Groom Dog City

I’ve taken a dog that I dog sit here a few times. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The dog I bring here doesn’t always like other dogs, but the staff handle her very well. She always looks wonderful after getting her nails and coat combed. They even put little bows on the dogs, which is a nice touch. Definitely recommend this place!

Had a go at hand stripping my BT Ham on my own and I did quite well on his body and legs. However when it came to his face, ears and tummy I was confident and Ham could tell and wasn’t up for my amateur skills. So I called Groom Dog City and they were happy for me to pop down and assess what was needed. The staff are very friendly and Ham loved the attention. As not much was needed I got comfy on the sofa while Ham had his beauty treatments. He was well handled and he behaved very well, while we humans had a bit of natter. My only jibe was his beard was trimmed too much which made Ham look a bit like a pin head. I didn’t say anything as they did a good job overall and nothing could be done, it will grow back, also it’s so hot at the moment. They have a shop near Victoria Park too which is even more convenient for me. Will definitely use them again.

Very friendly staff and convenient location. Caught several of my dogs nails during a cut though and they bled a fair amount.

My dog likes to look fresh.
Haha, not really. If it were up to her she’d let herself resemble Pigpen, would roll around in dirt and feces, and would generally look like she’d just been through a forage in the forest.
However, as an apartment dog… this is not acceptable. She is a shorthaired lady, so she doesn’t need the particular cut, but every few months she does need a deep down brushing, scrub and nail trim (something about trimming another beings nails terrifies me)…and thus we search for her spa.
Easier said than done in East London! But I finally found Groom Dog City and I am quite pleased with the output. It’s in a little shop near Haggerston/​Columbia Market, they took my appointment quickly, the staff was very nice (both the owner and the assistant), and 45 minutes later I returned and was gifted back a dog that looked to be much cleaner and about 4 bales of hair lighter. Win.
Reasonably priced too! For the works on my type of dog (again, no cutting/​trimming required) for bath, eyes, ears, nails, brushdown — about £25. I also left a tip because I have to believe this is thankless work giving spa treatments to animals who do not wish to be pampered. If they only knew!
They even returned her to me with a little bow.
I’ll be visiting again next time she starts to resemble a vagabond…
*appointments easily made online (he called me back right away).
*there are a few shop dogs, word to the wise. I mentioned my dog wasn’t so nice with other dogs she doesn’t know, and they easily blocked them off. I’m sure my dog was still a nervous wreck, but there is a price to beauty and to coexisting with humans, Tillie.

my dog was four weeks past due his groom and having moved a to a new city, it can be tricky looking for something outside of the regular. anna w.‘s review convinced me that this one was worth checking out, and luckily, groom dog city is conveniently located nearby.
the consultation was quick and concise. the price is affordable. they promised me about 2.5 hours, and they were even finished before then. most importantly, Peaches got one of the best haircuts he’s had in a while. and you might not be able to see it in the photo, but they put a small xmas bow on his collar (awww).
we will be back.

If you want your pup to be the finest looking bish in the park, this is a great place to start. I’ve been taking my dog here for almost a year (since she was a puppy) and she’s always come out looking sparkly and fabulous. The owner and the groomers are obviously dog-​lovers and that shows. It’s affordable, they do what you want– and can advise on what cut looks best, and everything can be done within a two-​hour time frame.
