Best Pet groomers in United States

Came to DC with my boy for a short time. City dog answered my call immediately and was able to get him in. The report card at the end of the day was amazing because I knew he had a good day and was made aware if there was any issues. Would highly recommend!

I will say GiGi is very personable when it comes to dealing with your pups. I can honestly say the staff is amazing and go the extra mile to be sure your pups and you are happy. What stood out the most to me was that GiGi called me to know specifically what cut did I want and what could be done realistically. That there to me is worth more than money. Thank you for making my pups happy and me feel happy about the results.

I can't say enough good things about CityPets!!! My dog had a VERY bad experience with another groomer as a puppy and since, it has been a nightmare any time he needs to be groomed because the poor guy is just so scared. Every single member of the CityPets staff has been kind and patient with us. While Zeus still isn't happy about being groomed, it's a much better (and safer) experience now that we go to CityPets. Special shout out to groomers Taylor and John who have been amazing to work with. Taylor has given me actionable steps to work on with my dog at home to make the process easier and most importantly safe for Zeus. Bottom line, if you're looking for expert and kind care/grooming for your "furbaby", this is the place to go!

We have been going to see GG at City Dogs for about 2 years now and I am so beyond thankful we FINALLY found such an INCREDIBLE groomer!!

GG is not only extremely knowledgeable and talented, but she is deeply deeply deeply kind. She truly loves every pup that comes to see her (even the one like mine who used to try and bite her!).

One of our pups is VERY anxious (to the point of biting groomers .. eek!) as a result of some truly terrible grooming experiences in the past, and GG is a literal miracle-worker with him. She let me stay in the room when she groomed him the first few times. Right off the bat, that showed me how truly talented of a groomer GG is - she knew that she was heading into a tricky groom, and instead of shutting me (the parent) out of the room in case it didn’t go well, she encouraged me to stay. Now, I can drop him off and know that he will be loved with abundance! And that he will come home looking amazing!

Our other pup is extremely chill and loves to go see GG! He knows that he will get soooo many kisses and cuddles and, when he’s done, to sleep on some cozy towels in the linen closet that he loves so much 😂 (to be clear, he is not forced or shut in there - he discovered it as his favorite spot to be cozy and now he just naps there after his groom).

I have many favorite things about GG, and one of them is that she will never push a dog past their limit. For me, it is extremely important that my pups have the least stressful time possible while they are getting groomed. And if that means that their groom isn’t 100% to GG’s very high grooming standards? That is hands down what I would prefer, every time. And, because of this, it means that my anxious dog no longer dreads getting groomed. All thanks to GG’s doggy magic!

To be extremely clear, she does an AMAZING job grooming both pups every time! They always coming out looking chic with their tails wagging (and a cute new bandana or bow tie)!

I confidently recommend GG to all of my friends in the DC area, especially if they have a nervous pup and have had trouble finding patient and endlessly loving groomers. Go see GG, and I promise you will find your fur-ever groomer 💕

Took my dog here for about 2 years since they are in my neighborhood. Everytime I took my dog in we always saw a different vet, and some have been very inexperienced. On my most recent visit, I was up charged for a bunch of tests for my dog with inclusive results and a misdiagnosis. I was able to more accurately diagnose him using Google. But trusting the vet I took home their medicine they recommended and trusted them. My dogs infection got out of control over the next couple days and I had to take him to OSU ER. The doctor there said my dog never should've been prescribed the medicine 614 city pets prescribed, and said that it shouldn't of even been prescribed to treat the "diagnosis" they gave him. A year earlier from a previous visit my dog suffered complications post surgery because his stitching was not done properly. There´s been multiple occurrences where I had to ask for blood work or test results multiple times. The Staff and doctors are all really nice and they do really care, but for the prices they charge and the quality of service and expertise, I feel there are better options in Columbus.

My dog (and I) had a very unfortunate experience at City Dogs, when my dog went in for a deluxe groom. I had never been here before but wanted to give them a try because my other groomer is so far away in Potomac. Around 5 hours after I dropped him off, and they estimated it would take 4, someone called to inform me that my dog had been cut in the face and was bleeding a lot, his groom was finished and I could get him whenever. I rushed over to pick him up, and his nose was still bleeding when I arrived. I quickly and without thinking paid when they asked me to because I was in such shock from the size of the cut/stab, and we left. When I got home, I realized the haircut hadn’t been finished and my dog’s nails had not been trimmed. I called back asking for at least a partial refund because that wasn’t exactly fair, and they only refunded $20 after speaking to a manager. Meaning I still paid $100.

The more I think about it, and the worse my dogs nose looks as it heals - an entire chunk of his nose is missing, the more I regret paying anything, and the more angry I am.

I know that mistakes happen, but my dog is 4 years old and no groomer or myself have ever cut him, anywhere on his body, let alone stabbed him in the nose like this. I don’t even understand how this could have happened. And this has altered his nose forever. The vet said it will scar/never heal back to normal.

I would not go back, and I would not recommend.

We love GG at City Dogs 18th St NW for grooming! She was recommended to me by our awesome trainer and she even came to my house initially to meet my pup. Within seconds of meeting GG, I could tell why our trainer loved her so much — she is incredibly kind, earnest, and direct and her love for dogs is so clearly evident. All of that was even before she groomed my dog!

We’ve been going to GG at City Dogs for several months now and I could not be happier. We tried a number of different groomers in his first year before finding GG - some were fine, some were awful, but *none* compare to our GG.

If you know what you want in a groom, GG listens and respects it. If you don’t (like me!), she is happy to help and advise based on her many years of experience and training. I love that she knows more about how my 20-month old Portuguese Water Dog should be cut than me! For instance, I had never considered keeping his eyelashes longer but it has made a huge difference! He can see through his fluff for so much longer between grooms this way. She also gives me tips on keeping him brushed and fresh between visits with her.

GG has such a kind demeanor and my dog honestly loves her. She is patient with him when he gets anxious, gives him breaks when he needs them, and always keeps me in the loop throughout the day.

My favorite GG quote, re: my dog (obviously) being spoiled — “I always say, if you can’t spoil them, you shouldn’t have them.”

I could keep going but this is already too long.

TL;DR: GG is amazing all around and I am so thankful to have found her. If you love your pup and are looking for a new groomer, don’t hesitate to book with GG!

SUCH A NICE GUY. My dog had a random growth on his neck he is 1yrs old we made a appointment sunday and was able to see him monday. Doctor gave him medicine and day one of using it the growth turned FLAT. In the next few days of using it was just a tiny speck on his neck and it was very affordable going to him for the first time. IF U HAVE THE CHANCE TO TRY THIS VET OUT DO IT

City dogs has been our go-to dog boarding and day care facility for over a year now and we love it! The staff is always kind and our dog loves it there - he always seems like he doesn’t want to leave! They’re always very accommodating too, multiple times I have called last minute to extend his stay and they always work with us and are flexible. Highly recommend!

Our dog absolutely loves day care at city dogs. We love seeing his report cards. We can tell everyone there knows him and cares for him. We’ve also used overnight boarding services and boarded him for a long weekend. He always seems like he had a blast.

She's Great makes you and your pet feel very comfortable.knows what she's talking about? Been going there for over twenty years always answered all questions in my opinion she's one of the best. Dr Timmons and Dr Moron, Lee is awesome

Finally found a great veterinarian that genuinely cares and doesn't make you feel like you're just another customer. Dr Moran and staff make you feel at home. They listen, they are kind and personable, they provide solutions that work, and are affordable.

Amazing!! With my first visit, I feel like they have taken the best care of my two babies (Maggie and Rocket). I am so impressed, and a special shoutout to Tabitha & Dr. Hodge — thank you for taking care of my pets as if they were your own!!

The vet is very thorough and caring with all of our animals. The staff are very professional, sweet, and helpful. Our Oliver LOVES all of the staff there.

I spoke with Fran the manager and she was very reluctant to even consider grooming my 12 yr old lab because she didn’t think she could stand on a table long enough to be shaved. Uriah has groomed her before and did a great job. I am moving groomers since this company doesn’t want to even put forth ANY effort to even see if they could from my dog and YES my elderly dog CAN stand long enough to get groomed! I don’t recommend this company because obviously they don’t want my business and I tip very well.

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at CityPets614. We’ve been coming here for almost a year and we consistently receive excellent care, and every person working there is kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and eager to help. But our visit today was particularly special. We just went in for routine vaccinations for my poodle, but the staff were so incredibly invested in my dog’s overall health and wellbeing that we ended up receiving comprehensive training advice and guidance for how we can make vet visits, grooming, and day to day training more comfortable and less scary for my dogs who struggle with anxiety. Taylor, in particular, blew me away with her knowledge of dog behavior, health, and grooming, as well as her thoughtfulness, and patience and compassion towards me and my dog. She took extra time (like, 30+ minutes!) to sit with my dog for as long as she needed to be comfortable and allow petting. She celebrated my dog, loved on her, and took the time to get to know her and offer all the support and help we needed for future appointments and grooming. Taylor was also incredibly resourceful and then connected me to her colleague at CityPets, Kaysea, who is absolutely an expert trainer, to support us with our training needs when I mentioned what we are working on. Kaysea then listened to me and offered incredibly insightful training advice on how to make progress with my dog. We made a plan to do “happy visits” so my dogs can drop by and get comfortable with the vet, as well as long term training plans to work on my dog’s anxiety. If anyone out there has a dog who is less than excited to be at the vet, make sure you go to Citypets. Ask for Taylor and Kaysea. By the end of our appointment, my dog was relaxed, sleeping, and playing with her toy in the exam room. Absolutely amazing. It feels so good to receive excellent care from thoughtful professionals, and Taylor and Kaysea and the front desk staff went above and beyond today with me to meet all my needs. My dog and I are so grateful. 14/10 ⭐️

Took my 7-year-old Bo-chi here for suspected bloat and was seen within minutes. Examining doctor was thorough and to the point.

Very clean, professional and respectful staff, pricing is not bad either. Very affordable for most folk, I'd say.

Location is easy to miss going down Parsons so keep an eye out!

Definitely recommend this vet for dogs.

I started coming to this clinic about a year ago. Each visit is always so welcoming. They give my dog love and never once did I feel judged. My dogs teeth were horrible and I found it difficult to allow a procedure be done where I knew extractions were needed. They did stress the importance of it but I always felt distressed with scheduling the appointment, especially since I was and still am struggling financially. But never did I feel judged or pressured. Finally I knew it was time and everything got done as perfectly as possible. They prepared my dog Canelo before during and after the procedure. They call to check on Canelo after all visits and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for them. I 1000% recommend this clinic and find every expense worth it. Not to mention they aren’t insanely pricy like most clinics. The only pricy fee I would say is the office visit fee which to me is pretty high and just rose from 85-110$. But follow ups are free as long as they’re within 2 weeks after first visit!

A vet you can trust!

We take Loki here and though it’s not always pleasant for him, they truly love animals here and what they do!

Each time we go in, we’re treated with care and we’re never left with questions. And if we have them they answer them kindly and patiently. Thank you for taking care of our boy! 🥹♥️

We love CityPets! Our dog Lumpy goes crazy for it every time. Whether she is getting pretty by John, which is phenomenal, or just hanging out for her shots, she’s so happy!
They treat her like a superstar, giving her lots of pets, treats, and attention.
(sometimes we think she’d rather stay there than come home!)
If you want a place that treats your pet like family, CityPets is the place. We highly recommend it!

Unfortunately for the vet, the sick cat, the friend and for me, I had to cancel the appointment after feeling stressed from a passive aggressive phone lady receptionist. She is super aggressive, super cold, super rude. I called back to cancel with a no carrier excuse due to the bad energies and a nice gentleman helped out and made me change my mind by offering to pick up a carrier, how nice of him, very polite and professional young man. Once I arrived this horrendous miserable unhappy woman that never gets laid scared me and I canceled the appointment once and for all because of the fear of leaving my cat near this woman, who knows if she would abuse it?

I just want to share my last experience in this place this morning . My dog has to be vaccinated this week and I got into de clinic just to know the time they close and for my surprise I was totally ignored by the rude receptionist that noticed that I had come in but not even a good morning or something like that . I was stood for a few minutes in front of her and I just asked a quick question that was: excuse me what time do you guys close ? And she answered me with the head down Ignoring me totally. And I just asked if I need to have appointment for vaccination or not. She was super rude and answered that I have to wait because there was more client there. It is simple, I just expected a yes or no question, but unfortunately, the lady was not willing to help. Maybe she is the owner and it explains why this place is always empty. The last time I took my dog I observed the way she treated the lady who asked a simple question as well. We pay for the expensive service, it's not free. We deserve to have a humanitarian service specially in the front . Anyway . I don't feel comfortable with this kind of service because I am accustomed to dealing with polite people.

I will trust holistic vets most from here on out! This place gave me hope for my cat after 5 days of trauma at the ER and other vets. Dr Gapas and her son are amazing. Bringing her here was the turning point for my cat. She felt better. She needed to eat, the ER never addressed that. Dr. Gapas fed her and showed me how to make special food to give her through a syringe. Amazing place, thank you for offering us some relief!

The receptionist was really rude. She explained the flea med to me and said several times like I said with an attitude. I called to complain about her and the manager didn't have any concern just kept saying they have new flea meds available I told her no thank you I won't be back. However, the grooming people there are good that's the only time I will come.

Long over due!
My frenchie has had a few leg injuries and with his prior Veterinarian he was being treated for a back leg limp. Worried that it could turn into IVDD real fast he was put on medication for the inflammation as well as something to “calm” him down. Unfortunately that prescription wasn’t for him and when contacting the vet they did very little to address my concern. After a couple of day he wasn’t himself and wasn’t walking and would urinate on himself. Deeply concerned a close friend recommended Animal Clinic in Astoria, wanting a second opinion I called on a Saturday morning and expressed my concern and they said they would love to see him that very same day. Every single person inside the office showed so much love to my Bleu and were truly invested in figuring out what was going on with him. After multiple test Dr.Gapas sat down with me and explained what could be happening with him and set up a plan to get him back to his happy self. The following day they called just to check up on him and that meant a lot to me. I also had another meeting with them that following Monday to discuss his x-rays with another Dr there which also took her time to discuss the results and to see him walk around. My dog is better than ever and was back to normal after a couple days. I’m so glad I got a second opinion because they truly treat our pets like family. Thank you to everyone single person at the Animal Coinic 🐾❤️

Our dog, Aster, had her first vet appointment at City Pets today with Dr. Burdick. We couldn’t be happier with her and the staff! Everyone was very sweet with her and took the time to hear all of the details of her recent sickness and medical history. Aster can be shy and fearful but she was still smiling after she got her shots! Dr. Burdick had some great suggestions for us on how to manage her allergies, and was very clear about outlining our care options and costs. With the symptoms she was experiencing, any vet facility could have recommended expensive testing and X-rays, but I was happy to see a more rational approach to her symptoms. We’ll definitely be back!

My cat Bullseye (18 years old) wasn’t feeling well and very sick, Dr. Gappas was amazing and she really cares for animals. The entire staff was helpful and really supportive during this stressful time. I would highly recommend this Vet for your pets. Thank you so much to the entire staff you have no idea how grateful we are of your help.

I used to go to Just for Fido back when my Miniature Schnauzer, Jenny, was alive (She passed away at the beginning of the pandemic). I remember them being very respectful and treating Jenny like she was their dog. I haven't been back in a while due to me not having a dog to bring to get groomed. Well, that has now changed. I have a new dog. She is a Miniature Australian Shepherd. Her name is Lucy. I plan on bringing her to Brady and the Just for Fido team to get groomed here pretty soon and I am looking forward to dropping her off there in the near future.

I have taken all my animals here an my daughters have all their animals here yesterday 1/17/24 we had my daughters cat Harley fixed there an as usual they did awesome I had all my cats fixed all my other animals have always went there my mother in law takes hers there my yorkie daisy has allergies to everything an I just can assure you that this place is worth every penny and low cost they are just so wonderful. If you are worried about finding the right vet believe all the reviews cause I am NOT the only one who thinks this place is 😊 THANKS PARSONS ANIMAL CLINIC

As the head of an animal rescue society, I deal with vets frequently. We have found it home yet with caring and knowledgeable professionals. Less expensive than Manhattan travel.

I asked for my dog to have a sanitary cut I pick him up they have shaved his testicles which I didn’t ask, the price given over the phone was $30 more, plus my pet was in a kennel while all the other doodles were running around. 1st & last visit. The cut was awful as well.

On a recent visit to Shreveport, I called Just For Fido to ask for an appointment for my dog. She needed freshened up, bad(!) Cavaliers, it happens…. They saw her that very day. She came back to me smelling SO nice, not perfumed (although she had a very nice scent), but truly cleaned. Ears, etc, clean as a whistle! Paw pads soft, brushed and brushed, and neatly trimmed exactly how I asked. They don’t kennel there and only take small dogs. My dog had a blast playing with the other “kids. I know she had fun bc I came back for a quick look to see how it was going. I felt the price was reasonable. They took the normal precautions re: proof of vaccination, emergency contacts, etc. Next time I’m in town, I’ll make a point of going back. It was a good experience for us both!!! Thank you “Just For Fido”. Thumbs up all around:)

CityPets 614 has been wonderful for my family for our veterinary and daycare needs.
The location is perfect for where we live, walkable but also plenty of parking.

All of the staff I have interacted with have been friendly, kind, and helpful. They all know my dog and are happy to see him. He gets excited every time we go (maybe because he can’t tell if it’s the vet or daycare lol), but even vet appointments are tolerable because he gets lots of love and treats.

I have always been able to get an appointment in a very reasonable amount of time, and in-office waiting is minimal. They have been very communicative about test results and such, and easy to get a hold of with questions. When my dog goes to daycare, they send pics (sometimes twice a day!) which is so reassuring that he is safe and having fun.

I have to make a special mention of Dr. Chapman. I had a very traumatic experience in November 2022 that resulted in the untimely death of a pet. After some time, I felt that I may be ready to adopt another pet, but I had major concerns about the circumstances that led to that incident and the possibility of such a thing happening again. I called the office and to be honest I was sort of desperate- I didn’t know who I expected to talk to or what I expected them to say, but I didn’t want to go into bringing another pet home blindly. The office person quickly got Dr. Chapman who spoke to me for 15+ minutes. She listened to my concerns, validated my fears, and comforted and counseled me. She took time out of her day to help me understand whether my home was safe for an animal and whether I could’ve done anything differently. Her compassion and thoroughness made me a lifelong customer here.

Careless. Avoid this place, especially if you have smaller dogs. My dog’s last visit turned into nightmare. My dog was bitten here and had a resulting infection. No one on staff notified me of any incidents nor mentioned anything during pick up. My dog was acting slightly off when I picked him up, walking a little off and I noticed what looked like a small scrape on his behind. I cleaned it with soap and water and did not think much of it. I gave him a proper bath 2 days later and discovered a puncture wound underneath his fur, at this point, very swollen and red. I spent $1,000 in vet bills to clean the wound and in resulting antibiotics and anti-inflammation medications, on top of hearing him scream while he was getting medical care. While this was truly an awful experience, I would be less upset if someone had informed me of any accidents during his stay so we could get immediate medical care. I asked several times for video footage, and they kept saying they did not see anything abnormal, no accidents on video. Even then, they still did not show me any video footage whatsoever. If they are so attentive and really care to watch over your dogs, I still cannot fathom how this accident was not noticed at all or how anyone did not hear my dog yelping.

Dr. Hodge & Staff always do a wonderful job with my puppy! They always answer the phone, and always call to give me any needed updates after appointments. We love coming here!

I took my dog in to put him down he had cancer these people went beyond and above thank for the great service I really appreciate it

Friendly and efficient. Will be returning.

Shared ownership is Dr. Dan and Dr. Jill Bishop. There EXISTS NO FINER CARE FOR YOUR PETS! And, another Party I only understand is included in this Partnership of two entities. Trust me; the Bishops have complete reliability in the success of this Venture.
I know you will be pleased with your pet in their care. Also includes pet grooming and luxury overnight accommodations!

I came in to PetSmart to p/u my online order that was paid for. This was Tuesday evening, Nov. 15. The woman that I asked to help me said I had to wait in line for her to give me my order and the lines were long. She had a set of keys, so I guess she is a supervisor or something. She helped the other cashier with her keys on that register. I understand I would need to wait for her to finish the customer she was waiting on, but I did not think I should have to wait at the back of the line. When you order online your supposed to be able to skip the line. What's the purpose of ordering online? She said she did this to every customer that's picking up an online order. She was very rude about it. I did wait in line but I was so embarrassed by her attitude toward me in front of everybody!

Worst vet I’ve ever been with. Tabitha specifically was incredibly rude threatening to send me my records because I was clearly unsatisfied with being forced to reschedule a second time. They have incredibly limited parking, the vet never makes an effort to meet clients and tries to coerce spending money by saying your dog has a possible serious condition on the very first visit (she was fine, just a growing pup) and to top it all off they down you with emails constantly trying to get more money out of you. Don’t go here!

Reasonably priced, very kind service! They give you a lot of direction and the doctor really cares about your pets. She takes her time to give you the best and most reasonable diagnosis and further advice. Would recommend!

This is not the same place it used to be. The new people never remember us and the staff aren’t anything like Brady was. My friend’s dog suffered an injury there and no one would even explain what happened to him. I’m not sure why Brady is never there anymore, I hope he is ok, but I’m not returning again.

I had a wonderful visit with Dr. Hodge. I had just adopted my kitten and he completed a very thorough check to make sure she was in perfect health! Dr. Hodge took his time to explain everything to me in detail and made sure I understood the diagnosis and treatments. I will be returning, and I recommend this vet to anyone in the area!

The groomer here is awesome. Our German wired hair pointer never feels anxious or nervous coming here. We have taken her here twice and every time the groomer has nailed it! No extra hidden charges and reasonable prices for grooming.
And they put cute bandanas or bows on the pups when finished :)

Brady has been grooming our Yorkshire Terrier, named Mia, for past 2 & 1 half years, and he does a beautiful job with her. The first time I brought her in I showed him a picture of how I wanted her cut, and when I picked her up she looked exactly like the dog in the picture. Furthermore, he keeps on file how he is to cut her.

I have used this Groomer for about two years now. I am very particular about my fur babies when it comes to their care. There has never been any damages (nick's or cuts) as has happened at other places. My babies come out looking great. The service goes beyond the norm that other places offer.
I can't say enough good about this place and the employees.

I love Just for Fideaux. I haven't seen an ugly dog there yet, so I'm sorry Charles had a bad experience. My experiences there have always been good ones and Brady always asks what I want done. If he doesn't think it would look good, he'll tell me ahead of time. I figure they are the experts and should know, just like any hairdresser should know what will look good. Five stars for Fido.

Wonderful, caring staff will make you feel welcome from the moment you step inside. They saw my dog same day for a broken toe. If you are anywhere in the city I'd look no further. Lovely loft style decor.

Brady and his team are some of the best groomers in town. They turned my Mom's Shih Tzu into a million dollars....very impressive work. Nice, kind, great rates.

My Mom is very particular, and when you impress her...well...you've made a client/friend for life. She was FLOORED when she picked up "Weechee" :)

Can't recommend them HIGHLY enough!

My dog has some health and major anxiety issues so I was concerned when moving about finding a good vet but Dr. Hodge put my mind at ease with our visit to him. He and Tabitha could not have made it a better experience, they were both wonderful with my little Maltese and spent ample time going through her issues (previous history and current concerns) with me. Many thanks to both of them for taking the time with us to be so thorough and answer all of my many questions!!

Wonderful experience taking my dog Maggie there to treat an ear infection. Dr. Hodge was very informative and great with her! The rest of the staff was great too; very informative,friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable and are provided before the services are performed so you know what to expect. The exam seemed very thorough and detailed, along with the report notes they give to you (and send via e-mail). Overall, great first experience and will definitely be taking Maggie there in the future. I highly recommend to anyone.
