It was great. I love this place. So friendly and professional. They do amazing cuts in my little Shih Tzu poodle mix

Just providing an update on the wound my 4 month old puppy suffered in her first grooming at Pooch. It's now almost a year and a half later and she still has a permanent bald spot on her head. Do NOT take your pet here. The groomer and owner took zero responsibility and no support. read more

Being a rescue, Max has been rejected from PetSmart and Woof Gang Bakery for his anxiety, but here, with all the patience in the world, he was cared for much better than in those places. Thank you! read more

My 4 legged son was way overdue for a "PETicure, so I decided to search Yelp for a nearby place that could cut his nails for a reasonable price. I contacted Pooch and the gentlemen that answered the phone was very pleasant and professional. When we arrived we received prompt, friendly service. I anticipate the opportunity to return to try their other services. read more

Hidden gem!!!!! I can't say enough good things about the Pooch. Support local businesses!!! It's a small operation but the staff is super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and they know how to handle all types of dogs. Tony is the one I would communicate with, and he is the absolute BEST. Would communicate via text and always bend over backwards to accommodate my crazy schedule and infinite service requests (I lived in Austin and would try to book appts last minute every time I'd drive to Houston). They ask specific questions to really ensure you are getting quality service, while putting your dogs at ease during the process. I even asked one time if they had medicated [my dog] Gary because he HATED getting brushed or anyone touching his paws, but they just know how to calm them down. He has a flat coated retriever long, fluffy unruly coat which mattes easily so required some time and extra attention. Every time I picked him up after a full service - nails, bath, cut, gland extraction, etc - he was smiling ear to ear like he was just so happy to be there... I swear to you it's like taking your dogs to Cesar Millan. I'm not kidding. Their work is THAT impressive. Love you Pooch!!!!! Wish you could come groom Gary in Denver read more

Pooch In The City - Great communication! Love how they text all their clients to keep you informed on time. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Houston, Texas

My dog, a furry 1yr old Sheepadoodle went to this shop three times. What was alarming the last time was the over sensitivity in one ear, he was in pain after the service. Two days after when I looked inside I found a wet and rotting piece of cotton inside the ear. Photos attached. Another alarming issue were the trimmer cuts in his belly which I had to use disinfecting solution for. I expressed my concern and they were responsive, but got away from any responsibility arguing that if an ear infection were to suddenly appear it would be rather a pre-existing condition and not a cotton that stayed there for just a couple of days. When I picked him up the last time I asked why he was so shy they said that he did not like the dryer and the trimmer and showed "signs of aggression", which is a huge red flag because it is totally incongruent with his mellow behavior, either when I do it and when other groomers have done it. Another bothersome issue is how long they take to groom the dogs, I would drop him a 10am and get the message to pick him up at 6pm or so, even though they close at 5pm. After seeing all these red flags I concluded that he was just mishandled and traumatized. In general I had been satisfied with the result but nothing truly differentiating. PetSmart and other local groomers do just as good, and Pooch in the City is also quite expensive so I always struggled to find the value in it. This shop is just overrated and overpriced. read more

I'm grateful for Pooch In The City and the wonderful job they did grooming my dog last week. During the lockdown, my husband and I took on the role of groomer and learned very quickly that its a tough job. Thank you for your professionalism and service that you do for dog owners like myself. read more

I've been to a few groomers since I've moved to Houston, but was never happy with the actual grooming and/or customer service until I found Pooch in the City. Abigail is so sweet and I can tell she really cares about my boys when I drop them off. My Cockapoos go monthly for grooming but I've also boarded them here with peace of mind! Pricing for both boarding and grooming are extremely reasonable! I won't be taking my fur babies anywhere else! Highly recommended! read more

Support your local businesses because it is totally worth it! Before finding Pooch, I've always gone to Petsmart or Petco to get my dog's nails trimmed and occasionally hair cut. However, my experiences with them are always oscillating; some days their services are great, others it's mediocre. As I continued to take my dog to either Petsmart and Petco for nail clippings, I noticed my dog would be limping slightly the next day. I was so concerned that I had taken him to the vet to get his front legs checked in case there were joint problems (spent $300+ to find out there wasn't). An acquaintance of mine told me about Pooch. I stopped by for my dog's nail clipping just to see if their service was any good. The price was the same as Petsmart and Petco, so I thought, why not? Turns out, it was the best decision for my dog. The store is small but very welcoming and homey. The dogs boarding there seemed so happy and even game to greet me. The lady who was working at the time was very polite and greeted me immediately. The process was quick and I was out the door in 10 min. The next day, I noticed that my dog wasn't limping at all. NONE! It was then I knew that the workers at Petco and Petsmart were most likely too harsh in handling my dog's feet whereas Pooch was careful and gentle. I was impressed! So I decided to come back to get my dog a hair cut just to see how it goes. The price was, again, the same was Petsmart and Petco, so why not? I loved how another lady who worked there at this time asked me specific questions of how I wanted the hair to be cut. Questions that extended beyond the usual "How much off? An inch or two?". She asked about things like shaping of the face and the ears and the hair length of the tail. I told her I would like it if she reduced the mustache and beard and also cleared the hair away from the eyes. She delivered every request I made. It just shows how much Pooch's employees actually cares for the dogs that come in. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING YOUR SOGS HERE! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES! I really hope this place withstands the challenges from Covid-19. The gentle care they give to the dogs is something that I want my dog to continue to experience forever when he gets his nails cut or hair trimmed. read more

I've been bringing my six year old schnauzer here for over a year and I can't say enough good things about these guys! My dog hates baths, but it's clear to tell that he hates them a little less if it means he gets to hang out with his favorite people at Pooch in the City all day. They even let him hang out in the yard/playroom/around the shop if I'm running late to keep him from being locked in the kennel all day. They do a wonderful job grooming my kiddo, his haircuts always exceed expectations and he's always happy when I pick him up. It's obvious that they are passionate about their work and truly care about all the pooches they see. I love this place and can not recommend them enough! read more

I have a 4 Year old Maltipoo. I decided to change groomers because I've heard nothing but great things about Pooch In The City. They did such an AMAZING job on Toby! What's awesome is that We got the full groom for $60 and everything came out PERFECT plus they can keep updated on my dog through the day while he was there ! I can leave asure that my dog is in great hands and is being taken care of ! I also want to mention the skillful groomer. No matter what service you choose, from full groom to bath and tidy, they do a beautiful job and it's evident that they use the upmost care. Toby stays smelling great long after he's come home from the groomer, which is a major plus! The staff at "PITC" are wonderful and love what they do! THANK YOU POOCH IN THE CITY! read more

Probably one of the best groomers in Houston. We moved to SF, but whenever we come and fly our dog with us, we book a grooming here. Their attention to detail and execution on what you want, coupled with their fair prices cannot be beat! I look forward to using them regularly once I relocate back to Houston. read more

This place does amazing work on doodles! My 1 year old labradoodle had some matting in his ears and tail due to boarding and not being brushed for 2 weeks while I was gone. I had come to terms with the fact that his ears and tail where probably going to have to be shaved but she was able to save them and he came out look so adorable! If you have a doodle I highly recommend this place! read more

Pooch In The City - Fresh and clean from the groomer - Pet Groomers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I brought my baby boy Cairo to be boarded for a couple of days while I and my husband took a little getaway out of the city. Tiffany was so sweet and took great care of Cairo. He came home super relaxed and calm, I'm sure he was worn out from all the playing at Pooch in the City. I love it when I meet someone who is professional and loves their work and Tiffany is both. Thank you, Tiffany and we'll be back soon for a grooming service! read more

Love the grooming staff at Pooch In The City. We have a 70 pound golden doodle whose coat requires a lot of maintenance. On several occasions, I have brought him in with matting, and the team manages to detangle his hair without having to cut any off. They are super diligent and great with my pup, Oliver Bear. read more

This is the first time ever that I see my dog happy after getting her hair cut. She's usually unhappy and stays like that for days even if we cut her hair ourselves but when I picked her up from Pooch in the City she was perky, tail wagging and she was normal like nothing happened. I don't know what kind of voodoo they do over there but I'm not taking my dog anywhere else read more

I have to agree with Priscilla's review, when I drop my little one off I know he is in good hands, every time I pick him up he is always in a happy mood, as if he just left a spa day. Priscilla's comment " Tiffany pays attention to detail in exactly what kind of cut compliments the breed" is so on point, my guy always looks so handsome after a grooming. I am so happy to take my pup to Pooch In The City and totally recommend PIC. read more

I have been taking my Labradoodles to Pooch in the City for several years. The original owner retired recently and I was worried how the new crew would do- in a word, BETTER!!!! Tony and Susannah are just fabulous!! Tony really "gets" how doodles should be maintained to show off their beautiful coats and doesn't mind taking the time to work with all that curly fur. I recommend very highly!! So lucky to have such a quality groomer in the energy corridor!! read more

Best grooming place ever and great customer service. My maltipoo dog suffers from ear infections time to time, but dice we have brought him here no more ear infections.

Great groomers! Friendly and they do a wonderful job with my rambunctious poodles. You do need to make an appointment they fill up fast! Unfortunately the old groomers have left. I have been there twice with the new groomers. The first time she did ok.this last time another new groomer was there and I am very disappointed. I will have to find a new groomer read more

I called early in the morning, right before a holiday weekend. She happily worked my little toy poodle in, with an already booked day AND regular clients unannounced drop ins! It was my crazy little ones first time, she came in growling, when I came back to pick her up, she was smelling great, looking like an actual dog, and was in love with her groomer! I've found our grooming place! read more

my fur baby desperately needed to be groomed and i just happened to see this spot on my way home from the park. i've only had my dog professionally groomed twice before and i was so disappointed with the results that i decided i would just do it myself. i had a really good feeling about this place when i walked in and inquired about the services and ended up making an appointment. i am so pleased with how my dog's grooming turned out! my cocker spaniel's fur is so beautifully cut and SO soft. i'm very picky and i did not want a typical cocker cut. my instructions for his cut were followed to the tee. i'm also very happy that my dog had freedom while he was at his appointment and wasn't restricted to a cage the whole time. pooch in the city now has a life long customer. thank you pooch in the city! read more

I used to live right beside Pooch in the city and loved their service. I recently moved away and took my Maltipoo to several different groomers in our new area. They don't even come close to the kind of service Pooch in the city provided. They are the best. I am going to bring my Maltipoo to them from next time, even though it means extra driving time for me. It is just not worth experimenting with other groomers. read more

Pooch in The City is the BEST Kept Secret! I love their personal care of my pooch and me. They love my dog as much as I do. She comes back tail waggin, and smells so good too. I heard they are starting to board. Just in time for my upcoming vacations. I highly recommend! read more

It was my first time having a long hair foster and was desperate to get his hair cut. He had hair loss and matting before he was rescued so his hair was uneven. They turned him into a handsome fella and couldn't have been nicer! read more

New to the city and quite hesitant about trying someone new - my little pile of poodle/shitzoo came out of there sooooo excited and so cute!

I have been taking my dog to Corrine at Pooch in the City for 2 years and would never take him anywhere else. She takes appointments for the day, not time slot and let's the dogs play while they wait. She listens to what I want, and is very accommodating for pick ups. My dog loves her and is always excited when we pull in to run and see her. read more

I have had three Standard Poodles in 27 years and have been to many dog groomers in all that time. The staff at Pooch is very attentive and treats pets like people. Tony is an absolutely outstanding groomer. He may be the best of the many I've had in all my poodle years. His attention to the detail areas is the best I've seen. Pooch was recommended by several of my neighbors who were as positive as I am. I've never been more pleased with any groomer or staff than at this super clean and convenient place. They actually care about how your pet looks and your repeat business. read more

My dogs loves coming here for his "doggie spa day". She trims his nails he usually wails like he is dying! Over dramatic pug!! He always comes home smelling good and looking great! She only accepts cash and checks for payment. No big deal just have to remember that. They take good care of my old man he's 12 years old. I wouldn't take him anywhere else for grooming. read more
