Doggie Style

They killed my french bulldog and never refunded the nail clipping, which they clearly didn’t complete.

Your dog will do a better job of cleaning itself than this place ever will. The people that work here are nice enough depending on who is working. I’ve been here several times but will not be taking my dog back for grooming as they do not do a good job and charge a lot for a bad grooming. There is one guy who did a great job the first time I went but since the ladies who have worked with my dog did a terrible job. Hope to find a better groomer in the neighborhood.

I absolutely love this place. It isn’t inexpensive but the people who work there are so nice and helpful and they also do a great job of grooming. I bring my dog Joey here for all kinds of fun treats to spoil him. There isn’t as wide of a selection as the big brand stores but the stuff they sell is all much safer and a higher quality. I definitely trust them to make recommendations for fun safe toys, treats and supplies for Joey.

We live close to Doggie Style, so it’s our go-​to for treats and grooming. The staff is super friendly, and they always seem to recognize our pup when we drop in. We like their treats and toys. They always have super easy availability for basic grooming and you don’t even need an appointment for nail clipping.
Our pup is a little bit anxious, but he seems to warm up quickly to the staff. They usually finish his grooming within 15 minutes of the quoted time, and it seems reasonably priced ($ 65 for a bath, hair trim, nail clipping, gland relief, and ear clean). He’s always happy to see us when we pick him up, but also seems to be in a good mood.
It’s not a huge store and can’t be compared to say Petco or Petsmart in terms of selection and lower pricing, but we don’t mind finding treats and toys here so we are supporting a local business. I also love their home-​baked treats up at the front — they even have the ingredients listed so we can be sure the treats are something we don’t mind feeding him.
I’d recommend stopping by if you have a pup who needs grooming or you just want to get him a little something extra like a treat!

We took our labradoodle here for his first grooming and they did a nice job. His coat was soft, clean, and they trimmed his nails as requested. He seemed to like the experience and didn’t freak out during the experience. Will definitely go back.

High quality grooming at reasonable prices. Friendly personnel.

Went to the shop for the first time last week. Upon arriving, I was greeted but not asked to be helped. I asked the lady for help finding 3 things: treats, a rawhide, and a durable squeak toy. She suggested a couple of items and in the end, I spent $ 40 picking up homemade dog treats, a ‘durable’ squeak toy, and a rawhide. A little pricey but I was hoping they would all be hits.
My dog refuses to eat the homemade dog treats and her tummy was sick the day after trying them. The squeak toy was destroyed within five minutes and the only success I had was with the rawhide, which didn’t last very long either.
I feel like they chose a cool store name & then let quality of treats, toys, etc. go downhill. Bummer.

I love this place, they always do a great job on my dog! Mike is wonderful and very patient with my little hot mess. Been taking him there for 3 years and never had a problem.

I’ve taken my dog here twice. The first time he looked nice. The second time, I told them short and they literally shaved him down to ugly. He is also very down ever since his return. Not sure what happened there.

Disappointing. I took my 8lb dog here 2 weeks ago and specifically asked more than once that her glands be expressed. When I picked her up she looked fantastic but sure enough her «report card» said nothing about her glands so the owner said she’d ask the other groomer to check them before we left. She came back and said they were empty– so when my dog was scooting 4 days later I knew that couldn’t be true. I took her to the vet and sure enough they were overly full. Completely disappointed with the lack of transparency. For small dogs you can’t mess with the potential for anal gland rupture and this place blatantly lied about taking care of them. I would not go back because that– Not to mention grooming was $ 65. There are much better deals around the city.

I was very happy with the grooming services provided yesterday to my 10 year old shih tzu/​maltese mix dog. The customer service was stellar as well — despite my running late, they didn’t miss a beat and took my dog promptly and consulted with me for several minutes about what kind of cut my dog needed. They knew I wouldn’t be able to pick him up until after work that evening, and they assured me he would get a quick walk in the afternoon. I received a text in the afternoon that he was ready to be picked up at my convenience, and that he was very well-​behaved and looked great. And the report card I was given when I picked him up was adorable.
I regularly visit the shop to pick up a special dog food that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere, and I’m happy to continue giving my business to this establishment. After a nightmare grooming debacle at Planet Pet on 14^th St., this was such a pleasure to bring my dog somewhere with such great service and my dog was happy and looked great. Thanks Doggie Style!

I am brand new to the area and saw Doggie Style while walking my pup in on our first day in town. I stopped by initially just to check out their inventory and look around. I was greeted immediately by the staff and asked if I needed help with anything. Because I was just out for a walk, I didn’t buy anything, but planned to come back because of how helpful the ladies were. I went back tonight for dog food, treats and a few other little things, and was so impressed with the staff (who even remember my pup and me from our first visit despite not making a purchase then). I explained the need to transition my dog’s food, allergies, current issues, etc and was delighted when the lady helping me immediately had suggestions, and was very knowledgeable on the ingredients in the different foods based on my dog’s needs. We also picked out some treats and a few other little munchies. The staff noticed me looking at coats and took the time to find the right size and try one on my dog that I liked that I liked to check the fit. I also scheduled grooming while I was there because I was so impressed with the entire experience. Again, the staff had suggestions for the ultimate grooming experience based on my dog’s specific needs and skin issues. I’ll be sure to update after the first grooming, but for basic needs, you cannot go wrong with Doggie Style! I also noticed several other patrons come in while I was shopping, all of whom, and their pets, were immediately greeted by name! Now that is how you run a business! PS. I started the food transition tonight and my picky eater ate around all of her old food to eat the new stuff I bought at Doggie Style! Great recommendations all around!

We love Mike at Doggie Style! He is great with our westie and we really feel that our pup is in safe, loving hands when we take him for his grooming appointments. The store has a great bakery for dogs so we always get birthday and holiday treats here. Great store and lots of food and toy selection.

I took my black lab in for grooming and deshedding… he is covered in scabs down his back and haunches. I went in and asked to see what grooming aid they used on him. They showed me a small fulminator and a small wire brush. Neither of these could have done the cuts and digs in my dogs back as they are not long enough to have reached his skin. They were rude, basically asked when I had noticed them. I told them starting Wednesday morning as my dog had been in Potomac Animal Hospital seriously ill on iv’s for 2 days. Whether or not they caused his fever, the fact that he was groomed in a very harsh way is clear. I would not recommend this groomer to anyone. They did not ask to even see the dog who was in the car so they could see what they had done. IWhile I was there they were grooming another dog The groomer kept yelling at the aid to hold the dogs mouth. The dog was crying and Unilocaling. I am floored that this place is even open.

I’ve actually never been to the store but I ordered a birthday cake for my dog and had my wife pick it up.
The cake was under $ 20 and a perfect treat for my 15 year old beast. My dog is a small 40 pound terrier but I would say this 5 inch cake could serve 2 – 3 small size dogs.
It was a peanut butter base sponge cake with a «chocolate» coating. My dog really liked it! Ordering over the phone was easy and the staff was really nice. I’ll be back!

When we arrived at 3:00 for our small dog’s grooming Apt at Doggie Style the woman behind the counter warmly greeted us and the groomer rushed out to meet our dog. We left feeling confident that this place which had gotten such great reviews would certainly be able to give our pup the trim and wash she desperately needed, all for guaranteed price of «$ 35 – 45.»
As 5:40 approached I called and asked if everything was okay, as I knew they closed at 6:00 and I hadn’t heard from them. The woman assured me things were great and that she was just being dried, but oh yes I should come and get her. When we arrived the woman was on the phone and simultaneously held our dog behind the counter and asked if she was ours, despite our excited dog’s desperate attempts to greet us. Apparently on hold, she advised us she had to go back and dry our dog herself since she knew our dog ‘didn’t like men.’ What? We never told her that… The kid behind the counter clarified that that was another dog. Oh okay, $ 45 then for her, she was very good, she said before clarifying, «no wait! $ 40.» And with that we left. Our dog was still a bit matted, and her nails were kind of ragged, but she smelled nice and we were ready to leave.

Great store! They have a nice selection of treats and bones. They carry Gooby harnesses that my dog wears. We don’t get the homemade treats and have never tried the grooming services. Two ladies who work there have been there forever and they’re super nice and helpful.

I’ve been taking my Yorkie there for the last few years, and I usually don’t take him often enough, so it requires skill and patience to get him all cleaned up. They always do a great job, and I find their prices reasonable for the quality of the work. And we’re going back this week for another spa session.

I took my new dog here to get groomed. I was a little unfamiliar with the whole grooming situation because I grew up with a beagle who never needed grooming services, but now I have a Yorkie/​Maltese mix who needed a shave down.
I showed up for my 12 noon appointment at 11:50, and they said they weren’t open yet and Michael wasn’t in yet, so to just walk my dog for a bit. I thought that was kind of odd — you’d think they’d at least let me wait in the store (and possibly buy some treats while I was there!). I came back at 12:05 and Michael was there — he was as sweet as pie and Connor, the dog, seemed ok with him. They said Connor would be ready at 4:30 — I thought this was an incredibly long wait, but again, I was unfamiliar and went with it. I saw lots of other dogs come in right after me, so one thing that concerns me is that there might be a lot of dogs sitting in the grooming area in cages. I wish I knew exactly how the whole process works. Luckily there is so much to do in Logan Circle/​Adams Morgan that I just shopped until he was done.
The haircut was really nice — Michael paid attention to what I wanted for Connor. Connor does seem to be super sleepy, which is unusual for him and makes me worried that the whole experience spooked him, but I’m sure that’s not Michael’s fault. The groom was only $ 65.
I’m lowering the stars because I wouldn’t really shop here for doggy supplies. The brands they have are limited — and while they do have natural foods, it’s relatively limited, and I only saw really big bags of food and not a huge variety of wet food. They also don’t carry my brand (Blue Buffalo), so that was a little disappointing. They also have just a limited amount of items for the dog — like a review said earlier, it’s more like a convenience store. I’ll go back again for grooming, but not for anything for Connor. I think I’ll stick to
for food and treats.

My fiancé and I frequent Doggie Style for treats, toys, baths and nail clippings for our pup. The staff is always extremely friendly, and helpful if you have questions on anything. We tried to switch over our dogs food, and the woman (I can’t remember her name but she’s there almost every time I stop in) was so helpful. I even came 5 minutes before the store closed and she was still very patient and informative.
I love this store. I wish it had a bigger selection of food so we didn’t have to trek up to Petsmart to get his dog food, but it’s super convenient, and not too expensive (relatively speaking).
Our dog comes for baths and they give him a review when he leaves. It gives information about what things they did (nail clipping, ear cleaning, etc.) and it’s nice to know if he was good for them. The last time he had a bath he was super lethargic for about 24 – 36 hours afterwards so I’m not sure if he was worn out from being so amped up or if he had some sort of medication to make him calm?
All in all, I am happy they are in the neighborhood!
FYI: get the frozen bones by the cooler near the door. Our pup absolutely loves them, and they take him a couple of hours to eat.

I made an appointment with Doggie Style for the first time because of the rave reviews.
I had an appointment at 8:30A today. We all have jobs, so you can imagine what an inconvenience it is to bring your dog in that early (on a MONDAY) when most people have to be at the office at 9AM.
I arrived at 8:30A and rang the door bell. No one answered. (It says to wait a minute). I called. No one answered. I called and left a message expressing how disappointed and unprofessional this all was.
At 9:15A, the person from Doggie Style not only had the temerity to tell me that she was late due to traffic (on RI Ave) and didn’t call, but also HUNG UP ON ME as I expressed to her how disappointed I was about the lack of consideration of other people’s time.
You can find better service at Petsmart.

Look at how sharp Nigel looks with his haircut! I was so scared of not being able to find a decent spot in The District to get my dogs groomed for a reasonable price since leaving NYC but I was immediately put at ease when I found Doggie Style. First off, they are open on Sundays! They accept credit cards and at about $ 70 a pop, they are in the range of what I paid back in NYC for a full grooming for my Yorkshire Terriers.
Nigel and Spencer are used to getting groomed and enjoy a nice bath and brush. They don’t wiggle and squirm either when they get their hair cut around their eyes and mouth. How do I know this since I have never actually cut their hair myself? Doggie Style presents you with a report card for your pet on on how they did during their grooming session! It also lays out what services that did for your dog’s grooming too! I like that extra touch. Really nice groomer too, I believe his name was Mike. He was gentle and caring with the boys and they smelled so nice. Now they are ready to get with the ladies in the dog park and it’s all because of Doggie Style. This will be their regular spot to get whipped up for sure.
I haven’t bought my dog food there because they don’t sell anything but specialty food here and my boys eat Nutro Max so I have to head to Petco for that. I did notice they had a nice selection of doggie clothes and coats though and Nigel is due for a new coat so I’ll probably get that there too. Recommended!

Way overdue for an update! I bring Ti to doggie style every couple weeks for either a bath or a full groom and every time Mike does an AMAZING job. The prices are always fair ($ 25 for a bath, $ 65 for a full groom) and the service is always sooooooo friendly. They also have great products (I’ve tasted the homebaked dog treats and they were GOOD!) Love Krista, Tara, Mike, etc. They are terrific folks. It is a pleasure to bring Tiger here and I am lucky to have this true gem of a shop in my neighborhood!
