Charlie getting a Pawdicure Plus!
Cynthia N.

We still go here every month or two for the Pawdicure Plus (nail trim & grind, ear and teeth cleaning. Joel is great - calm, kind, and friendly. It's nice that you can just walk in and get it all done within 10-15 min.

Snowy freshly baked

I brought my dog Snowy for a grooming appointment. I have never used PetSmart and my Groomer of four years is out of town. It was easy to book online and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a huge parking lot easy to park. The check-in process was pretty efficient. Noah was the groomer. He was very sweet someone I can tell really really loves dogs. You can tell when someone genuinely does this because they love dogs, the whole thing took about three hours and for $41. I'm completely happy. I will be using this place again.

This is the work of Doris, the groomer at Petsmart.

The absolute worst grooming experience EVER. I took my maltipoo Teddy in for a bath and cut at 3:00 p.m. At 7:00 Doris called to tell me Teddy was too wiggly and she only had a chance to take off a little hair, and that I needed to come pick him up. I told Doris he was accustomed to going to the groomer and we'd never had a problem before. She said she would try to give him a bath. What??? I dropped him off at 3 pm and at 7 pm he wasnt bathed!! I told her to bathe him at just cut the hair around his butt, and I'd pick him up. She called at 8 and said she had a hard time, and since she couldn't finish I wouldn't have to pay. When I picked him up I almost cried! I couldn't believe it was the same dog!!! It's like she closed her eye's and groomed him with a machete! Like, this is the worst haircut I've ever seen! The pictures that are attached don't capture how hideous he looks! On top of that he was even more mated under his neck, which made him uncomfortable. This should be a damn crime! Petsmart is a national organization that prides themselves on offering the best service for our animals. Yet, they hired someone who is not a professional groomer and takes NO care for the members of our family. My understanding is that Doris, frequently treates pets in this manner. When i called the manager Nayha, she apologized profusely. Although she knew nothing could make this right, she showed genuine concern, even alarm! She offered a free groom with one of their best groomers. I just can't get over how incredibly awful this experience has been.

PetSmart: Food for Chatty Guests - Orange & Brown (Easy going Orange broke up w/ territorial Brown last week).
Belle L.

It's proper etiquette to offer something for the House Guest. In Spring 2016, an Adult Bird dropped by 2x that gave me The Look! Are Chicago Birds excellent hustlers by making you feel guilty? Fast Forward to Spring 2019. I first noticed skinny, young, teen Orange by peaking his head while standing then hopping from left to right towards the tucked Seed Feeder (to avoid strong & high wind damage). I'm glad that Orange kept the Food Stash to itself as too many distant relatives may put me in trouble with Building Association. PetSmart's $8 GREAT CHOICE 10 LB SEED MIX is a better value than Amazon's HARTZ BONANZA HEALTH & VITALITY BLEND. For Orange's impeccable manners (greets every time he/she drops by), I got a $5 YO DIPS (papaya & mango yogurt bits) that doesn't look like it's a hit. I don't mind a low-maintenance humble guest. Next time, I shall give Orange it's own mini sweeper & trash bin so they can clean their own seed mess. I hope Orange finds an excellent companion. Orange has put the ledge to it's maximum use by sunbathing, and checking out the view. I barely go out just like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman. It's even a miracle that I now see the sunset. NOTE TO PETSMART: DO NOT cancel a pickup order that is already paid for. Bad Business. A reminder email or text would be nice instead of absolutes. Are you in the business of selling OR keeping inventories?

Had a great experience with dropping off my 4.5lb Morkie for his first puppy haircut. The price was reasonable compared to all the other places I called in the city.

I love this store! They came by New City August 25th and threw a pet party for us. Everyone loved it! That's when I met Natalie and a few other staff members- they were so friendly, I started to bring my new puppy to them. Everyone in the store is always helpful. They helped me find the right stuff for my puppy and spent a lot of time to help make sure I had everything I needed. My dog goes to training classes with Natalie, she's super friendly and knows her stuff. She gets back to me quickly whenever I have questions or need help rescheduling a class. He's doing so good! I have also met a few of the managers, Jesus and Jane. Both guys have been so friendly and nice, I had a question on some dog food I saw the night before but then couldn't find. Jesus helped me figure out where it was and Jane helped me later that same day. I also had the salon do his first puppy cut, I think it was kassandra. The girls were so nice, he wasn't as scared as I thought he would have been for his first time there. All in all I've had a great experience. Thank you!

I've never had a problem getting help when I need it here. The only thing I don't love is sometimes they're having puppy training classes at like, peak shopping hours and it's intrusive to have so many dogs running around when you just need too cat food. My dog's love it here. Very Clean.

My bleeding dogs paws after they cut her nails entirely to short, after addressing with them before groom to not cut them short

We came here the first time last month because our cavapoo desperately needed a cut before she went…read morein for her surgery. I was thrilled that Howlistic Grooming had availability and had such stellar reviews. With the large number of dogs in the area, it's a relief knowing we can book here less than a month in advance. They did a great job taking care of our pup, and she was in a happy mood when we picked her up! We've been back again now for a bath and she is in looks fantastic and smells great! Definitely recommend checking them out!

I rarely leave reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Howlistic Grooming…read more This was my dog's second visit, and before leaving him, they specifically asked if he would be receiving the same haircut as last time. I said yes and confidently left, expecting consistency with the previous groom. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. They cut my dog's hair extremely low and completely ignored the previous grooming guidelines. When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying she had "shaved his nails for free," which she said is normally a $10 add-on. I explained that it still didn't address the issue at hand and that it should have either been communicated or charged properly as an add-on if that was the case, because it didn't resolve my concern about the haircut. I was told there was "nothing they could do" and that "for future reference" I should bring a photo. I didn't think a photo was necessary for a repeat appointment when the staff made it seem like they already understood what was expected based on his last service. The manager called the next day, listened to everything that happened, and ultimately only reiterated that they do not offer refunds or discounts. No apology, no empathy, and no accountability for the poor experience. The only response I kept hearing was "for future reference." To make matters worse, my dog's ears were cut so short that he barely even looks like he has ears anymore. The haircut looks nothing like the previous groom, and it's honestly upsetting to look at. Since the appointment, he hasn't even seemed like his usual energetic self. I trusted this salon to care for him properly, and instead I left feeling dismissed and deeply disappointed. A total waste of $80 and a tip. PHOTOS BELOW: As you can see in the attached photos, his beautiful black coat was shaved down entirely too close, leaving his face and ears completely bare.

I know we won't be able to find someone like him anywhere else and that makes me and my husband really sad. A. My dog loved going to John, he never felt stressed after John's haircut. B. Have you seen how clean his shop is? My jaw dropped when I first went there. C. His cuts are so amazing, Toby was getting complements constantly. D. Shampoo that he uses is amazing, smells so good. E. My dog is anxious, but John never had a problem working with him somehow , he usually never sits still for anyone. F. He is a professional groomer and I don't think you will find someone like him at least in Chicago area. I can go on and on. I don't think he needs my review but I just wanted to share for someone lucky who lives in the area and is able to get appointment at Clean Dog.

Not sure what superlatives I can add to what many others have written except to say all of them are…read moretrue. One of the true pleasures of living in a big city it to discover treasures in the most unexpected of places. Who would think that dog grooming would be one such place but I consider CleanDog to be a treasure in Chicago. John brings a rare combination of pride or work and some kind of genius for dog grooming that is ineffable; he just has a feel and an incredible talent for working with dogs. What brought me in the door for our Maltipoo Bailey is that I was looking for someone who would not immediately resort to shears to deal with some matting (admittedly, we had let Bailey go and she was very matted). I know that taking her to our prior groomer would result in her coming home shivering and looking like a short-haired chihuahua. Reading the reviews here led us to CleanDog. In short, John did not disappoint. He is so kind and helpful and went the extra mile (and then another extra mile and then another after that). As others have experienced, we could not believe how wonderful she looked. In fact, it was the best she has ever looked, hands down. John patiently brushed her out, gave her a much needed bath, and then working his own unique magic, brought out the scissors and turned her into a show dog. I can't imagine taking her for grooming anywhere else in Chicago.
