What Reviews Say

126 reviews analyzed

Biscuits & Bath Upper East Side receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (approximately 75% are 5-star), with particular praise for staff genuine care, excellent communication via text/photos, and dogs clearly enjoying the facility. However, serious red flags exist including a dog death after grooming, multiple dog attack incidents, and reports of unsanitary conditions. Pricing concerns are common (described as expensive but worth it), and specific staff members (Vanessa, Nicole) have received criticism for rudeness. The owner responds professionally to nearly all reviews within 1 day, though occasionally appears defensive in contentious situations. Repeat customers are common, with many using the facility for years.

Worth noting

Dog died after grooming - possible kennel cough/pneumonia

โ€œLil girl Grey Daniels died 10/25 7pm after grooming on 10/13. I sent a perfectly healthy dog into a spa as a treat, gift, reward and now she is dead.โ€

Dog attacked by aggressive dog in daycare - multiple incidents

โ€œDog was bitten by a troubled dog who had been aggressive in the past but was allowed to stay and was allowed on the play area due to the mistake of a volunteer.โ€

Dog left alone at night in distress

โ€œWe saw a Frenchie in the middle of the room... clearly shaking and cold and anxious, and nobody was there at all. The lights were all off... That dog was SHAKING.โ€

Unsanitary conditions - dogs walking in feces, eating vomit

โ€œCompletely unsanitary, the dogs had to walk around their feces, I witnessed a dog eat his own throw up.โ€

Dog returned injured/sick

โ€œAfter my dog spent two nights he came back with a sprained leg, constipation and a virus.โ€

Overpriced services(8 mentions)

โ€œGreat bath but very overpriced ๐Ÿ˜ขโ€

Staff rudeness (Vanessa, Nicole)(4 mentions)

โ€œThe very rude very unprofessional worker Vanessa... She didn't look up at or welcome me.โ€

Poor communication about updates(3 mentions)

โ€œEvery time my dog boarded, I had to call in to get an update, even though every time they would tell me that they'd call/e-mail updates.โ€

Pricing transparency issues(2 mentions)

โ€œTheir pricing is confusing and seems intentionally misleading... their advertised prices per day aren't actually what you end up paying.โ€
