Bravado uses a grinding tool to buzz my pup's nails. She's a tripod and very sensitive about her paws so clipping her nails was always an anxiety trip. The groomers here are kind, skilled and clearly love dogs. Bravado is a 5-star groomer!!!
I’ve been taking my five-year-old dog here since she was a puppy and couldn’t recommend it more! They do such a great job and the staff is amazing and kind. They recently expanded the lobby and it’s so cute. I’m grateful for Bravado keeping my baby girl clean and beautiful!
I found Bravado Dog Grooming when I was looking for a Fear-Free groomer for my puppy. Bravado was conveniently located, affordable, quick, and always made my mini bernedoodle look good! I have since moved away from Austin, and I haven’t been able to find a groomer anywhere near as good as Bravado — especially for their prices! They go above and beyond. They gave me a small bag with some of my dog’s puppy coat before she grew out of it, and they took cute back-to-school and Santa and other themed seasonal photos. I highly recommend Bravado!
Our neighbor (Charlie’s mom) recommended this place and we drive from South Austin to come here. Our dog has had 2 great grooming appointments here and we love it!
Excellent service
Best groomers around. Best bandanas.
I have been taking my babies to Bravado since it was in a food truck. They are the only people my dogs will trust and I’ve never had a bad experience. They go out of their way to help my dogs. They are AMAZING. I trust them and that’s major. Thank you, Thank you!!!
I couldn’t ask for a better groomer. They always go above and beyond when I bring my Pomeranian there. 10/10 recommend!
The owners and staff are some of the most compassionate, thoughtful, talented, and hard-working folks. They treat my dogs like they are royalty and always give perfect cuts. I cannot say enough praise about Bravado!
Top notch groomers. I took my Maltese dogs here the whole decade I lived in Austin and we've never had a bad experience. They've always taken great care of my pups and do great haircuts. They schedule via text message, and for the past year or so I can usually get an appointment for two dogs within a week or so. Their pricing is very reasonable, a bit lower than all the places I've tried out when one of my dogs rolls in its own feces and Bravado doesn't have any openings on short notice. I particularly love that they don't crate the dogs here; instead they have these little partitioned off mini-rooms with half-height walls, so the dogs are safely out of harm's way but don't feel isolated. And they can stare out the window and bark at passersby :)
