A Ruff Joint Knoxville, Kentucky

My 2 pups have been there a bunch of times over the last 4 years. They always leave looking great and smelling fresh!!

Tara is amazing. Here's a photo of my dog's first cut by Tara a few years ago.

Absolutely wonderful, she's very good with what she does, I'm happy

They did such a great job with my pup! They were responsive to messages and very covid safe. I appreciate all y’all did! Thank you!

Tried to charge me a cancellation fee when I call to postpone my Dogs appointment. Cause it wasn't at least 24 hours in advance.

Seemed nice, a little expensive, but the main problem was that they cut my dog's nails back to the quick and made them bleed. I expected more from a professional.

My dog trainer recommended I go here, and Tara does an amazing job with my Old English Sheepdog and goldendoodle! The sheepdog has had some awkward haircuts in the past, since it’s not a common breed, but she knew exactly what to do! He’s also a very nervous, recently rescued dog, but he calms down for her. I love that she doesn’t muzzle the dogs when they are groomed. Thanks Tara!

Got me an appointment same day. She squeezed me in and did an awesome job

I have heard great things about this place from a variety of people. I took my senior Australian Shepherd with very thick, black fur there to get a bath, deshed, and cut. When checking him in, I appreciated all the obvious precautions for Covid. I had my appointment booked with Hannah. The check in process seemed rushed and I wasn’t able to go in detail of how I wanted my dog to look. I said that the last time I had gotten him cut, I did about 1.5 inches all over and I liked that, but just to do whatever she thought was best during the summer and I wanted no risk of sunburn or overheating. When I came and picked him up, he was shaved almost to the skin. I had not asked for this and was so shocked I did not say anything. I’m sure it was just a miscommunication, but I do not see how shaving a double coated breed is what is best for him. I can see his skin in some areas and I’m very worried that because of his age, it will not grow back properly. They were however nice and the prices were good.

Tara has groomed " Baby" for almost 5 years & has done a fantastic job, she was highly recommend by Dr, Ferrell at central vet.

They did an amazing job on my miniature/toy poodle!!! She looked and smelled soooo good!! Thank you guys!! I would highly recommend a ruff joint. Professional and great customer service!!

As a friendly reminder, with the news of this..essential.. business opening for the 3rd time since the mandatory safer at home/stay at home orders have been issued, I'd like to remind everyone of our no trespassing signs we've had to install due to sharing a yard with the above mentioned. While this business has deleted their initial post, once we became aware of the unnecessary things said of us, we would still like to make everyone aware of why we have the signs posted. We have had SEVERAL incidents relating to people allowing their dogs in our yard to urinate on our vehicles/shed but handled this ourselves to avoid having to deal with the extremely uncooperative business owner. Also, to everyone else who utilizes this business's potty yard after normal business hours, please know this especially pertains to you as we had an incident the other day with a loose dog, and subsequent 3 people, in our front yard trying to catch him. As a family with several members who have medical issues, we cannot afford the risk due to the ongoing pandemic. Thank you in advance.

Told me she doesn't groom dogs to quit calling

Love my Freddy boy's cut. They were fantastic with him! So nice and clean in there. Nice, nice people. Freddy is so soft and he loved it there....that's what matters most to me!

Tara puts her heart into grooming. She is the best.

I have been taking my Willow here for about a year now & LOVE!!! LOVE!!! LOVE!!! this place & Tara is GREAT!!! My baby's alway look great they come home happy with no issues i couldn't be happier thank you so much

They treat your furry babies as their own.

Tara gave my Yorkie her first grooming here and she was groomed beautifully!

My Yorkie was groomed here for the first time and she did an amazing job! ????

Awesome, my girls love Tara

My Tucker looks like a million bucks after his visit !

Update: Tara called me to resolve this issue and made the appointment for my Scooter to have his hair cut today... Below are pictures of her work.. -- first one will be before the others are after..

They treat the dogs like family and do an excellent job of grooming them. And are less expensive than the nearest pet store!

Tara is wonderful with my dog. She goes the extra mile, my dog does not like getting a bath and Tara makes sure she spends the extra time to try to make her comfortable. Ain’t no large pet store groomer gonna put that much time, love, and attention to each and every pet that comes thru there door, but Tara sure does! I would drive clear across town just to take my “Diva” to have her “spa”day! If I could give her a million stars I would.

She does my little baby monthly and is GREAT!

The owner is great at what she does. My babies are always neat and clean when I go to pick them up. I will continue to go here for the foreseeable future. Her prices are about average for the area. Thanks so much!

I have taken my standard poodle to several different groomers before I was recommended to Tara... and I could not be happier with her services. She is priced great and treats Kirby like her own pup. He has never come home with any issues and I trust her completely! Thank you!

My long haired Chihuahua looked beautiful when Tara was finished with her! Tara is the best!

They are very knowledgeable and great with my dog. And you can see that it's not all about money for them it's about the dogs. We all love our animals but not everyone can afford to spend a fortune and A Ruff Joint keeps it affordable. I love Them

Tara has taken care of our fur baby for over a decade-her kindness and patience for the pups under her care really shows!
