    Amazing!!!!!! Joel was great with both my big dogs. I have a horrible shedder and he was able to get it all out and make him look like a normal dog again. Pricing was super affordable for the service and convenience. Will definitely be recommending this business to friends and family! Thank you a again! I've also included before and after pictures of my Shepherd mix. He was losing his winter coat. Just amazing work!

    Mobile Groomer! DREAM COME TRUE! I have two dogs, corgi mix and big black lab. They both love this groomer. They jump up to greet him every time . He even does cats, yep cats. The best part is he comes to your house in a van that's fully equip. No more leaving my dogs with those sad eyes of doom. They just hated being in cages for hours and the noise of the other scared pups around them. Now they run back into the house happy, jumping and looking great. They do a great job, from bath, nails, ears and cuts. Also I'm so happy they do bathing service for my big dog. While he's not cut he gets a nice bath, ears and nails. Oh and did I mention deshedding, yes deshedding. The dogs are returned dry to the house no wet pup running around. No more long winter stink going on because he thinks the tub is a monster. I promise you'll love their service. I see a big difference in my home as well, less dog hair and dander. Im not having to change out air filters as much. My sister with allergies has less problems when she visits. You and your pup won't be disappointed. You'll see in the way your pup interacts with him and the great job he does.

    Excellent! Great service. They showed up on time, were available after 5:00, and did a good job on my pup. I'll be calling them again

    We came here the first time last month because our cavapoo desperately needed a cut before she went…read morein for her surgery. I was thrilled that Howlistic Grooming had availability and had such stellar reviews. With the large number of dogs in the area, it's a relief knowing we can book here less than a month in advance. They did a great job taking care of our pup, and she was in a happy mood when we picked her up! We've been back again now for a bath and she is in looks fantastic and smells great! Definitely recommend checking them out!

    I rarely leave reviews, but I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Howlistic Grooming…read more This was my dog's second visit, and before leaving him, they specifically asked if he would be receiving the same haircut as last time. I said yes and confidently left, expecting consistency with the previous groom. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. They cut my dog's hair extremely low and completely ignored the previous grooming guidelines. When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying When I expressed my concerns, the groomer responded by saying she had "shaved his nails for free," which she said is normally a $10 add-on. I explained that it still didn't address the issue at hand and that it should have either been communicated or charged properly as an add-on if that was the case, because it didn't resolve my concern about the haircut. I was told there was "nothing they could do" and that "for future reference" I should bring a photo. I didn't think a photo was necessary for a repeat appointment when the staff made it seem like they already understood what was expected based on his last service. The manager called the next day, listened to everything that happened, and ultimately only reiterated that they do not offer refunds or discounts. No apology, no empathy, and no accountability for the poor experience. The only response I kept hearing was "for future reference." To make matters worse, my dog's ears were cut so short that he barely even looks like he has ears anymore. The haircut looks nothing like the previous groom, and it's honestly upsetting to look at. Since the appointment, he hasn't even seemed like his usual energetic self. I trusted this salon to care for him properly, and instead I left feeling dismissed and deeply disappointed. A total waste of $80 and a tip. PHOTOS BELOW: As you can see in the attached photos, his beautiful black coat was shaved down entirely too close, leaving his face and ears completely bare.

I know we won't be able to find someone like him anywhere else and that makes me and my husband really sad. A. My dog loved going to John, he never felt stressed after John's haircut. B. Have you seen how clean his shop is? My jaw dropped when I first went there. C. His cuts are so amazing, Toby was getting complements constantly. D. Shampoo that he uses is amazing, smells so good. E. My dog is anxious, but John never had a problem working with him somehow , he usually never sits still for anyone. F. He is a professional groomer and I don't think you will find someone like him at least in Chicago area. I can go on and on.

    Not sure what superlatives I can add to what many others have written except to say all of them are…read moretrue. One of the true pleasures of living in a big city it to discover treasures in the most unexpected of places. Who would think that dog grooming would be one such place but I consider CleanDog to be a treasure in Chicago. John brings a rare combination of pride or work and some kind of genius for dog grooming that is ineffable; he just has a feel and an incredible talent for working with dogs. What brought me in the door for our Maltipoo Bailey is that I was looking for someone who would not immediately resort to shears to deal with some matting (admittedly, we had let Bailey go and she was very matted). I know that taking her to our prior groomer would result in her coming home shivering and looking like a short-haired chihuahua. Reading the reviews here led us to CleanDog. In short, John did not disappoint. He is so kind and helpful and went the extra mile (and then another extra mile and then another after that). As others have experienced, we could not believe how wonderful she looked. In fact, it was the best she has ever looked, hands down. John patiently brushed her out, gave her a much needed bath, and then working his own unique magic, brought out the scissors and turned her into a show dog. I can't imagine taking her for grooming anywhere else in Chicago.
