Dog House Spa

We have been taking our dogs here for several years for grooming as well as boarding and even half day «doggie play time». We have only had very positive experiences — always. The people there try really hard and care about the dogs. The grooming has been excellent and my dog always comes home looking great and happy.
In fact, when I walk my dog in the neighborhood, she pulls me to the front door of this place and begs to go in.
I’ve read the negative reviews and have to say, running a small business like a doggie spa with boarding and grooming, cannot be that easy anywhere, especially in NYC. Yes, sometimes the employees may be overwhelmed or distracted with a bunch of barking dogs in the background while trying to simultaneously run a retail business, Not an easy feat in upper east side
But having tried many places all over the upper east side, and even Petco on 116^th Street, The Dog House Spa has been perfect for our family and our dog consistently for several years. You can trust them explicitly for short term or long term boarding as well as dog walking and grooming.
BTW, this is written by a true client and not solicited… I just like the people that run the place and you can trust your pet with them

The dog house is the best place you can ask for your dog. I left my English Setter Daisy for 5 days. my neighbor told me he saw my dog in the park few times a day when he was walking his dog at 6:15 am. Daisy looked very happy with the walker. This place is clean as a cleanest I’ve seen. You need to call few days in advance to get in for grooming. Daisy go there twice a week for day care. You can always notice her excitement when we get there. It feels like home for her. Highly recommended. ask for Alon or Luis

i love this place so much. its hard for me to make it out because im all the way far out queens :((booo)
but whenever i get the chance i leave my mini poodle for a trim with jay ! shes the best, did exactly as i asked with the grooming. the few times i was there standing around id see how they would actually prepare the fur babies meals, they were treated like little humans !! i have a hair salon in fresh meadows any i recommend everyone to bring their babies here …
like many Unilocalers i know negative reviews throw you off but this place is so worth it
that being said i love this place and will forever bring my baby zoey here when im given the chance :)!!!

This place is a lifesaver. We recently moved to NYC and brought a German Shepherd that was not used to the city. We tried many different companies in the area, none of which could provide the care our dog is getting at this place. The owner has years of experience and worked with our dog on his leash aggression and his urban adjustment. He is now such a happy dog, loves to go there, and we are so grateful! Thank you!

This place was wonderful but one of the owners went back to Israel. Now it’s a dirty mess with baby carriages blocking the isles. The animal food selection is poor. No one cares how it is run and the dogs in «day care» just lounge around in a small ares and sleep. No one plays with them

I took my dog there to be groomed and my dog returned shaved. According to the groomer the dog had some knots, which I don’t believe was the case. In any event, I should have been warned beforehand and given the option of not going ahead with the grooming. Needless to say I will not be going hack.

The Dog House Spa on east 97 street is one of the best grooming spa in Manhattan. Our standard Poodle Lily loves this place We have been going there for grooming and boarding for the last four years. the staff is very truly, genuine and take good care of the dogs.
the dogs in day care look very excited to go out to the park. a great place to have right on fifth ave.

The Dog House Spa is one of those great classic New York City small businesses. Great and highly competent service combined with a fantastic friendly attitude. My dog has been going there for 7 years for daycare and boarding and baths and he is one happy camper! In fact, on the days when he isn’t going there for daycare, we can’t walk by the place without his insisting that we pop in to say hello to his buddies and to grab a treat from the bowl by the door. For me, the Dog House Spa makes having a canine companion in Manhattan a true ‘walk in the park’.

I had read the negative reviews and talked my fiancée out of getting our golden doodle groomed there. Until… every time we asked owners on the street where they got their’s groomed, they responded «Dog House Spa»
So I took him today and he came out amazing! great cut, clean ears, beautiful coat all fluffed out. I highly recommend Dpg House Spa

I have my dogs groomed here when I feel the need for then to look like miniature Farrah Fawcetts. The groomer here is very good. I have two yorkies and this is right down the street from me so it’s pretty convenient also. They do boarding and daycare, but it’s really pricey. I have gotten free day care with the grooming (they better!) it costs me around $ 175 bucks to have my dogs groomed here. The place is owned by two brothers from Israel and they are so cute.
I wouldn’t recommend just taking your dog here for daycare or boarding because they don’t have lots of space for them to run around. and for the price there is better. They either keep them locked up in this small space in the back of the store or have them in a cage downstairs. Not ideal. But. really because of the location it might be worth it, I personally would rather take the trip downtown to have my dogs boarded in a place where they can run and play all day indoors than to be locked up in a small space and for less money!
The four stars are really for their excellent grooming services. I have always been happy with how my dogs look and smell when they emerge from the dog spa. Although, at this rate, I think I spend more on their hair than mine!
