Let’s Pet

Importantly, Michelle is the owner and sole staffer of Let’s Pet, so you don’t have to worry about who might be grooming your pet — it will be Michelle. We’ve run the gamut of groomers in central Brooklyn, mostly because we never know who’s going to be tending to our two dogs, and therefore we’ve had to deal with arbitrary groomers’ bedside manners, which are completely unknown and unpredictable. So at other places, we’ve come away with our dogs unfinished, and still paying for their grooming, or with complaints about their behavior, which, I’m certain, has less to do with our dogs and more to do with the unspecified/​uninterested groomer.
Michelle provides consistency, care, and diligence. She doesn’t mess around; she’ll tell you exactly what needs to be done, and she’ll do it. She’ll also tell you what you should be doing to care for your pet, which customers don’t often want to hear, and she’ll «weed out» the pain-​in-​the-​ass customers. More power to her. Her prices are reasonable as well, compared to the other groomers in central Brooklyn. She keeps great records, so you don’t have to re-​explain what needs to be done, but she’s also (relatively) open to suggestions. My dogs don’t like going to Let’s Pet, but tell me of a dog that actually likes going to the groomer? However, Michelle makes their experience as trauma-​free as possible, and she genuinely likes them and cares for them while they’re with her.
I see that a new groomer is opening up dangerously, conveniently close to me, on Atlantic Ave. But I’ve already resisted PetSmart, and so I shall also resist this new «boutique» in order to continue my satisfactory relationship with Michelle at Let’s Pet.

We love taking our dog here — she’s quite shy but she really enjoys her time with Michelle at Let’s Pet. Before she walks in she gets excited and when we come pick her up she’s excited, as well. She even lets Michelle hold her for a while, which is not something she lets most people do. Our dog also looks fantastic after each appointment! We can’t recommend Let’s Pet enough. Really happy to have them in our neighborhood!

i’ve been taking my sometimes grumpy toy poodle, jack, to michelle at let’s pet for years. she’s great — does a wonderful job and is very easy to work with. she’s a very nice woman and a true animal lover, which i believe is the best formula for someone in this business.

I too have been using Michelle’s services for a number of years. I bring in my dirty, messy Shihtzu and a few hours later he comes out all shiny and happy. If you are expecting a chic waiting lounge and high-​pitched adoration for your pet then this is not the place for you; Michelle doesn’t have a fake bone in her body, so she tells it how she sees it (I guess that what some of the previous reviewers refer to as «gruff.») And, yes, she does smoke, but only outside, never inside her shop; I am an ex-​smoker sensitive to smoke smells and I can tell you that my pooch comes home smelling only of shampoo. Michelle is a true animal lover who treats each one of her clients with respect and provides a great quality grooming service. Highly recommended.
