    BEST DOODLE GROOMERS IN CHICAGO. Ariel is a goddess. Instead of shaving my mini goldendoodle's ears off, she took the time to work through her matted fur. I had no clue how quickly these dogs matte. They do. Ariel & Andy and THIS PETSMART -- not other locations -- were able to get Duchess in the very next morning and out before noon. Amazing. I've used multiple "fancy" expensive boutique groomers in this city. ARIEL is by far the best groomer. And the cost was a great value. Will always come back. Thanks, Ariel!

    Worst grooming experience ever. Took my Golden Doodle in for a grooming (6 week interim). I'm a diligent and responsible dog dad who brushes, bathes and even combs out my doodles hair in between visits. I took my little man in for a nice grooming since my normal groomer was booked solid and I didn't want to continue to wait beyond my 6 weeks. I explained to the new groomer how important it was to not cut his hair completely off and if there is a little rough areas please let me know via a phone call. Fast forward, I come in to pick my little up and he's completely shaven down to the skin. I'm completely disappointed and disgusted by this grooming experience and will never patronize this facility again. I will also include a picture of my little guys normal grooming "look" and his grooming I received at this location below. He looks like a completely different dog and breed. I'm distraught by this entire experience.

    Their full priced puppy haircut, which i thought could have been free

    I see Jacqueline to do a clean up of my Golden Retriever's paws and she always does an amazing job. She is very nice too!

    Milo can be a bit nervous with grooming, but Andy was so gentle and patient with him it really made a difference.

    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.

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.

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.
