What Reviews Say
94 reviews analyzedNice Diggz Midtown is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 75% of reviews being 5-star. The facility excels at dog daycare and grooming, with staff who genuinely love dogs and produce excellent results. However, there are significant red flags around communication - specifically the recurring issue of nail quicking not being disclosed to owners (6+ incidents), which damages trust. A serious incident involving a groomer striking a dog was addressed but shows safety gaps. The owner responds professionally to all reviews, including negative ones, but some responses appear defensive when defending against accusations of dishonesty. Value is consistently praised as reasonable. The business would benefit greatly from improved communication protocols around grooming incidents.

Worth noting
Groomer struck a dog hard
โI was dropping off two dogs and had to bribe one to the back and saw the groomer hit a dog really hard. Worse part no one cared too much.โ
Nail quicking without disclosure - multiple incidents
โtwo of his nails were cut so short they were bleeding very badly and wouldn't stop... They would have clearly noticed this and purposely didn't tell meโ
Dog injured during grooming (cut ear)
โthe girl at the front said that the groomer cut her ear by accident and there is a huge scabโ
Anxious dog mishandled - forced into muzzle without owner consent
โThey'd forced him into a muzzle and kept clipping while he shrieked. No treats. And kept going while he shrieked to finish the job.โ
Significant over-grooming/over-shaving against owner instructions
โI was horrified to find that he had been shaved almost entirely, with his belly completely exposedโ
Lack of communication about grooming issues(8 mentions)
โThe business seems to forget the human element and customer service part of their job.โ
Nail quicking not disclosed to owners(6 mentions)
โI find it highly irresponsible that no one at the salon/store told us about the nail bleeding - almost like they hoped we wouldn't notice.โ
Groom not matching owner instructions(5 mentions)
โI asked for a light trim... What I got was a shorter trim than expected, uneven face and chest and her ears trimmed.โ
Staff ignoring owner input about dog behavior/needs(3 mentions)
โI expected them to be prepared to groom a dog in her situation and assign the best groomer for the job... The groomer did not answer and went to the back to get her.โ
