My dog likes to look fresh…read more Haha, not really. If it were up to her she'd let herself resemble Pigpen, would roll around in dirt and feces, and would generally look like she'd just been through a forage in the forest. However, as an apartment dog...this is not acceptable. She is a shorthaired lady, so she doesn't need the particular cut, but every few months she does need a deep down brushing, scrub and nail trim (something about trimming another beings nails terrifies me)...and thus we search for her spa. Easier said than done in East London! But I finally found Groom Dog City and I am quite pleased with the output. It's in a little shop near Haggerston/Columbia Market, they took my appointment quickly, the staff was very nice (both the owner and the assistant), and 45 minutes later I returned and was gifted back a dog that looked to be much cleaner and about 4 bales of hair lighter. Win. Reasonably priced too! For the works on my type of dog (again, no cutting/trimming required) for bath, eyes, ears, nails, brushdown -- about £25. I also left a tip because I have to believe this is thankless work giving spa treatments to animals who do not wish to be pampered. If they only knew! They even returned her to me with a little bow. I'll be visiting again next time she starts to resemble a vagabond... *appointments easily made online (he called me back right away). *there are a few shop dogs, word to the wise. I mentioned my dog wasn't so nice with other dogs she doesn't know, and they easily blocked them off. I'm sure my dog was still a nervous wreck, but there is a price to beauty and to coexisting with humans, Tillie.

my dog was four weeks past due his groom and having moved a to a new city, it can be tricky looking…read morefor something outside of the regular. anna w.'s review convinced me that this one was worth checking out, and luckily, groom dog city is conveniently located nearby. the consultation was quick and concise. the price is affordable. they promised me about 2.5 hours, and they were even finished before then. most importantly, Peaches got one of the best haircuts he's had in a while. and you might not be able to see it in the photo, but they put a small xmas bow on his collar (awww). we will be back.

Great to stumble upon Molly & George on Yelp!…read more I was doing a search to find a new groomer for our posh pensioner Tillie. She was in bad need of a manicure and bath, and I was just sort of over the vibe at my previous groomer (Groom Dog City). After reading the bio on M&G's Yelp page I figured it would be good choice and a nice walk up to London Fields on a weekend morning. I easily made an appointment via email. I brought her in on Sunday at 10am, she got the requisite bath and brushing and nail trim and I picked her up about 45 minutes later (even snuck in a tasty breakfast nearby at Bouchon Fourchette)!. For the low price of 20 quid! A great deal in my opinion. It's a location under a railway arch near London Fields, just behind Hackney Road. The space is fresh and bright. Super simple, she looked great when done, the woman was friendly and we were on our way to enjoy a nice walk in London Fields. Can't beat that. It gives me a great excuse to visit one of my favorite areas of London as well. 2 paws up for Molly & George - we'll be back.

DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR LONG HAIRED DOG!…read more I brought my baby Chow Chow in, showed a picture of my dog and asked for her hair to be cut SHORTER, with a full groom service, which to my understanding would be: wash, blowout, ear cleaning, nails clipping, etc. Came back in 2 hours with my chow SHAVED down. The groomer told me that I ASKED for this. Either in her 21 years of experience, which she kept repeating to us, she has never groomed a chow chow, or she doesn't knows the difference between cutting and shaving a dog. With NO APOLOGY from the groomer, I paid £90 to the awful job, left and came home with tears. This could have been a miscommunication, since the groomer was adamant that "you asked for this". Me and my husband are dog owners since we were children, we have groomed our baby chow chow in London and in Dubai for years, and never once have I left a groomer with such bad feeling.

I had a bad bad experience with this groomer, she insisted my dog be sedated and was quite rude…read more Also commented that some groomers hit dogs ??? Took my dog to another groomer where he has been since no problems. Think twice !!!

Appalling!!! The attitude of the woman serving was vile and she told me she 'couldn't groom my dog…read moreas her scissors wouldn't cut through his hair'. Funnily enough, several groomers near by have all seen my dog (who is a cocker spaniel - not mammoth) have completely disagreed and booked him in straight away. No issues. The 'groomer' doesn't have a clue and I would strongly recommend using a groomer who can actually 'groom' a dog. Rather than charge £10 for a bath and send the dog back covered in grass!!!!! As an aside, she also advised me that her job 'is not to brush the dogs'..... which I actually thought was the whole point of a groom!!! That would be like going to the hairdressers and them not combing your hair before a cut! I'm outraged that despite booking in and advising her that my dogs hair is thick on the legs and booking a 2 hour appointment, she couldn't cut him. Use the groomers in Loughton instead. So much better and such friendly women. Unlike this so - called 'groomer'.

If you are looking for emergency pet food in Islington, you don't have many options…read more Angel Pets is a small store so it just sells the basics. You can find dog and cat food here, some food for birds (wild and otherwise), and some small animal cages. The shopkeeper here was friendly and I thought that the prices were good. My pet has food at the moment but the next time I need to get him some and I'm going to Vue, I'll stop in here. Better than being caught out and having to hope to catch Waitrose.

I needed a collar, I came out with two, plus three toys and a treat…read more I had expected Angel Pet to have a poor selection, mainly aimed at cats and birds, but I was pleasantly surprised. There was a large number of collars, leashes, jackets, anti-pull harnesses, and muzzles for dogs that I could choose from, and the man behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. The store may be small, but what they don't have they are happy to order for you. And if you're in need of a cat/dog bed, they have an entire wall FULL. Good prices, good service, and no complaints when I had to return a collar that was too large. Thanks, Angel Pets!

The groomer didn't listen to me for the shape so I end with my dog trimmed too short. I asked him…read morenot to use the shaver and the shampoo I brought but he ignored me and my dog scratched himself badly for month. I will never ever come back to this place. Horrendous experience

When I saw this shop was due to open I can't lie I was super excited as I love to spoil my dog Ham…read more Hounds of Bow is perfectly located near Victoria Park and it also offers fantastic grooming services. Full of great toys, treats and food, the team who run the shop are all lovely and always greet Ham with cuddles and treats. Ham is a Border Terrier and needs special grooming called hand stripping as he has a double coat. Steven has done a beautiful job and Ham also smells divine! Highly recommend!
