What Reviews Say

550 reviews analyzed

Groomingville enjoys overwhelmingly positive reviews with a 5-star average, praised for their cage-free environment, exceptional care for anxious and senior dogs, and skilled doodle grooming. The majority of customers are long-term loyal clients who appreciate the friendly staff and consistent quality. However, a notable minority of reviews (approximately 9% are 1-star) highlight serious concerns including pricing inconsistencies, communication failures, and isolated but alarming safety incidents involving injuries to dogs. The owner actively responds to reviews with a warm, grateful tone within 24 hours. While the positive experience appears to be the norm, prospective customers should be aware of the pricing transparency issues and rare but serious injury reports that appear in negative reviews.

Worth noting

Chemical eye injury requiring emergency vet care

โ€œGroomingville badly injured my dog by splashing caustic chemicals into my dog's eyes. We had to rush to the emergency vet to flush his eyes.โ€

Dog bite injuries during grooming/daycare

โ€œThere are multiple spots where two marks are similarly spaced and beginning to scab over. We counted 6-8 different marks on his back that we are assuming to be bites.โ€

Unreported cuts and injuries found after pickup

โ€œWe noticed our dog had large scabbing in the inner ear so we called Groomingville for more information and the person that provided the services admitted that the ear was cut during the grooming but "forgot" to tell us.โ€

Possible over-sedation or unusual behavior post-grooming

โ€œShe was not her normal self! She couldn't hardly walk, she kept licking her paws and she had no energy. I called there the next morning and spoke to a manager. She denied anything strange happened or that my dog was given any medication.โ€

Tail injury with significant bleeding

โ€œOur poor maltese girl did not need to experience such pain; and lose so much blood just to be groomed. They cut her tail; and it was bleeding non-stop.โ€

Pricing inconsistencies and unexpected charges(12 mentions)

โ€œI was told over the phone a full groom for my small puppy was going to be around 85$ but when it was all said and done they said the total was 100$.โ€

Communication failures about services and pricing(8 mentions)

โ€œDespite providing very clear and detailed instructions on the website form, the front desk never seems to know what I have requested.โ€

Uneven or unsatisfactory haircuts(6 mentions)

โ€œThe hair cut was very choppy and uneven, and my dog had a sizable cut on the side of his face!โ€

Staff attitude and professionalism issues(5 mentions)

โ€œThe groomer who took care of her wasn't even around when I came to pick up my dog. If I could leave negative stars, I would.โ€
