Groomingdales Spaw

They really deserve zero stars! I took my dog there two weeks ago. She has been ill ever since. I noticed a few days after being groomed at Groomingdales that she developed a rash under her neck and her eyes were inflamed. We took her to the vet and $ 150 later we found out she had conjunctivitis, skin irritation, and inflammation in her ears from her ear hair being ripped in clumps from her ears. She is not the same dog, now cries at night, eyes are still infected, ears stilled bothering her– going to have to take her back to the vet!! I really don’t think the groomers at this place are properly trained or the place is clean in the back. I even tipped them ahead of time to be careful with my dog. If you love your dog don’t take them to Groomingdales!

I brought my American Eskimo here for grooming, I told them before hand he had some matted fur. When I picked him up he still had clumps of matted fur and it cost 50 $, I normally wouldn’t mind paying that much as that is the usual cost to groom him however they did a terrible job. I will not be coming back.

Our furry friends need some loving too. So how do you judge a place when your furry friend can’t talk, tell you to stay away, run for the hills and to just please take them home?
Well if you get yourself a bad haircut, people are rude or you get bad service you simply don’t go back right? You take your kid to a daycare they tell you they hate it. So you find somewhere else to take them that they will enjoy. It is hard finding a trustworthy person to care for someone that is part of the family. When you pay so much for a service you expect a certain quality and standard of care. So finding boarding and grooming is like finding a sitter, daycare or someone to cut your kids hair that will take them into consideration and not treat them as a number. You know the same care you expect for yourself.
This place was recommended to me by a friend while desperately trying to find a sitter for our new puppy 7, yes that’s her name. It was so last minute and after running out of people I trusted asking for a favor. I decided to give these guys a call on the day before a scheduled trip to leave the next morning. We needed overnight boarding for four days and I was able to drop her off the next morning. We figured since we were taking a mini vacation why not give our puppy 7 some TLC too and get her the works grooming they offered since she was already going to be there.
The big day came. Having to drop off your furry friend with a stranger knowing you will be away and too far if you get a call that something is wrong. I handed her over as she shook and trembled in fear trying to figure out where she was. She could hear the other dogs barking and started to look around. I handed her over in hesitation and leave.
Then four days later our vacation was just about over and no call yet. So you figure, no news is good news. Finally, in route back to Houston and about an hour away the phone rings. Yes, our puppy 7 was all dolled up and ready for pick up as promised.
I get there to pick her up and she was as happy as can be wagging her tail like crazy. She looked so adorable with her new cut.
The staff here is very friendly and they are animal lovers in my opinion. I have now taken 7 back for overnight boarding and grooming a few times since our first visit. She knows where she is going now. She gets excited when I park and she realizes where we are. She goes with the staff with no hesitation and is happy as can be every time I have had to drop her off. So that tells me they are doing something right and so am I by bringing her here. She is a maltese and very very very high maintenance. Her fur has to be blow dried after her bath which takes a good hour of my day to make sure she stays nice and fluffy. So the fee ($ 50) for grooming here is irrelevant for me. The overnight boarding fee is only $ 15 since she is a small dog. So I’m happy if she is happy and so far she hasn’t complained.
Big props for these guys on the last minute drop off for grooming. I tend to get busy during the week and forget to set her up an appointment but these guys have been willing to work her into their already busy schedule.
I’m glad I found me a spot that is dependable and 7 enjoys. I like that she can feel at home while away from home. I’m sure she is looking forward to her next sleep over.

I took my chow chow mix here yesterday since my mom said her hair was messy and needed to just be trimmed up and such. The drop off time was early (between 7am and 10am), and well the night before I had a long night of studying/​gaming/​animé, so I woke up late (10:30am). I freaked out and called them asking if I could still take her in, and they were really understanding and told me «Of course, we aren’t that strict!» so that made me very happy because oversleeping does happen. When I got there, my doggy, Moushi, realized what type of place it was (the groomers) and started to get really nervous and was refusing to go in. Once I finally got in through the doors, she was still pacing around trying to go back outside while I was filling out forms. When I was done filling papers out, one of the groomers came out to discuss with me how I wanted the cut and then the receptionist came out and started to try to bring Moushi in. She’s a stubborn dog and was refusing with all her might (sitting down, pulling away, etc.) and when she finally got through the door, she was still being stubborn until this older friendly looking guy came out to get her. The guy that came to get her seemed to love dogs a lot and did not seem scared of her at all (most people are since she is mixed with a German Shepard and looks like she could attack but in reality she’s a scaredy cat who has not bitten a single person, just has a powerful bark «all bark and no bite»). He squatted down and started petting her and saying it’s ok and at that point she trusted them a little bit more so then more easily went to the back with them. When she was all finished up, they gave me a call and I went to go pick her up. She came out super adorable! I really liked the cut and last time I took her somewhere, they said they couldn’t do a cut on the body where hair was left still since it will make a choppy cut or whatever so we just got the lion cut (body shave down leaving just the head, legs, and tail), but here is proof that it is possible even with her hair type. My mom said that she looks like a boy and doesn’t like it because she’s a girl but that’s just because her hair is short haha. She did say it was better than the last haircut I got for her so that’s good. Like other reviews have stated, after she came back home, she was very thirsty, but I think it was because of the fact she was in an unfamiliar setting and scared of these types of places in general. I mean being scared all day can really put a toll on you. Overall, the experience here was great, only downside was the thirst but everything else was great!
Note: They are not allowed to give the dogs treats unless you provide it directly to them, so if your doggy really loves food like how mine does, bring some treats to them so they can occasionally reward your doggy or they also sell some at the counter. I didn’t know this policy and had to buy treats when I got there.

Been taking both my dogs (poodle and German Shepherd) here for a few years now and they’ve always done a great job. Also, their prices are awesome! Way cheaper than Petsmart!
They used to be located off of Keith Harrow and Queenston, but they moved to a better location off of FM 529. The parking is better too.
Upon walking in, you get a whiff of doggie shampoo. It’s a little strong and potent in my opinion. If you ever notice, they write down all appointments on a piece of paper and have your dogs history and charts on lined notebook paper. Don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s not organized. Its their system and it works! I’ve been coming to Groomingdales for years and they always remember how I want my dogs groomed!
I like that they do early morning drop offs. I’ll usually drop my dogs off at 7 am and they’re always done by 12−1pm.
My dogs are always well groomed and cut the way we want. When I pick up my dogs, they come out looking fresh and smelling great. They also put on a cute little bandana on them as well.
Staff is friendly. They give nice courtesy calls when your dog is ready.

I took my 7 month female German shepherd who is not very fond of taking baths. I decided to look into a professional grooming salon, and I ran into groomingdales through Unilocal reviews. Initially, I was very pleased with their quick service. I called 2 hours before they closed, and they were more than happy to take my dog in for a bath service. Needless to say, I called several other places a few weeks back, and they could not provide same day services or you were required to fill out a silly application to be approved. As far as the services go, I was quite pleased from the moment I got there to the 1 ½ hours later when I picked up my dog. Her coat was shiny, and she smelled great! Overall. I highly recommend this place for great customer service, affordability, and a professional job well done. I will definitely be coming back!

Found them as I drove by about a year ago. They are kind and soft handed with the dogs. They have one groomer who handles the «hard to groom» pups and that includes my new dog, Digger and Cirroc. We had been refused service (come pick up your dog) at several of the big chain groomers and a couple of the locals too. I brought him here expecting to get a call to come get him. Instead I got a call when he was finished. He looked great, he is a Shih Tzu that believes he is a pitty.
Anyway, he looks great, does not balk at grooming anymore (at least here). I highly recommend this shop to anyone.

I took my 9yr old shihtzu this morning for a full groom. With tax is was $ 50 which is average to cheap for these types of grooms. Especially with nail cutting included. They were friendly and even called to confirm how I wanted her ears cut. She looked super cute! She also isn’t hiding under the bed this time which is what she usually does after a cut. So overall I’m impressed, I just don’t like having to come between 7 – 10 am to drop her off. I had to wake up an hour earlier just to make it to class

I have taken my pomeranian here twice. The first time, I was satisfied, although disappointed at how long it took because my dog does have separation anxiety. My dog was also very thirsty and hungry after his visit. The second time, I had to call to check when he would be done. It had been 9 hours and no word! They told me another 20 mins. Then I got a call right back telling me my dog had been scratching at home and his privates were all raw. This didn’t sound right because my dog very rarely scratches. When I picked him up, they were telling another couple the same thing as well as cleaning up blood from that dog’s pads. When I got my dog home, I looked at these raw spots. I was shocked to see so many horrible red, raw, FRESH marks! There is no way those were old marks as I was told! On top of that, my dog has been crying out every time I pick him up. He loves to be picked up! I feel he may be bruised along his neck/​spine. They seem like nice people, decent price. However, I will NEVER take my dog back here. After this last time, I have zero faith in them that they treated my dog how you would want your dog treated. I will pay the extra money for my dog to be happy and safe.

I would not recommend anyone bring their pet here for anything. I brought my dogs and they nicked one on the face so bad that it required antibiotics and bandages because of the excessive drainage cause by the infection. They never even mentioned they nicked him when I picked him up, My vet had to clean the hair out of their ears because Groomingdales did not do this during their «full groom.» They keep the dogs for an entire day and do a terrible job. I will not return.

Very nice, did a good job, good price, and my dogs seemed to like them. Will be going back.

Friendly. I used to take my dogs to Petsmart but my dogs always came back home looking choppy. I decided to give Groomingdales Spaw a try and, they did an awesome job. My dogs looked adorable! Two thumbs up for Groomingdales Spaw!

I brought my Yorkie to Groomingdale’s for years, through a few different moves. I was happier years ago before the ownership changed. It seemed they started to put quantity before quality. Rather than putting her hair up in bows like they used to, they started slapping a bandana around her neck. It’s a Yorkie, not a lab :(The most disturbing thing was that every time I went to pick her up, she was so thirsty she was panting and dehydrated. I just could not continue to put her through that, since they kept her all day most of the time. She deserves better than that.

Very friendly. They do good work too! I wish i had a picture of some of their work. They made our dog look like a real dog! Hahahaha! They were nice enough to clip both dogs’ nails and even trim the facial hair of our puppy for $ 18 all together (with no appointment).

First of all, I love the name! Yes, it makes me think of dancing men, but that’s a different review completely. Jack (maltese) and Prissy (Yorkie Poo) have been shampooed, clipped and cared for by these folks for many years now. I can call for an appt the next day, or I’ve been able to drop off (early) without an appt a few times too. They’ll keep a file on your pet, making sure the shot records and contact info is kept up to date. Since my pets are small, they can share a kennel or you can request separate spots for them if that’s a problem. Everytime we return to pick up Jack and Prissy, they’re decorated with a holiday themed or other cute bandana ’round their neck. Jack’s styling is usually around $ 30, Prissy isn’t as hairy so she’s a little cheaper. They also board pets for $ 13/​day.
