Petropolis Pet Grooming Salon at a glance

Google reviewers rate Petropolis Pet Grooming Salon 4.7 out of 5 based on 109 reviews, with the owner not replying to any.

Recurring themes highlight the gentle handling of anxious pets and the effectiveness of Monday drop-in nail clinics. However, several low-star reviews criticize specific grooming outcomes, noting that cuts did not match requested lengths, resulting in unsatisfactory results or additional veterinary costs.

Both of my pups love their groomer, Michelle. One of my guys did not like getting groomed prior to our groomer switch. Michelle sings to him. They get so excited to see her. Nine and 10yrs old, my request is always puppy cuts, and my boys are happy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't thank this team enough for the care and compassion they showed my dog after he spent four days roaming around.

They did an amazing job getting him cleaned up and comfortable again, and they treated him like one of their own. Seeing him happy, clean, and feeling better after such a stressful experience meant the world to our family. We will be a forever client. Thank you for going above and beyond and helping our boy get back to feeling like himself again. We are forever grateful and highly recommend your services!❤️.
