Sometimes there are good reasons to leave Manhattan. This place is worth the drive because of the great service (owner operated, and the owner is the one grooming the dogs - when do you ever see this in Manhattan). I just get so tired of high prices and bad attitudes. In this shop, you get great service WITH great prices. Yes it is possible, just a car ride away. Go in through Goethals or Bayonne bridges and save a buck or two on the toll. Make a day of it with your dog. Dogs love the ride in the car, right. Have a nice South Asian lunch on Hylan Blvd. Yes, it seems silly to drive so far, but do it for the dog! Also, for dogs who hate the groomer, the long joyous car ride is a positive association that negates the trauma of the wash and trim. The long fun trip back allows the dog to forget it ever happened. I never would have found it had a Richmond County (yes that is what it is officially called) friend not told me about it. Not to be confused with the "other Shampooch" on Staten Island.
