Always bring my shaggy and smelly dog here. When I come pick him up, he's a fresh smelling, clean, and strutting that puppy face look! Staff do a great job with the services they provide. They are usually busy, so make sure you book your appointment well in advance. Thank you for taking care of my dog!
I have been taking my dog Louie to the little dog house for almost a year now for his haircuts. The entire team there is professional, kind and great with the dogs. Louie always looks so good after his groom. I also want to mention the rescue they have called Cold Noses Warm Hearts, I adopted my beagle Mia from them almost 15 years ago. They always have the sweetest dogs available for adoption. If you want to support a local business and rescue this is the one to support!
TLDR: service dog shaved to skin and now cannot properly perform duties thanks to groomers My friend's dog got shaved closed to the skin, with only the head spared from the shears. My friend brushed her dog out to make sure there weren't any matted clumps and I also checked through her dog and only found matted fur on his head. Which is ironic because that's the one place they didn't shave and actually did a good job cutting and brushing. It's almost like they realized it took too much effort when they were doing the head and just decided to shave the rest of the body. She was very clear to the groomers that they can't shave her dog because it will impede his ability to work as a service dog. The frustrating part was that they made her pay over $100 for it (which I know also covers the cost for bathing but the other part of the cost that covers the cut should be refunded for what happened). Her dog is a mobility aid service dog so he has a harness that fits him when he has a short/med cut. This is to ensure the harness is comfortable on him and is steady enough to support my friend. Not only is it now uncomfortable for him (harness is closer to skin and causing pinching), it is harder for my friend to get support from her dog. Overall this caused a lot of anxiety on the dog which has caused a lot of anxiety on my friend who care deeply for her dog, I'm leaving this review in her stead because though she is graceful enough to not being this up, I'm not. We will never be coming back to this grooming shop.
I don't like to leave reviews but this was a must. have taken my dog to this grooming salon 3 times in the last year. The first time, the owner (at least that's who she seemed to be) sat me down and asked questions about Belle (my dog). She was nice, so I trusted her to care for my fur baby. I liked how they styled her so I kept taking her back. That is until I took Belle for her regular grooming maintenance on Wednesday 1/24/2024, and picked her up with a swollen shut eye (photo included). I thought it was just a hair in her eye, so I let it go, hoping it would solve on its own. However, I picked her up at noon and her eye was still swollen shut for hours, so I took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with corneal ulcer. A common cause of a corneal ulcer, according to the VCA Animal Hospital website, is "...chemical burn of the cornea. This may happen when an irritating chemical or substance such as shampoo or drywall dust gets in the eye." [https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/corneal-ulcers-in-dogs] I called them asking if anything had happened during her service and explained the situation, and she said "It could be that shampoo fell in her eye." I went back to speak to the owner in person the next day because even the vet said they should pay for the costs of illness, but I was not demanding anything. I wanted the owner to know what happened and to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else. The owner deflected responsibility the entire time, basically saying it was my dog's fault for squirming around and not staying still. I have been taking my dog to the groomers since she was a puppy, I have never received any complaints from any groomer. Yes, she does shake and have anxiety but that's normal. Plus, like I said I have taken her there at least 2 prior times and they never said anything to me, until now. She even said that if the dog doesn't let them do the service, they don't continue and call the owner letting them know. I was never called to pick up my dog because she wouldn't allow the service to be done. She got her hair cut. On top of not taking accountability, all I got was a pat on the shoulders saying "I'm sorry" not even a refund for the service which is the least she could have done. I just want to give you this information before deciding to take your dog here.
HORRIBLE! Do not take your dog to this "groomer." I have a King Charles Cavalier and gave specific instructions NOT to shave her. I got her back completely shaved and her whiskers gone. I called the owner with my dismay and he said that was standard even after I gave specific instructions. My dog can't jump anymore due to her whiskers being cut off and she's depressed. The owner was very rude and was extremely demeaning by calling me "sweetheart" the entire conversation.
They were given specific instructions not to shave my King Charles .they were to only use scissors. I called back Friday when the dog got the botched haircut. They also cut all of her whiskers off. I spoke with the owner and he refused to make the situation right by refunding me. He told me it was a standard haircut fir the dog and it's standard to cut off the whiskers. He all so told me I am a "piece of shit" and hung up on me. I would not recommend this place to anyone that cares for their animal. Stay away....far far away.
The groomers made my dog look like a skeleton. My mom and I haven't been able to stop crying since picking my dog up from The Little Dog House. I would usually never leave a review like this, but I would never want this to happen to someone else. I had to leave my 8-month-old Maltipoo with my mom and her Australian Shepherd for a month while I went away to study abroad. This left his fur long, tangled, and matted. I did the responsible thing and went to get him groomed as soon as I could. Because I spend most of the year in New York, my usual groomer is there but I didn't want to make the problem worse, so my vet in California recommended The Little Dog House to me. When I dropped my dog off, I showed them pictures of how my dog typically looks after being groomed. Because of the tangled fur, they said they couldn't leave his body as long as usual but they would cut his face the same way. I asked them nicely to please not shave his fur or cut it to the skin. After 7 hours, my dog was ready to be picked up. My mom went to get him and said she was honestly speechless and trying to hold back years because of how terrible of a job the groomers had done. My dog's fur was shaved down to his skin and his face was a completely different shape. It was exactly the opposite of what we asked for. My dog is skinny already and looks incredibly sick with shaved down fur. I'm just so upset that the groomers would be comfortable returning a dog looking like this and would charge the customer for that terrible of a cut. I definitely wouldn't recommend The Little Dog House to anyone, but especially not anyone with a poodle or a poodle mix. I've attached pictures of my dog. The first is what he typically looks like after a haircut in New York, and the second two are the haircut he got from The Little Dog House.
We had such a great experience here! They took our pup, Zombie, while we were at work for about half the day and gave him 5star service! He smells amazing, has the cutest new bandana, and is exhausted from having so much fun. Thank you! We will definitely be returning
I took my Maltipoo for a haircut and the blade they used was too sharp and they scratched his neck, ears, tail, and parts of his body. They cut off my dogs whiskers too. I gave them a happy dog and I got a terrified dog back. I went back to the little dog house and I did not even get an apology from the employees. They laughed at our faces and said that the owner will call us back. He never did. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE unless you want to come back with a traumatized dog.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. Got my dog back with a huge cut on his ear, as well as a chunk of skin taken out of his under arm that is still causing him pain. No one informed me when I picked my dog up of any of these things, extremely unprofessional. When I called to see what had happened the lady said she would have the boss/manager call me back and no one ever did. Find somewhere else to get your pet groomed this place is actually horrible. Horrible service.

They trim our Cavalier's fur exactly how we like it. He always has a good time when he goes there. We like to leave him all day to take advantage of their free day care day with the grooming. read more

Great service! My Bailey is usually scared with grooming appointments, Ive tried several places and she's too scared and won't let anyone touch her. This is the only place who was able to do everything! Thank you! read more

I have been taking our dog, Jake, to Little Dog House on a weekly basis for over a year. THEY ARE SIMPLY OUTSTANDING. Extremely friendly & reliable. Dogs don't hide how they feel. When we drive up & he sees where he is going he gets very happy. Unfortunately we have to switch groomers but this has nothing to do with Little Dog House performance. Jake is definitely going to miss all his friends & the extremely kind groomers. read more

Took my small Shitz Tzu mix pup here for a haircut today and I'm pretty happy with the results. I saw some reviews so I was pretty skeptical but I am hard to impress with haircuts so I've been trying a lot in the area; Barbie pet salon, Omar's, Paws and Claws, etc. The reason for four stars is that they do not require immunization records and they do let pups roam free like a daycare while they wait to get picked up/groomed. I know there's a lot of kennel cough and other respiratory illness's going on because of communications with my vet and dioji. I'd say if your dog has never been to a daycare this could be overwhelming and you should definitely ask them to crate your pup (that is a option they offer on their website). The staff was sweet and all the dogs seemed comfortable hanging out (you can see them walking around). Because of the vaccine policy I will not be returning because I am a anxious dog mom with a older pup but that is personal preference! Thank you for the cute cut! read more

We feel so lucky to have found The Little Dog House! After wanting to adopt a dog for a couple of years we were finally in a situation where we could. After a short visit and meet n greet with all the sweet doggies, we chose Lion, (or he chose us?) a sweet poodle and cocker spaniel mix. The staff made sure we would take the best care of Lion and it became quite obvious that they truly care about the dogs in their care and that there is tremendous doggie love throughout. Lion got a perfect grooming there before we took him home. Thank you so much. Highly recommended! P.S. We renamed him Butterscotch (Scotchy for short). read more

THEY DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB!!! This was Dexter's first haircut. He had a lot of mats, and I didn't know what I expected his cut to look like besides being short for the summer but I am overwhelmingly happy with how it turned out. They have experience grooming poodles and sheepdogs and other dogs with a lot of hair which is something I was looking for. Here's Dexter's before and after photos! I didn't know he could get any cuter!!! read more

I have used Little Dog House for many years. I have a knew puppy so naturally I took her to Annabelle for her first trip to the groomer. I left her with confidence knowing that Annabelle would take good care of her. Naturally my little Maltese looks like a beauty queen and came home completely happy. Great first experience for my 4 month old baby. She will be going to day care there for socialization while I'm away at work. Super super glad this shop is still going strong after 30 + years! read more

This was my first time at The Little Dog House. Their staff were incredibly friendly and responsive. They gave my Pomeranian mix exactly the haircut I requested and even added a feather extension. So cute! Additionally, they sent me text updates and a picture when her cut was finished. They earned themselves a long-term client! read more
