I went here once for a nail trim because the vet had recommended them. When I picked up and went outside with my dog I carry my dogs because they're small and to keep their paws clean when we go out. The nails were so sharp when I picked up my dog the nails cut me my neck and chest. I went back in to tell them that the nails were so sharp that they cut my skin and all they could say was well you only want it a nail trimming, not filing. I was so mad and hurting I left and would never go back or recommend! read more

Great local grooming shop. We've been using the Salty Dog on our 3 little beasts for 3 years now and have always had positive experiences. 1st and foremost, they stick to appointment times. I can't stand when I have an appointment and the dog is there all day. I understand some shops work in that manner like an assembly line, but when dogs have anxiety, it's not a positive experience for them. We have 2 dogs which are rescues and don't do well with extended stays. So kudos to SD for sticking with appointments and getting the dogs out as fast as possible. 2nd - the shop doesn't smell like wet dog, they do their due diligence to ensure the place smells good and clean. 3rd - owner / employees, they're all sweet, they converse a bit and make you feel comfortable about leaving a piece of your family with them. 4th - fair pricing, some shops are ridiculous. 5th - they offer a good product. All in, we live close to the shop and happy with the service they provide. read more

I cannot be happier after taking my dog for grooming. Brooke was phenomenal with my dog. I should have known when my dog went into an army crawl and started giving kisses that I am in the right spot. Every one was caring from the first phone call to the grooming. Highly recommended!!!! read more

This was the first and last time that I take my dog here. He came back with cuts around his belly and he definitely don't have those cuts before I took him there. I do not recommend this place. read more

Salty Dog Grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I have to give a huge thanks to these wonderful people who groomed my dog Finn. He is usually groomed every month, but horrible circumstances have brought us from Fl back to NJ. Finn was staying with a relative and was unable to find a groomer. Appointments at the Jersey Shore are booking months out. I was able to get an appointment with Salty Dog in a timely manner, and their prices were on point. When I spoke to Barbara, her kind voice put my mind at ease. There have been some horror stories at major chain groomers, and I was hoping for the best. My shaggy, matted pup was in good hands. I knew he was going to need a good shaving since his hair was long and straggly. Yes....I did shed a tear when I picked him up. These kind folks did a fabulous job, and my dog was doing a happy dance. I put 100% trust in this business and they exceeded far beyond my expectations. A big thanks to Salty Dog Grooming, and especially ( I hope I get her name right) Mariana. I am relocating back to my hometown and I definitely will be a repeat customer! read more

Was very disappointed with this establishment. Read wonderful reviews - however my dog suffered at the hands of Jacqueline -her groomer at Salty Dog Ended up at the ER and was given Rx drops for her eye that was hurt due to the amount of shampoo they got into her eye - This was confirmed by the Vet. and when I confronted the groomers they were extremely combative and unprofessional. Not once an apology was given and the whole experience was handled on their end carelessly and unprofessionally. Please beware for your fur babies! read more

The salon has a new owner, a new look, with a lot of extra touches....fresh baked pet goodies, tooth brushing services, and packages of CBD oil for sale to soothe your pet's anxiety and/or arthritis. Unfortunately, they also have a new price schedule. Our dog is 33lbs and very easy to groom. A basic puppy cut (nothing special) along with tooth brushing ($10) totaled $80. Thought that was kind of steep. Gave the groomer a $12 tip. She looked annoyed and did not even say thank you. Soooo, the whole experience totaled $92. Pricey for what it was. read more

I am from up north and my dog Krissy really needed a cut and I did not want to go home so I looked for local pet groomers and found the Salty Dog. I was a bit skeptical because she has gone to the same groomer for 15 yrs. I cannot express how happy I am. They were so nice and courteous when I showed up. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog there.Their prices are very reasonable.I will definitely be returning read more

Took both my dogs here a couple times. Last time was not good. Shaved my dogs face down to the skin near the whiskers and now it is red and inflamed. Not sure what happened this time but not consistent with other visits. Do not recommend. read more

I took my Maltipoo Curtis here today and he loved it. Curtis is a rescue and is afraid of a lot of people, but he was so calm and happy when I picked him up. They did a great job on his coat. He came in a little matted and they made him so soft and he smells great! The staff was very knowledgeable and polite. Something else I really liked about this place is that they called me when he was almost done so he could be ready to be picked up instead of crating him like other groomers do. I will definitely be coming here from now on! :) read more

The only place our Scamp feels safe and is cooperative! They take excellent care of him and he comes home looking quite dapper and smelling fabulous!! read more

Pros are the place is clean, the staff are pleasant and grooming is fairly good. Con is that greed causes overbooking and appointments are meaningless. I had a 9:30 appt & arrived on time. Already all groomers were occupied and dogs were in the back, barking, waiting to be seen. Every time my small dog is there for about 6 hours. A lot of that is spent in a cage. If your dog doesn't mind being caged then this is the place to go. CS read more

Went to the salty dog groomer they did a good job but my dog Duke was their for six hours and thirty minutes even on a Saturday it should not take this long this is why I give it a three star left another groomer for the same problem read more

im not into this grooming service, because they make my dog sit in the cage from 9 am to about 2:30 and other places it takes 2 hours to groom my small dog. they also get uncomfortable when you want to wait , you have to wait for a phone call. one time they were running behind and I got my dog back 2 hours later then they told me. and I almost missed the jet game, had to rush to the stadium. read more

I brought my adopted older dog to Salty Dog for a bath. He is aggressive towards other dogs and I was worried about him .The people there were so kind to both him and me. We were welcomed by a very friendly receptionist .We met the owner , who made my Griffin feel at home at once. I found the shop to be very clean and inviting. All the ladies who were working on other dogs were doing a great job . When I came to pick up Griffin, he looked great with a cute bandana around his neck and smelled terrific. I was told he was good on the grooming table too. Will be going back to this shop! read more
