My boys have been getting groomed by Erin for probably nine years now. She is wonderful and my veterinarian compliments her work it is so meticulous! Lilly, Courtney, Maggie and the entire staff is knowledgeable, kind and I would recommend this store for toys, leashes, treats and food in addition to the grooming. Thank you Dog Savvy!

Have taken our dog here for grooming since he was a puppy. Even as the groomers have changed over the years they're still somehow consistently good. Definitely would recommend!

We have a wooly husky so she's got a TON of fur (and she's very playful). We come to Dog Savvy every 2ish months and they do a great job every time. I know we could not knock out her undercoat as well as they do, plus the drying time alone would be ridiculous so I appreciate how quickly they can dry her. She always is excited to visit (and do a little shopping herself) and is in a happy mood when she leaves - pretty sure she loves visiting as much as I enjoy her soft, clean, coat afterwards!

Very nice staff but need to update their services and yelp. When you haven't offered a service for 3 years but it shows up as a service on yelp that should tell you something. Maybe update Yelp. Easy to do.

We have an Aussie puppy who is very uncomfortable with the grooming process. The previous groomer at a different store took things very quickly and stressed out our pup and said he did not do well with the grooming process. We came to dog savvy because of all the great reviews and we could not be more impressed. We informed the groomer that our pup was easily stressed out by the grooming process and asked her to take things slowly and not use clippers or the dryer for this visit since we are just trying to get comfortable with the process.

She let us know that they would never use clippers on a double coated dog and that she would go very slowly. 2 hours later we picked up a clean and happy puppy and she let us know that he did very well. We could not be happier!

I don't trust my dog with anyone else! Robb the owner is AMAZING. all the employees there are great! Twiggy comes out every time very excited and happy! They take great care and attention to detail with each dog depending on each dogs needs, very knowledgeable about their products and dog breeds and their needs. I would recommend this place to anyone; in fact i just recommended them about ten minutes ago to some customers of mine!

Allie groomed my standard poodle boy and did an amazing job. I used to use big box pet stores for my grooming when I didn't feel up for it, and it would be the same charges but worse results. I will happily drive into Denver to have my boy groomed here from now on.

This spot requested a treat for my new born puppy of 8 weeks, the treats were 30 dollars. more like 600 little did I know the FDA warned consumers about this product in 2007 about the harmful affects on dogs. I had to take my puppy to a emergency vet at 12:30 at night and ended up leaving at 3:30 am 600 dollars later. Let me remind you again this treat was suggest by a employee! Shop at your own risk wish I could give a negative star.

I don't even know where to begin! My journey started on Instagram, on my quest to find a new groomer since the last place totally botched my girl. I spent hours trying to find pictures and was willing to drive anywhere within 45 mins. Thankfully I stumbled across Allies page. She had great pictures, before and afters and there were all sorts of pups to showcase her skills.

I was impressed, but after my previous experience, I was a bit skeptical. We first connected on Instagram and spent a few days chatting; trying to make sure Allie knew what I wanted cuz after our bad experience, I wanted to make sure it didn't happen again. Allie was patient with me, never promised me anything. She just educated me about the different cuts and gave me suggestions that would compliment my little girl.

When we arrived, the staff at Dog Savvy were super sweet. Everyone was helpful and welcomed us. Allie took her time to meet my girl, Millie and really listened to my every concern. Dog savvy has so much swag for the pups, from collars, leashes, tags, bowls and fresh baked goods! When I picked Millie up, even tho grooming sometimes stresses her out, she came back super happy and soooooo beautiful.

I was worried because her hair was still very short from previous, but Allie blended what she could and it was so perfect. I had been feeling like a bad mom letting my baby walk around with a messed up cut before and now, I had my girl back! Thank you so so so so much Allie! I've haven't been this happy about a service in a super long time. You truly are a gem and I'm grateful to have found you!

Absolutely the best customer service! One of the nice ladies spent so much time with me making sure we got the right fit and color (I had to have a matching leash and harness set) for my papillon! I can tell he feels more comfortable now with his new harness and leash. Thank you! 100% recommend

Dog Savvy is the best! Everyone on the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the owner is one of the nicest people you'll meet, and the groomers do a fantastic job, especially Eryn! We had a unique need for our grooming service today, and they went above and beyond for us! If you're looking for any type of pet accessory, food, or service, look no further than Dog Savvy!

They did a great job grooming my English Springer Spaniel. She was very nervous and the groomer could not have been sweeter to her. It's tough to park near larimer to drop her off, but that's part of the deal when you pick a downtown store, I guess!

An amazing pet store that offers a variety of great products with an amazing staff. Located in the heart of Larimer square, the location is a little difficult to get to, but it is well worth it.

I came to know Robb, the owner, through a very scary and unfortunate set of events. While I have never been to his shop, as I don't live in the area, I believe my experience with him matters just as much if you care about doing business with the right people. My dog became very ill on July 4th weekend and he was rushed to the ER where he was diagnosed with a deadly illness.

Three days later, the vet suggested we euthanize our dog. I was not ready to give up! I scoured the web for recommended products that could possibly help, and found Robb's name on a review for a particular product. I reached out to him for advice, and found a compassionate, helpful, caring person that really helped me get through the worst week and a half of my dog-owning life.

He was not only empathetic to my position, but so very genuine in his concern and willingness to pass on his knowledge and experience. I wholeheartedly recommend ANYTHING Robb offers. If he puts that much care into helping people when no money is on the line, he has the character of someone you really want to do business with. Thank you, Robb, so very much from the bottom of our Shih-Tzu loving hearts :

In town from Chicago, and I LOVE local places. This place is amazing! The staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and great people! Bought two harnesses for my little man Ranger Ryker (Bernedoodle), we got to try them on in the store. Got great toys and treats, he loved the coconut husk chew toy and the viper toy. Rob, one of the owners was very nice to talk to, and meet his two dogs.

We've been to at least 4 dog groomers in the area and this is the only one we've come back to. Excellent customer service and our pups always come out looking sharp as ever.

Curated pet boutique with quality products. Our go-to for our two dog's needs with a little "flair". Check out the specialty collars/leashs, high end toys, and CBD treats! The owner also always gives our pups the best treatment and always has something special for them behind the counter. Highly recommend!

We couldn't be happier with Hugo's haircut. Thanks to the entire team for scheduling help and advice on booties and cooling vests. A special thank you to our groomer Kendra! See you in September!

Dog Saavy is the one of greatest places you can get your dog groomed in Denver. I have never seen grooming and extra services of this exceptional quality. My dog Charlie loves to go. Beyond that they literally have ever dog or human accessory related to dogs you can think of. Extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Robb has truly made not only grooming but a must see site to visit and take care of any of your product needs! They look forward to serving you and your fur babies!

The owner of the shop was very nice and helpful. He even cut our dog's nails on the house! (Normally a $10 service!) Definitely would recommend this place if you are downtown or live in LoDo.

This is a lovely place for the doggie lovers. My fur baby loves the cookies and baked treats from here. They have beautiful and long lasting sweaters. I bought some 2 years ago and she still wears them. Compared to other cheaper ones I've bought at other per stores that didn't even make it after the first wash.

Been bringing the surrogate doggy here for nail trims for a few months. This spot is friendly, has tons of cute apparel (sweaters, bows, collars, leashes) and snacks/treats for the puppers. Even though he hates getting his nails trimmed (we do the dremmel), they get it done quickly and done well. Pretty reasonable prices for being in such a prime location! Plus with sbux next door, you could probably drop off your pooch for the nail trim, go grab your coffee, and be back just in time!

Great business practices. They remember me and my sweet baby kitty. I can't recommend them enough for grooming services. Though I've never done much shoppping, they seem to have a wonderful retail selection. But most of all, I appreciate the personable staff.

I love this dog shop in Larimer Square. I wish I'd had my dog with me and if I lived in Denver I would take him there all the time. The staff and customers were friendly. I bought a cute little bookmark that make my heart smile. I may have to take them up on their offer to ship things!

I love this place. My girl Phoebe has been a client for 4 years. We first had her groomed there when she was 3 months old. I can't imagine any other salon for my girl. The staff is amazing. Phoebe's favorite is Erin (hope I got the spelling right). Very gentle and loving. 5 stars from me

I came here on a Beautiful Saturday with my friend who lives in Denver and her lovely Dog Lucy. What a cool and groovy store. It is beautiful inside, very welcoming, and the staff is great. Even though I had never been here before, but my friend had. I instantly loved it! The man at the check out, even gave Lucy a treat. He told my friend all about bringing Lucy in for Grooming and all their services.

She said she would give it a try one day soon. Something I learned on this day? What a Bully stick is. I love to learn something new every day. Hehee but, truly. Love this store. If you have a pet, it is so worth a visit. Even if you do not live in Denver.

After the first horrible grooming experience we had at a place on Tennyson. I made sure to check Yelp and reallyyy look for a GOOD dog groomer here in Denver (jut recently moved here). AND WE STRUCK GOLD! They didn't charge as much as the groomer on Tennyson ANDDDDD they did a THOUSAND TIMES BETTER! Teddy (my Yorkie chihuahua) was happyyy(not traumatized) & looks fly as can be.

So happy with the customer service and the fact that they actually have you fill out a form for your dog and take their time and do a good job. Great place and will definitely bring my boy back there! Ps teddy says thanks, he's getting all the ladies now

Teething win! This place is amazing. If you want cheap Mc Donald's level things for your dog. Go elsewhere. :) You get what you pay for here. And it's worth a visit. Atlas didn't want to leave. Clean real products (No Chinese poisoned toys or treats) helpful staff that knows what you need, even when you ask for it like me, an uneducated idiot. Thanks you've got a customer for life. And if Atlas goes missing I'll know where to find him.
