Harlem Doggie Day Spa

Hands down the best groomers in Harlem! I recently moved to another part of Harlem and tried a different groomer but Alexis and Harlem Doggie Day Spa are worth the trek. I’ve gotten there early to pick up my dogs and have seen the staff just lovingly petting/cuddling the dogs that are being groomed. Your dogs are in great hands here!

We are SO HAPPY with Harlem Doggie Day Spa!! It was our first visit today and they were very patient and kind. Alexis really took her time with our dog and even made a brush recommendation at the end of her groom. The icing on the cake was the cute bandana that had her name on it! Such a sweet touch. I highly highly recommend them and can't wait for our next visit!

The first time I came here with my puppy it was his first time at the groomers and they said he did amazing and I was so happy on how it went. He was so excited afterwards. The second time I came here for his second grooming ever. given my puppy is only 7 months old unfortunately that first experience was just that. The groomer came out super aggressive towards me regarding my dog and his behavior even though he is just a baby. Then proceeded to bully me into my next appointment which I then later cancelled shortly there after. I wont be returning here again. I was shocked and disappointed that the staff would behave this way towards me and to my baby he came home behaving so sad and not himself I was so scared. The groomer got upset about minor things that could have been a simple\nconversation. He was not understanding at all regardless this being his second grooming visit ever. He was very combative. I wont be returning here again. If you have a young dog I would not advise going here.

I am so happy I found this place for my dog. I adopted my dog about 1.5 years ago and she’s extra sensitive to new people given her traumatic past as a breeder dog. When I first booked, I booked with the dog father (Brian) and have always booked with him since. Not only does he do an amazing grooming job, but he is patient and understanding about my dog’s anxieties. I never worry about my dog Ember when I leave her there and know she’s in the best hands with Brian and his staff!\n\nI cannot recommend the Harlem doggie day spa enough. They are the best in the business and genuinely will never take my dog anywhere else for grooming!

HDDS is a wonderful resource for dog owners here in the city. We needed to find daycare for our eight-month-old pup after being called back into working in the office. We enrolled Reese after speaking with the staff and taking a look at the facilities.\n\nWe needed someone to watch him during the day, obviously, but what we were not aware of is how important socialization would be for him. He was a well behaved dog before, if a little rambunctuous, but for him to have the chance to hang out all day long with all types of dogs and get good exercise while doing so has paid huge dividends.\n\nThe dogs play in an outdoor back area and are given balls, tug ropes, and enjoy the summer, they even have pool parties!\n\nThe staff is uniformly wonderful – kind, helpful, efficient— and they all really love dogs.\n\nOne time when we were going to board him overnight, they told us that a vaccination was expiring and he would not be able to board until we got that filled. HDDS was able to take him to a local vet and get that vaccine filled for us and then board him. So they are proactive as well.\n\nThey are also able to pick him up and transport him home on days other plans get in the way.\n\nThis is really a top-notch operation run by really good people. Reese loves them and we do too.
