Ahead of the Pack

Love Ahead of the Pack. We took our long hair dog, Bailey, there for years. He hated getting groomed but did great here. The owner treats the dogs like they are her own. We took Bailey in for one last groom towards the end so he would be comfortable. She cried. She knew it was going to be the last time she would see him. I’m crying typing this. She really cares and I feel good about leaving my family member with her. We are bringing Zoey to her today. I am sure she will come out smelling so fresh and so clean.

I brought my goldendoodle here to be groomed my dogs fur had never been cut she had about four or five inches of fur I was very specific about how much length I wanted cut off my dogs fur I showed her with my fingers said only an inch she confirmed with me that only an inch was to be cut off when I picked her up three hours later the woman had cut off almost all of my dogs fur it looks like she pretty much shaved all my dogs beautiful fur off I told her I wasn’t happy with what she did and she didn’t seem to care at all all she said was «sorry» I was clearly upset that she did whatever she wanted and then she still made me pay the $ 65 for completely the opposite of what I asked for and then told me she really should have charged me $ 75 dollars I would not recommend this groomer to anyone I’ve never had a worse grooming experience DO NOT GO HERE if I didn’t have to give at least one star rating I would give zero

I have been taking my dogs here for grooming a little over a year. My dogs both have short fur and very minimal grooming needs and my pups always leave smelling clean and fresh. One of my dogs is very temperamental about being handled for a nail trim but the staff has NEVER had an issue. My other dog is a very shy and anxious guy so I am always apprehensive about bringing him somewhere new. From the beginning, Karen (owner) has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure my guy feels comfortable at all times, including allowing him to hang out under her desk while she does paperwork.
I can honestly say this is one of the best local businesses I have ever dealt with and by far has the friendliest staff overall. They all know myself and my pups by name, the prices are more than reasonable and I always receive a call back within a reasonable amount of time any time I have had to leave a message.
I have also taken two of my foster dogs here to be groomed and can say that regardless of the size or fur texture of the dog, Karen and her staff always do an impeccable job and assure that the dogs are as happy as possible while waiting to be groomed or picked up.
I am a fan of checks, myself, but I do understand why some people would prefer paying with a credit card. But this would never stop me from visiting Ahead Of The Pack because of the exceptional service I always receive.
Keep up the great work (:

Wonderful Karen is amazing. And I’ll never take my dog to another place ever again. my pitbull was so well behaved many thanks to her

So worth the drive down to Warwick neck to visit this lovely puppy parlor.
My anxious aussie shepherd has gone here twice and come out looking beautifully bathed, trimmed and groomed. No cuts or nicks anywhere.
The groomer here takes her time and truly loves her poochie pals. They are a bustle of business here so I most often get the answering machine when I call, but they are fantastic about calling back asap.
The other plus? I can usually get in the same… or next day if I’m flexible with my availability.
Not super cheap, but not super expensive. Around $ 50 for the «works»… bath, cut and groom.
Only downside? CASH OR CHECK ONLY. Mildly inconvenient.
Reiki treatments are an added bonus. Great time for the canine… and she comes out looking purdy.

Came here for the 1^st time today. My dog only needed a nail trimming and we were in-​and-​out within a few minutes. The women who greeted us was very friendly, and the facility is adorable. We would have given 5 stars if they took credit cards.
Thank you for your services. –Love my fur baby, Jax.

I take my dog here to get her nails clipped. It’s only $ 10 and they’re really quick. They are all really nice and take good care of the dogs. Make sure you bring cash because they don’t take debit or credit cards.

Great lady with a real love for dogs! Place is clean and safe, affordable AND they do a good job. She was happy when she came home prettied up. I was happy with the $ 40 head to toe wash and cut/​nails/​ears. Id give her 5 stars if the parking was better and they took CCards such is life :)
