Whiskers Dog Spa

After discovering Whisker’s Dog Spa about a year and a half ago, we have not been anywhere else to get Pockets groomed.
I love that the staff knows our dog whenever we call to setup an appointment and always gets so excited to take him back. There have been a few times at other places where they have absolutely butchered our Yorkie Poo’s fluffy hair. However EVERY TIME we pick him up he looks perfect, touched up with an adorable seasonal bandana print with Whiskers.
Once in a while we will check in the window before we pick our dog up to see what he is doing. He is always wagging his tail, loving the groomer or watching the other dogs extremely satisfied.
Even though you may have to wait for a call back to setup your appointment, it is well worth it! They have always been very prompt in responding to our voicemails and setup an appointment as soon as they have an opening. Just anticipate at least one week in advance, since this place has been doing extremely well…
Whisker’s is the best groomers in Charlotte.

They do not answer their phone so it is difficult to get a timely appointment. I called and left a message and at that time they were booking three days ahead. I left my message, didn’t hear from them, and called back later. Now it is a week out!

I feel lucky that I discovered Whiskers Dog Spa on Unilocal.Took my Havanese pup there yesterday, and he got the best grooming job ever. It’s a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Loved the friendly atmosphere, where all the dogs freely walk around while waiting for their grooming. They even have a window ledge where the doggies can look out the window. Clean and efficient — will definitely be coming back!

I just had to write that they also are a kennel free groomers! So that is awesome! Your pup is free to roam in there little grooming room before and after they are done. That’s a relief! But with that comes policy on not leaving the pup there long after they are done and not coming really really before your appointment time.

My pups are 7 and 5 — these are the best hair cuts they have ever had!!! You can tell they feel good :). Thank you!!!

Avoid! Simple advice here, stay away. After clear instructions on the coat length, they not only cut it way too short, but also unevenly botched the poor little guys fur.

DON’T TAKE YOUR DOODLE HERE! We used to have a really cute Goldendoodle until Whiskers Dog Spa mutilated his coat. We asked to have his puppy fur taken off, which should have left a good 2 — 2.5 inches; I even confirmed this with the groomer before we left. They ended up almost shearing him, there’s barely an inch of hair, and it’s uneven all over his body. I’m so disappointed! They even told us that Goldendoodles were their specialty… Petsmart did a better job than Whiskers Dog Spa. Disgraceful.

Unfornately I wasn’t as impressed as I was hoping for. My furbaby came back uneven and I don’t feel they listened/​read my instructions for his cut. I really wanted to love this place based on the reviews and the location to my house but I think I will keep looking for a good Cocker groomer.

Today I took my Shetland Sheepdog Jackson to be groomed. I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner to discuss their services before coming in. She was very nice and informative. I met with the groomer beforehand and she seemed to be very knowledgeable and experienced.
He was ready exactly when promised. Upon picking him up, his grooming exceeded my expectations and he looked and smelled wonderful. I could tell he was very happy, relaxed and had a great time! We will definitely be back!!!
It is so fun to see all of the happy dogs walking around in the grooming area and looking out the big picture window.

Just took my miniature schnauzer puppy to Whiskers today for her first professional haircut. Now, I know why they have 5 stars.
Truffles is a 15 week old puppy and loves to bite, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked her up. I had groomed and bathed her myself before, so I knew what kind of a hard time she would give the groomer. I asked that they not use any perfumes or powders on her because of my allergies. When I picked her up, she was sitting in the store front window looking like an angel. I was extremely pleased with the haircut and cute little bandanna she was wearing. They did as I asked and did not put any perfume on her, which I really appreciate.
I had a good first experience, but have to mention a couple of things that could be improved upon for my next visit. When we arrived to drop Truffles off for the first time, the lady helping us was making phone calls while we were standing there waiting. Then when I picked Truffles up, the same person said «he» was great, when I asked how «she» did. I’m guessing they were really busy, but the small details make a big difference. My suggestion is to be a little more attentive to the customer standing in front of you and know the sex of the dog when you make reference to him or her.
I definitely recommend Whiskers Dog Spa. The price is a little more than Petsmart, but definitely worth it.

Marley got a blueberry facial as part of the regular full groom here. Um, I’ve never even had a facial.
I visited Whiskers a few months ago when I was researching a Weekly Unilocal on dog services. I fell in love the minute I walked up to the window.
This is a cage free spa. The dogs walk around the grooming area. You can ask for a cage if you do not feel comfortable. I won’t lie… I was a little nervous about this. Marls is 6 pounds and can be a bully sometimes. When I arrived to pick him up today, he looked so happy running around and checking out all the dogs. I sat and watched him through the window for a few minutes until he saw me.
The people here are so friendly. That sentence should be in the biggest font possible, bold, fireworks shooting out of it. So, so nice.
Back to the groom… yes, it includes a blueberry facial and all kinds of fun stuff with the spa bath. Here’s the best part: for my Yorkie it only cost $ 45. You just can’t beat that. They did such a great job. Marley looks great, smells so nice and is super soft. He’s also wiped out and snoozing on the couch. Big day for the tiny guy.
I would definitely recommend Whiskers to anyone with a dog. They can get pretty busy. Plan to call several days in advance of when you’d want a grooming.

Last week my sister take our Beagle to get professional wash and Whiskers dog spa did it nice .also cage free. the menu is great with facial for dogs and more. We decide to bring our Beagle every week because she shed and my sister have allergy. highly recommend friendly staff too and Dayane is so sweet.

Always happy here!
The service is warm & friendly and appointments are easy to make. My pup (a 5 year old English Golden) always looks so handsome and feels so cuddly and soft when he comes home. But the best part is when I walk up to get him, I can see him relaxing through the window — no cages, just sniffing or laying down looking around. He seems so relaxed and happy it makes me feel great about his care while he was there!

I am the proud owner of 2 furbabies… a yorkie (Guinness) and a maltipoo (Bailey) and both need to be groomed every few months. My maltipoo is a huge baby in most things and extremely needy when it comes to riding in the car, taking baths, and going to the vet. So, the entire way to Whiskers, she clung to me. When we walked in, we were greeted by a bubbly and warm Diane-​the owner of the dog spa. She immediately took Bailey in her arms and I had an immediate sense of relief and contentment that this was going to be a wonderful experience. The dogs were running free – although not overwhelmingly – in the cage free setting and the entire shop smelled clean and fresh. All the puppies looked happy in their brightly colored scarves and even Bailey-​who is scared of everything-​seemed to be intrigued. When I picked her up just an hour and a half later, I saw my puppy in the window looking ever so pretty!!! Hands down, the best grooming job EVER! For 3 years I’ve been looking for someone with this kind of talent. I will be bringing Guinness there in just a few more weeks and look forward to being a life-​long customer!
