Dog Day Afternoon Inc

Perfect for those who need to self groom. Excellent facility with easy tub access for larger dogs. I’ve been there twice with my akita who I prefer to bathe myself given she’s not great around little dogs. They are attentive and given the quality of the baths, it’s a fair price. They only have two wash stations for self grooming, that’s the only draw back. I’ve been lucky in that both times I’ve shown up, they have been free.

I took my lab here for the first time yesterday and the people were very nice, my dog came back smelling good and fresh, and very well brushed, and was out and about not having to stay in a kennel which was nice but I had notice that they trimmed his hair so I was just checking him out and notice a spot where the shaver cut into his skin. He had a good inch and a half spot on the inside of his leg where I could tell it came from the shaver, bare skin and bloody. My poor dog I could definatly tell it hurt, he wouldn’t let me touch it. Not at all happy about that and they didn’t tell me when I picked him up that that had happened.

Nice clean establishment! Dogs are playing having a great time!
The prices comparable with other grooming shops around.
The grooming quality is excellent. They feature a hyrdosurge bathing treatment — my dog has never been so clean!
The staff are experienced and knowledgable.
My dog was actually LESS $ than I was QUOTED.

I took my dog to Dog Day Afternoon for grooming. A few days later he started licking his groin area. I inspected it and suspected mange. I began treating his inner thigh with olive oil and oil of oregano to help it. He continued licking over the next few weeks. 4 weeks later my daughter discovered a hot spot high in his groin area where he had licked himself raw. I notified Dog Day Afternoon and took him to the vet. He had an infection that had to be treated with antibiotics and steroids. This resulted in a $ 200 vet bill. The vet stated that there was no mange mites and that it was likely caused by either shaving or shampoo that had not been fully rinsed off. When I contacted Dog Day Afternoon to pay for the vet bill they refused to accept responsibility making the excuse that I waited too long to contact them and that they did not agree that the initial cause of the infection was improper grooming. It is very obvious to me and to others I have spoken to that the initial cause of the infection stemmed from his handling at Dog Day Afternoon, regardless of how long it took to discover the seriousness of the injury. My dog is 8 years old and has NEVER had any health issues. The only time he has gone to the vet is for immunizations and neutering which was many years ago. I have noticed that the other negative reviews here stem from pricing policies. Based on my experience and other reviews here, Dog Day Afternoon appears to care only for MONEY and for their clients treatment and satisfaction only secondary. Pet owners BEWARE.

This was a last minute schedule for my two dogs so I was happy to get them in. When I called they said that all they had time for was a bath. That was fine. When they were picked up we got slapped with $ 120 bill. I have an Aussie and a Corgi. Are you kidding me. The two places I take them in Marysville charge almost $ 50 less for the a bath, groom, and trim. It was a nice place and the gal was nice but this is way over priced. I will not be taking my dogs here again.

Okay so I have to preface this by saying my dogs were well groomed, the staff was polite and the place was clean. My major problem with this place is that when I called to make an appointment I told the lady on the phone that my dogs were similar in size and coat to a Shiba Inu. She said they would be about $ 35 dollars each. When I came to pick my dogs up after grooming the groomer said I owed them $ 110! I told her I was quoted around $ 70 and she said that dogs with coats like their’s are $ 55 each. I would not have taken my dog here if I had known this price earlier. I have a groomer in Lake Stevens who uses organic products that I much prefer, but I went with these groomers because I thought they were cheaper. Needless to say we will not be going back. Be sure to ask them when you take your dogs in for a quote on site! They might pull this on you too!

I took my 10month old black lab puppy here. I was a little taken back by the way they run things (dogs running around and playing) and that they didn’t ask for any of my info or my dogs info. Do not let that make you think twice! They did an awesome job on my pup! I was very impressed! He has dry skin and the conditioner treatment they did worked awesome and he had a great time playing with all the other dogs. When I got him back he was shinny, clean, and worn out! It takes a lot to get this pup tired and he slept the whole way home. I really recommend this place they are very nice and seem to know their stuff. They are also local which is always a nice plus :)

This is the best place to get your dog groomed in a 25 mile radius of Lake Stevens. How do I know this… Well I have tried them all, or at least most of them. I have been to Granite Falls, Monroe, Snohomish, Everett and Mill Creek. The thing that makes this place unique, is that the dogs are not caged for long amounts of time. The dogs have a play area and can enjoy being at the groomer rather than waiting in a cage and then waiting in a cage again. The groomers do a better than remarkable job and take their time. We pretty much drop our two dogs off early on and then pick them up later. I have shown up early and watched them at work and it is nice to see how nice and easy going the staff is. We love that they are always busy and that there are a lot of other pets around for our dogs to play with. We have small dogs to and they do better here than they do at a dog park. Thank you Dog Day for providing a great place to bring our dogs. Keep up the good work.

We have 2 yorkshire terriers and 1 of them gets horrible tangles in his hair and is usually terrified of the groomers. These groomers are so gentle with him that he forgets how much he hates it. Every other groomers we have gone to can never get his haircut right because he fights them so much, but here, he does so great and isnt afraid. They run about 5 or so more dollars than the average groomer, but I think that is so worth it for how our dogs are treated there. I like that they aren’t caged up and get to play with the other dogs (they only let well tempermented dogs play together) while they wait to get groomed. They always seem so happy when we come and get them, not worn out from being terrified all day like other groomers.

Chaotic! The policy of Dog Day Afternoon is the dogs are cage free while grooming. I did not think that meant running around, playing, and rough housing with each other when another dog is up on the grooming table being groomed! When I dropped my dog off, there were five other dogs, running around, barking, and a big dog was up on the grooming table. The dogs were all running under the groomer’s feet. The gal didn’t ask for any of my dog’s shot records – something I found very surprising as my dog was obviously going to be playing with many other dogs. The dogs at the day care mingle with the dogs being groomed – no regard to size, breed, or temperament. Even at the dog parks, there are different area for the small dogs! The grooming itself was over priced compared to other groomers. I would avoid this place and find another groomer in the area.
