Hair Of The Dog

I could not recommend this business more highly!!! I have been bringing my dogs to Hair of the Dog since moving back to Grinnell in 2021 and have had nothing but the most fantastic experiences with them! One of my dogs is utterly impossible when it comes to nail trims and I can hardly keep track of how many different places, both before moving to Grinnell and since, that have utterly failed at giving him a good nail trim - especially one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg AND have me doing as much wrestling with him as the groomer! The staff at Hair of the Dog, however, have been extremely open to trial and error until we finally figured out the best way to get him in and out with minimal effort and stress, all while keeping the costs EXTREMELY reasonable. My other dog is a senior with spe

*WARNING PICTURES POSTED BELOW* EDIT TO ADD: Hair of the dog Grinell I’m not one to bash businesses on Facebook because I do believe mistakes happen; but I am going to make a clear point. If you hurt a dog in anyway, shape, or form as a groomer that leaves my mom paying a very large vet bill & her dog getting multiple stitches on her neck I do think you should have some sympathy as a business owner & pay for that large vet bill. They said my mom signed a form stating that if anything happened she was to pay for it at her own expense, but the form stated these exact words “all precautions will be taken, however problems occasionally arise, during or after grooming, such as nicks, clipper irritation and mental or physical stress” My mom marked the line that she herby grant permission to thi

The Owners have handled my Pyrenees and Flat Coated Retriever with care. The wash and blow out, as well as nail trims have always left both dogs looking great. My pups have never been injured, handled roughly, or mistreated. My dogs are big and not very cooperative in the grooming process, yet they have handled them very well. Their prices are very reasonable for having to groom large, long haired pups.

They were amazing with our pups, even after we had some potty mishaps due to excitement and boy were they excited! The shop is super nice and the staff was very helpful. It was affordable and our dogs looked amazing and even topped with a bow, not to mention the time it took was fast and efficient! They are definitely our permanent groomers from now on! Best they have ever looked!

Hair of the Dog takes the best care of my dogs. My oldest dog can be a bit testy and other groomers didn’t have patience and charged us a naughty dog fee. Matt and Nikki have been the absolute best at calming him and getting him groomed. No cares more for the dogs they groom. Their place is always clean which is a must for me. I realize there are other reviews out there but dig through the weeds and get to know them yourself. You will NOT be disappointed!
