Doggone It

It is always such a pleasure to bring my dog to be groomed here. They are professional, and clearly very kind and patient.

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of people celebrating Doggone It. Our dog went to another Newton groomer, who dismissed her as «too difficult» because she sits down to try to avoid being groomed. A neighbor suggested Doggone It and they have been wonderful with her! They greet her with a real warmth and they do a lovely job: neat, clean haircut, nail trimming etc. The staff clearly understand dogs and love them. Doggone it isn’t the cheapest place in town but in my opinion, they are well worth it. Thank you!

Love this place! The women working there when I went in were SO friendly. My dog accidentally stole a rawhide bone on the way out and they told me to go ahead and keep it. My dog came out smelling AMAZING. He also had an anal gland expression, which alleviated all the discomfort he had prior to Doggone It’s care. I’ll definitely be back here!

Nice grooming salon: very personal service, reasonable prices, and minimum stress for the dog. Our labradoodle puppy came out a beauty!

Thank you Jill! Ziggy has never looked so good and he was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up!
Ziggy is my 3 year old English Goldendoodle. He is an easy going happy guy. His former groomer moved and the guy that replaced her was a disaster. His groom was so horrible that it took 12 weeks to grow out his coat enough so that a new groomer could work with it.
Friends recommended I call Jill at Doggone It in Newton. Jill was nothing short of amazing with Ziggy. She was very knowledgeable about the breed’s grooming needs. She was kind and caring and appreciated the business. Her shop is lovely, it is so inviting, very clean and nicely decorated along with some pet supplies in front. There are large glass windows open to the grooming area so you can see everything going on. Some dogs were enjoying hanging out with other dogs. There are also crates for dogs that prefer to be on their own.
A friend of mine went into the shop when Ziggy was getting groomed. She told me when she saw him, he was sitting in front of a drying fan, smiling, with 3 other dogs hanging with him. She said it was funny to see my goofball enjoying all the pampering.
The groom was fantastic. Ziggy looked amazing! … from the top of his head to the bottom of his paws. every detail was impeccable. Jill is truly an artist. Just as important, it was obvious to me that Ziggy had been well cared for with Jill. We received so many compliments on Ziggy’s groom from friends and family!
The staff was warm and friendly. It’s a very professionally run business. Much care and respect are given to the human and pet. I’m happy to say we have found our new groomer and look forward to coming to Jill and her team at Doggone It for a long time to come.

Relocated and in search for a new groomer for my two beloved poms. Did some research on Unilocal have driven by the place so I decided to give it a try. I looked up their website and they do nail trims on a walk in basis. I thought this was a great way to check the place out and test without a full groom. I called in advance to make sure. My pets also needed some ear cleaning so I asked if this could be done as well. The lady said no problem which was great. They were very nice when we got there and they took care of my poms in a quickness without an appointment. They have a good selection of buddy biscuits which are my dogs favorite. And not overpriced. So for a quick nail trim on a walk in its a great place.

Love Jill, the owner. She does a terrific job and tries hard to manage her groomers, who may not always be the friendliest of sorts. They still get the job done sufficiently and will listen to any special needs or requests your dog may have. And yes, they’ll even do anal glands without complaining! This alone is worth the price of the groom if you’ve ever had to handle this messy, stinky, disgusting problem yourself.
No dog loves going to the groomer. Dirty dog comes out shiny and clean, and that’s enough for me. You’re not bringing him there for day care!

This was our first visit. Although the results of the grooming was good I would not go back. The woman who greeted us was so unfriendly when we arrived. The young man that retrieved my dog when I returned was equally cold. If they treat me like that I shudder to think about how my dog was treated.

I have been using Jill, in Newton for years for my Golden summer haircuts and grooming.
This year my older golden got an auto-​immune skin infection,(non contagious to other animals) and, at the recommendation of our vet, and Tufts Veterinary Dermotologist, he needed a series of medicinal baths and to be shaved. jill has been a huge help to Louie and to us. He is improving because of her care and treatments, as well as her concern for his well being. I cannot thank her enough for her help through this time. She also did a fabulous first grooming on our puppy George.

If you are lucky enough to know Jill and Rhonda, your pet is blessed.

I have a 9 yr. old yellow lab and have been taking her to Doggone-​It since she was a puppy. The staff is very nice and really seem to care about the dogs that they groom. My dog is not a fan of being groomed– she often barks and can be sort of a pain. They are still so kind to both of us and accommodate me whenever I need to go. I also call last minute all the time and they take me almost every time.
This year Jill, the owner, recommended that I do the de-​shedding process because I was complaining about all of the hair coming off of my dog and making a mess of my house. It worked GREAT! I highly recommend it. I took my dog every other week for 4 weeks and I barely had any dog hair in my house at all.
All in all… service is great, accommodating, and very friendly!

I love Doggone It! I take my little mini poodle there on a regular basis and she always comes home looking beautiful! When she is there I know that they are taking good care of her and I don’t need to worry about anything!

I have two smaller dogs:
Cocker /​King Charles Mix & Shitzu/​Maltese Mix —
Brought them here bc my old groomer was not trimming the cockers ears well —
anyhow they do a great job on both dogs! … well priced and nice …
Only real downfall is that they keep many dogs out of the crates and I’ve asked for mine to stay out — and each time i’ve gone into get them — they are in a crate … but not the end of the world

My little toy dog has been getting groomed at Doggone It for years now. I’ve always been happy with the job they do. They really care about the pups. It’s nice that the entire grooming area is visible through big windows. And he always comes back with an adorable bandana tied round his neck.
