What Reviews Say

216 reviews analyzed

Throw Me A Bone is highly regarded for its exceptional staff and robust communication, particularly the live webcams and detailed digital report cards. While the basement facility is noted as small by some, the high level of individual attention and the 'tired but happy' state of returning dogs drive strong customer loyalty. Occasional friction exists regarding grooming consistency and strict behavioral policies, but management is notably proactive in addressing negative feedback.

Worth noting

Grooming injuries

my dog had THREE cuts on his skin. The groomer didn’t say a word, didn’t apologize, didn’t even acknowledge what he’d done.

Aggressive upselling/Training requirement

told us our dog couldn’t return until we signed up for their training program. It felt less like genuine behavioral concern and more like a sales tactic.

Grooming quality/shaving(3 mentions)

She been almost shaved without call me first... my dog’s coat was cut unevenly, with long and short patches.

Facility layout/Basement location(4 mentions)

the facility is in the basement... It’s very small, windowless, and feels quite suffocating.

Appointment/Deposit issues(2 mentions)

They cancelled our puppy’s grooming appointment twice... and they make you forfeit your deposit when you dont make it.
