Dog-O-Mat 2

We went here for the first time yesterday, and I was nervous because my pup can get a little crazy when she’s in new places. The few dogs that were just hanging out there were super friendly, and my dog calmed down right away. We were given a quick walk through (it seems like all of the shampoos are made in-​house, which is awesome) and we got to work. 20 minutes later we had a clean, dry, happy dog, and for a VERY reasonable price. Usually I have to bathe my dog bent over our tub, so it saved me a lot of back pain too. We’ll definitely be regulars here from now on.

WHat is not to love about this place?! We walked in with 2 stinky, hairy dogs with long nails. We used their hair trimmer, nail clipper, and the awesome elevated deep tub for both dogs. $ 35 and an hour later, walked out with two beautiful dogs and no mess for me to clean up. This is our go-​to place!

This is our go to self grooming for our dog, no appointment needed. Extremely helpful and treat you like family the moment you walk in the door. Affordable pricing as well as a special treat for your dog. Highly recommend!

The girl stunk and was in bad need of a bath. Dog-​o-​mat is close to home and promised to be less $$$ than a groomer-​we took her in with no appointment and washed, conditioned and dried her as well as got her nails cut in 30 minutes and for just $ 24.
Awesome elevated tub for her and aprons for us kept mess to a minimum — and two «house dogs» that were among the gentlest dogs I’ve seen. Our dog, who has been known to be fairly dog selective didn’t bat an eye.
We are sold and will be regulars! Yay for dog-​o-​mat!

Walked in with two dogs, no appointment, and while I took care of the big one, the lady there graciously agreed to take the small one, bath her, trim her, condition her, blow dry her, and comb her out. Best $ 35 I ever spent on that dog. Going back soon.

I am SO glad I found this place! We moved here from out of town and I was having a difficult time finding a good place to groom our large pup. Instead of paying an asinine amount to have her professional groomed someplace else, I do the majority of it myself here! I like that I can pick and choose the services I would rather do myself or hire dog-​o-​mat to do it for me.
Friendly staff, great prices, nice products = win-​win!

This place is so great. I have an 85 pound Lab and it was nice to be able to give him a bath without breaking my back! The staff was nice too! Plus they had a lot of smelly good stuff to pick from. Loved it!

We have had only postive experiences in our years of going to Dog-​o-​mat. Attendents are helpful and friendly. The space is clean, the treats are wonderful and very, very fairly priced. My dog loves it even though he doesn’t love baths!

My big mutt was dirty. So I took her here. $ 20 later, her hair was clogging up someone else’s drain, and the water she shook when she wouldn’t let me blow dry her is on someone else’s walls.
Worth every penny.

What’s not to like about the Dog-​o-​mat? Anyone who has ever attempted to give a dog a bath in the tub at home knows what torture it can be. Huntched over the tub, splashing water, no way to keep the dog in the tub, then water everywhere, the dog escapes from the towel and runs thru the house shaking doggie scented water onto furniture, walls, and cupboards. go to the Dog o Matt. Tubs are elevated, lines to secure your pooch, hoses, and nice aprons to keep you ‘drier’.
It’s a deal.

Carolyn is, well lets just say it rhymes with lazy. This is one bizarre groomer with a cadre of mangy mutts running around. Avoid this place!

I didn’t bathe my dog, but I checked the place out. It was a very nice facility. Seemed clean, lots of staff to help with everyone. Very busy, which is a good sign. I may bring my dog in and try the place. Will update review if I do.

After my dog had rolled in deer carcass (eww!), I rushed to the dog-​o-​mat. It was a Saturday afternoon, and they were close to closing time and technically not letting any more customers in, but I explained the situation and the owner graciously let me in to shampoo the stink off my dog. Not only that, but she let other clients in after me. She was very friendly and it was a great experience overall.

Good people. This is a go to place all winter if you have a dog. Shampoo, eae cleaner and a large blow dryer area are all includer in the price. They will even let you use nail clippers and brushes all included. For extra you can buy special conditioners and a spray or two of doggie perfume. There are resident dog in the place who hang out & watch the proceedings.

The A2 Dog-​O-​Mat (s) have been essential, absolutely indispensable, to our dog-​owning well-​being. If you own a dog larger than sink size, and if you’ve been trying to make do with a bathtub or outdoors, these waist-​level tubs with temp-​controlled spray nozzles are something you must switch to. No question.
Also, if you clip your own dog’s nails and your dog gets wary when she sees you with the clippers in hand, you will improve her peace of mind if you transfer the stressful association to a third party, namely the skilled people who work here. You holding your dog and keeping her distracted while somebody else does the clipping is far better than anything else, including how vet offices do it (separating you from your dog). Just my experience.
And if your dog needs clipping, the Dog-​O-​Mat keeps their electric clippers sharp. Far cheaper than a groomer, though probably not as perfect-​looking afterwards.
Hint for clipping a thick-​haired dog like a standard poodle: a bath one day, clipping the next day — the clipping gets much easier when the dust is out of the fur.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place yet. Since finding Dog-​O-​Mat 2 on Jackson, this has been my go-​to place to wash my large monsters. At our last visit, we asked the owner to attempt to clip our dogs’ nails. This is a HUGE chore. They hate it. She was very patient, and understanding. With my husband holding the she-​monster, she was able to get one dog done. The other is a lost cause but I surely appreciated the attempt. Great place. We will surely be back for baths though :)

Beth, the owner, and everyone at Dog-​o-​mat 2 are awesome. I’ve come here several times to cut my dog’s hair, and Beth and I would do our best to get the dog cut and bathed. Since the original Dog-​o-​mat closed, they have had a huge influx of new business in addition to old customers. In response to the new demand Beth has brought in a professional groomer on Sundays who is just great. I don’t remember her name, which I will try to find out and update with! She was so patient and did a wonderful job. My dog is usually very fearful and difficult to groom, but this time it was a piece of cake (almost). She takes her time, doesn’t cut corners, and she has a way with fussy dogs. I highly recommend bringing your pup here for a full-​service groom or a do-​it-​yourself bath! Prices are very reasonable as well.

A quick story about how great the people who own and run this place are:
Sometime this past winter, my girlfriend and I went in here to wash our 4-​year old Chow mix, and our very young, puppy Shepherd-​mutt. Washing two dogs is hectic, and washing a spastic puppy who’s never been washed before doesn’t add to the fun. In the midst of the chaos of fur and emotion, I set my watch aside by one of the tubs. The watch is a multifunction Casio Sport that I had bought less than a year earlier: not a Rolex, but certainly not cheap either. Long story short, by the time we were done I was just happy to get the heck out of there, and left it behind.
My girlfriend and I were friendly with the owner, Beth, but had never provided her with any contact info during any of our transactions. So when she found the watch, she had no way to let me know (although most places would hardly worry about that). Time passed, I checked my gym, my pockets, and my bags: no dice. It completely slipped my mind that the Dog-​O-​Mat could’ve been where I’d left it. It didn’t slip Beth’s.
When we returned for the dogs’ Springtime wash a couple weeks ago (albeit a few months late), Beth was ECSTATIC to be able to return the watch to me! Although most businesses would have forgotten about the neglected property with a span of days, the most impressive thing to me was not just that she did return it, but was how much it pleased her to be able to do so: to be able to help me out. Perhaps I’m dramatizing here, but this joy in service — which is sorely lacking from so many businesses these days — is a fantastic testament to Dog-​O-​Mat 2, and it bleeds through all that they do.
Washing and grooming our canine friends is a tough task: between the flying fur, the squealing, the wrestling to escape, and the scratching (& that’s just the owners), it’s enough to leave me incapacitated for a few hours afterward. Dog-​O-​Mat 2 helps you do it — or does it for you — with a SMILE. I highly recommend.
