Poodle Nook

I trust these groomers 100% with my dog! He is especially difficult — hates being groomed or his paws and ears touched. They do a wonderful job and he doesn’t seem remotely shaken afterward (have had some bad experiences at other places). I even used to make appointments for him while I was visiting when I lived in southern California. Prices are very reasonable.

I understand that dogs are not the easiest to groom but these people claim to be experts and they did not reach any of their standards. I have a chihuahua-​pomeranian that has long fluffy hair. Their cuts were uneven and did not listen to my instructions. I ended up with badly shaped bald dog. I appreciate their hard work but I wouldn’t come back to this place.

I took my 9 year old poodle there and they shaved every bit of her including her ears. She looks ridiculous. In 9 years she has never been shaven like this.

Poodle Nook has taken care of my mini-​schnoodle, Pip for a few years. I am always pleased with Pip’s haircuts, and she always feels more confident when returning from Poodle Nook. The groomers are friendly and always take the time to make sure they communicate what style you are hoping for in terms of the grooming. In addition, there was one time my car was being serviced, and when I mentioned I’d be there within the hour as I had would be jogging/​walking, Janice offered to come by and pick Pip up, as I was nearby. To me, that showed her dedication to the business and her customer service top-​notch. They often take same day appointments, which is another highlight for those with already busy schedules. I would highly recommend Poodle Nook for your pampered pooches, knowing their rates are competitive, and you get the best service.

I had a a bad experience at Petco where they cut my dog not once but twice (as in a cut to her skin). i was absolutely livid, especially when they told me it was my own dogs fault. I was extremely mad at myself for bringing my dog back there after they nicked her the first time, figuring it was a fluke. So they kind of traumatized the grooming experience for me and my toy poodle mix.
By some stroke of luck the next place we found was the Poodle Nook and we have been with them ever since, probably 5+ years now. Janice and Rachel have put all my fears at ease, i know when my little Mimi goes there she is treated with the utmost care. Her somewhat high maintenance coat is always cut beautifully, and when i pick her up it is soft and conditioned. She looks and smells like a million bucks!
I dont leave too many Unilocal reviews, but i feel this one is long overdue, as I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a groomer. I am ashamed i ever went to the big box store, supporting our local small business is the right thing to do, and your pup will be thankful you did too!

We took both our dogs in for hair cuts, tootsie trimming and anal gland expressing. They were great with both of our critters. Fylo, our little boy dog, got really loud and whiny when they removed Phoebe from the cage they were sharing because it was time for Phoebes bath. They could not here anyone on the phone so they had to put him in another room away from the phone. He is a big crier… but they understood and did a very nice job on both of them.

We have been bringing our dogs here for years: from double coated ankle biters to a pit bull mix. Always a good job on cuts and nails. They also extract anal glands for small breeds which is vital.
There is a grassy knoll nearby so fluffy can relieve himself before his spa day!

My little guy has been coming to see Janice for about 5 years. He is always happy to see Janice, he walks right into the salon (doesn’t park himself in the parking lot refusing to go in) and takes his place in a condo that Janice let’s him pick out himself. Janice and Rachel are both softies and treat all the puppy dogs like they are their own. I highly recommend both Janice and Rachel

I brought my terriers to the Poodle Nook last spring. Rachel gave them a summer cut and they looked so cute! They were also happy when I picked them up. This tells me that they were handled with care and treated gently. I highly recommend this organization. They are professional, sincere, personal, and somewhat competitive on their pricing. I just made my next appointment!

I have been bringing my dogs to Janice and Rachel for over 20 years. When I first met them when they were on Fulton, they were the only groomers willing to take a Chow. They have been my groomers ever since. I fully trust them to take great care of my dogs and I love the fact that they rescue dogs — as a matter of fact, one of my 3 dogs now is one I rescued through them and I adore her. I would recommend them to anyone.

I had an amazing groomer that owned her own shop for many years and then retired. Quite frankly, she was so amazing that I’ve struggled to find a decent groomer since. After trying about 4 or 5 groomers (some I have already reviewed on Unilocal), I have finally settled on the Poodle Nook.
Poodle Nook is the best place I’ve found and my poodle finally looks like a poodle again! So happy to find a shop that knows how to properly groom a dog. My pup got the lamb cut and it was done correctly. I am also please that when I asked about having my dog cut this summer with a cut they aren’t familiar with (bikini cut) they were open to figuring it out. Yeah! Actual customer service. I will be back.

We have always taken my Aunt’s two big pups out to see Janice and Rachel. They are awesome and serious about what they do. The pups are so excited to see them and are very proud of themselves when they are all done and looking handsome!

They are OK…
The Teddy Bear means shave your dog.
Their staff are kind and friendly.
