What customers said about dog grooming
The Dog Stop - The ColonyI came to the area for daughter's wedding and I needed to have somewhere for my dogs to go for the couple days of my visit. This place made everything easy. They did great job with my two boys and even had them all washed up and ready for our long trip home to Az.
The Dog Stop - The ColonyI really appreciate how the groomer took extra care in grooming our doodle. She is very detailed & informed me about all she did with our boy. And I love the cute Halloween bow tie on his neck when all was done. Highly recommend Dog Stop for all your pet needs!
The Dog Stop - The ColonyI've been bringing my maltipoo here since she was a pup and she gets so excited every month when it's time for her to get groomed. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my sweet girl. I highly recommend them.
The Dog Stop - The ColonyJust moved here and needed a groomer. Our pup looked amazing and you can just feel when people care about your pups. The Dog Spot personnel definitely give all the feels.
The Dog Stop - The ColonyGrab a leash and bop on over to the Dog Stop for a summer refresh for your sweet fur babies! They treat your baby like it’s their baby! Christy and staff are very caring and professional!
The Dog Stop - The ColonyAll services are so amazing, my boy gets everything here! The people are so genuine and amazing, thank you for what you do!

How we grade

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0.
