The staff is always extremely welcoming when we walk in and are super gentle with my anxious pup. When I pick him up, he always comes out happy and smelling fresh!

I am extremely unhappy with the grooming experience my dog Louie had at Bowie Barker. After his…read moreappointment, BOTH of his ears became severely infected, leaving him in obvious pain and discomfort. He has been walking around with his head tilted to the side, crying, and even snapping when anyone tries to touch near his ears because of how painful they are. Watching him suffer like this has been awful. I had to rush him to the vet at 9am and spend an additional $400 for treatment, medication, and care due to the severity of the infections. What makes this even more upsetting is learning that your groomers are trained to bathe dogs without using cotton balls in their ears. That seems incredibly counterproductive and unsafe, especially considering how easily water can get trapped and lead to ear infections. Louie has never experienced anything like this before, and it is heartbreaking seeing him in so much pain over something that should have been a routine grooming appointment. I also have videos showing the condition he was in afterward, including the head tilt and discomfort he's been experiencing. I expected professional and safe care for my dog, and instead I was left with a traumatized dog, a stressful emergency vet visit, and hundreds of dollars in unexpected medical bills. I truly hope management takes this seriously so no other dog has to go through this.

We called to make an appointment and the girl on the phone was so lovely and easy to talk to. She asked about any health issues and we mentioned that he had a sensitive trachea. When we came in to drop him off, we filled out some additional info and were happy to see they actually wrote down his trachea problem from our phone call. They really seem to care about the dogs they groom! The interior was clean and well taken care of. This location is on Melrose, so there is lots of street parking and shopping nearby. Our doggie took 3 hours and he seems to have had a positive experience. He was anxious when we dropped him off, but was in a good mood when we came to get him. We were also given a cute little toy to take home. Overall, great experience and we will be back

Zoey is a smooth coat Chihuahua and dachshund mix so doesn't need her fur cut. Over the years Zoey has been more on the spicy side which I feel extremely guilty about but she always gets taken care of. I'm truly surprised and grateful Zoey hasn't been banned.

Every single person who works there is engaging and kind and clearly passionate about the work they are doing. And I'm sure that comes from the mission of the owner, whose story is touching and inspiring. This is not some cheap, random dog wash. It is so much more. When we are there we both feel good, which makes it worth every penny I spend. The care and attention my puppy receives is so personal and genuine. She is definitely in love with Sam, who has taken care of her every time we've been. He has taken her from a scared, tiny puppy to an excited, slightly bigger puppy in just a few visits! I do not work there or know anyone there personally. Just want to share my experience and we can't wait for our next visit!

Entrance is in back, and they also have a few designated customer parking spots in the lot out back. Thank you Fur Town for doing a wonderful job and helping this new mom out! We'll definitely be back. TLDR: very reasonable pricing, even when it's not a student session, easy to book, good communication, dog was happy at pickup, upcharge for extra dematting was reasonable and fair unlike a competitor in neigborhood with a lot of 1 star reviews...

I'm extremely disappointed and disturbed by how I was treated by this business, particularly by the…read moreowner, Brian. My brother's dog is 15 years old and has been going to this groomer for over a decade. I have been responsible for caring for him, including scheduling, paying for, and consistently tipping for his grooming services. After so many years of our family patronizing this business--and my own experience as a paying and tipping customer--I never expected to be treated this way. I scheduled a grooming appointment on Wednesday evening at approximately 6:30 p.m. for 12:30 p.m. the following day. When I woke up Thursday morning, he was limping. Given that he is a 15-year-old senior dog, I took that seriously. I did what I believe any responsible caregiver would do: I called the groomer and rescheduled his appointment so that he could be seen by his veterinarian and receive his scheduled Adequan treatment before being groomed. I did not simply cancel or fail to show up. I moved the appointment from Thursday to Saturday because he was limping and I was concerned about his well-being. I was then told that I needed to provide a doctor's note proving that he was actually going to the veterinarian or I would be charged a no-show/cancellation fee. Although I found this request excessive, I obtained the documentation and brought it with me to the rescheduled appointment. When I arrived on Saturday, the gentleman at the front desk was extremely rude and told me He's never heard of them asking for a vet note and he didn't know who or why that request was made. I told him the only reason I had the documentation with me was because I had been told it was required to avoid the fee. The situation escalated when the owner, Brian, called me. He verbally assaulted at me and argued that an Adequan injection was "not a reason" to cancel a grooming appointment. To be very clear: I did not reschedule because he was simply receiving an Adequan injection. I rescheduled because my 15-year-old dog was LIMPING. I wanted him seen and treated before putting him through a grooming appointment. His health and comfort will always take priority over a grooming appointment. What I found most disturbing was that during this confrontation, Brian told me that he would not release the dog to me. That crossed a line for me. Whatever disagreement we may have had about a cancellation policy or fee, telling the person responsible for a 15-year-old senior dog that you will not release that dog to them is completely unacceptable to me. Businesses have every right to establish cancellation policies. My issue is how this situation was handled: requiring proof of a veterinary visit, being rude when I provided the requested proof, dismissing the actual reason I rescheduled, yelling at me, and then telling me the dog would not be released to me. Attempting to make me out to be an angry black woman is the lamest and oldest trick in the book. There is another review from another customer citing the same issues with care and accountability with the owner. I wonder if he was yelled at the way I was.

I've been a loyal customer for about 10 years now and I've enjoyed just about every bit of it…read more Until now. My cat pictured in my original review passed away a few years ago and after she passed I decided I was ready for a dog and along came Georgie. A goofy, fluffy, loyal Goldendoodle. His fur is on the curly side taking after his poodle genes. I've taken him to Posh for a bath and haircut several times and he's been to daycare many many times. I've never really had a bad experience. However, this most recent time was extremely disappointing and quite literally heartbreaking. I made an appointment for a haircut and bath + daycare. When I arrived I was greeted by their friendly staff as always then by Jeanine. She was pleasant and friendly but had all of these additional charges that she added on at the beginning of my service. I'll break it down below and explain. Mattes: my dog had mattes on his legs and body. I was aware and was prepared to pay the fee to take them out. Poodle feet: she said there was an additional fee to shave his feet? However at the end I didn't see any sign of poodle feet. Flea bath: because of the itching she recommended a flea bath, granted she did find 1 singular flea on him so that's fair. I also mentioned to her that he is on a flea medication. I check him regularly and have yet to find a flea. Shave fee?: additional charge to shave him I guess Cancellation fee: I live 2 hours away (recently moved out of the area) but wanted to stay loyal to Poshpetcare. Unfortunately I had made an appointment in March and had to reschedule for the following day within the 24hr window so they charged me a cancellation fee. I've never canceled within 24 hours and have been loyal to them For many years. This really hurt my feelings. I wouldn't cancel last minute and mess with someone's money. I simply rescheduled for the following day. They had lots of availability too so it's not like the appointment time was in high demand. When my dog came out he literally looked like a rat. His beautiful fur had been vandalized. It broke my heart and I just felt so bad. Like how could someone do this to him? If this was going to be the outcome they should've turned me away or shown me pictures of the absolute horror I was not prepared for. The poor front desk man knew how devastated I was. I got into my car and literally wanted to like blow up but I had to keep my cool bc I'm an adult lol. I've put two pictures below. One of his haircut done by Puppy Prom on 3rd and another by Poshpetcare. I go between the two businesses because Puppy prom isn't open on weekends and Posh is. I spent $300 for him to be shaved and given an uneven head haircut. I'm absolutely devastated. He's still the same happy pup but I just feel so bad that I did this to him. I highly recommend any Doodle owners take their pups to Puppy Prom on 3rd st. It's less than a mile away. Ask for David. He's the owner and will make your pup look like an absolute show dog. Also, everything is included in their flat rate. No "poodle feet" or "extra shampoo" fees. I've learned my lesson and do not plan to return to Poshpetcare. After spending over $12k in services over the years, my heart is broken. If you're a cat owner, I highly recommend Sabina at Poshpetcare. She's an absolute doll and takes exceptional care of your precious babies. Attention Doodle Owners!!! Puppy Prom
