Have used Dog Wash repeatedly over past few years for grooming as well as do-it-yourself bathing. Have always had great experiences. Most places I tried previously would keep my dogs all day, crated, and groom when they could. Dog Wash grooms upon arrival. I stay to console my 2 Bichon dogs as they are scaredy "cats" when it comes to grooming. The groomers don't mind at all and work very well with both dogs. The results have always been good. I would highly recommend The Dog Wash in Ellicott City, MD ...read more

I have taken my dog to Dog Wash for grooming for awhile. However, the past few times, I noticed cuts on my dog's leg and underarm area. Mind you, my dog is extremely calm and friendly. The first time, the groomer actually acknowledged and apologized for the cuts. The second time and especially the last time, she simply said she did not noticed and that my dog might had scratched himself. These cuts obviously resulted from the clippers; they were deep and wide. I was so surprised and sad that my dog had to go through this over and over again. I've given them 3 tries already. I will never go back to this place again. ...read more

I found the Dog Wash when I was looking for a place to purchase high end dog food. I have a precious 4 year old wirehaired doxie and a 9 year old Scottie. They carry a pretty wide variety of natural, healthy high end dog food that is hard to find. They also have great treats. I feed my dogs,"Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul' food (and the price is pretty good too)and "Wellness" treats. I know this is a matter of personal research and choice (what we feed our dogs) and my dogs love the food and are thriving on it. The staff is very helpful, personable and knowledgeable about the different brands of food they offer.\t\n\t\nThe staff is very helpful and friendly and genuinely care about the animals and people they serve. You can also 'do it yourself' dog wash which features a high tub and long moveable shower head, and they offer full grooming services. You can watch the washing and grooming going on while you're browsing and purchasing food, treats, etc. \t\n\t\nI haven't had my dogs groomed there. I've been washing and "stripping" my wire haired doxie myself since she was a pup and my Scottie (who we adopted when she was 7) has been going to the same groomer (although, she does receive her share of baths in between visits!)since before she joined our family. If I needed a groomer and lived a bit closer, i would take my dogs there to be groomed though!\t\n\t\nI would def. recommend The Dog Wash for your pets nutritional needs, b/c they offer very high quality, human grade, some organic, and special diet food esp. since the outbreak in tainted pet food. My dogs have been on this food for quite some time before that, but it makes me feel better knowing that these foods available for our beloved friends. ...read more

There are a number of government and private organizations that focus on the care of animals in pet stores. Just as people would treat human beings, animals in pet stores should be treated ethically and with care. Some pet stores can do this by maintaining a code of ethics on the treatment of the... ...read more
