Our family gives Pups & Tubs:

Happy Turkey Day every1. Yoshi & Zoe’s ready for all the selfies & LuVn all groomed up #TYRaymond #UrTheBest #PuPsNTubs

Raymond is amazing. He is a one man show and truly loves dogs. My dog loves to go mainly because he gets to play with Raymond’s dog Edie. My dog always smells amazing and his nails are perfect. His cut is always just what I wanted and Raymond is great about working with your schedule. I love Pups and tubs and so does Donnie!

Raymond is the best and I can’t express how grateful I am that I found him! I don’t write many reviews but felt compelled to do so because I’m so grateful to have finally found someone who knows how to groom properly. Apollo didn’t always do well with groomers but he always seems so content with Raymond… and of course he looks and smells so awesome afterwards!
I drive all the way from Sandy Springs and would drive another 10 miles if I had to — he’s that good! Thanks Raymond, you’re the best!

New to Atlanta and saw great reviews for this place on Unilocal.I ran through what I wanted when I dropped them off, or at least tried too. Raymond likes to talk and doesn’t do well with listening. Wasn’t too happy when I picked them up. He cut my westie’s coat extremely short (I said short but not that short and not his entire coat) and he didn’t cut my jack russell’s coat at all. It’s been only two weeks and my westie’s bangs are already in his eyes.
Raymond’s a quirky guy — think he needs to talk less and work on his listening skills so he can learn his client’s expectations.

Raymond, the owner of Pups and Tubs, must be some celebrity dog whisperer or something, because this dude transformed our homeless looking dog into some sort of bourgeoisie Animal Planet fashionista. His hands — they’re gifted.
My girlfriend found Pups and Tubs through Unilocal,and it’s hard not to notice an establishment with thirteen reviews and five stars. So of course we had to try (especially since it’s located in Midtown). And once she setup the meeting, it was my responsibility to deliver and retrieve (ha ha ha) our pup from Raymond.
Raymond’s establishment is located on Monroe in a very short block of businesses. (Google or Apple maps will take you to the back of the building, which is incorrect.) To find Pups and Tubs, look for some stuffed animal dogs on top of a table outside of his doors.
Once you enter, step over the doggy barrier, provide the appropriate contact information to Raymond, drop off your pup, and return when he calls. For us, it took about four to five hours.
When I picked up our dog Cranberry, I paid via Square. It allowed me to provide a tip, too. He also did an amazing job grooming her, and now Cranberry gets even more compliments on our daily walk through Piedmont Park.
The dog grooming package includes the following:
–Hair cut.
–Nail trim.
–Anal gland expression.
–Balm on paws.
–Bath
–Brushing of the teeth ($ 10 extra.)
We also setup the appointment via e-​mail, and he always responded within 24 hours.
Support a local business, and consider taking your pup to Raymond. Well, only if you want your dog to look fly…

Raymond is amazing! Luna looked so good and he went over things to do to keep her cut looking good. Luna is 6 months old and was a little scared when I dropped her off and when I came back she was totally relaxed and hanging out on the couch as if she was totally at home. I will definitely be back and tell everyone about Raymond

This is my first visit to this place. Raymond is great!, he was listening for what I want for my Red dog. She look adorable.

Raymond is awesome. I am so glad that I found him. I recently moved into the city and was eager to find a groomer for my pup. He did an amazing job and Brody looks better than he has in awhile. He explained all that he was going to do. I will definitely continue to bring my lil man back here!

I am very happy with Luma’s, my golden retriever, hair cut. Raymond did an excellent job. The last cut we had on her ended up in a full-​body shave leaving a fluffy squirrel tail (I won’t name the place that did that to her… but it’s a midtown joint that no longer has a good groomer). Raymond gave me tips for when we bathe her and how to treat her coat between grooms. That was a first for me.
Raymond’s place is great, too. He has an open space for the dogs to relax between and after their cuts. Luma was very happy being in the open space rather than in a crate.
We will definitely be going back to him. Very pleased.

Raymond is a wonderful groomer and caring dog owner. He does a fabulous job with my skittish and shy little Yorkie. I would not go anywhere else.

Raymond is the best!
Here’s the thing about having to find a groomer… it sucks! You have your dear little pooch child whom you love and cherish, but at some point they become smelly and/​or also overly hairy and need a good bathing and grooming, but who do you take your precious cargo to?
My 100% recommendation would be to take them to Raymond. He is a kind, caring individual who truly loves what he does and is an artist. He is knowledgable in the breeds and different cuts and respectful of your time. He is always kind enough to work around my crazy schedule too.
The pups that visit Raymond truly get first class treatment as he allows them to be cage free and cuddle up on the couch while they wait for their parents to retrieve them from their day of beauty.
I can’t say enough about how you should definitely check him out. You won’t be sorry and your canine bestie will, once again, be gorgeous and smell delish!

Raymond is BY FAR the best groomer for mini schnauzers in Atlanta! I’m sure he is fantastic with all dogs but it’s tough to find someone who can handle a schnauzer’s grooming standards. He is so authentically sweet with the dogs in his shop. That same caring nature carries over to the way he works with his clients. He is especially tentative to the needs of the animals and his grooming is the best I’ve seen. Thank you so much, Raymond!

My two Westies were some of Ray’s very first clients. He does a great job cutting them. I’ve had Westies for a very long time, and I’m very particular about their haircuts. Ray is professional and really kind to them. Most importantly, they look really great when he is done. We highly recommend Ray.

Raymond is such an awesome groomer! Laney, my mini-​schnauzer, absolutely loves Raymond. She has been going to him since she was a puppy! He does a fantastic Schnauzer cut! I have to agree with one of the other reviews, Raymond is just like the Dog Wisperer!

Raymond is great! Teddy, my cocker spaniel mix got his first bath there today. He let me bring in my dog without much notice and made him feel right at home. I loved how he let the pups who were well behaved run around together. Also, a fun tip is that he has parking in the back and another access door if you want to stay off the busy street with your kid… I mean pup ;)

Raymond is an excellent groomer! He was so gentle with our little Maltese. We’ll definitely be going back to Pups amd Tubs.

Raymond is wonderful. He took amazing care of my 11year old Labrador retriever. He is like a dog whisperer. Excellent work, amazing customer service, timely and efficient. Nothing more I could ask for! And my dog was so happy there.

Raymond always does an excellent job! He is great and patient with my dog, who hates being groomed. I would absolutely recommend him!

Was walking by and saw Raymond’s intro offer. My 14 mo old Cavalier was due for a haircut so I tried Raymond. What a pleasure. My doggie looked perfectly groomed — but more importantly, Raymond really understands dogs and treats your pet with lots of love and caring. My dog was curled up on his couch and I know he would have happily stayed with Raymond all day. He is the dog whisperer groomer!

I will only take my sweet Vivienne to Raymond. She has been with him for five years, except for a 9 month period when Raymond was setting up his new shop. I searched for him and enthusiastically returned to him. He knows exactly how to communicate with all dogs, and his grooming is impeccable. If you want to see some of his work, stop by the shop and see some of the photos he has posted in the window. Thank you Raymond! You’re the best.
