I have been going to this location for at minimum eight years and I don't know what happened to this store if it is new management or what but the quality of service has gone downhill extremely they repeatedly tell me they have to shave my dog who has a complicated coat but is not matted It's them I believe being lazy and not wanting to deal with it. Every time I have found a decent groomer they leave right away. The turnover is extremely high. I'm done. I'm done with this location and I'm done with being gaslit about my dog. Especially when I brushed him three days ago and I know he's not tangled. read more

Update: the manager personally reached out to me to apologize and try and make things right which I really appreciated. GAME CHANGER! I have never seen my dog look so adorable and so clean and happy after a haircut. Truly one of the best haircuts I've seen on a dog. As I mentioned, I'm new to the small dog club so I wasn't sure what to tell her I wanted and she just took it and ran with it and did AMAZING. The customer experience and this new groomer completely turned my opinion around and I will definitely be returning read more

Allie is such a wonderful groomer! Also, Cypress who works at the front desk is so great. He's always so friendly and helpful. The selection of food is also really good. read more

As much as I love my dog, he can be a total pain in the a** when it comes to getting groomed; even though he is so sweet and loving at home-- he is pretty shy and hates getting baths. I honestly don't know what I would do without Julie and the rest of the Kriser's team. I've been taking Brady to get groomed here for a couple of years now and Julie always goes above and beyond to make sure Brady feels comfortable; while still giving him a rockstar haircut! Thank you, so much, Julie and team! read more

This store was much better before the expansion. The management and sales people are sooooo rude! It's like your doing them a favor by being in their store. The groomers were great with my pet but now I will NEVER go back due to the rude attitudes!!!! read more

Just a couple of words, The Best! Have worked with several groomers as well as groomers at other Kriser's stores, Rachel and Tracy can and do handle our loved ones with care, compassion and expertise. Everybody has their own little pickle things but have been with them for a while and never have experienced any problems. Give them a chance, you will not be disappointed. Update: Many visits since first review! Still the Best! read more

Our dog was matted after six months in the woods, rolling in sand and sap. Groomer did a magnificent job shaving him down. Not an easy job.

Remember Lamb Chop?!? This is the song that never ends... okay I'll stop. I saw a giant Lamb Chop in the window walking by. By giant I mean like pretty much the size of my pug. Of course what pug doesn't need a life sized lamb chop so I bought it for him. Brought lamb chop home and my pug loved him so much that he decided to kill the one squeaker in him within 10 minutes or so then after about an hour later he ripped open the back of him. Don't worry I saved Lamb Chops life and plan on stitching him back up in no time. Moving on... all the other toys seems reasonably priced. Leash and collar prices not too bad. Then of course the cutest sweaters and coats were pricey. Saw a packable raincoat by the checkout... how cute right!? If they had the size and color I wanted I would have definitely bought it. They have cute little decorated doggie treats! At the checkout ... I saw these adorable little knitted cat toys filled with catnip. And in true consumer fashion I had to buy some even though I don't own a cat. But of course I know people with cats so as you could have guessed, I gave the cat toys to them. So what are you waiting for if you're a dog or cat owner... or a friend of a dog or cat owner? Treat your furbaby to a new toy or treat! read more

I never leave reviews but have to leave one for the vet clinic at Kriser's. Every other city vet has a month + wait time. I've actually been ubering to the suburbs to go to the vet since I don't have a car, which adds up! I decided to call the Kriser's vet and I'm SO glad I did. Not only was the vet staff was beyond friendly, informative, kind, genuine, and treated my puppy like their own... but they also got her in DAY OF. Truly unheard of in this city!! I couldn't believe it. I'm so grateful for this practice and had to sing their praises. read more

Since the expansion...Kriser's has always been our pups "go-to". They are most definitely amazing. Expansion and implementation is a process. Get it. Keep rocking it Kriser's! read more

Shoutout for Allie who groomed my shihtzu Gus yesterday. His hair was really long so he was overdue for a cut. When we arrived Allie came out to greet us and listened to me describe my preferred length for his beard, ears, coat in general. When I returned a few hrs later Gus looked like a new dog. His coat was just the right length, not too short and his face, head and ears looked amazing. Fantastic job. Thank you Allie!!​ read more

After posting the original review, I ended up speaking to the district manager and really appreciated being heard. I have loved going to that location but a bad apple really spoiled the bunch and soured my experience. They have handled my concerns, I took my dog for her regular grooming with Julie (she's the best groomer and just the sweetest person ever)!!! Millie got spoiled and received the royal treatment! I greatly appreciate the call that I received afterwards from a friendly man to see how things were and how my overall experience was. That's true customer service and happy to see some semblance of that returning! read more

Brought our puppy here for his first grooming. He looked pretty ridiculous when we picked him up. His ears were barely cleaned and the hair around his eyes was cut but not his eyelashes.... Also they couldn't manage to cut any of his hair. And they still charged us full price. We'll be going somewhere else next time. read more

Lani and Austin @ Kriser's Lincoln Park are AMAZING! I rescued a puppy from Paws this winter and have been taking her the Krisers for day care! Austin & Lani go above and beyond taking care of your fur baby . They care for my girl as if she was their own. The facility is super clean, they do training exercises, give tons of love and support each and every day! If you are looking for a facility in Lincoln Park you found it! read more

Over the last year, I have learned a lot about dog products and which ones I feel good about giving my pup Maggie. While Kriser's can sometimes be on the pricey side compared to online stores, I think their braided rawhides are high quality with the best price. Maggie goes crazy for them! She especially loves the vanilla flavor. Other flavors include plain, beef, chicken, and liver. Another thing to note is that I have had nothing but great customer service every time I come in. Maggie always gets a loving greeting and a treat! As if she isn't spoiled enough... Maggie and I are both very satisfied with Kriser's. read more

Read the coupons carefully. 10% off purchases....fine print "order online then pick up in the store." The other coupon expired the day before my visit. It just seems in the spirit of good business they would've honored one. It doesn't make much business sense, they did not close down due to COVID, if anything people stocking up helped their business. It truly is a dog eat dog world out there. Businesses are gonna do everything they can to take advantage of consumers now. Just another sad statement for the 2020 archives. read more

We take our dog (who hates baths) here regularly and they are so good with her! She comes out perfect everytime. We also do all of our pet food shopping here because that have what we are looking for and have variety. read more

Matt!!!!!!! I'm a first time customer. I just moved here from Vegas took a few days to drive across the country and just wanted to find a groomer to groom my Dachshund mix Sheeba Swift... they made a spot for me. I walked in I was greeted by Matt ... he blew my socks off. And was so kind. His energy radiated. My queen looks like a million bucks. Then IRONICALLY later in the day I was having pizza at a close by pizza shop and I seen him walk in. Here he is off the clock trying to enjoy his lunch and was so sweet and kind to me! I'll never ever ever go to another groomer. Even when I move to Gold Coast I'll still come here!!!! A million thank you's ... read more

Sarah did an awesome job hand grooming my dog! I requested a long, shaggy cut with no electric trimmer. She did exactly what I asked for. This shampoo and cut took three hours! Who else would have taken the time to cut it exactly to my specifications? read more

My husband and I decided to switch groomers for our two dogs after a bad experience at another place. We have purchased food and treats at Kriser's but I am not sure why we hadn't used them for grooming before today. We could not have been happier with our experience. The groomer, Matt, was so professional and genuinely listened to our requests and was so sweet with both dogs. They looked so good afterwards and can honestly say it's their best haircut they have ever had. We will definitely be going back. Thank you Matt! read more

These guys absolutely get me and my little guys. They are expert groomers with the perfect touch every time. My pets love to see them and they always look perfect every time. I couldn't be happier to have found them here in the city read more

I brought my dog here for a bath last week, and I couldn't be happier. The staff was so kind, and my dog was softer than she's ever been before! Her black coat was shiny and clean all in less than 30 minutes. I barely had time to drive home and back! The only negative was the price -- $60 for just a bath for a 50 lb dog seems high. But luckily, there's a Yelp coupon for your first time! And honestly, their customer service combined with how squeaky clean my dog was, and I'll probably keep coming back. Bonus: Kriser's is a great pet store too! There's more selection than other boutique pet stores but the quality is levels above big stores like Petco. They were also super sweet when my lab mix knocked over a whole shelf of shampoo with her tail :) read more

I had a STELLAR experience today. I asked an associate for a recommendation on a bag of Soft treats, and what I got in return was one of the best customer experiences I've had. She took me around to about 6 different types of treats and explained everything about them, down to how the companies started and why the treat would be good for my puppy. She went above and beyond to really explain what types of treats my pup would like and was so patient and kind. Well above what I expected! read more

Sergio was so helpful for grooming products! He also showed me how to cut out a matted part of my pups hair without hurting her. I have not used Petco for grooming, but because of Sergio I might switch my groomer to him! read more

Great pet store! They have Fromm dog food, which is what we use for our dog. We also have gotten him toys and treats, as well as a winter coat from here. The people that work here are very friendly too! This store is located close to Paws and across the street from another pet store. The diffrence is that Kriser's is all natural! read more

Beware of going to this place for grooming. When they called me to pick up my dog they told me she'd "given herself a bloody nose" -- well, it'd be the first time in 13 years that she'd ever had a bloody nose, so color me suspicious. They also left her looking like a total doofus, with short and long patches all over her body and a totally untrimmed, uncleaned face. Background: my dog is 13 and doesn't love being groomed -- what older pup does? But I've been grooming her 2-3x/yr for 10 years after adopting her sweet little mega-mutt self when I was in college. There's only been one time in all those years where she was too anxious to be groomed, and we give her Rescue Remedy to calm her down a bit. Nothing different this time around. We went to Kriser's Clybourn for Zena's second Kriser's grooming appointment there. (Well, except for the first appointment, they failed to put it into the computer, so when we showed up they had no time for her and had to refer us to another of their locations, which did a fantastic job of grooming my little monkey). Jessica, our groomer, seemed unconfident and nervous, which is not a great mix with a skittish pup. I had a not-so-great feeling after talking with her, but we were already there and the dog was already sedated. This isn't going to happen again. She called us nearly 2 hours later to tell us that Zena had given herself a bloody nose which, as I mentioned above, is just not the case. Maybe they weren't handling her gently and they smashed her sweet little snout into the side of the basin, or jammed her into a crate or something, but this dog has never bled ever in her entire life. No nose bleed, no injuries, no nothing. We raced over to pick her up, and I walked in with "Hi, we're here to pick up our bleeding dog" (which, btw, really gets a reaction). When the guy gave me a "huh?" face, I said "well I hope it's not hard to find her back there with a description like that" (at which point my fiance shot me a please-be-nice look) ;) She was patchy, with long and short areas, and her face hair was untrimmed and dirty. When they opened the cage she was cowering in the corner and barely moved when she saw me -- this dog jumps on her hind legs when I leave the room and return a moment later. TL;DR. I'll never take her back to this location and I'll make sure nobody I know goes there for grooming. I will, however, go back to the other location. Stick with Milwaukee Ave! Unless, of course, you want to get a dog back filthy, ungroomed, and bleeding ... read more

I love this store! Call me crazy, but I had no idea a store like this even existed. That is until I found myself walking around my new neighborhood in Lincoln Park. The staff is BEYOND knowledgeable. I told the gentleman helping me (Don, I believe) that I would bring a pen and paper for notes next trip because there was a lot to take in about life past Iams. I was feeding my dog food that was not good for him at all and noticing a decline in his health. It's been two weeks since I switched to the food Don recommended and I already can see a change for the better. That along with probiotics (yes, for dogs. I know, right?!) and recommendation for a holistic vet has really turned my guy's world around. Can't say enough about this place. Definitely give Kriser's a whirl! read more

This is the haircut my dog got for $91+tip(see the picture). RIDICULOUS! I wanted to give this Kriser's one more chance since last time they canceled my appointment 40 minutes prior to the appointment, and this time I'm so upset with the "service" that was provided. This location is the closest to my house but I will try out other locations instead of going here again. read more

Kriser's Natural Pet - Didn't even care to check if it's even - Pet Stores Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Kriser's on Clybourn is my favorite pet boutique. I just wish I lived closer! Why do I love Kriser's? I love their mix/match 10% off case discount for wet food (because really, who wants to eat the same thing every single day?), I love the people, I love the managers dog Olly, I love the open, well lit, organized space. I love the accessible parking. I also love the fact that my favorite groomer (from PetCo down the road) is now employed there! They carry the brands my cats love, BFF, Instinct, Weruva. The only reason I go to any other store is because Acana is my cat's kibble of choice and sadly Kriser's does not stock it. If you want the best choices in terms of treats, toys and grooming for the furry member of your family this is your one stop shop. read more

Do not go into this place expecting to find Alley Cat, Whiska's, Meow Mix or any other cheap cat food. Yes, the food is a bit more expensive, but it's all natural. I feel the quality of the food is tops amongst other store brand products and the people that work there are very helpful. Like any other store, human or animal food, all natural foods will cost more. Since I live in the city, my cat stays inside and I feel that the all nature, filler-free diet helps her maintain her weight. Someone mentioned they are the "Whole Foods" for the pets, which is a good description. One bonus that I do like is being able to try the sample packs of various products to see if Miss Pussy Galore (yes, that's her name...don't knock it!) will like it or not. Dropping money on something a pet won't eat is never fun and the samples do prevent you from wasteful trying. In addition to the food, they do have a substantial amount of toys, treats and grooming services. Too bad the only creature that can tell me if she likes the food or not is my cat. I asked Miss Pussy Galore to type the review for me and all she typed out was "meow meow meow meow." I think that means she likes it. Her vocabulary only goes up to one word. I never said she was smart cat... read more

Nicole helped us pick the perfect toys and treats for Mikey. She was so knowledgeable and kind! They have the best selection of pet goods I've ever seen in a pet boutique. I love this place so much I'm going to take Mikey in for a new fall look! read more

I never write reviews but I just had to compliment Rachael for giving my cat Spooky the greatest grooming. She looks absolutely flawless and no other groomer in the past has done as great of a job as Rachael has. So thanks again and I'll definitely be back with my other ball of fur with his appointment soon enough :) Keep up the excellent work! read more

This place is solid. Good food, good toy selections, and good help. I have never had my dog groomed there before, but she is a yellow lab and doesn't require much maintenance...usually a hose down outside and she is good to go. I was just in there last night and they loaded me up with samples of different types of dog food. Bonus too since they have ample parking! read more

My wee girl dog likes duck feet, salmon skin, hooves, sheep trachea and pig's ears. My big boy dog likes bully sticks. They both like bison bits, dried chicken and I think rabbit. And I can find all of that at Kriser's. While their prices are not at all competitive with, say, PetSmart, their products are also not at all on the same level; I feel good about feeding my guys food and treats from Kriser's because it's whole foods-style premium stuff. My guys always get excited when I come home carrying a big brown bag. read more

Kriser's is the only place in the city that I will take my pooch to get groomed. Kriser's came recommended by my dog walker/friend. Dexter has been going to Kriser's for quite some time and I'm always pleased with their customer service, cleanliness and how they treat Dexter. Dexter and I just returned home after his grooming. I mentioned to Maria that Dexter's skin tends to get dry during the winter because of the forced heat in my apartment. She gave Dexter an oatmeal shampoo and conditioner to soothe his skin. He's clean as a whistle and currently going to town on his bully stick he earned for good behavior! read more

Nancy the best groomer in Chicago! Only person that grooms our Norwich Terrier to look like a Norwich (other groomers have him looking like a poodle, Yorkie any thing you can think of!). We will follow Nancy anywhere! Rebecca the little doll at the register is probably one of the most personable and friendly cashier/customer service personnel I have ever experienced. So impressed with her truly natural sweetness and pleasant personality! 5 Stars to all of you! Love, Bentley Gregor's Mom read more
