Readers Choice: Best Pet Groomer In Town

We're asking you where your favorite place is to bring your pets

Posted by Kim Tran (Editor), March 2, 2012 at 08:41 pm

Our Best of Patch contest continues this week with pet groomers. Patch wants to know where's the best place to go get your furry friend washed, shampooed, styled and all other kinds of pampering.

Here are some of our favorite places, but if we're leaving one off of the list, please let us know in the comments and we'll add it:

Voting in the poll below is open until 9 a.m. Friday. Ties will be broken by whichever business has the most positive comments in the section below. We will announce the winner at noon Friday.

So tell us what your favorite place is to shop for your pets. And don't forget to tell us in the comments below why.

Bihari does a wonderful job! I had searched before I found Bihari and was never satisfied, they were okay but not great. When I took them to Bihari it was different, the atmosphere, the people and how the dogs reacted. I trust them with my dogs and they have never let me down, they always come out looking and acting great!

Here's one more to add......"Best Friends" in Chestnut Ridge. They are very friendly, professional, clean, reasonably priced and do a great job! Most of all, my dog loves all the groomers there. She comes home (with her report card filled in) looking beautiful! I have recommended them to many friends.

Bihari....great job, great staff! My dog always needed to be sedated, but not at Bihari. They took their time and were apparently very kind since I never had to sedate him again. SO friendly!

How about Fancy Tails in West Nyack? I brought my little dog there and she came out a beauty and was as happy when she left as when she arrived.

I love the self-service pet wash at Petco. It is great when you don't want to get fur all over your tub.

We take our dogs to Pet Palace in New City. They have 2 men groomers who not only do a great job but they really love dogs. My dogs race to go in the store when we get there & come out wagging their tails when they are done. Quite a difference compared to when they would go elsewhere & leave with their tails between their legs.

I have been with Critters since I moved to Rockland 13 years ago and was thrilled when the owner went with mobile service. It was important to me to have a groomer that is professionally trained and truly cares about her clients, dog and human. I have long-haired dogs and they always come off the truck with beautiful shiny, fresh-smelling coats. On holidays they come in with festive neckerchiefs and my kids love that. I stay with Critters because they are the best!

I bring my Maltese to Siggy at Fancy Tails in West Nyack. He comes out of there looking beautiful. I tried a van once (Not Critters) and he came back all Chopped up and stunk! She does a beautiful job. You can tell she knows what she is doing.

USA Dog Shop in the Palisades Mall should be on the list and gets my vote...one stop shopping for all your needs...grooming, training, day care, supplies...and they promote pet adoptions NOT the sale of animals from puppy mills like some of the others on the list!
