What Reviews Say
111 reviews analyzedBone Sweet Bone enjoys strong customer loyalty with overwhelmingly positive reviews praising their friendly staff, quality grooming, and cage-free safe environment. However, there are serious safety concerns including 4-5 high-severity incidents involving dog injuries (attacks, choking, trauma) that represent significant red flags. The grooming department shows mixed results - many satisfied customers but recurring complaints about cuts being too short, nail trimming issues, and post-grooming ear infections. The owner responds professionally to all negative reviews but the pattern of safety incidents is concerning.

Worth noting
Dog attacked by another dog, staff accused the customer's dog of being aggressor until video evidence proved otherwise
โmy dog was attacked here by another dog. They tried to make it seem like my dog started the fight, but after going through the security footage it was clear that he did not.โ
Dog suffered hemorrhages in both eyes from being tethered too tight and choked
โI picked up my dog to find her with HEMORRHAGES IN BOTH EYES after grooming & daycare! The answer was NOTHING! It was caused by being tethered too tight and essentially CHOKING HER!!โ
