Sniffy’s Dog Salon

I have two Schnauzers that are getting up in age and hated groomers. Mainly because at most places the dogs are caged before and after grooming and there are many dogs on site waiting to be groomed or for pick up. At Sniffy’s there is no stress of cages, just a large, safe area to walk around and a huge bowl of water to drink. Sniffy’s only books up to four dogs a day on a two in the morning and two in the afternoon schedule. The place is very clean and grooming is careful and EXCELLENT. When I pick up the «babies» from being groomed they are not stressed but calm and happy. I trust Sniffy’s…it’s first class!

I have a difficult Pomeranian. I have had trouble finding a groomer I like since I have had the little guy. When I picked my pup up I was very surprised and excited. He did such a good job! Most places don’t shape the coat very well or not at all, but not here! My pup looked amazing!

New to the area will continue to bring my dog to this groomer. I have only brought one of my three here so far but was very happy and will be back. I cannot remember the young mans name as I have just not had a chance to post my review. He was very very nice, and patient with my Maltese. She is very shy and uncooperative with grooming. He did a fantastic job.

I am not one for taking my little angel to a stranger for grooming. Let’s say I am a little protective :-)
In a pinch I needed to find a local groomer that I could trust, and Sniffy’s on South Hill was my sister’s top recommendation.
I easily found the business because it is the bottom floor of Big Daddy’s Doggie Daycare and wash (3704 9^th Street SW, puyallup)…
My shih-​pom warmed right up to Taylor, and he was forthcoming with questions about what I wanted for Shortbread. When I picked her up, she looked perfect! I was also very happy with a no-​cage drying rule (so my baby could play!).
The location is killer (just off hwy 512, before Tacoma Boys), the prices reflected the service my baby got (amazing!) and the facility is clean and trustable :-)
Definitely returning…

Unfortunately, I am no longer recommending Sniffy’s Dog Salon. The quality of service is highly inconsistent here. I used to be truly impressed with the grooming services, but the last two visits were not good. On one occasion, it appeared my dog had just been quickly bathed and nothing else. She had obviously not received everything she was supposed to. On another occasion, while trimming her nails, my dog sustained a cut into the pad of her foot. She also had a couple nails which were cut way to short. The price is average to a tad higher then other groomers in the area. The staff are friendly enough. TIP: If you are not carrying your dog into Sniffy’s I strongly suggest keeping your dog on a leash, as the location borders a street with heavy traffic.

Sniffys is great! I’ve always been able to get right in and get great service. My Jack Russell and Golden Retriever enjoy their spa days! :-)

Taylor at Sniffys did a wonderful job. MY chijuajua sheds A LOT and my previous groomer would bath her well but she would still have hair flying off everywhere. Taylor took the time to really de-​shed her and not a loose hair in sight! Any one who lessens the burden of cleaning dog hair at home is awesome in my book! And definitely reasonably priced!

Nichole groomed my powder puff Chinese Crested, and did a wonderful job. Thanks Nichole.

I don’t know how they got a five star. After having my female Westie kenneled for 6 hours the guy calls me and tells me he didn’t know how to groom a Westie and he EVEN watched a video on how to groom a Westie but just «didn’t get it» he apologized profusely for cutting the tip of my Westies tail. (Yes it was bleeding.) yet they have my Male Westie Mr Poppy that Nichole (who is no longer there) groomed in their advertisement. Which I wish they would remove!!! As I don’t want myself or pets affiliated with them. I wouldn’t even give them 1 Star if possible

Sniffy’s does such a great job with my pug. My pug hates to be groomed and Taylor treats him so wonderful. We will definitely be using sniffy’s for our future grooming needs.

My Frenchie loves Sniffy’s. Taylor is always friendly and polite to me and very loving to our little pooch. She gets her nails trimmed while she is at daycare upstairs. Taylor picks her up and delivers her back to daycare, now that is what I call door-​to-​door service. Today she had a bubble bath and a nail trim — she looks great! Thanks Sniffy’s

I’ve been going to Sniffy’s for about a year now. They do great work with pomeranians, which can be difficult to find. Plus, I really feel like they listen to what I ask when cutting his hair. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a honest and nice dog groomer. You can’t go wrong!

My senior canine, Charlie, has received wonderful care at Sniffy’s Dog Salon. The facility is bright, cheerful and most importantly, clean. Taylor, the owner, and his groomers do everything they can to assure satisfaction. Taylor pointed out to me a problem with Charlie’s ears that I might not have noticed. Because of him, I sought the veterinary care Charlie needed and today, he’s doing well for a senior dog who is deaf and almost blind. I highly recommend Sniffy’s. It’s located on the lower level of Big Daddy’s Doggie Day Care in Puyallup — another wonderful option for your canine pets.

Great! I just found my new favorite dog groomer!
I was in a last minute pinch when I gave Sniffy’s a call. My usual groomer cancelled on me, and I needed to get my babies squeaky clean in time for the three day weekend. I called Sniffy’s and they were able to squeeze me in. Dominique (the groomer) had left for the day, but she came back to the salon just for me! That’s good service!
When I arrived, I explained what I wanted to the groomer. My dogs, (Mini Poodle and Bichon Frise), had some deep tangles in their fur, and she was patient while I listed off my requests. Two hours later, I came to pick them up and was pleasantly surprised with how good they looked!
Despite the matts, she was able to cut their hair according to my standards. They both looked and smelled clean and polished. No complaints here! She really knew what she was doing.
Reasonably priced too ($ 50). I will definitely return. They are downstairs from Big Daddy’s Doggy Daycare in a bright yellow building! Stop on by!
