‼If your cat is named Blue and was groomed at Spot Spots pet grooming on Girad Ave , PLEASE READ THIS. I just picked my dog up from his appointment.. While there your cat was on the counter being groomed and I turned around to let my pup out of his crate in the main room and heard the groomer yell "STOP IT" followed by a loud slamming sound.. I jumped up and turned around and the cat looked terrified.. the groomer nervously started telling me "I've been fighting with this cat all day" along with some other nervous remarks... I'm not sure if he slammed your cat down on the table but to me that's what it sounded and looked like... I would never want to bash a business without fully knowing, so it is up to your own discretion.... Please if you bring your pet there be extra cautious , I for one will never be bringing my pup there again. read more

ANIMAL ABUSE. I think my original review got taken down so I am posting again. Walked by this business last week in the evening. Two cats appeared to be having sex on the floor while a loose dog ran around and barked and scratched at the front door. Many other animals loose and walking around. Very upsetting to see. Would never trust them to board my pets. read more

Called to make an appointment to groom my cat. Was told that we would not be a good fit because we exhibited red flags over the phone. Refused to say what said red flags were. read more

We have been taking our two dogs here for years and love the owner and the staff there. They always have availability for us and take good care of our dogs for grooming appointments. We do not board our dogs here but the grooming is on point and staff are very friendly. Good price for $108 per dog. read more

I tried to take my dog louie there for the first time and got turned away and told to come back another day because my dog was barking and he's only one years old he's not a aggressive dog at all but because he was barking he refused to service my baby. STRAIGHT UNPROFESSIONAL, BAD SERVICE, AND IT SMELL LIKE CAT SPRAY AND FECES. read more

They still perform a high quality service at a reasonable price, but the last time I went there the... ambiance(?) had significantly declined. Which is to say that it smelled very not good in the salon. I don't know if I'll be back. read more

I take my dog here to get groomed and they do a pretty good job I must admit but their service is not the best. It seems like every time I make an appointment and drop my dog off the person at the front has an attitude. The price is always different when I go to pay and I've been going to them for almost a year now. Wish they had better customer service. read more

I like this place a lot! Decent prices and convenient scheduling. Will definitely be back. read more

Never go back again. Sent my dog there at 10am. 3:42 i got a phone call that they had an emergency. My pup escaped his cage and exited the door. Didn't get the phone call until 40 mins after it happened. No cameras working. Business went on as usual for Phil like nothing happened. Finally got our pup back a full day later. didnt receive a call from Phil for 2 weeks. Wasn't until i took the vet bill he said he would pay. Which he did take care of. But he says he loves animals. He's full of crap. Only cares about his business. read more

I've taken my dog twice here now and his haircut both the times has been so good. Philip and the girls that do the grooming are awesome. They will ensure your requirements are followed and your pup comes out looking clean and pretty. One star less because they don't start the grooming at the exact time and your pet is essentially waiting around to be groomed. My dog gets very stressed out at the groomers so I don't like keeping him there more than is absolutely necessary. read more

Stay away from this place. The guy w the glasses literally pick up a cat and throw him w nasty attitude. The cat could broke his legs that's how bad it was. Terrible Job on Grooming my dog. Literally shave him looking like a rat the picture I shown did look nothing like the cut. I hate how they make my dog look. Place stinks has openings for same day. Not surprised they don't get business due to the lack of work and attitude. Everyone looks like they are on drugs. STAY AWAY... read more

After my dogs regular groomer vanished off the surface of the earth, I struggled a little finding my dog Hazel a new groomer (I am very protective over my baby, and I won't tolerate bad vibes when it comes to her). I tried a local groomer out of desperation, and was not exactly thrilled. So, as I should have in the first place, I took to yelp. I found this little gem due to the excellent reviews. I looked through pictures, and read the website. I could tell that the owner has a genuine love for animals, and that's what I look for! I made my appointment online, and later decided that I needed an earlier appointment. I called and was accommodated without any issues. I provided pictures of my dogs usual cut, and the groomer ( Jaquelyn) nailed it! This particular day was Hazel's 8th birthday, and they had her looking soooo adorable!! She smelled good & her nails were nicely trimmed! It look 3-4 hours, which is standard in my book, and the cost was as well. They definitely do good work here. I will be returning! read more

I took my mini golden doodle here last year after seeing all of the good reviews they had on here. The scheduling process was easy, just call and they book you based on your availability. They're pretty flexible so that was nice. On the day of, I dropped my dog off and they asked all the right questions regarding his temperament, etc. and I felt like I was leaving him in good hands. I can't speak to the inside of the place since they had everything boarded up and they met me outside due to COVID protocols. The end result was great. My dog was clean, smelled nice, and he didn't itch through out the day which sometimes happens after taking him to the groomers due to harsh products. I recently tried to book a grooming appointment again, but the process was terrible! I would leave messages, eventually reach someone who promised to call me back yet they never did. After two weeks I eventually gave up and booked my dog at another groomer. Maybe they're currently short staffed? Not sure why their service changed so drastically but if you can get a hold of them, I do recommend this place. read more

I love Spot's Spot! When I moved from East Falls to Olde Kensington I expected to have trouble finding somewhere that could do my cat's lion cut as well as his old groomer. I'm so glad I found this place, and the owner is a total sweetheart. They always do an awesome job with the lion cut and are priced exactly the same as what I was paying in Roxborough. I thought I'd have to pay more in this area so that's a plus too. read more

Spots Spot is in a great location within Fishtown. The parking can be tricky but I've been able to find parking right out front or on the side streetand it was mid to late afternoon. I took my husky Sofia for a grooming. Bring me to Philly, I found this place on Yelp with great reviews. They did not disappoint! I've taken Sofia to many groomers over the years and this was the first time that didn't have lose hair while leaving the place. That alone gives them a 5 star rating. They provide other services as well, I opted to get her nails painted because, well, she's almost a real girl. Plus, after grooming and manicure, she walks with her head high and a pep in her step! I would recommend Spots Spot for anyone with pups that shed throughout the year. Make them your one and only stop for pampering your pooch! read more

Spot's Spot has earned a new client for life and Dixie agrees! I've been shopping around for a new pet grooming spot for my puppy and her safety and comfort means so much to me. My puppy, as many other pet parents would say is an angel; but I was scared how she'd act in a new environment due to new smells and new people, but when coming to pick her up, I could tell right away that she was treated well. Philip, the owner is very accommodating and welcoming; he truly loves what he does and his staff, the lovely ladies of Spot's Spot really do love their furry clients. When I asked Dixie's groomer (I never got her name) if she behaved well, she was honest with me, stating my puppy was finicky at times when she was grooming towards her face but didn't bite or bark, which made me so happy! I look forward to having my puppy groomed by her again. Thank you The the lovely staff and Philip the owner for taking care of my puppy! I look toward to our new relationship together. I would recommend this grooming spot to pet parents everywhere. I always try to support independent businesses and this business is why I do. read more

I clean my dog's paws every time we go out. After getting groomed by Phil from Spots as a first time customer, we got back home and I proceeded to clean my dog's paws as usual. To my dismay, there was blood on the paper towel. Just to be sure I kept padding it and more blood was coming off. I would try to exhibit it further but my dog would not allow me as he pushed my hand away with his nose to show me that he was in pain. I would not be as upset if Phil had verbally told me about his error. Upon further inspection, my dog's paw pad has an opened wound. I will not be bringing my dog here again. read more

My problem with Spot Spot was not the grooming, it was the boarding! I left my Jack Russel there while I visited family in California When I returned and picked my dog up. he was dehydrated,painting so hard he could barely breathe.He was filthy, He had fleas. He had been barking so long that he lost his bark. I am SO angry.Do not take you pet there for boarding! It almost killed my Rocky read more

While I would give it 5 stars bc their groomers (the ladies) are actually quite kind and very skilled, I'm giving it a 2 star rating due to the gentleman at the desk, who I believe is the owner. I've gone to spots spot several times and will say I enjoy going to them bc they're the only skilled folks that can make my dog look his best. However last month when I took my dog (granted last minute but they should have communicated) it took six hours for him to get groomed. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the man at the desk basically blamed me and wouldn't take ownership of the situation. I still gave the ladies over 20% Grat and always have but then when I called recently to see about making an appoint 3-4 days out (so yes, very last minute I understand) the lady said ok but that it would take over four hours. I reminded her that the gentleman at the desk said that if I choose to come back again, he would "guarantee" less than 3 hours for me moving forward, she asked if I could hold and instead of actually putting me on hold, she reminded him about me and asked if I could come back. I heard him loud and clear saying "oh no, no" or something along those lines. I think if a business does wrong by not communicating (failing to tell me ahead of time or even calling during the grooming process to say that it will take a bit longer than the norm) and then tries to put the blame on you and gives you attitude for it, they should not be positively rated on yelp. I was thoroughly disappointed by them and will not be returning, despite the fact that I do not think the ladies/groomers should be penalized by not allowing me to go back since I do tip them for their top notch service of $20 at a time. read more

It was a very rushed Saturday morning, and I simply forgot to schedule my Shitzu/Poodle an appointment for her haircut and bath. It was desperately needed, specially since I had company coming over that night. Called about every groomer in the area and Spot Spot's was the only place to graciously take her in. This was amazing since it was the first time they were gonna have her in. When I dropped her off she was very anxious, but the staff calmed her down and seemed to have loved her. I know when Bella is treated well because she will want to stay, and that is precisely what she did. Bella loved it there, and they made her look beautiful! Everyone that night asked me who was Bella's groomer. read more

Found my new groomer! Thank goodness. They took excellent care of my furkid - she was washed and dried, clipped nails and ears cleaned.

Loved this place. At first the owner seemed a bit short tempered but then he was professional and caring towards my Princess. They honored my military discount. The baby looked fabulous. His employees were sweethearts as well. The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because parking sucked. If you have an appointment you would either have to leave earlier so your not late, have to double park, or park at no parking zone. I guess that's pretty much the city lifestyle is and Girard is becoming that tho is on the other side of town. read more

This was my first time at Spot's and I was so impressed. My dog is older, blind, diabetic, and doesn't get along well with other pups - they were so accommodating, and quick! I initially requested a weekend appointment, but they advised a weekday appointment so they'd be able to keep a closer eye on my pup and get him out quickly since he gets anxious. I really loved the entire staff and Baxter looks great! read more

I tried this place only because my regular groomer was on maternity leave. My dog's cut looks great but I didn't like that the wait is 3-4 hours. They have other dogs sitting in a crate waiting to get groomed. I don't get why they can't schedule the appointments so your dog's grooming starts once he's dropped off? That's how other places work that I've gone to. I wasn't comfortable with the long wait and knowing my dog was sitting in the crate half the time he was there. Other than that, he looked and smelled great and the groomer did a great job! However I will be returning to my regular groomer. Almost forgot! I was very specific about NOT cutting his tail hair. But when I came to pick him up she cut it all off. I gave her the benefit of the doubt but it was disappointing because I made sure it was clear that I hated his tail cut short. read more

I had my appointment to drop my dog off at 11 to be washed, ears cleaned and nails trimmed that's it. When I called around 2pm they said she wasn't ready and maybe another hour. When I picked her up they said they weren't able to clip her nails, so I paid $50 for my dog to get washed & ears cleaned. I give 2 stars because the price isn't matching what I'm getting and it took 4 hours for two things read more
