Hot Diggity Dog Grooming Parlor

Love this place to get my dog groomed! We tried it on a whim bc all of our usual places were booked and our 10 month old puppy desperately needed a hair cut. We are so happy we did! Staff is nice, prices are fairly reasonable, and most importantly our dogs look great! We are never going elsewhere again!

My family has used this grooming parlor exclusively for three pets (a black labrador retriever who loved going there, a pug, and now a french bulldog) over the years. They are professional, friendly, flexible with appointments/​scheduling, do wonderful work and treat the dogs with special care! I highly recommend them.

I live in New York City, but have my maltipoo groomed here (my bf lives in Wallingford). Besides doing a great job on the cut, they are very attentive. They called to tell me about some unusual behavior, allowing me to pick her up and get her in the vet and on antibiotics before the vet closed that day.

I love taking my dogs here. I just drop them off in the morning and pick them up when there ready! They never hassle me about when I pick them up (my job is kinda erratic) and they are always super friendly and pleasant! They know exactly who I am and what I usually get done and who my dogs are. The dogs are always happy and clean when I come to get them and look like they have generally enjoyed their grooming and the time they have spent there. I defiantly recommend them.

Let me start off by saying that I have brought my German Shepherd there (twice) and one experience was OK the next, terrible.
My first time there, the young girl was very nice and accomidating. I told her my dog was rather large and would need alot of TLC because he is a long haired GSD. She was good with it. He came back sparkling and looked amazing. They did a great job on his cut and his teeth and nails were nicely trimmed.
The bad:
My 2^nd time going here, the lady was rather rude. I explained to her that I had to drop off my dog (because of work) at 8am and my father would go to pick him up. She explained to my father that my dog was «hard to control» (even though she never had an issue before) and that he tried to bite (HE HAS NEVER BITTEN ANYBODY EVER) when they were taking him away from a female dog (DUH). Anyways, she told my father that she would rather not have him return, because he tried to become sexual with another dog.
Sorry but I do not know what planet this lady is on, but dogs do try to become sexual with eachother. She reccommended by dog be neutred before he is «welcomed back».
I was very upset to see that their method of drying dogs was to put them in a kennel and blow the air at them using an industrial floor drier. I was very upset by how this woman was unprofessional and telling me my dog was «not welcome»
Guess my money isn’t going to be welcome into her place either.
;)

We can’t recommend this Groomer.
Our experience was with a long-​haired breed and unfortunately this groomer did not prove to be experienced with grooming long-​haired dogs. We attempted to establish a relationship with this parlor and groomer over a period of months, but it just didn’t work out.
Worse than the poor haircuts, the dogs were very nervous upon arrival, nervous to the point that we felt sorry for them. They would shake like a leaf.
I don’t know what the problem is with the quality of the grooming. Possibly inexperienced assistants performed cuts on our dogs or possibly the owner is just limited in her experience. Their mustaches would almost always be cut off and once once the dogs forehead was cut so short it was almost down to his skin.
We finally had enough and gave up on Hot Diggity Dog. We did some research and found another parlor which has show experience with long-​haired breeds. Now the dogs are happy and they look normal. Their groomings continually garner compliments even from strangers.

Great place to take your furry friend to get washed, clipped and styled. Every time I pick up my boyfriends dog from this place the little cocker spaniel looks so adorable. They even give him a cute bandana around his neck to make him look like a metro sexual dog. It is adorable.
The staff are attentive and know you on a first name basis which is nice. And as far as I know they are well priced.
