    Clean dog, happy dog.

    Janiya clipped our 3 year old Corgi's nails today-- a feat we thought would be impossible. We've always had to dremel at home and it's always been a nightmare for all involved. She was quick, skilled and compassionate, and the mountain of anxiety and guilt that had been building inside of me for weeks just melted away. My hero! As for the rest of the do-it-yourself bath experience, things were clean, supplies stocked and available, and the dryer was strong (though adjustable). 10/10 We will be back!

    I only found out about this place on a bus ride to work. I booked an appointment to wash my dog (note online it says 15 minutes but it's for booking purposes - the actual wash gives you 1 hour of time). Staff are super friendly and will answer any question you have however naive they may be. Everything was included - regular shampoo and conditioner, de-shedding shampoo and conditioner, various combing tools, extra towels, happy hoodies (to protect ears from the air blower), and aprons. They also offer a full service package (bath, nails, gland) where price varies with dog size - for my 50 pound dog, they quoted around $55.

    Came in to wash my friend's pit-bull. Was able to get it done easily. Everything is available that is needed. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Friendly staff! Very near place to take your dog and give them a good bath and clean up! Highly recommend if you're in the area. It is by appointment only. Just so you are aware. Parking isn't the easiest.

    This is a gem in Seattle. For those living in an apartment with a hairy doggo, this place is for you. Our doggo loved his sPAW day! He had a constant supply of treats while he was getting his nails trimmed. All of the amenities were laid out in a way that was easy to use. Thank you!

    Such a drama queen

    Great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. My dog loved his time in the tub and the strong dryer really helped with his undercoat

    Clean and everything you could possibly want is there to get your dog scrubbed up in 1/2 the time it takes at home and there is no mess

    Ask the Community - Rub-A-Dub Dog Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash

    Is it possible to adjust the water temperature? During the summer, my dog likes it just on the cooler side of luke-warm.

    Yes, we adjust the temperature in the summer to cool the dogs on those hot days. Also, when you come if you want the temperature changed, feel free to ask and we can adjust.

    How much would a full service grooming for a 50lb hound mix with a short coat be?

    It would be between $46 to $50. That would include the bath, dry, brush, toenail clipping, and anal gland expression if necessary.

My 6 month old yorkipoo got his first grooming with Diane. Diane was attentive, calm, very good with my puppy and did an excellent job. Also, I appreciate her asking me what style of cut I wanted. I asked for a trim so his hair doesn't look like he got buzz cut. She seems to be very good with dogs. My pup left happy & even cuter then when he arrived. He received so many compliments so I'll definitely bring him back for another grooming. Little Bear Grooming will be my puppy's main go-to groomer. Can't wait to bring him back for another cut! Workstation/Facility: Clean, spacious, sturdy table & tub Products: pet friendly products and all the proper tools for trimming nails, cleaning ears, teeth cleaning Customer Service & Groomer: attentive, friendly, and considerate of the owner's and dog's feelings, easy to schedule an appointment, convenient Haircut/Style: cute round face trimming, I like how she trimmed and shaped his leg fur, rounded out his paws, he smelled so good and felt so soft

    I didn't plan ahead (as usual) and called asking if someone could fit Kona in the following week. I…read morethink I spoke with Paola and she was able to fit him in the next day (which bar the time was a Wednesday..?) In one of the recent photos attached you can see he is well past-due since we typically trim him at home only taking him in if absolutely needed/when his grandpawrents offer. We dropped him off around 1pm and he was done close to 6:30pm. Poor thing has high anxiety so to say the least, he was not happy when we took him home haha. Disclaimer - we give him lots of treats and love. They were short a staff member who called out that day so rather than cancelling on clients, they split the dogs amongst the ladies working and you could tell they'd were strained but still treated the dogs kindly. Cheryl groomed Kona that day and we got a kick out of her bc she doesn't sugar coat - Kona was "not good" that day as he can be very dramatic and wiggly. She was stern in a nice way towards him but you can tell she is also a perfectionist so he turned out quite round and floofy - which we loved. His coat was growing out by the next week as expected. I'd recommend taking a look a the nearby shops while waiting as there are plenty of them.

    We have been regular goers to Pawbillion, but after this last time we will not be going anymore…read more To start, the staff are lovely and kind to both us and our dog. However, multiple times now the grooming service has taken 5+ hours. The last time, we dropped our pup off at 12:40PM for a 1:00PM appointment for him not to be done until 6:00PM when Pawbillion closes. Not only did our pup take 5 hours to be groomed, but the result was poor. His head barely looked like it got worked on and his paws look like horse hooves with how they cut in between the paw pads. It is unfortunate because we have liked going and found the staff to be great to both customers and dogs. Seeing 10+ dogs leave the groomer before ours even got worked on means that our dog was sitting in a pen for at least three hours before he was attended to. And yes, we were sitting in the parking lot for 2 hours thinking our pup would be done around the 4PM timeframe (3+ hours, a more common time for a grooming) so we saw exactly how many other dogs got groomed before hours while ours just sat in a pen... If you book a customer for a 1PM appointment, then don't overbook which makes dogs just sit there. Very disappointing.

The gentleman had on a newsboy cap and the woman had reddish hair (forgive me for not having better details, I was so sad. But the sentiment remains the same.) There are businesses you visit, and then there are places that become part of your family's story. All The Best falls firmly into the latter category. Since moving to Ballard, our dog was a regular visitor. He'd shamelessly help himself to treats from the bins, tail wagging with pure delight at his "successful" heist-- the cashiers were always so gracious. And on top of that, the store regularly hosts wonderful community events (like the wading pool they set up during farmers market days.) But it was on our dog's final day that the staff last Wednesday morning truly showed us the greatest kindness. We brought him in one last time, and they let him steal treats to his heart's content. Without being asked, they prepared a goodie bag filled with food and treats he might enjoy, and they gave me forget-me-not seeds. In a moment when I was completely broken, they showed such genuine compassion and understanding. Those treats kept Teddy calm and happy in his last moments, and I will never forget the incredible kindness of their gesture. If you're looking for a pet store where your furry family members will be truly welcomed and cherished, where the staff genuinely cares about your pet's happiness, and where you'll be treated like family, this is your place. Thank you to the team for being such beautiful souls. You've made me a customer for life.
