best cat groomers in chicago. I love the grooming gallery. I bring my two cats, Kekae

& Latte. A himalayan and a british short hair. They have a separate room where they groom cats! My cats come home looking so very cute! The entire staff is so friendly, they obviously love animals, you can just tell. Barb the owner has a very organized place. She also has a groomer who spealizes in cats. I recommend this place , if you want the best for your cat! My cats also came home smelling so so good with bandanas on. How adorable they look, and they seemed to love it too!

Lucy hates the bows in my hair, but boy do I smell good. I've gone to the grooming gallery a couple of times and I'm planning on going again very soon. They do a great job cleaning me up and making my hair white and fluffy again. One time they shaved off all the hair around my mouth and I looked like a french poodle, not my favorite look. I prefer a puppy cut. It was a bit of a mis-communication. my daddy said short around the mouth. they are very gentle with me, but lucy likes to rip the bows out of my hair when we get home, what a b!

They go above and beyond. What can i say, I've tried several places, with many disappointments, i think i have found my sadie's groomers. They did an amazing job, exactly what i asked for. There price are great, and our dog sadie seemed to really like them. They took us the same day i called, and that's what i like. Sadie looked adorable. They reminded me of the other place i used to take her Rogers Bark, but they are a little to far from me. This place was great, and would highly recommend anyone to go to the grooming gallery at 911 N Damen.

GREAT PRICES, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Great Company! Patient, Loving, and Tolerant of my crazy dog!. I absolutely love Barb and her staff. I have been taking my dog Sammie there for a couple of years now and they have always done a good job on him. My dog is very afraid of his grooming appointments and can be agressive with the staff, but they never even seem to bat an eye to him. They always greet him with a smile and I feel like they love him even though he can be nasty at times! I am also a fellow pet business owner here in the city of chicago and hands down, I would trust the staff at the Grooming Gallery to take care of Sam. I actually wouldn't ever consider another place!

Barb has skill!. I love The Grooming Gallery! I have taken my dog there for many years. When Barb (the owner) moved her location out of my neighborhood to 911 north Damen I considered other groomers. After the embarrassment of a few bad cuts from other groomers, I returned, vowing to never take my dog anywhere else!

I now live out of the city and have to travel even farther- but it's worth it. The Grooming Gallery is flexible so that I can travel in between rush hours.

I have a mixed breed dog, a little maltese/yorkie mix. It takes skill to groom her because there is no "breed" standard to follow, and she is jumpy and wiggly. She always looks beautiful, clean, and dry when I take her home.

The prices are within expected range, however the service is exceptional! I will continue to be a customer as long as i have pets.... which will probably be for the rest of my life.

Regarding: "This shop loses pets". This posting is most likely a former employee of mine. I let the rest of the reviews speak for my shop.

Won't trust my dogs to anyone else. Barb and her terrific staff at The Grooming Gallery have been taking care of our two dogs for over 5 years. We came to know TGG after several negative experiences at chain stores? grooming departments where we were over-charged for bad grooming (for those of us that feel pets actually can be embarrassed by bad haircuts) and poor customer service. The Grooming Gallery has excelled in making our dogs look beautiful, ensuring we, as the owners, are satisfied and showing genuine kindness to our pets. If we ever have questions regarding charges, Barb has been happy to explain and has always been fair. We have never left there less than satisfied and can tell Barb works very hard to provide a professional service she can take pride in. Even after moving to Hyde Park, we still brave Dan Ryan construction traffic to the Ukranian Village for our dogs? care. Afterwards, our mutts look and feel great and I always look forward to picking them up to see what fun seasonal bandana Barb has come up with (another nice touch). You can find less expensive groomers, but you get what you pay for. The Grooming Gallery is a reasonably priced, professional, caring place that I am glad to have seen grow from their location on North Avenue to their new facility on Damen. I won?t trust my dogs to anyone else.

above and beyond grooming. The people at the Grooming Gallery really care about the animals that come in the door. I have been taking my cat there for years. As he's gotten older, he's gotten nervous and I am hesitant to leave him at the groomer. I called Barb the owner and she said she would come in early for me and that I could stay while she groomed my cat. So today we went and I had the privilege of spending the morning at the Grooming Gallery. I was very impressed with the care and time she spent on the cat, working with him to make his grooming experience pleasant. Never once did she become frustrated or flustered by his wiggling, hissing, or swatting at her. She'd gently move him, give him a break when he needed AND did a very thorough job. I learned today that it is not easy to groom a cat (or dog) and Barb and her staff have great patience and kindness amidst a chaotic business. After hanging out there for three hours this morning I know that they run a good business and the animals are in good hands. Plus, it is hard to find a cat groomer that really cares about cats, but here they have a separate cat grooming room. Personally, I don't think they charge enough!

The BEST I have found in a long time!. Grooming Gallery was great! We just moved to the area and I was looking for a groomer close by and found the gallery. They were very nice to me and my miniature schnauzer and she got a great cut. I don't remember when she looked this good and she has been getting groomed every 6-8 weeks for 9 years. I am so thankful that there is a great place so nearby. We will definitely be going there for a long time.

The Shed-Masters. I've been bringing my golden retriever to the Grooming Gallery for five years, and I have never been disappointed. He comes home smelling great and as fluffy as a new puppy. A new service we've been using is this new de-shedding process (which is a special shampoo and brushing treatment). The big guy sheds horribly, but with the new de-shedder, we went almost three weeks without hairy tumbleweeds in our house. It was miraculous. Reasonably priced, we think, for all the work that goes into spiffing him up.
