    Before his wash and trim
    Julia R.

    I am extremely satified with my service. My dog got a bath, trim, nails, etc. done. He has medium hair, and they did such a good job. He was so happy and content. I was able to make an appt the same week, and pricing was reasonable. Im definitely going back.

    These folks do a great job and I have 2 dogs. A big Sheepadoodle and a soft coated wheaten terrier. Another place wanted to shave my Sheepadoodle after getting weekly grooming for a year! I was outraged and Maria thankfully has gotten him back to his beautiful coat which we love! Thanks uptown for your hard work! Highly recommended!! Even if u go somewhere else, give them a try u won't be disappointed. Dr David H Hanson

    before and after
    Jessie C.

    Love this place! The before and after for my pup speaks for itself. It was his first pro grooming ever and I was nervous he wouldn't be able to get groomed since he won't even let me brush him! I dropped him off and pointed to a picture of a dog in the wall and left to hang out at a nearby cafe just in case. I was able to pick him up about an hour and a half later and was absolutely shocked at how great he looked. He's especially prone to tear stains but they cut his face down short enough that they haven't been sticking around which is awesome. I'm only able to trim his face with kid scissors when he sleeps! Gem of a place; a no muss, no fuss local business with nice staff and reasonable prices.

    I am so happy I tried this place, they do an amazing job with my pup. I only take her here now, their availability is good, they are so kind and sweet with my dog and make me feel comfortable leaving her. Prices are fair too which is hard to find in the city!

    Choppy chest area and chopping face area!! Completely botched!

    Do not take your dog here!! Would give 0 stars if i could!! Before preforming any service on my dog i was contacted by the owner who does the cuts on the dogs im assuming , she asked what kind of cut i needed on my dog i told her all i needed was a fur trim, he is an Australian Shepard so he has long fur. We came home with the fastest service I've ever experienced, and the WORST. never has he returned from any groomer looking this bad! For starters the fur cut is completely botched, uneven lengths of fur behind his legs and face. His fur is cut to its absolute shortest possible length any more and it would've been considered a shave. I called the business and asked to speak to a manager who i guess is the owner as well! She seems to run this place alone. The owner for starters claims this job is a fur trim and not a full blown cut?? On top of that she simply said "i dont know what to tell you im not going to apologize for the service that you asked for". Clearly they have very little experience in working with different breeds because all groomers should understand that the aesthetics for different breeds differ. The business owner did not offer any help to try and fix the situation. To top everything off she hung up on me!! When paying $70 plus TIP you are paying for a service that is well executed. This is the worst groomer that I've ever experienced and the worst possible costumer service. Do not trust these inexperienced people with your pet. Its sad to see this nasty behavior coming from a small business, with this attitude theyll lose any possibility of having new costumers in the future.

    Perfectly groomed Biggie

    We recently took our baby Biggie to a grooming appointment at this amazing find! We were more than happy with the professionalism and job well done. We had taken Biggie, a Havanese poodle to other places before and all they would do is shave him. Not this place, the lady that attended to him was genuinely interested in what we needed and wanted done to him. When we picked him up he looked perfect. You can tell it was done with care and patience. Very pleased!

    I needed a last minute groom for my Maltese, and most shops in Andersonville require a couple of weeks advance notice. This business was able to see my pup within four hours of my call! To be honest, when I dropped him off I was let down by the appearance of the shop. I actually questioned if I should leave him or not - it's just a storefront that looks a little run down. But let me tell you - this was the quickest, best, least expensive cut I have gotten for my dog in years. On top of that, the woman who runs the shop is very sweet. Her kids were there when I dropped off and picked up my dog. Quite frankly, I'd rather my money go to this family than to any larger store. My pup was very happy, clean, and well groomed and only ONE HOUR later! We will definitely be back. Please know you can trust this business!

    My cat's botched shave...
    Becky S.

    If you don't groom cats, DON'T SAY you groom cats!!! Maybe you do nail trims, and that's fine, but I brought my cat in for a shave and a few minutes later my cat was returned to me with just one spot of hair shaved...basically a botch job. Look, she's a cat. And even though she's a very sweet and social cat, she's going to protest a bit. I wasn't allowed in the back where they took her and it sounded like it was just one woman and a little kid. If you're going to put a razor to my cat, an adult better have two hands on her for her safety and yours. I wasn't charged, thankfully, but I just can't believe that after a few minutes she gave up. She could have asked me for help to calm her, or better yet, have an assistant!!! I'm super disappointed.

    Pappy liking his spring cut!

    See all

    These ladies did a great job with her lion cut even though I KNOW she was difficult and I really appreciated it.

    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.

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.
