Natalie did such a fantastic job on our Golden Retriever! He can be a lot to handle, and she made him look absolutely perfect. His coat is so soft, perfectly trimmed, and you can tell she really took her time and cared about the details. He came home happy, clean, and smelling amazing. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and treats the dogs so well.

I would rate lower if possible. I came in to give my new rescue dog a bath (NOT groomed) with an 8:30 AM appointment scheduled earlier that week. They boarded him for 5 hours before seeing him, even though he was supposedly "second" on the list. I specifically had called days before asking for advice regarding how I could get him seen as soon as possible in the day because of his anxiety. And they said to leave him with a specific groomer because they would see him first. And after 5.5 hours of waiting to pick him up, they did not even call me when he was ready, even though they TOLD me they would call me, twice. They only sent an e-mail to me saying he was ready an hour after I had picked him up myself. They also persuaded me to leave a tip before I could even see my dog to assess the w

I highly recommend the dog spot for grooming services!! I brought in my pup, Milo who is usually very timid and anxious when going to get groomed or the vet. Natalie, the groomer was very patient, understanding, listened to what I wanted on his groom and even offered recommendations before bringing him back. When I came to pick him up I could tell that Natalie took great care of him. Not only was his haircut perfect and what I wanted but he warmed up to her and was starting to be playful and take treats from her. Natalie seems to be very experienced and professional and will now be going to her. They are also reasonably priced compared to other places and it is very easy to book and not booked up for months which I appreciate.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brooklynn White · Jan 2026

I tipped before I saw my dog and I feel like I shouldn’t have. I made an appointment and dropped my dog off at 10 am right when they opened, and I couldn’t pick her up until 3:30, that’s like 5.5 hours for just a bath and nail trim for my very tame dog. She was very wet when I picked her up and had hair all over her, meaning they did not blow dry her. They offered to dry her off more which I appreciated, but at that point they’d taken long enough already I really didn’t have time to wait. Her teeth and ears are clean and nails trimmed, which were the things I wanted most, but I don’t feel like it was worth the $90 I paid for just a bath and her teeth. For it to take that long and for her to still be very very wet and not even smell that good, I’m disappointed to say the least. I’ll jus

I’ve used The Dog Spot for months without issue, but this recent experience has left me deeply disappointed. My dog has stayed here numerous times, was suddenly banned for allegedly damaging a door—yet there’s no video response so far, no real explanation, just a photo and a vague message. When I asked where this happened, I was told he was put in “timeout” because he wanted to play but the other dogs didn’t. That logic makes no sense to me. What’s worse is that I’ve since learned I’m not alone—several friends have had similar experiences with their dogs being banned under questionable circumstances. It seems like dogs who are higher energy or need more attention are quietly pushed out. The day I dropped him off, the staff member seemed visibly frustrated and told me they were close to t
