The Soapy Dog

We moved to the South Shore this past Spring — and have been looking for a new dog groomer.
We have 2 adorable shitzu /​bichon mixes. Howie & Midge. Our babies!
They were so overgrown and totally in need of a grooming, nail trimming, and bath. Naturally, I wait until the last minute to schedule things. I was pleasantly surprised that The Soapy Dog had 2 appointments on a Saturday. They had had a couple cancellations so they were happy to take Howie & Midge.
They were there most of the day — which didn’t surprise me because they were really shaggy! When I picked them up they looked ADORABLE. They were cut perfectly. She left just the right amount of hair on their heads. They were so clean and trimmed. Overall, I was very happy with the dos’
prices were totally reasonable.
Also, the service was great. The woman who helped me was so friendly.
We will definitely be bringing Howie and Midge back!

This is a great place! I was able to bathe, completely dry and comb out all the undercoat of my Labrador. Not an easy task in the tub at home. The staff were very helpful and even cut his nails for me. I will be a return customer!

I see a lot of high marks for their grooming services, which may be great but I went to their dog self-​service wash and that area was filthy. I had to clear the drain of a huge wad of dog hair and the overall area was covered in hair including the shampoo bottles the lady brought to me. When I turned on the dryer it was like a snow storm. I was covered in fur when I left and I own a non-​shedding dog…

After moving up to the South Shore one year ago we finally found… Natasha at The Soapy Dog! We are so happy, I can’t even begin to tell you how many horrible groomers we encountered in our quest! Our quest is now over and we would drive 2 hours to have her groom our dogs:)

great dog grooming! they take good care of the dogs/​cats!

They are very nice there. I have 3 dogs they will watch 2 of them. I do think they are a little scared of my other dog. So we have them wash our 2 smaller dogs and we wash our other one. They do a great job my pups smell good for a change.

Fantastic groomers! I have two small dogs and they were groomed to perfection in a timely manner. Great prices! Friendly staff. One of my pups is a little skiddish, and they did an amazing job handling her. Highly recommend them, could not be happier!

George and I love The Soapy Dog. It’s great to bring George in for a bath after we’ve been at Stodder’s Neck Park running in the mud or swimming in the stinky ocean (or, as is often the case, swimming in the ocean and then rolling in the dirt so everything sticks nicely).
The Soapy Dog provides a tub that’s at just the right height for me to bathe him. George is leashed in the tub so he doesn’t move, but it’s still comfortable for him. They give me an apron to wear. They provide the soap, and they’ll do George’s nails and ears. After George is bathed and rinsed, I can force blow him dry to get rid of the majority of the water and then move him to a grooming table to brush him while he gets blown dry with warm air.
On two occasions now The Soapy Dog has let me wash George when I’ve arrived just after they close. The owner watched George for me while I ran to the ATM, too. Totally above and beyond.
The prices are good, especially when I consider what a pain it is to wash and dry a dog at home. Yay for The Soapy Dog! We’ll be back!
