Clip N Cuddle

This is a poorly-​run business. Messages are not returned for days, then she tells you to bring your dog in early morning (10 am) but does not finish dog’s grooming until closing time,
She really needs to change scheduling practices: NO ONE wants to have their dog stuck in a cage for an entire day.

I have had my cockatoo groomed at Clip and Cuddle for the past five years. Not only does Gayle and her staff do a beautiful job grooming my dog, but i would be hard pressed to find someone who loves animals as much as Gayle. She treats your dog as she would treat her own. i have had my dog groomed elsewhere and he never looks as beautiful as he does after he visits Clip and Cuddle. It is a special place and other friends of mine have had a very positive experience as well. I give high marks to Clip and Cuddle! We are lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood.

I wanted to update this review, because Clip ‘n Cuddle has now moved to a BRAND NEW space a few doors down at 217 Harrison Ave. Cute and quirky Dog & Cat décor fills the front lobby. In my opinion, Gayle and her staff are still as good as it gets when it comes to grooming. My shih tzu does not like to get groomed, and Gayle is the only groomer I have found who will take the patience to give him that perfect cut! In fact, Gayle even goes so far as to say «she likes the difficult dogs». The NEW Clip ‘n Cuddle is definitely a great addition to the many new businesses opening up in Harrison!

Clip and Cuddle has groomed my Westie so when she is done she looks like she is ready for a show. All the animals are treated very well and my dog looks forward to homemade treats at the end. There is something to be said about a small business that is run and owned by a wonderful woman. A while ago I went to a franchise for pet grooming and was truly disappointed.

I am very disappointed. We made a much-​needed appointment for both of our Shiba Inus to get groomed today. I worked overnight last night, getting home around 8:30 this morning and hubby was given an appointment for 10 am this morning. Our dogs really need a good scrubbing so even though I am very tired, I decided not to sleep when I got home so we could just have the dogs be taken care of.
I decided to try Clip n Cuddle, despite the mixed reviews, mainly because a lot people said that the owner was an obvious animal lover and they take very good care of peoples’ pets. When we got there, it seemed kind of small but I put that in the back of my mind, remembering what past satisfied clients have said.
This woman comes out and questions us as to why we chose this place since we are from Yonkers and there are supposed to be a lot of groomers in Yonkers. I thought that was a bit odd. She then asked me for my name, cell number and our dog’s names and told us at that time that the whole process would take about 1 ½ hours. We were fine with the wait and decided to get brunch in the meantime. She did not ask for any other information.
Forty minutes later, while we were sitting at brunch, the woman called me, sounding frustrated, and said that when my husband made the appointment the day before, he was told to have their rabies information when we brought them in. I was a little annoyed because we were never asked for that information when we first brought the dogs in and the dogs were already there for over a half hour. Why did it take that long to figure out that they were missing information?
Nevertheless, I explained to her that the rabies certificate numbers were listed on their tags. We bought each dog customized dog tags that include their names, license numbers and rabies numbers. She said that was fine and hung up the phone with me. A half hour after that, she calls me back and says the numbers aren’t good enough and she won’t be able to groom our dogs.
What I don’t understand is WHY it took an hour and a half to tell us she couldn’t groom them when we could have been told within the first 10 minutes of our arrival?
The place isn’t that big but for some reason they are completely unorganized. It sucks, even more, because we drove a half hour to get there, based on the good reviews. Never again.

My dogs love Gayle and I receive compliments after each grooming.
I admit the front of the store is cluttered and there are a lot of cats but only because Gayle is an animal lover, and involved with animal rescue. The area where the grooming is done looks fine, clean and organized. My two gals always look great and smell wonderful after each visit.

I was not happy with this place at all. The woman was sweet but I felt like I was walking into an old lady’s cluttered home and she has way too many pets which makes it cluttered.
The place gave me this dirty feel when I walked in… They use cages as most places do and she told me to bring my pup over at 10:30 am and then I was supposed to pick her up around 2ish but when I came by she told me that she wouldn’t be ready for a little while and a little while turned into me picking her up at after 6pm. I was not a happy camper to have left my 11month old puppy for so long.
Worst part is that after all this time there she didn’t even do a good job… one of her ears was cut shorter than the other and her feet weren’t even trimmed. That grooming was $ 65 and it was not worth it at all!
