Ahead of the Pack

When our groomer moved to Ahead of the Pack a few years ago, we decided to follow her—and we’re so glad we did! We absolutely ❤️ Ahead of the Pack. Mary is always so welcoming and keeps us on track with friendly appointment reminders. Stacey is not just an amazing groomer, she’s a true dog lover—our pup Oscar adores his Aunty Stacey! Hope, the owner, has created something really special here. This place is a local gem, and we can’t recommend it highly enough

Karen is simply wonderful. She has great staff too. She treats your dog with such care and kindness. Professional, funny and dependable. She has cut my dog Cosby for years and I've never been disappointed. When my dog was diagnosed with operable cancer she took extra special care of him, even applying light massage & reiki. I had to cancel our last appointment because Cosby was showing signs of suffering and it was time... the time we all dread. Karen followed up with a call to check on me & my Cosby. If I ever get another dog, even though it's a ride for me, I'll definitely bring them her. Thank you Karen fir being an angel to my love.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Grooming Team Around! I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Hope and her amazing team at Ahead of the pack! They’ve been grooming all of my dogs for years, and every single visit reminds me why I trust no one else. The love, care, and attention they give to each pup is unmatched. My dogs always come home not only looking incredible but also happy, calm, and clearly well-treated - let’s be real: spoiled rotten! It’s no surprise they’ve won Best in RI four years in a row—honestly, they deserve it every year. The entire team is professional, skilled, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I always know my pups are in the best hands, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for a grooming team that treats your dogs like fa

Hope is the best! Our pup loves going to see her and always comes out so happy and clean! She does a great job and he usually comes home with the cutest accessories :)

My dog smells spectacular when she comes home! Hope and the rest of staff make you feel like family!
