you get what you pay for here. I will definitely be bringing her back! read more

They do a great job, both in terms of the quality of the grooming and the way that they treat both the dogs and owners. They are accomodating, in terms of schedule, and always have the dog ready on-time. read more

This man is the goat. When I tell you he has been the best groomer I have ever found. This man works with you and dog to build a relationship to make sure your dog looks their best. read more

Saw Joey today for a bath and a haircut for our medium-sized Chow Golden mix. We found Joey to be very knowledgeable and professional. Our dog looks great and we're very happy with our new groomer. We highly recommend this terrific groomer. read more

I met Joey for the first time when I brought my rescue pup, Milo to him for grooming this summer. Joey and I had several conversations prior to me bringing Milo in where he asked questions about my preferences, Milo's background, and explained his whole process in complete detail. He was so unbelievably thorough and beyond professional. (I don't even get this kind of treatment when I get a haircut :o ). During our calls he would refer to the dogs as the "kids" which I felt was such a genuine display of how he truly feels and treats his clients. Most groomers I had contacted prior to Joey when inquiring were just insisting on dropping off for the day, but when speaking with Joey, he on his own suggested bringing Milo in on a day that was quiet so that he can come in and go right home early. I was unsure how Milo would look with a haircut as he has long, coarse, wire hair but when I picked him up from Joey's I was absolutely blown away! Milo looked amazing with not a single piece of fur out of place and attention to detail everywhere. It was evident that Joey clearly has the patience of a saint to meticulously make every spot look so perfect! I couldn't have been more happy that I stumbled upon Joey and am now happy to say that Milo will now happily be a new FURever client! read more

Joey is the best when it comes to grooming pets. My cockapoo, Midnight always looks like a fresh new puppy every time she goes for her haircut/ bath, read more

I've been looking for a good groomer for my bichon and now I've finally found one! Joey was so nice, he made sure I felt comfortable with the haircut beforehand and even called before cutting her tail to make sure I would be okay with it. Nowhere else does this! You can tell he actually cares about his work and especially the dogs. My dog came home happy and excited unlike usually when she comes back shaking and exhausted. He knew she was shy, so he let her just take time and relax before starting. Even though she had to get a short hair cut (my fault for her matting), her face is perfectly done and adorable! Bow Meow is officially my groomer for my dog. I'll never send her any where else again. FYI it's cash or check only! read more

Joe is absolutely fantastic with my dog Snow. He's a Maltese and Joe gives him the best cut and care every time I come here. Joe know's how to make an pet owner feel comfortable and reassured. Joe really cares about your pet as if it was his own and it shows through his work and my dogs love for him. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

He came recommended to me and was actually a nightmare-like, hellish experience for both myself and my dog. He mishandles dogs and I wonder if he has had any formal pet groomer training. I'd love to see the certificate... Either way, you couldn't pay me to go back. Bow Meow doesn't even deserve one star. read more

I'm surprised to be the first one writing a review, as Bow Meow has been around for a very long time now - and with good reasoning. I took my 7 month old Mini-Schnauzer here for his first grooming ever. Monk's hair was overgrown and matting terribly in certain areas, so we took it here for him to get the proper cut. Well, we dropped him off in the morning but got a call back an hour later from Joe (I believe), who said that he didn't want to continue cutting Monk's hair because he was too uncomfortable, and didn't want to traumatize his first groom experience. To me, that is the most impressive thing any groomer can do - exercise control, value of the customer and animal, all while making no profit (He didn't let us pay). Joe practically cleaned, cut and trimmed all of Monk, but wouldn't let us pay because he couldn't finish through. I'm sure if I took my buddy to PetCo or any other large chain, he would've been restrained and traumatized by some heartless ***hole. Nonetheless, Monk actually looks great even though Joe wasn't able to finish. He was compassionate to our puppy, knew to call us right away and even didn't let us pay as a courtesy. It is very very hard to find service like this these days. I will be going to BowMeow again and will be recommending them to my friends and strangers. I highly suggest you give them a try, and no, this message was not endorsed by BowMeow. read more

The best in the business. Joey cares about your pet, and knows that a dog is a family member, and always takes great care during groomings. He work's with you on schedule and his work is top notch. read more

My wheaton has been a customer of Bow Meow since he was a pup. Joey has always been a patient and caring groomer. Kobe loved to visit the salon and always came out looking great and smelling clean. Joey is a wonderful groomer and nice guy. Our Kobe was recently very ill and when we needed to get him in for a quick grooming Joey always accomodated us. Sadly we won't be needing Joey's service any longer but if we get another dog in the future we will certainly continue to be a client of Bow Meow. read more

I've been going to Bow Meow for more than 10 years with various pets and Joey is the best. He treats my 5 year old Maltese Yorkie mix as if he is a family member and he genuinely cares about the animals. I feel safe knowing that my dog is in a sort of cubby type area and not locked in a cage when the grooming is done. Joey goes over details when you arrive asking what is new if there is any problems since you've seen him last and then gives a full report when you pick up your dog. I recommend Bow Meow to anyone who wants quality work by a professional that cares about your pet as much as you do. read more

So glad to have found this place! Joey is extremely thorough. It is clear that he cares about your pet and his work. My only recommendation is that he change the sign above his shop that still shows All State so others can find him also! read more

Friendly and knowledgeable--real dog people and Kip loves them.

I've been going to see Joey for my Labradoodle for years now and he is truly amazing. Not just in his talent for grooming but in his compassion towards the wellbeing of your "kids" as he puts it. He is a man who loves animals through and through and will make sure that you are happy and that your furry friend is happy too! read more

Joey is simply the best...always accommodating busy schedules. We bring our mini golden doodle up from Gramercy Park because Joey consistently grooms him best....and truly care about his work and our pet...Jeanette read more

I would highly recommend Bow Meow. I 1st brought my Bouvier to Joey when she was a puppy and for 12 years I was always happy with the service of Joey and his staff. Joey was always attentive to my needs and would always accommodating to my needs and schedule. He was especially attentive to the needs and moods of my Rosie. He treated them as his own children. Although Rosie is gone, I will always think highly of Joey and Bow Meow. read more

1st visit to Bow Meow today and this place was GREAT for our dog. Our dog is a rescue dog who came to us with some anxiety issues; he is a nervous guy and usually he shakes and is visibly frightened when we leave him off with the groomer. Today was his 1st visit to Bow Meow and he was unbelievably super-comfortable from the get-go. His comfort level was a little surreal. He kind of walked in as if he owned the place! He had no problem with us leaving him -- none, whatsoever. He seemed perfectly happy, and didn't look back. Grooming took a little longer than usual, but when we came to get him, he wasn't nervous, he was perfectly relaxed, there were no problems, and he actually was trying to get back inside! Oh, and the grooming itself--fabulous! Our dog is an 11 year old Bichon-Poodle mix and he looked GREAT, smelled great, and had no knots--anywhere. Love, love, love this place--I think the owner is extremely interested in your pet's best interest. He is a wonderful man. Bring your dog here, you will not regret it in any way. read more

We used Bow Meow for the first time today and I was very impressed. The owner, Joey, truly loves dogs, and you immediately feel like your pet is in excellent hands when you arrive. My Tibetan Terrier, Charlie, had some matting I didn't even know he had -- Joey found it, called me to let me know the appointment would take a little longer, and then had Charlie ready exactly when he said he'd be ready, matting-free. The cut was flattering, clean and even, and Charlie smelled terrific. Absolutely planning to return. read more

You cant get any better! Joey the owner and groomer is the most amazing groomer. His care of your dog is truly like his own. We have relocated to Colarado and still come back to NY to groom our Maltese. Joey has been an advisor to us as well as our groomer. He will give you advise on anything about dogs (kids too!). His has extensive knoweldge of dogs in every way. When Joey grooms our dog he takes time to make sure that all is ok with his skin, hair etc. If anything doesnt look right or if Lucky was extra fussy is a particular area, Joey will let us know. It is so important to have a groomer that cares about the whole dog! You can call him at any time with any questions you may have about your dog and if he can answer he will! And of course, Lucky always looks so handsome. Joey is more than a groomer he becomes a part of your family! Please go to Bow Meow. You will not be disappointed! Promise read more

Joey does a great job not only grooming but caring for the owners opinion and the dogs comfort. He is great with newcomers! My dog had never been groomed before and had a very easy tradition. She was not by any mean "traumatized" by the experience. Joey is very accommodating and knows the do's and don'ts of grooming. We will definitely be back! read more

After reading the reviews I thought I would give this pricey business a try. My poor baby was so traumatized by the experience I will never take her back. She hid under the bed for the entire day afterward and wouldn't eat. Owner said she nipped at him several times . I have never had any other groomer ever tell me this, just the opposite that my dog was an angel every time. Also the " grooming" was poor at best, looked as if she had barely been trimmed at all. I've had better grooming done at Petco. There was something "off " about the owner too, should of trusted my gut feeling. I feel so bad about the whole experience. Not returning. read more

We recently relocated to Ardsley, NY and were in need of a groomer for our two senior westies. after doing a quick search (and a few drive-bys of the shop) we made an appointment and took our dogs to Bow Meow. Though my dogs were nervous when we arrived, Joey got down on the floor to pet them and show them love and they quickly calmed and had a great experience - they looked fabulous when I picked them up too! He treats my dogs as if they're his pets/family - and I love that he calls them " the kids" or "the girls". Upon arrival at our first appointment, we went over their health and grooming history and any skin issues they had recently (i figured that was becasue we were new). But on my next visit Joey spent the same amount of time with me reviewing recent activities/skin issues/etc. - its because he cares and is so very thorough - he does this each visit! When we pick them up, we get a full report on their day and anything he found out of the ordinary on their coats. Fantastic local business, we'll continue to take our furbabies to Bow Meow - highly recommend this groomer for your pets! read more
