Doggie Styles Pet Grooming Shelton, Connecticut

My dogs and I love Doggie Styles! I’ve brought my dogs there for years and we’ve had a great experience every time. The Doggie Styles team seems to enjoy what they do and love working with pets.

Always a Great Experience at Doggie Styles! We love Sarah and so does our dog Maci, Thank you Doggie Styles for making our girl look her Best!

I absolutely love coming here! All of the staff members are so sweet, caring, gentle and just a pleasure to speak/work with! I bring my cat, Kalypso, who is extremely fluffy and gets matted easily. Sadie works her magic and Kalypso is returned looking (and smelling! ) Amazing! ????

Always accommodating. Have used them for years.

I love Keith. He’s fantastic. The lovely young lady who pedicures Gomez is terrific. Gomez adores her. Love going to Doggie Styles. Puts a smile on my face, even the name.

Doggie Styles is the absolute best! My pups are very nervous and grooming day is challenging for them, but the staff is amazing! They are so loving, caring and patient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

FANTASTIC experience!! Our big dog is incredibly fearful and difficult when it comes to getting his nails trimmed. The woman that greeted us was calm and confident as she took Michael in the back to meet his groomer. She stayed with him and calmed him as his groomer clipped his nails. They were both lovely!! Michael did GREAT!! That is the first time in 7 years I can say that. His nails grow fast so we will be returning every few weeks. The anxiety about getting this done is gone. We came from using another groomer in Huntington Center and the whole vibe in there was just off. After our experience today I have to believe the energy in there made our dog even more stressed. We had used them for a long time but the groomer we loved is gone so it led us to look for a new groomer. Soooooo happy that we found this great groomer ♥️♥️♥️ Five Paws Up!!

My dog ended up with a feeding tube! On Saturday, Nov. 7, we took our dog, Ziggy, to Doggie Styles. When we got home, Ziggy was a bit tired, which is not uncommon after several hours at the groomer. However, the next morning, Ziggy was unresponsive and he had a hard time staying on his legs. We noticed that his tongue was severely swollen and that he was not able to drink or swallow. We took the dog to the emergency room at the animal hospital, where he is still being treated. According to the vet, the dog’s tongue was dried out and got infected. Ziggy had a high fever and our little dog was clinging to his dear life. He had to be treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication and stayed overnight at the animal hospital. The next day he had to have surgery to have a feeding tube inserted and it is possible that the tongue has to be amputated. The reason for Ziggy’s current state is the lack of care on the part of the groomer when the dog was in the so-called “dryer”, a large machine that blows air into the crate. The injuries suggest that the dog was left in the dryer for too long and that he did not have access to water when being dried. In fact, one of the groomers at Doggie Styles confirmed in a phone conversation (after the incident) that the dogs at Doggie Styles do not receive any water, unless this is specifically asked for. The employee then flippantly added that “when your dog can’t live for 4 hours without water, then you have to notify us.” Is that how you treat a customer whose dog is dying? Making snarky remarks? And not only that, but the remark was also wrong: Ziggy had been at the groomer for seven (!) hours. Dog experts agree that dogs should have access to water. Denying a dog water for more than seven hours, and especially when the dog has to sit in a dryer for a prolonged amount of time, qualifies as neglect. Even if you go to the shabbiest diner, the first thing you get is a glass of water. Wouldn’t you, as a customer, expect that your dog gets something to drink when he is at the groomer for an entire day? And especially when the dog has to sit in a dryer. By definition, a dryer dries. Even if it only uses air at room temperature, the goal is to dry the dog. This is simple logic: The drying process in combination with the withholding of water simply is neglect. The employee defended herself by saying that something like this had never happened. For one, there is no proof that this has indeed never happened. And even if this were the first time (which I doubt, given the practice of neglect), the fact that our dog needed emergency surgery shows that neglect is happening at this salon. The groomer is refusing to take responsibility and essentially pretends nothing had happened. The employee only defended the practices of the salon and she does not show particular interest in the condition and health of our dog. The owner blames our dog and preexisting health conditions for his current state. This is not only cheap but it also distracts from the simple fact that this salon does not care about your dog. Do you want to leave your dog with a groomer who is denying your beloved family member water for seven hours? Do you want to leave your dog with someone who doesn’t take responsibility? Someone who doesn’t know what’s right for your dog? Doggie Styles is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau … apparently for very good reasons! The simple fact is, Ziggy could have died after visiting this salon. The groomer admits that he did not receive any water for seven hours. Ziggy has a feeding tube sticking out of his neck. If you have a dog: is that what you want? I would be scared taking another dog to Doggie Styles!

I would never go to another groomer. They care so much about the dogs, treat them amazing, have amazing customer service, and do an exceptional job.

This was the first time for Buddy at Doggie Styles. He seemed fine when I picked him up. He looked great too! We will be back.

The folks at Doggie Styles are great. My pups love the way they are treated. I have been going to Doggie Styles for nearly 20 years and have no need to find anyone else. Great place.

I was very impressed on the attentive care the groomer displayed for my dog. All nice employees and a convenient location.

Very friendly and professional. My dog sees Sadie. Sadie is excellent and their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!!

I took my 6 month old Yorkie there yesterday and could not be happier! The owner and groomer Meghan were so nice. I was worried how it would go cause he’s a puppy (first grooming) so he’s so playful and jumpy, but she said he did excellent and there’s not a thing I would change about his groom! Plus no scrapes or burns and he came home happier than when I dropped him off.

Sadie is an excellent groomer with my cats and dog! Doggie Styles is the best! Wouldn’t go to another other grooming place!

Great staff, great management, we love supporting local businesses. The best dog groomers in CT. Highly recommend. 5/5 paws from Lou

took my 16 year old poodle who can be very grumpy and non compliant. but they took amazing care of him. one of the friendliest and best groomers in ct.

I'm very disappointed. We have been going here for awhile and the last few times the girls complained our dog barks. Also more than once my dog left there and got an ear infection because they failed to dry his ears. Now I tried to book an appointment and she basically told me we cannot help you we have nothing available for months! I even asked for any day during the week. I could tell she did not want to book my dog. Our dog is a gentleman and if he barks its because they ignore him and also my dogs always dying of thirst like they don't give him water. We will Never give this place business again.

After a big mix up they were very accommodating. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place service was great my dog looked amazing.

First time going. My daughter was making an experiment with honey and some spilled onto my puppy. I called them and was able to help in a pinch. They are great... my puppy came out smelling clean and no more sticky honey on her. The place was very clean and friendly . I will be definitely going back.

They did a great job grooming our dogs.

I love the care my pets have gotten over the years from the groomers at Doggie Styles. They are kind, helpful and loving to the pets in their care. I've been taking my pets to them for a few years and wouldn't go anywhere else!

Sadie is the best!!....other staff is great too!

We've been bringing our dogs here since they opened. We moved to another city and tried a groomer closer, ended up right back with doggie styles. Id rather make the drive than go somewhere else. They take great care of our dogs.

My first time taking my fur babies ! These ladies did an amazing job on River and Hutch ! Made my second appt ! Love them !

Sadie is the best!, great place...best around.

I usually go to Sara. However, my dog had an appointment with Cheri. I was hesitant at first bc my dog- Gorgo can quickly stress, but Gorgo did great with Cheri. Cheri did such a phenomenal job grooming my keeshond! Thank you so much for the great service.

After visiting a few local groomers this was the only groomer that actually groomed my Maltese perfectly! Looking forward to bringing hung my new Goldendoodle for his first grooming soon.

I had high expectations and you exceeded them. Love this new place! Took my two fur babies who are over 70 pounds and they made them feel at home for their first time at a dog grooming salon. I will continue to bring them here due to the amazing service and professionalism they exemplify. 5 stars from me! TY!

We’ve been customers of Doggie Styles for 6+ years and have had nothing but great experiences. The groomers are great about discussing the desired cut, scheduling appointments is easy, my dog is ready when promised and the staff is always kind and courteous! Highly recommend!
