There was a…read moremiscommunication with the preference card recently and I was less than pleased with the grooming service provided. However, when I called to discuss it with the owner, he was more than happy to help. He went through and investigated the situation/preference cards, did not blame it on staff, all while trying to provide the best customer service he could. They were able to fit my two dogs in last minute which I appreciated and they did an excellent job. Even if it was a sub optimal groom, having an owner who works with customers to try and navigate problems and make them right makes this business stand out. Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about this grooming spot. The facility is always extremely clean,…read moreparking around the location is easy, and every single experience I've had here has been wonderful. The staff, the groomers, and even the other customers are always friendly -- and it truly says a lot that all the pets who come here seem just as happy and well-mannered. The groomers here are contracted out, and the groomer I personally use is Mya -- and she is absolutely amazing. She is one of the only people I fully trust with my dogs. She is kind, patient, reasonably priced, flexible with scheduling, and genuinely cares about both the pets and their owners. I have two pit bulls, and anyone with this breed knows how difficult it can be to find a groomer who is both willing to take them -- let alone take both dogs on the same day. Mya not only accommodates both of my dogs together, but she also goes above and beyond to meet their individual needs. One of my dogs is not a fan of large crowds, and Mya is incredibly understanding and accommodating by scheduling us for the very first appointment of the day before anyone else arrives. That level of consideration means everything to me. What I also love is that while one of my dogs is being groomed, my other dog gets to play with Mya's little dog that she brings with her -- and they absolutely adore each other. It makes the entire experience feel calm, personal, and stress-free. One of my dogs is older, and I truly appreciate that one of the tubs has steps so he doesn't have to be lifted or jump in. That extra thoughtfulness makes a huge difference for senior pets. Another great perk is that they offer a self-wash option where you can bathe your dog yourself using their products or bring your own. It's such a convenient option to have. Overall, this grooming spot is welcoming, clean, inclusive, and filled with people who genuinely care about animals. If you're looking for a groomer who treats your pets with patience, respect, and love -- especially if you have larger breeds or dogs with special needs -- I cannot recommend Mya and this facility enough.

The entire app experience is double everything. They call and text all the time instead of just reading the app, everything has to be confirmed, what a waste of TIME! This business don't deserve the dollars I gave them as a founding member. Couldn't even return me with a clean dog. MULTIPLE TIMES. I didn't say anything because YOU CAN SEE THE DOG IS DIRTY YOU FUCKING MORONS. Then had the audacity to want to sell me additional services. I bought the base package as a gesture. That was all. Also the location is god awful and you spend a lot of time and wear and tear on your vehicle to get there due to bad roads and the worst traffic in Virginia.

With the right tenderness and attention to detail, any one can do a great job. Some can do a great job quickly without sacrificing quality. Ridge Dog Shop does all of dat. Without much effort. Both times I brought my dog there, I called last minute. Now, I have a pug, so he's more manageable but still. The only reason I am not a regular is because they are farther away from where I live. Yet, I'm certain I'll be back again. You should go too. Also, tell them Lil Wayne the Pug English sent you.

They are the only people I trust with my dog. They make it super easy to make appointments and last minute accommodations. The only thing is that she is ALWAYS the last dog to get cut. It doesn't matter what time I drop her off at. If I drop her off right at 7 she is still there until 4:30. This makes her anxiety 10x worse because she is away from me ALL day. It is inconvenient for me because I can't just run some errands and pick her back up a few hours later. I live too far to just pick her up that late because it is a weird time frame. It is supposed to be a first come first serve basis but it doesn't seem like that to me. Overall I love Ridge Dog Shop and will continue to come here! Timing is just inconvenient.
