They continually claimed that they could not trim our girl Suki's nails because she was too aggressive. Instead, we had to wait until she was having procedures done at Banfield, their pet hospital, and they would cut her nails while she was under anesthesia. We took Suki and her brother Sasha to Diana and she did them both with no problem. She handled Suki easily with either my or my husband's assistance in getting her out of the carrier, and she even commented, "this is the difficult one??" We've been back many times now and each time we're in and out in minutes. Very reasonable cost too. I don't know about any of her other services (I wish she did dry hair cuts) but for regular nail trimmings, we now go every 5 weeks or so to prevent them from scratching our new hardwood floors and furniture, and we couldn't be happier.

Yesterday afternoon my pups were outside playing in the yard. All the while I was tending to my…read morechildren and organizing the house because we had our realtor's photographer coming today to take photos of our home. Well I got so wrapped up in what I was doing I completely forgot about them. They were in the yard for almost an hour! And with all of the snow that's melted our yard is pretty muddy. Well when I opened the door to let them in they were completely covered in mud! ((My husband said they looked like they were impersonating otters )) And of course the first thing they did was throw themselves against a freshly painted wall! Haha I was in full panic mode! It was 3:30pm they were covered head to paws and I had so much left to do. I didn't want to add scrubbing mud out of every rug and wall to the list. So I called every groomer in the area 70% didn't answer the phone and the others were wrapping up, booked for the evening, and or closed. I called Grateful Dog and explained my situation and said I knew it was a complete long shot but thought I'd ask anyway. The girl was so sweet (I didn't catch her name) and even though they were nearing closing time she took both of my super muddy dogs and worked overtime on them! They looked brand new and their fur felt extra soft! She really saved our derrière! Thank you to The Grateful Dog of Rogers Park we are sooo grateful! If you haven't already give them a try! They definitely go above and beyond for their customers. We will definitely be returning!

Cory is extremely mood dependent and can be super nice or super rude. Nicole is just rude. Nicole let us know they fired Mella, one of our favorite staff along with Lindsay. Also, not sure why Nicole violated the rules by telling me but it felt unprofessional. Expect attitude and brusqueness. Booking Appointments: Normal. Phone calls and you can book online now. Book weeks in advance unless you fight the phone lines for cancellations at 7:30am. Fairly normal for a Vet practice. You can often get lucky if persistent but you must call multiple times until you get through. They have an app that is very helpful and I recommend downloading. Also they do a great job sending reminders and confirming appointments. Location: Off a main street (Skokie Blvd) and Main street. Good location. Nice building. Always clean. Smells nice. They have dedicated parking spaces. Waiting room has ample chairs and space. Cost: General visits for a dog cost me 700-800 with shots. That's crazy!! No sickness. Shots and a check up. So that's insane. They charged me about 4k last summer for what turned out to be allergies treated with cytopoint and a mange pill. Expect estimates to exceed their high cost. Vet tech appointments for fluids are easy and cost effective. Experiences: I went here the first time in 2007/8 and did a vet check and flea check. The doctor said no fleas. Turns out there were fleas and had to deal with more issues and a different vet. I stopped going. After about 12 years I gave them another chance as my previous vet moved. Incidents I've had over the last few years: Told by Dr. Miz my dog Barbara's labs weren't exciting and she was fine. Kept telling him she was lethargic and sick and wasn't herself. Even the staff knew she wasn't herself. He didn't think it was a big deal and I was exaggerating. She was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer the next week by another vet and went immediately into emergency treatment and crossed the rainbow bridge. She suffered for a week due to his misdiagnosis. Exact words on file were "Labs not exciting" Next, took them over six months to diagnose my older dog with senior mange and put him through months of expensive treatments when he needed a pill. It was horrific seeing his hair and face bubble and lose skin. Turns out his chronic kidney disease they were treating him for made hm susceptible. When I adopted a dog from Orphans of The Storm, they did her spay. She came out a completely different dog who couldn't pee the same. I was told by others in the Vet community they do cheaper spays and less anesthesia foe the rescues. What's good? Dr. Stewart is an absolute gem. She is the only reason I kept going after my traumatic experience losing Barbara. Dr. Zoe seems great as well. Dr. Miz....I don't know what to think. Part of me wants to like him because while my first experiences were so awful the lat time I saw him was really kind. He's the owner and he does have a kind face and demeanor. Dr. Zoe is wonderful and a great addition. Seriously great attitude. Bottom line: Roll the dice. You might get lucky for a while if your pet has no issues. If you're pet is sick, well, it's really hit or miss. I am leaving this because thank goodness I've moved states and no longer rely on them for Dante. Dr. Miz, since I know you read this: My advice? Train the staff to just have kindness. You have some awesome people and your vets are great. But we can't get them if your staff makes it uncomfortable to make an appointment or call in. Customer service is really starting to lack and that was never the case before. I really appreciate you for the last time I saw you and felt you were kind. As the owner, maybe you don't know some of this. I would love to have left a better review but I couldn't in good conscious. I hope it does improve because I do believe you love animals and do care and so Dr. Stewart and Dr. Zoe.

I sought groomers and most have several people involved managing a different aspect, ie washing, drying, cut, nails, and charge for each service. Too much handling and stress to any dog. I found Sophie in Park Ridge who grooms dogs 20#'s and under in her home salon. On 10.18.19, I brought a shaggy Freddie to her. She shared her training, grooming legend and success working with puppies and challenging dogs. Sophie told me within 5 to 15 minutes Freddie would be manageble. I left and expected a call to pick him up, but received videos of Sophie singing and talking to a content Freddie. A bit later, 1.5 hours, I received a photo of Freddie groomed to perfection. Freddie was peaceful and happy. Sophie's grooming expertise and connection to dogs is beyond words. She is the dog whisperer of groomers.
