My Dog Loves Going

by JoePa1

I've always had a good feeling when leaving my bulldog at Bow Wow Meow. One of the things that makes me feel this way is when we walk up to the front door he starts to get excited and actually paws to go in. This reassures me that Kathy takes good care of him after I leave.

The price is more then fair. Also having a bulldog who loves to get dirty, Kathy really takes good care him. He gets his ears cleaned, his nails clipped and smells great when he leaves. I don't know what products they use on him but he smells good for much longer then I would have thought.

Kathy's staff has always been courteous and friendly and you get the feeling that they like their jobs. I feel fortunate to have Bow Wow Meow in the neighborhood, but would also travel to take my dog here.

I highly recommend Kathy and Bow Wow Meow.

• Pros: Kathy and her staff are tremendous

Buffy loves Kathy

by geezerchick

Buffy took an instant affection to Kathy, the owner and chief groomer. Kathy is also nice to me, Buffy's mom.

Kathy is willing to schedule groomings on my schedule, weekends included. I'm a happy customer.

• Pros: Super nice groomer
• Cons: n/a

Great Place

by JohnPR

I would have to disagree with the post about the phone call. Kathy has never been rude and has always been very understanding. I would never patronize an establishment that discriminates and I would say that in all the years that I've had my dog groomed there, there has never been any inclination of any discrimination of any kind.

• Pros: Great cuts, Great service, very patient and understanding
• Cons: None

Simply the best

by largetuna

We have been taking our dog there ever since we came back to the city almost 3 years ago. The grooming is always extremely well done and Kathy and her other groomer [Amy I believe] are very friendly and professional. The shampoo they use is a wonderful oatmeal shampoo with a great fragrance. It's a least 3 weeks after the grooming before even a hint of "doggy" smell. Will use Bow Wows as long as we live in the city.

• Pros: Great cuts and great smelling dog after grooming
• Cons: None

Best Grooming in Philadelphia

by adm179

I have been taking my dogs to Bow Wow Meow for 3 years now... Kathy and her staff are great and my dogs always come back looking amazing! The negative post below is completely untrue. Kathy is extremely friendly and personable to my partner and I every time we go in there. I don't know why someone feels the need to ask if a business in Philadelphia is gay-friendly, but Bow Wow Meow is definitely far from homophobic. I would recommend this place without reservation to anyone!

COMPLETELY UNTRUE

by KMO1

I am the owner of Bow Wow & Meow's Grooming Spa "Kathy" and the review about my being rude and hanging up on someone who asked if my spa was gay friendly is untrue, it simply never happened nor would it.

Absolutely Awful...

by pa19070

I called because several friends had good experiences in the past... but something must have changed, because the person I spoke with (I think she said her name was Cathy) was rude to me when I asked if they were a "gay-friendly" business and hung up the phone in my ear. I guess homophobia still exists in Philadelphia... I just moved to the city from the suburbs and was expecting a better class of people...

The Best!!

by melanie4pets

My dog is a wirefox terrier and had a really bad experience being "stripped". However, at Bow Wow Meow, kathy, the owner is superfriendly and accomodating. Alex, who strips my dog does a great job. They truly love dogs and the place is immaculate for a dog grooming salon. It's a great find.
