Dooley’s Pet Grooming

I took my Shih Tzu here for grooming and was very happy with the outcome. I could not believe how handsome my Shih Tzu looked when I went to pick him up. I think he knew he looked good too.
It was obvious that the owner loves animals and treat them with love and patience. I am so glad I found a grooming business I can trust so I will definitely go back again without any hesitation.

Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Our shih-​tzu has had a hard time with previous groomers in the area as a pup and we’ve never had one willing to work with him without him being overly drugged. She didn’t even suggest medicating him like the other groomers I called. Our dog did bite her but she was still very sweet and got the job done! She wasn’t able to groom a small patch under our dog’s chin because he was tired and aggressive … Others would’ve charged me extra, she deducted $ 5 from my bill.

We have gone to the bigger places around, Petsmart and Petco but they seemed to always cut the quick when trimming nails, nick my dog with a razor or just not do a good job with the haircut. With that said we decided to give the pet groomer a try, I called and got in the same day and like others have said there is a bit of a language barrier but not horrible and after she was done with my dog we were very pleased by far the best job we have had in the two years we have been getting our dog groomed in this area! Will definitely be back.

Like others I was a bit concerned if she knew what I was asking for. The language barrier is for real. She did a FANTASTIC job with my three dogs though! Two Aussies and one Pom. Their fur is a touch shorter than I expected but they are all very clean and orderly. Paws, ears, eyes, the tail feathers. All very well done. My red Merle is a shy boy but he wasn’t nervous or scared at all. I can tell she is a hard worker and a professional. I would take my dogs here again as their permanent groomer. I ad taken them to petsmart before and they did a good job– they were booked however and that’s how I found Dooley’s. I’m giving her five stars because I felt she did a wonderful job and my dogs were well cared for. My only suggestion is to hire someone who speaks English well and help her have a more organized scheduling system.

Got wind today of someone witnessing a dog repeatedly being struck for not cooperating during a groom. Why would a business that advertises ‘caring’ employ a person who is violent with the clients’ pets AND gets paid for doing it? Do they background check these people or even call references? These animals can’t speak for themselves, the groomers need to be monitored at all times maybe install cameras so clients can check on their pets well-​being?

I brought my 9 month Coton du Tulear to this groomer today, for the first time. Directly across from this shop is a nail salon. Coincidentally, an acquaintance posted on Facebook that while getting her nails done this morning, she observed the groomer smack a small fuzzy dog on the rump HARD three times because he was resisting and skittish. She was very upset by what she saw. After seeing a photo of my puppy she confirmed that it was indeed MY dog that was abused. I will be reporting this incident to the appropriate places once I know what they are. In the meantime, I wanted to start with Unilocal in the hopes that I can prevent another puppy from experiencing what my little guy did today.

I had an advanced appt to have my 2 Shi Tu’s groomed at 10:00. I had purchased the yearly card that the owner was pushing the last time I was there. One would save about $ 65.00 a year with no stipulations except to call in advance for an appt. The owner who is very poor in English greeted me saying that I was 1 hour early. I had my appt book with me so double checked the time and it was very clearly written 10:00. I told her however that that was fine and asked if I could leave the dogs now so I did not have to go and come back in an hour. The owner seemed very stressed. She did not answer my question but instead started babbling on on how she would need to charge me $ 65.00 for each dog today. I was so confudsed as I had prepaid and expected to use my card. The regular price which is clearlylisetd at the counter would be $ 44.00 a dog so how she came up with $ 65.00 per dog is beyond me! She continued to complain that the yearly card users were costing her money losses. She then stated that the card was only good for grooming on Mondats and Fridays and that you had to be low income or a senior citizen! All news to me… I looked at my cards and also read her sign advertising the card program and no where in the literature does it say this. She never told me such rules when I handed over $ 420.00 the day I purchased the cards! SOOO., Nomatter how good a groomer she may be her business ethics are nil. I will never go back and forwarn anyone considering to go to her to be prepared for an experience! I found another groomer immediately and will try thgem in 2 weeks

We had an odd experience here. The owner seems like a professional but we had a lot of trouble communicating what we expected for our Newfoundland due to a language barrier. The grooming came out fine, not exactly what we were looking for, but he was clean and neat. She gave him some food without asking us that upset his stomach. Also she charged me twice because we had a mix up when I went to pay. It was our first time dealing with a groomer, so maybe we didn’t understand how it was supposed to work. Oh well. We probably won’t be back.

We took our 2 ½ year old Bichon Frise for a grooming two weeks ago and decided to try this place. We just moved here from AK where we got him groomed with a bichon style cut for over 2 years.
I was shocked when we picked up our puppy! The cut was poorly done! It definitely was not a Bichon style cut and I can’t even say it was a poodle cut. If it was a poodle cut, it was a very poor imitation.
I think the woman at this place is used to rushing her work, therefore, instead of taking the time to brush out tangles, she decided to cut our dog down to almost nothing. Usually with a Bichon because of the cottony type hair, they will need to be brushed out very good before and after a bath. Once they are wet and are rubbed, their hair can tangle. She obviously didn’t know this. His hair around his neck was cut to an eight of an inch right up to the middle of his head, making him look very odd.
I asked for a sanitation cut around his bottom area but she cut his tail almost halfway down! I was very disappointed in this service. I will definitely not be using them again! I have a Bichon not a weird looking poodle!

Very dissatisfied with this business. My first attempt at an appointment I felt that there was a lack of professionalism and confusion on behalf of the owner. I took off from work to get my dog over for a grooming and the store was closed. The business hours stated the place should have been open hours ago, so I waited… And waited… But she never showed up. Other customers waited patiently as we’ll for their appointments, but it ended up being a big waste of time. I won’t be giving this place a second chance.

Little pricey in my opinion but they do a great job. Much better than any other place I’ve taken my dog.

I tried a book for my dog few times and left messages on the phone BUT no one call me back I dont even know if they are open still

I have been taking my dog here for a little over a year now and they are always great! My dog always come out with the perfect hair cut and the people are always very nice!

The Owner of the place always do a really great job on my puppy. When she finish giving him a haircut, my puppy always have the eye lashes going on. Some groomers don’t take that time to make my puppy look so cute. They have cute pet clothes there for great prices to

Got me in the same day with two dogs! Simple cut, nails two and a half hours. Good service

Decided to give them a shot because we received a coupon in our Valpack, Beyond impressed! $ 35 for a full groom. Our dog looks great and smells even better. The inside is very clean. The ladies who worked there were so nice! They have a cute selection of dog clothes too. All sizes were the same price, around $ 13. Much better than Petsmart. I would definitely recommend them! We will be taking our dog back there for future grooming!
