I cannot say enough good things about Jay and his wife Kerry from The Grooming Den. My 16 year-old…read moreRagdoll, Abby, was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney disease and has been receiving palliative care at home. She has been through a lot of trauma this past year including needing an esophageal feeding tube, in-hospital treatment of liver failure due to a medication she was prescribed and the reattachment of her entire abdominal skin that was inadvertently shaved off by a vet tech while in the hospital. After posting for a cat groomer on Next Door, that could possibly help out removing a number of massive mats that snowballed while she was sick, I was kindly given the name of Jay at The Grooming Den in Mattapoisett. I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I was for those recommendations. Jay was able to remove every one of those mats....small to huge.....patiently and meticulously taking his time with precision and not even causing one nick in the process. I never thought it would be possible, but Jay did it! Abby and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts! She finally looks comfortable and I will be forever grateful.

He is never stressed and happy during the grooming. I cannot recommend this establishment more highly. If your dog is sensitive, shy, or high strung, I am sure Jay will take great care of them. My dog was a rescue and was wary of strangers, this never showed after Jay groomed him. He was relaxed as much as he would lying on our couch. Don't hesitate to work with Jay, you will have no regrets; and a good looking dog to boot!

This type of "grooming" doesn't happen by accident. I took my Border Collie to be groomed based on all of the positive reviews. DONT BE DUPED like we were. David VERY closely shaved her butt, tail, anal and other intimate areas. Only half way up her body. That is all he did. You are NEVER supposed to shave a border collie. We had discussed that on the phone and stipulated and agreed upon a grooming plan in person when we arrived. Instead of grooming her appropriately ... he had his own plan. He just obsessed over her genital areas and tried to return her with 1/2 a coat and charge us $80. Mats remained in her ears and under her elbows. She wasn't even brushed. He didn't even WASH her. Now we are all questioning why it is called "Dirty Dog Grooming." Even our vets office couldn't help but wince at the coincidence after they had to examine her. Her tail was between her legs. Worse, she reeked of fish and fecal matter suggesting she was in such terror that she released her anal glands. (Vet confirmed). HE IS DISTURBING, ABUSIVE and AGGRESSIVE to both dogs and people. (We later found out he was directly responsible for the death of a dog a few years ago, but due to loose grooming regulations in Rhode Island - continues to groom). Our vet said this was one of the POOREST grooming situations she had ever seen. They described it as odd, bizarre, poorly done, and concerning. Their office also told me my dogs beautiful coat may never grow back the same as it was. They provided documentation for me to share with any necessary channels to help warn others of this man. Beware! The grooming happens in his personal basement with just him and the animal (not a salon as advertised), which made me kind of uneasy. He clipped her nails right in front of us so he seemed to know what he was doing. Hmm or was he not skilled enough to do this without us there? Now I'm Kicking myself for not considering that. I've been keeping a consistent home grooming routine with Story so she wasn't a huge grooming mess- truthfully she has been in the past after many beach trips and even then...she was still groomed appropriately. David seemed very odd, but my boyfriend and I both kind of chalked it up to him being an animal person who maybe didn't jive with people. As animal lovers, we've met many people who love the dog park, but hate a dinner party. We were so wrong. There is something deeply disturbing about his operation. Not only did David deny shaving her, but there are clear buzz cut trails that are easy to see bc they are so uneven and in some places clipped down to her pink skin. He didn't wash her. He didn't get her mats out in any other area. It looks awful and it's so so creepy. What is the point of paying such attention to an animals genitals?? She was not in need of shearing or a Brazilian wax and trim - this may sound humorous,but I assure you that the delicately trimmed hairs around my dogs private area would make you sick. Other professional groomers confirmed his blades were dull and not sanitary to leave such offending marks on her body and by the look of her coat. Honestly, Why would you shave half of a long haired border collies back and 1/5 of her tail? When we confronted David about this he immediately began screaming and yelling incredibly derogatory terms at us. Terms that are hateful and not even appropriate to type. He threatened if this was "20 years ago" he would handle this physically and had a crazy look in his eyes while lumbering around his yard (without a mask during covid19) and screaming "She looks fine, and you're just drunk!" We had just been at the hospital visiting our infant daughter who is finally getting to come home from the NICU--the entire reason we wanted to groom our dog. If you just made a mistake wouldn't you handle this in another manner? Why flip out unless you have something to hide? I called the police to ask how we should handle it bc this is animal abuse. There is no way this guy is licensed. Collectively, we are working with the Warren Police Department and Animal Control to get to the bottom of this sordid situation. Unfortunately, this is not just "a bad dog hair cut' - ONLY her intimate areas are shaved and she wasn't groomed elsewhere. This is so disturbing.

She then proceeded to explain to me that you shouldn't cut down a Border Colie because they have a double coat. But, she did do one the week before and it looked really cute but you really shouldn't. That's great, I'm glad I just want a trim. My boyfriend arrive for our appointment and was asked what the dog was having done. He told her whatever was discussed with the mom, a trim. When he went to pick the dog up he walked right by her, not even recognizing her. She shaved our Border Colie completely down to nothing. I left several messages requesting a return call hoping for acknowledgement of her wrong doing. After several days of no return call I decided to go by. There was not one second during my interaction with this lady where she demonstrated professional behavior. She immediately began yelling at me telling me that's what I wanted. When I told her that was not true, she then said that's what whoever dropped the dog off said. This is also not true. She then began yelling that the dogs hair was matted and she couldn't get through it. Again, not true. She began screaming at me" call the cops on me, get off my property fatso." During this time her two dogs escaped from the house and down off her porch. She was yelling at them in between yelling at me. The poor dogs were going crazy, running in circles. My boyfriend and daughter dropped the dog off they heard them screaming at the dogs that were there, yelling at one because he wouldn't stay still. In such a hostile environment how could a dog stay still?! This lady is cruel to the dogs. She does not deserve to be in the presence of such special friends.

Our Jozi was still in DKA crisis after recently being discharged from another emergency vet hospital in the area on September 27, 2025. Dr. Jody Mello-Brooks immediately diagnosed that Jozi was still in DKA crisis with positive blood ketones and was severely dehydrated too. She admitted her to Warren Animal Hospital for fluid resuscitation, blood sugar management, insulin treatments, antibiotics for her pancreatitis (diagnosed on 9/25/25) and electrolytes with close observation. Dr. Jody Mello-Brooks worked on Jozi x 22 hours over the next 2.5 days to bring our girl "back-to-life" again. I am thoroughly convinced that Dr. Jody and her staff (Erin Hartington, CVT, Olivia and Candice) saved our sweet Jozi's life. No doubt about it. They walked us hand-in-hand each day with the plan of care, treatments provided and future management of our dog who was newly diagnosed with diabetes and pancreatitis. We were thoroughly impressed with their dedication, commitment, compassion and competence to provide the best care for Jozi as well as address all of our cares, concerns and questions. Thank you Dr. Jody, Erin, Olivia and Candice for taking such good care of our sweet Jozi girl! We highly recommend Warren Animal Hospital for ALL of your pet's needs!
