Rainbow Doggie Daycare

Amazing!
Our dog Scully is so happy after her grooming session with Tommy and Monica, as are we. She’s a rescue pup and we’re lucky that she’s very social. All the same, Rainbow was very sensitive to her needs and comfort levels.
The grooming is customized, based on what they believe would be best for the dog after meeting them, as well as what you want for your dog. They washed and conditioned her, cleaned her teeth, cut her nails, cleaned out her anal glands, gave her a shave down and «show dog cut» which evened out her fur afterwards– all for a great price. She’s a brand new doggie! We will definitely be back.
Scully is a jack russel beagle corgi mix from Sean Casey Animal Shelter, about 4 years old.

I have used Rainbow daycare for 2 years now. My dog loves going everyday. My friends often walk by and see my dog there enjoying the window view – she also plays in the back in the larger room. What I like is she comes home tired and ready to call it a night!!! I have boarded her their many times and again she is happy to see me when I pick her up but also gives kisses good bye to Tommy and Monica, so not pulling to get away.
I love the fact they have helped me in a jam – keeping Bolt overnight in an emergency, which is great. When they have been on vacation and I take her somewhere else she is not happy to go in as she does at Rainbow and her happiness and contentment is what matters most to me.
I truly recommended Rainbow!

My dog and I just had the best grooming service ! Not only did Boomer come out looking awesome he smelled great too! This is the first time using Rainbow, sad to say, as we live right in the neighborhood! The pricing is comparable to other groomers EXCEPT they include all the extras. nails, furminator, etc. Oh, and he got a grand rainbow bandana! Very professional, and great customer service! They took the time to ask questions and explain their grooming and bathing policies and procedures. We will be back and regular customers ! Be sure to bring cash, no credit cards accepted.

Our 8lb yorkie Fidgit, thinks he’s a tough guy, but when we have left him with other services it has been a negative experience. No fault on their part, it’s just who our little guy is, he gets massive separation anxiety. Tommy and his staff have a very positive approach to animal care and the proof for us is in how Fidgit comes back to us. He is always better behaved, his appetite is great and there is no resulting drama or the after effects of stress from being left alone. We don’t have to feel guilty anymore. Truly a high recommend.

Just started working in the neighborhood while walking around I saw Rainbow Doggie Daycare that also groomed cats. I have 2 rescue cats who needed to be bathed. I walked in and met Monica and Tommy sparked up a conversation about cats. I was amazed about the way Monica spoke about cats. I made an appointment immediately. This was the 1^st time I left my babies alone. Monica was terrific she assured me they would be well care for. It took about six hours but it was well worth it. They smelled so good their nails clipped and fur trimmed, I wanted to eat them up. I would recommend any cat lovers who are in need of having their cats groomed Go there! I was even given a discount on my 2^nd cat. The price was reasonable and the service worth every penny. Thumbs up to Monica and Tommy keep up the passion for caring for animals.

Overall a decent place to board your dog. The location is great because it’s right down the street from me, and the dogs have prospect park to run around in just a block away. If the space were larger and cleaner, I’d give it a better rating. Also everything is cash only, which can be inconvenient for those of us who are used to using cards.
When I picked up my dog, they misplaced his harness and replaced it with a new one that looked exactly like the old one, which I appreciated.

My wife an I scheduled an overnight for our dog. We called the day before to confirm our reservation and no one answered (after calling multiple times that day). Since we live near by, we decided to walk past the store to see ‘what’s up’ and if we could speak with someone. To our surprise, the shop was closed (gates down and locked) w/​a handwritten sign saying they were not open for two days!
Here’s the really bad news — THEY WERE CLOSED BUT THERE WERE DOGS INSIDE THE STORE. How did we know that? We knocked on the gate and heard dogs barking.
Interestingly, as we walked away the owner pulled up to store (don’t know if we triggered an alarm, or he was just nearby and checking despite being closed). We told him what happened and he lost our business, but the guy didn’t seem to care too much.
Here’s our theory on what happens at this place: they take the dogs in the a.m. and close up shop in the middle of the day to go about personal business, then return at pick-​up time and open up the shop, so it appears they are open all day.
This means the dogs are unattended and in cages all day, for days at a time. NOT GOOD PRACTICE AND NOT WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
This is a shame because they actually do decent grooming. Shady business if you ask me… just be aware of this…

I took my dog here for a grooming a couple months ago. The owner and groomer were very friendly, and I liked that the grooming was «full service» and that my dog came home with a nice bandana.
However, the haircut was terrible. I had asked for a trim, and they shaved my dog! When I asked the groomer what happened, she seemed to have not understood what a «trim» is (language barrier?). Her interpretation of «just a trim– not too short» was «not completely shaved” — she only left less than a quarter-​inch of fur on most parts of my normally very fluffy dog.
To make the matters worse, she shaved the top of my dog’s head but left his face & ears almost untouched. It was hard not to laugh at my poor pup when you saw him. He was also completely shaved between his toes (maybe this is standard but it sure looks weird), and his cute little tail looked like a string bean. I didn’t make a big fuss about it, but I definitely wouldn’t go back.
It’s a shame because the place seems like a nice establishment.

At Rainbow Doggie DayCare, my rescue terrier, Jake, has gotten the attention and social time with others that he seems to really need! Tommy (owner) is laid back and seems to totally get what it takes to handle all sorts of pups, big and small, and he genuinely has helped us find a way to bring our lil Jake some much needed behavior ‘adjustments’ without stress or negative energies… fantastic!
Shout out to Monica, who is a Doggie Spa magician there at Rainbow. She has trimmed, washed, brushed and otherwise kindly spiffed up lil scruffy Jake twice already.
ONLY thing: it would be awesome to have some live feed now and again with a Day Care Camera so I can see Jake and others hangin in their Brooklyn home away from home…
Rainbow is a great deal too; pricing doesnt slay you and it’s WELL WORTH the time your pet gets to hang out.

I took my Tibetan Terrier, Nate, to Monica and Tommy yesterday. Nate has had a problem with scratching for weeks. They took great care of the boy — full haircut and the works. Nate can be stubborn and fidgety when he decides not to cooperate, but Monica took her time with my buddy. Nate’s hair looks great and he hasn’t scratched yet. I highly recommend them.

Nice little place just below Prospect Pk was able to take my suffering dog in on a hot day for a trim and some much needed a/​c. We don’t have it at home.
The groomer was great and very efficient with my gal. When I asked for her ears to get cut shorter, she was very accommodating. I don’t know about the daycare b/​c when I came to pick up my dog she was in a kennel. I wasn’t horrified though. At least she was cool.
Anyway for daycare I’d still go to Dog Abby any day over this place, but in a pinch on a hot hot day I would probably try this place again.

Love Rainbow Doggie Daycare and whole-​heartedly recommend it to anyone! The daycare is always spic and span clean. The dogs always seem to be happy. Tom and Monica are wonderful and were GREAT with Max, my scared 2 year old Yorkie mix. I was very comfortable leaving him there daily for about 2 weeks. On my first day I called a couple of times to see how he was doing and they were patient and gave me good reports on him. They even showed me pics at the end of the day to show me how well he did with the other dogs. Max clearly liked his friends there and proved it by being happy to see Tom and Monica when we were out for walk one night. I fully recommend this daycare.

Took my 8 month old Golden pup there for a grooming and they did a fantastic job. Chatted with them the day before when we passed them on a walk and they gave me a great overview of what they would do. I have never taken a dog to get groomed, so I had lots of questions and they were patient and answered them all.
The next day, I showed up after a run through the park and he was covered in mud, they just laughed, took him in and shined him up.
Grooming can be stressful for many dogs, but they clearly made it a fun experience. Now, each time we pass them he gets all excited and tries to go in.
I have not used their other services yet, but can definitely give the thumbs up on the grooming.

My poor cat hated being carried in a cat carrier 10 blocks from my apartment, but once we got here, everything was great! I came in for a walk-​in nail clipping, and we were in and out within 15 minutes. My cat’s nails are super short now, so he can’t destroy my furniture anymore. Hooray! Hooray for quick grooming things!
Note for you: all grooming is CASH ONLY.

A few weeks ago my husband, who usually works from home, had a death in the family and had to go to North Carolina. I work full time in the city, so we had no idea what to do with our 6 month old yorkie.
She is a rescue dog and is very scared of people so we were hesitant to try Rainbow. To our surprise she seemed to actually enjoy her stay with them. They took her on several walks during the day and allowed her time for play and rest. Their facilities are clean and the staff is very friendly.
Today we took her to get groomed there… it was her first grooming so once again we were a bit nervous. Our pup came home looking and smelling amazing. We think we found a keeper with Rainbow and we plan to continue using them for daycare and grooming purposes!

Lack of professionalism. Besides the owner is a bullshitter .
The first time we walked in, we explained to the owner we couldn’t cut my dog’s nails at home since she was very difficult. He gave us a «fear speech» about not even trying to do this at home anymore because could cripple her since the nails are connected to the spine and told us one or two horrifying stories.
We made an appointment because the owner told us he had to be there since my dog is big and he was going to help the groomer. We had to wait half an hour for him because he wasn’t there at the time of the app. He was browsing and mesmerized at Home Depot.
It took 15 minutes to do the job, and they did a nice job recognizing that my dog is strong and difficult but they made it. They NEVER said: «We couldn’t do it again» They only said: «She is strong, we covered her head to make it easier». Furthermore, the owner gave us a speech about not waiting too long to cut the nails and to massage my dogs paws (which I do)
He really seemed to care.
I walked in this week (it is walk in for cutting nails they said) but the owner wasn’t there and the groomer couldn’t do it by herself. She told me to come back when her husband is there in the morning. I made an app for Friday morning. I always have to ask my neighbor a ride since my dog has cancer and can not walk the distance.
Same day, later, the owner called me.
I quote:
«That app you made for Friday, we are going to have to cancel it.»
«Why?»
“Because the dog moves too much. I am sorry we can not do this job for you.”
«Why didn’t you tell me the first time I went that you couldn’t do this job anymore?»
«Well, we did the front paws but the back was very difficult, she was jumping too much. I’m sorry,. we can not do it.»
I hung up.
THE END

I leave my mini Aussie with the Rainbow about twice a week for daycare. The staff gives him personal attention and companionship. He’s always excited whenever we pass the shop on a walk.
The facilities are safe and clean. Importantly, Tommy knows which dogs play well together and groups them by compatibility. It’s not a big shop, so the staff seem to keep track of dogs well (timely dinner, walks, etc…)
Sputnik (our dog) had his first grooming ever there, and came out looking spiffier than usual. I’ll continue to bring him there in the future. Reasonably priced too.

Just picked up my «5 yr old puppy baby» from getting his wash, and he looks and smells amazing. They went above and beyond (almost full groom status with a few less tweaks) and I M more than happy with the results. (amen Monica the groomer).
I am extremely picky about where he goes for his bath/​groom and his usual place is always booked weeks ahead. He was beginning to borderline smell like a wet sock, so my hubby and I decided to give this place a try after meeting the owner in prospect park one morning.
I will gladly say we are returning next 6 weeks for a full groom. I will even consider doggie daycare there as well on occasion since the place was clean and smelled excellent. (a rarity in the pet daycare world).
good job guys.
