The grooming quality at The Hairy Hound has been consistently solid since I started coming here in 2020 with my Husky, Maxim. He usually goes in for a bath and nail trim, and each visit leaves his coat clean, well-brushed, and under control. They handle heavy shedding well without overdoing it, and they always finish him off with a bandana, which is a nice touch. Customer service has been reliable and efficient over the years. Drop-off and pick-up are straightforward, and they stay close to the estimated timing. The staff handles Maxim appropriately, which is important for a larger, high-energy breed. The shop itself is clean and organized. The location is easy to access, and parking has not been an issue during my visits. It is a convenient setup for routine grooming without unnecessary hassle. read more

Have been going to this location for several years. New owner last year and in the fall experienced issues with services. Always paid in full and alerted to concerns last two times with no resolution or offer to correct. Took several months off to allow hair to grow out even and get a fresh grooming start. Owner and team agreed that they saw my notes on account, then the day I brought in I discussed again concerns and history. Came to pick up and had an additional $40 charge for mat removal, that was not discussed or called to me. They stated we don't call to alert to additional cost/fees..WHAT? So, no need to address the cost associated to the service, I am just expected to cover no discussion? Please note, if called I would have approved if I understood the need, but while there could be areas to remove it was not anything of known nature or huge impact. Outcome: Poor Communication, Lack of corrective action when concerns presented and up charges for items not discussed. Be aware, services were wonderful until mid 2024 now I am questioning my provider options. read more

Wow! I'm lost for words! My fur baby has never looked SOOOO GOOD! Kristen is absolutely AMAZING! Even though my baby wasn't so nice to her (I'm so sorry Kristen :( ) she was sweet, caring and loving to my baby. She made him look amazing, he is a Havantzu, Havanese with Shih tzu, so his hair gets really matted and tangled. She cleaned him up and you can tell he feels so much better. Im happy and thankful I'll be able to take him back for his next appointment. Best Grooming In Tampa! read more

I am SO impressed with this dog grooming business! My daughter's small dog was very matted. She is also an extremely fearful dog and cries like a maniac whenever we have taken her to groomers. In fact, when we have taken her elsewhere in the past, they also always needed an extra few hours and many more dollars than originally requested to complete the job. We didn't really expect much different from this place, we had tried so many others. When we brought Luci in to be groomed she was doing her usual terrified scream/crying. The grooming itself took about an hour and a half from when we brought her in. No extra time or up-charges. When my husband picked her up, she was beautifully groomed, no nicks, smelled great and was sporting an adorable bandana. The most surprising thing was - Luci is usually angry for the rest of the day after getting groomed and barks at every little thing. Luci came home clean, beautiful, and CALM!!! For the first time ever!!! These people are PURE MAGIC. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Hairy Hound!!! You have a very satisfied life-long customer. read more

After a less than stellar experience with another groomer we decided to take our 5 month old Goldendoodle to The Hairy Hound based on yelp reviews. Ruth and her team were great from start to finish and Luna got the cut we were looking for. Despite the longer drive to their location I'm sure we'll be bringing here her moving forward. read more

The Hairy Hound is located at a shopping plaza that seems questionable at first glance. But don't let that fool you as the shop itself is a clean and friendly place. Amanda at Hairy Hound is my go to person to groom my 2 yorkie boys. She is the best groomer that we have encountered. If she leaves, I would be crazy enough to follow her even if out of state. Prices are reasonable: $49 for full grooming for a small dog. They usually come out smelling like coconut shampoo with a fun bowtie or bandana for the boy fur babies. Tip: First time client can get $5 if you check in using the Yelp app or mention the offer. read more

My dog is a very loud and big baby when it comes to grooming. I spent an hour trying to shave the winter fur off from being up North. IT WAS A DRAMA. They got me in quickly and in less than 40 minutes, had him completely groomed, ears done and nails done. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!....they are miracle workers. In addition to being quick, it stresses him out less. They are artists! read more

I am so incredibly pleased. Hairy Hound takes such care with my fur babies and always does exactly what I ask.

Always love how my pup looks when she walks out of here, no problems, never ever any issues, and they listen to me and that's what's most important Khalessi loves going here too. I will never use anyone else to groom my Havanese. Thank you Hairy Hound for always listening and taking such great care of our pup Khalessi. She looks beautiful!!!!! read more

This is my third time bringing my 8 month old puppy here. I am utterly disappointed in their customer service. I ask every time how long it will take and they say couple of hours. This time they said the same thing. I get there early because I am driving all the way from South Tampa in the middle of my work day. I wait in the car and I decide to call them after it's been 2 and half hours. I am then told she's going to be another 30 minutes or so. My beef is this... you call your clients when you are running late, whether it's five minutes or 5 hours. Things happen people get behind, it happens BUT call your clients letting them know period! Point blank I do not spend my money at establishments that do not respect their clients time. I have been a business owner for over 10 years and customer service which includes communicating with your clients on time frames is critical to having happy repeat customers. Needless to say I will not be coming back again! read more

Best groomers ever! Our German Shepherd, Reagan, always comes out looking and smelling great! German Shepherd are tough because of their double coat and excessive shedding. After a trip to this groomer she looks five pounds thinner from the deshedding. We very highly recommend to everyone! read more

I am so happy with the services here. Our dog actually prances after a visit for nails and grooming.

Bad business model. Charge a $25.00 upfront fee to book, and for personal reasons, we had to cancel. We did this a month before the appointment yet no refund. read more

I am so happy about the Hairy Hound. The best of the best. Ruth did absolutely incredible work on my little boy!! I don't think I've ever had him get a cut and Wash I was so happy with!

Very impressed!! We are staying near Clearwater for only a few months, but our labradoodle was in desperate need of a haircut! He was a little matted, so I knew he needed a patient groomer and probably a very short haircut. I am very picky with groomers and I was having a hard time finding the perfect place. My husband discovered Hairy Hound, and when I read the reviews, I was sold. They have so many great reviews and I can see why! My dog looked so handsome after his haircut and he came out smiling with lots of energy which is always a good sign! He is so soft and smells great and they gave him a cute bandana. The staff was also very sweet and in my opinion it is very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Very pleased with my first visit to the Hairy Hound! Ruth was amazing with my Baby and amazing with her nervous mom as well. This was my Maltese puppies first grooming and due to a lot of factors she was pretty matted. Most places wanted to shave her even Ruth mentioned it but was willing to work her magic and work on her gently and slowly to see if we could avoid shaving. I was so pleased she was able to completely de mat her! She came out fluffy, smelling good, mat free and even her little eyes were a lot cleaner from tear stains. From the minute I walked in i could feel the vibe was very positive and very caring. Also very busy which means they must be very good and very popular :) When Ruth took my baby in her arms I fully expected Martini to freak out with one of her separation anxiety fits but she sat there calmly looking at me with a puppy smile which made me feel so comfortable leaving her in their care. They also listened to my requests regarding cut and didn't just do whatever they wanted which I am happy about. The prices are also very reasonable and they seem very knowledgeable and professional. I am so glad I found the Hairy Hound I look forward to many more grooming appointments and salon visits for my little Martini Take your baby here for their next salon visit I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

I am new to the area from California. I read reviews on several places before I decided to go here and avoid some other places. The lady who took my initial phone call was very thorough. She asked the right questions and really cared. Today I got all three of my dogs groomed. They came back so soft!! They look GREAT!! My girl dog had bows in her ears and the boys had scarves! So so cute! And they all smell much much better! read more

Took both my canines in for a thorough grooming. It was a stress-free trip for both canines (one of which had never been to a professional groomer before), and for myself as well. The shop is on the small side, which I like! The staff are personable and both the dogs liked them straight away, which is a minor miracle already. I've never used a groomer on a regular basis, but for the reasonable prices and the thorough grooming job, I will definitely be returning with my canines in the near future. read more

Amazing service and amazing people! This is the greatest groomer and my pup LOVES them! My love always comes home clean and pretty. They're fair with pricing, and easily located. Thank you Hairy Hound for always treating my baby well! read more

The hairy hound is absolutely amazing. I could not find another groomer with such glowing reviews, I had to try them. Ever since trying them, we have not looked back! I have a goldendoodle with anxiety, who has gone through a terrible grooming experience at another shop. I was so scared to leave him, but they immediately put me at ease. The owner is amazing and her took time with our boy. Besides being comfortable with them, he always comes out looking great! I could not recommend this grommet enough! read more

I'll tell you I've been to pretty much every groomer in the Clearwater Largo area. And they all stunk. But this groomer is different. When you walk in there is no smell of dog. At all. It is clean almost antiseptic in its appearance. They treated my dogs beautifully and they were done beautifully. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.The owner came out and greeted us when the dogs were done. Pricing is reasonable. The only qualm I'd have is that it does take a long time for the dogs to be done. But the quality of work that went into grooming the dogs was worth the wait. I can't recommend this highly enough! read more

My 6 year old Shih Tzu, Chocky, and I love The Hairy Hound! As a new dog owner, I initially took my dog to PetSmart to get his hair cut, but it was ridiculously priced for all that they did just because he is a Shih Tzu. Here, at The Hairy Hound, the prices are reasonable (based on size) for such quality work on Chocky. Booking is easy, either through calling or online, and I love that convenience! Most of the times, I can book appointments within 2 days because we don't have a favorite stylist, so someone is almost available (and they all do such a great job). Whenever we enter, we are always happily greeted and Chocky is never nervous, so I feel at ease leaving him there. Chocky always leaves The Hair Hound happy and looking fresh with his new cut. read more

I bring my 2 dogs here. Ruth do a pretty good job with my pups. Reasonable price. I recommend.

I've been taking my dogs here for years now. They take such good care of my dogs Sprite and Pepper each time they go. I also started bringing my other dogs here. Every groomer here is very personable and friendly and I know my doggies are in good hands. I started taking my other two (who don't need haircuts) just for baths as well. I recommend them if you are looking for a great groomer that is affordable! read more
