The Grooming Studio - Niantic, Connecticut

I live in Griswold but happily make the drive to the Grooming Studio!

Danielle has groomed our family pets and my sons service dogs for many years so when her services moved to East Lyme we were happy to follow.

The groomers and staff at this establishment truly love what they do. Grooming isn’t just about pampering your pet and making a dog look nice - it is also about their health and comfort. The groomers at this studio go the extra mile to make sure your dog will be as satisfied with their service as we are.

After numerous groomers at Pet Smart for Chandler Bing over a 11 1/2 year period I had had enough! I was put on a waiting list and got a call from the Grooming Studio that Allie was recently hired and available. I immediately scheduled an appointment. Everything went perfect. My dog always received great reports from at least 10 different groomers at Pet Smart. We Never had the same one for a full year. We weren’t concerned about Chandler and am not fussy at all. I was amazed and totally satisfied with the teddy bear cut he received. He is a standard Whoodle! We received numerous compliments on how great he looked. My wife who never notices his haircut said you know Chandler has never looked this good. Everything is cut so even and precise! This prompted me to write this! Kudos to Allie
Thank You Grooming Studio for keeping us on your list, hiring Allie and for maintaining a pristine facility

Great groomers, especially for "challenging" clients. Always on time and proactive about scheduling next appointments. Will listen to specific requests for styles. Good communications about pickup times and confirming appointments.

I had nothing but a tremendous experience with the grooming studio thanks to Danny. Very recently, Danny took a position elsewhere and we had an appointment schedule for right before his last day. I randomly received a call from a female at the shop stating danny no longer worked there and was unwilling to assist me with connecting with him for continued grooming services . Additionally, the studio refused to continue making the accommodations for my dog that Danny had been doing for 2 years prior it was very disappointing and unfortunately they lost a loyal customer.

Great place! I work for an IT installation company, so I will spend 6 or 10 months at one place and then move again. I have had my Afghan Hound groomed pretty much all over the country, and Classic Dog Grooming is by far the best experience we have ever had! The owner and her assistants seriously seem to understand what it takes to make a dog comfortable and beautiful. I am surprised by the low-cost, but I also understand why it is so hard to get an appointment! I wish they could travel with me.

I have been trying to find a good dog groomer for my American Eskimo, but couldn't find one. I happened by The Grooming Studio last Saturday, (3/19), so I went in to check them out. There was another client there with an American Eskimo. Good sign, they know how to groom an Eskimo. So I began to tell the groomer there about what I was going through: that one place I tried was so disheveled, I couldn't leave my dog there. But the groomer, Danny, was kind enough to give me an appointment. I was also concerned about whether or not my dog would like the groomer. When I gave Tundra over to Danny, he went with him as if he already knew him. About 15 minutes later Danny called me to let me know that Tundra was doing just fine, seemed a little nervous at first, but calmed right down and was enjoying his bath and was good company. When we went to pick up Tundra Danny was still Grooming him. We could look to see Tundra, he appeared to be happy and enjoying himself. I am very pleased in the service Danny gave me, the way he handled Tundra, like he was his own dog, Danny really loves animals and caring for them. I'm more than pleased at the way Danny handled Tundra, I think better than his previous Groomer in Warwick, R.I., which is 5 stars for Danny. Best of all, Tundra looks GREAT!

This is one of the best grooming salons around! They offer the best service possible to your beloved pet and take into consideration any special needs or concerns you may have. They are very well trained and knowledgeable as this is a field they have worked in for years. Just recently I have learned they have stopped accepting new clientele, which is for the better. All the clients they have now have been there for years and book out for the year, which leaves them with no spots for new clients. In all honesty, who wouldn't want to bring their beloved pet to a grooming salon where the clients are loyal and trust their groomers so much that they book out for a whole year so they know they have a spot with them. That in itself screams dedication, trust and loyalty! Rock on Classic Dog Grooming, do your thing! You are the best! Fifi looks forward to seeing you soon! ;-*

We love this salon. Our Westie is treated very well there, they are responsive to how my wife wants Mollie groomed, and they are competitively priced. They are also open on Sundays - a plus for people who are busy most of the week.

We've been using Classic Dog Grooming for several months now. There are closer venues, but we love the service and staff there.
