Customer Reviews
This place is amazing and so cute inside! My pup sees Mel, and she does a fantastic job every single time. She really listens to what you want and delivers. Recently I wanted a Mohawk and she did a really good job. My dog always comes home happy with a cute little bow tie or bandana, and they usually call within a couple of hours to pick him up. Highly recommend Mel if you’re looking for a great groomer!
I have been bringing my standard poodle to this groomer for two years, so today’s experience was beyond disappointing. I came in with a very specific cut, made sure my dog was extra brushed and poofy, and showed a picture of exactly what I wanted. The request was simple—lower, more circular poofs. My dog had NO mats. She has never been shaved once since she was a puppy, and she is now two years old. When I picked her up, I was shocked to see that they had completely shaved my dog down. Instead of taking accountability, the owner, Sarah, repeatedly claimed my dog was “extremely matted” and “too sensitive,” which is absolutely false. Then she made a comment about how it “always takes a long time to brush her,” despite the fact that they literally charge an extra $20 for brushing—which I have
We took our 5 month old Bernedoodle here for his first haircut and they did an amazing job based off the inspiration picture we showed them. We were a bit worried he wouldn't let them complete a full haircut as it was his first grooming experience, but they were able to do it! Highly recommend star dog salon and we will be coming back for all future grooming needs!
What a wonderful Pet Spa. Thats right, spa, not a typical groomer. From entry you can feel the spa atmosphere and know your pet will be pampered. My three poodles enjoyed their time and came out looking (and smelling) beautifully. Great attention to detail and groomers that followed my request and direction. Absolutely will be using Star Dog as my new groomer.
I honestly don’t understand the good reviews, cheap grooming? Yes. But everything else is a no for me. They look like they have zero interest in your requests (which for me is just anal glands expressed and ears cleaned since I have a hound dog) and it always feels like they rush you out the door! Anytime I’ve taken my dog it’s been a last resort since polished pooch was booked out and every time I pick up my hound she’s crying all the way home with red eyes, something I never experienced at polished pooch not once. Sure, they put an accessory on her, welcome to every groomer. But my dog is so scared to go to groomers after this place until she gets used to her normal patient and passionate groomer again. If you have an anxious rescue, AVOID! There’s better places.
