Joanna is a fantastic groomer. Our Shih Tzu always looks adorable whenever we've picked her up from a groom. She is is the best!

- Lesley and Edmund Sweeney




I was very pleased with Aimee's first grooming at Tucker Pup's. Joanna did a good job and Aimee was cut according to what a Bichon should look like. She was efficient and Aimee was done in one hour and one-half, which is a record.

Thank you very much!

- Judi Hopkins




I wanted to say the groomer did an excellent job cutting Cucciolina's hair! I asked her to cut it short and that typically could be a scary request - I've seen her after a short haircut request & she looked like a skinned chicken! But this short haircut is super cute! Please thank the groomer for me! Love this haircut!

- Karen Narcissi




This was our first time bringing our 6 month old Yorkie-Poo Riley to Tucker Pup's and we LOVED IT! We where actually referred by my friend Blythe who brings in her English Bulldog Rosie for daycare. I was somewhat nervous because this was her first real haircut but was very happy with the results. Tina did such a great job i couldn't be happier! Please let Tina know we will back see her soon. Thank you very much!!

Regards,

- Devin Flynn & Riley




Love, love, love the haircut! It was by far the best haircut she has ever had! Upon meeting Joanna, she genuinely embraced Cucciolina. I know it's not just my dog, but you could tell that she cares for dogs in general. That's a great quality to have and I like that about her. I love my dog's haircut and the groomer! I hope she stays with Tucker Pup's!

- Karen Narcissi




I just wanted to let you know that we LOVE the new groomer! She does an amazing job with Bella. We used to have to let Bella's hair grow out for weeks before she looked somewhat back to her normal self. With the new groomer, she looks great from day 1.

Thank you!

- Shivani Shah




I'm very pleased with the grooming experiences I've had with my dog Mia. Before discovering Tucker Pup's I had gone through numerous groomers and was very disappointed. I love feeling comfortable with leaving Mia with a trustworthy and professional groomer. Not to mention, Mia comes home looking and feeling good.

- Elizabeth Mangone




First of all, thank you for being so accommodating and getting Chestnut in today. Second, thank you for Joanna. She did an amazing job grooming Chestnut. He is so beautiful. We have truly found a new home for his grooming and everything else. I can't wait to try out all of the other services you offer. Third, I will be referring Tucker Pup's to everyone! In fact, I have a friends whose family is picking up their Golden doodle in a few weeks and I'm sure they will become Tucker Pup's customers. Finally, I really appreciate your coming out to say hello and make sure I was happy and spending time talking to me.

Take care,

- Miriam Moore




I have had a great experience using Tucker Pup's grooming service. They were able to fit Oscar in with less than a day's notice, and he was ready to be picked up 2 hours after I dropped him off. He also looked and smelled great! I have brought him to other groomers and he has come back scratching a lot - Tucker Pup's is the first place that I have brought him that he has not reacted in that way.

- Kari Flicker




Thank you to you and your staff for taking care of my Jax on Sunday! He participated in daycare, then had his first haircut.

Also, I just wanted to tell you what a great job the groomer did yesterday on Jax’s first hair-cut. Typically, Jax will see Joanna, and due to an illness with Jax last week, he was in dire need of a bath and cut (matted fur, the poor thing)! Therefore, we booked an appointment with Tina. She not only took the time to discuss her plans with us before the appointment, but she did an amazing job on his new do!

- Amanda Taylor




Everything went great for our first grooming appointment. Stella's cut was nice and it was great to have her back in less than 1.5 hours. Thanks we will schedule her next grooming appointment in about 6 to 8 weeks.

- Tim Schulte




Ridley looks fantastic and I am very happy with our visit today. I thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again. Take care!

Thanks,

- Lindsey Harms




We wanted to let you know that we are happy with our experience at Tucker Pup's. Tina is fantastic. I know our dog Louie hates going for a grooming but not only does she do a great job she takes the time to calm him and talk to us before we leave him. It makes me feel so much more comfortable knowing he is in good hands. She is great!

Thanks

- Katie Del Priore




You guys did a great job! We used your groomer for the first time this visit, and Rza looks great. I was worried because he has a REALLY thick coat, and can be really hard to trim evenly, but when we picked him up he looked like an adorable puppy again, rather than a furry mess. He was tired and happy, and once again being able to pick him up late was a life-saver!

Thanks,

- Leigh Cox




Your new groomer, Joanna was amazing! She did the best groom Stella has ever received. She was finished on time, looked amazing and I was just so relieved and pleased. Stella has had some bad experiences in the past with groomers so I am so relieved to find someone who not only does a fantastic job, but listened to my requests and concerned and took such good care of my pup. We will be back. Most certainly! Thanks again!

- Michelle McGregor




Macy pranced out of her grooming appointment looking beautiful! The groomer did a great job and we appreciate being able to have her teeth brushed and glands extracted. We'll definitely be back!

- Kelli Kovak




We couldn't be happier with our experience with Tucker Pup's! And, we are not that easy to please! I am speaking as a salon owner on this one too. Just because you know how to use a scissors doesn't mean always you should and Joanna hit the nail on the head. The boys look natural and undone. That has always been the hardest piece of information to convey and she got it.

My husband Ron and I look forward to getting to know you and your team more fully. Bear and Zoom will be regulars.

Continued success,

- Maxine Kroll and Ron Vari




Just wanted to say what an outstanding job your groomer did! Once he dried fully his coat was shiny and soft and he looks fabulous! (especially for the price). We will be repeat customers -- I try to get him groomed about every 6 weeks. I really think this is the best quality for the best value I have ever gotten for a large dog groom (and I've had a GS dogs for 15 years).

- Alison Miller




I was very glad to see that Basil was happy and playful immediately when I picked her up. She is often withdrawn and anxious after grooming, so this was a pleasant surprise. In the past, at other groomers, I have been told not to bring her back because she was too difficult to handle. On one occasion, I was even called to pick her up in the middle of the grooming because they said she was too difficult to finish. Your staff was very nice to me and only said nice things about working with Basil.

Thank you for a great experience,

- Barbara Karrel




We were extremely happy with the grooming -- Schazam and Schnitzel looked absolutely adorable. Since the person who regularly grooms them is on maternity leave, we weren't sure how they would turn out. It's easy to get comfortable with one groomer when she provides consistently great service. However, we were thrilled to see the work done by the new (to us) groomer. The length of their hair was perfect. She did the job extremely well and fast. Their teddy-bear style faces were spot on, and we're so glad to know that when your star groomer is out, you have equally talented groomers to fill her shoes.

Very impressed,

- Greta Rund




I was so very happy when I found Tucker Pups on the Internet after having called at least 10 places who could not groom my standard poodle, Rameses. He had gotten sick in his bed and despite my "washing" he really smelled bad. I was having a HORRIBLE time that day and Tucker Pup's saved Rameses and I by offering to wash him even though the groomer was not available that day. You cannot get that type of assistance for the care of your pet anywhere else in the city. Rameses and I love the care we receive at Tucker Pup's every time we visit!!!

- Eva Williams




This is the 2nd grooming experience we've had at Tucker Pup's. I am very pleased. The groomer asked me very good questions that were breed specific in order to give me the cut that I was looking for. She hit the mark! I am happy and Nelson knows that he's cute!

In looking for a place to groom Nelson I wanted to make sure he was comfortable. I did research on the web and narrowed my search down to 3 places. I drove around to each place with Nelson to see how he responded inside of each establishment. He was very comfortable at Tucker Pup's from that first visit. Of course it helped that Tucker was there to greet us. I've also had the opportunity to board Nelson there for 2 nights. I believe he was very comfortable there. I like your detailed attention to the care for the dogs. Your staff is friendly and informed.

Thank you,

- Lynn Winston




Service always exceeds out expectations. Tucker Pup\'s really values their clients consistently. The electronic communication system is also very convenient and efficient. The groom. Sparkie looks fabulous every time he goes. This time especially, the groomer did a perfect winter look by trimming him enough but not too much. We also had Sparkie\'s teeth cleaned. He looks rejuvenated and beautiful! We will continue to use Tucker Pup\'s as long as we are in Chicago.

- Ritu Reimer

- Lacey Bresnahan

The groomer did a great job! Not only was it really fast (maybe an hour) but my pooch looks amazing and she was very sweet and attentive when I mentioned a cracked nail to her. Definitely will be back!
