I was considering having my cat groomed at this business. The woman who worked there told me that cats have venom in their teeth! What??? Hopefully, this person is no longer working there. If that person represents the lack of brains there, I will never trust any of my pets in their hands. Needless to say, I corrected the imbecile employee who told me that ridiculously stupid belief of hers and chose a different, reputable groomer. ZERO STARS!!! read more

Joe does a great job working on our Westie. She is always very content and happy after she makes a visit for her bath and grooming and she looks beautiful too! Bob Fiorani in Barrington read more

I adopted a 10 year old Lhasa who had been groomed here. His fabulous haircut is one reason I wanted him right away. I chose to keep the same groomer which maybe helped this handsome Lhasa not be stressed with a new groomer after his time in the shelter. I've argued with the groomer over tangles and extra charges. But Joel himself does a great job most times. That Lhasa has passed away now and I have a Lhasa look-alike who gets groomed by Joel. The younger dog comes out looking like a show dog, as did the original Lhasa. Nobody is perfect but Joel is one of the best groomers I've run across in the last 20 years of getting Lhasa type dogs groomed! I do recommend him read more

I've taken my wheaten terrier and my prior wheaten to Joel for years. His scissor cutting is precise perfection. He is quick to get you an appointment, and he doesn't keep your dog for hours. The prices are a bit high, but the quality is top notch. I feel like you get what you pay for with most groomers. His skills match the price point. I lost my job so I have been grooming my Taz at home. I look forward to bringing him in for a proper groom again. read more

I started bringing my dog here a year ago. Heard all the excuses for the constant over charges. The owner wanted me to get the dog on a plan to have him groomed every 2 weeks which I did and he was still complaining that the dog had knots. Today it was the cherry on top of the cake. I got charged $100 for a wash no CUT even though I had specifically asked for the dog to have full grooming (cut included). I didn't realize he wasn't cut until after I paid. Who in the world charges $100 for a shower and shaving the belly. TOTAL RIP OFF!!! I will never use this place again! read more

This place has totally changed. Total chop job. Low quality choppy, shave all over job. No quality check, long hairs all over, and they charge $70 a dog which is on the high end. What a shame because they use to do such a good job. The photos I show when they use to do good and the last photos show the job they do now. read more

First time taking my 3 month old miniature golden doodle and he looks amazing and I will be returning !

We have brought our giant energetic dogs, 2 Newfoundland's and a Bernese Mountain dog, to Joel and his team a number of times. They always do a great job, the puppies are happy, clean and smell good. Joel is also great at accommodating our schedule on weekends or short notice. Definitely recommend them. read more

This was my fourth time at this place. I have an old doggie and she lost most of her teeth. As I came back to pick her up, the owner told me her breath smelled bad and he brushed her teeth even though I specifically told him not too since she experiences pain. He charged me for the teeth cleaning and he said- "Her breath smelled and I had to do it cause I couldn't take the smell". He had my information and my phone number. If he was so disgusted with her he could have called me and I would have picked her up. He was insensitive and rude in my opinion and I was charged for something I did not ask for. The re was also an older dog just wondering with the tail down. Lots of dog hair everywhere and place was very dirty. I am definitely not coming back. read more

Brought my two cockalierpoos in for grooming. Groomer was so nice and listened to my requests and questions. They looked perfect when I picked them up. They were styled with such precise detail. Great job and will be back. read more

This is the best groomer around! I own a big beautiful Great Pyrenees and I groom him 2-3 times a year professionally. Finding a groomer who does a great job and is reasonably priced is tough, but Joel is it. He also informed me that he can do summer cuts on double coats. Did I mention I was a walk-in on a Saturday? Amazing. $85 for a wash, cut, ear cleaning, and nail trim. read more

Pet-A-Coat Junction - Happily groomed pup! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Barrington, Illinois

Been taking my dog to Joel for years and would not go anywhere else. He is kind, patient and professional and my dog always looks and smells amazing when we pick her up. He is the best! read more

Joel is the master. He is the cat whisperer. I have a long haired cat from hell who scratched me to bits just trying to clip her nails but just in Joel's presence she acts like a sleeping baby. Prices are always fair....I wouldn't go anywhere else to have my cat groomed! He is always super accommodating and can usually fit me in the same day I call!!! I highly recommend for any dog or cat grooming! read more

We take our puppies to Pet-A-Coat Junction. 427 W Main St, Barrington, IL 60010 Amazing guy who knows what he is doing. Joel is the owner and he does the job way more than we expect and he is very experienced. Reasonable price. Puppies look better after going to him :) We have tried 3 other places and he is the BEST. Also pretty fast compared to other places like 3 hours or so. It is a 30 mins drive for me but we still go there. read more

This is a great grooming spot for your pets. I have been coming here for many years, and have always found a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Joel is working hard to please everyone who comes in - repeats or new customers. My dogs love him and never refuse to come in. Anytime I've asked for something special, he has eagerly done it. The shop will look super when the renovation is completed. Good luck, Joel. read more

I've been taking my dog here for grooming for years. When it was sold to new owners I was worried. No need- the new owners are great and the quality is just as high. Pedro - who usually answers the phone- is always very accommodating. Most importantly I can tell that they really love animals and are nice to my dog. read more

We are always happy with how our pups look after going to Pet-a-coat. I would definitely recommend.

Brought my dog in to mainly to get his coat blown out and he seems to be shedding even more now. Will not be returning
