We love bringing our dog here, we used to live nearby and since we’ve moved it’s a lot harder to come here for grooming but we don’t mind going out of the way considering it’s really worth it. Amy is always really wonderful and we can tell they really care about our dog. Our dog has severe anxiety and this is the only place that goes above and beyond to accommodate for that and also have her coming out looking and smelling her best!

This was our first time at Ham + Bone Fishtown but I think we’ve found our spot! Jayla did such an amazing job with Samson and checked in with me throughout his time there which was greatly appreciated. When I picked him up I could tell that he was very comfortable. I took him to another place in fishtown and he seemed terrified which is why I haven’t returned. Thanks to the Ham + Bone fishtown l team for taking such good care of our Sammy! He also loves his new toy! 🐾 🖤

I had my Akita groomed at the Queen Village location. The groomer was very patient with him (it was his first time being professionally groomed and he doesn't like to be brushed) and did a wonderful job. My dog smelled and looked so good after! The store is well stocked with high quality food/treats and accessories. The staff is friendly and very knowledgable as well. Highly recommend this store for everything your pet needs.

My puppy loves Ham + Bone! He’s had such a happy experience that every time we walk past the shop, he’s begging to go inside! I love the job they’ve done with his grooming, and will continue to shop here!

Took my dog here twice. The first time service was ok. The haircut was decent. The second time, I booked the appointment and received a series of automated texts, which is standard. Since this process happens often when you make a reservation, I ignored the texts. I am an adult, and I know when I booked an appointment. Apparently, not responding gets your appointment canceled. I usually do not write reviews, but I have never booked an appointment for anything and get my appointment canceled because I didn’t respond to an automated text.Ham + bone is not an award winning shop, the grooming is ok, nothing special. Honestly, it's kinda overpriced but it’s fishtown. There are plenty of other spots so I'd suggest trying those out first or make sure you respond to every text.

I’ve had my Cavapoo groomed here a handful of times and am always very pleased with the results. They take care to hear what I really want and make it happen. She’s always in a great mood afterwards and seems to enjoy her time there.

My dog and I love Ham and Bone! I stop by all the time to grab treats, toys, or food. They have the essentials and also tons of fun/cute toys, treats and pup apparel. My dog has been there for grooming twice and loves it. In the past I've been very hesitant to take him anywhere for grooming because he doesn't like other dogs. Ham and Bone is always understanding of his temperament when booking our appointments, and makes sure to schedule him during slower hours. I picked him up this morning from a grooming appointment and he smiled the whole way home. He looks beautiful! The groomer did such a great job; he's super shiny, his nails are trimmed and he smells great. Cash and I highly recommend!

Small but mighty! We walked up to explore the shop prior to adopting our puppy. Fell in love with Amy and her shop. Super helpful and considerate. We said we'd be back. Then Amy worked our new puppy in for an emergency grooming service. Her staff was great and they handled our 8.5 week old puppy with care.Our puppy doesn't like most treats. Go figure, but, Ham and Bone had some freeze dried Stella's I think that they gave her as a treat. She loved it. We bought a bag and it's our go to for training.Shop is small, they more than make up for that with care and attention. Grooming service is superb. Highly recommend you "shop local" with Amy and her staff!

The groomer was very kind, attentive to my dog’s needs, and did a stellar job with the cut! I have a Shih Tzu mix and so many other groomers have kept his fur longer than I asked just to make him look “more like a Shih Tzu” but at ham + bone they did exactly what I asked for! My lil guy gets overheated so it helps for his fur to be nice and short. Now he looks like a dapper young gentleman

I love Amy and the whole crew! My Bernese Mountain Dog, Stella, is always so excited to see the team (even though she hates water!), and I feel at ease knowing she’ll be surrounded by so much love. Whether it’s a bath or a full groom, they do an excellent job, and Stella never fails to come back looking like a puppy. I can’t recommend them enough!

Ham & Bone is the perfect neighborhood pet store. Amy is awesome!.. Super friendly and accommodating. Their self dog wash, is one of the nicest that I have been too - with plenty of space, good products and very clean. Also, their groomer Jen is not only super loving to the pups she grooms, but she does an incredible job!!! Check out this picture of my doodle Briggs, after a cut with Jen. If you live in the area, you should check out this great shop.

I have been taking my dog for grooming here for the past year and a half. While they do an amazing job at grooming sadly I will not be returning due to poor customer service. I scheduled a groom for my dog a month ago and when I brought him in for his appointment I was told his appointment was canceled. This was after I confirmed his appointment the day prior. I did not receive a phone call informing me that his appointment was canceled and appointments are always booked about a month out.Once inside I was greeted my a woman named Kerace. I explained to her my situation and she let me know the next availability wouldn't be until a month from now. I asked to speak with the owner and she let me know the owner would reach out to me the next day (I still haven't received a phone call). I then asked if I could speak to another employee to get a second opinion on possibly having my dog get seen that day possibly at a later time. When I mentioned this Keraces' entire mood changed and she told me "I was being demanding and not taking no for an answer". This was the first time I've been disrespected at Ham and Bone and because of this incident I will have to find another salon.

Rating for the dog grooming - my dog came back covered in more hair than when we dropped her off. The store called to say she was scared of the blow dryer so she was going to be wet... literally unacceptable to send me back a wet dog!! So bc she didn’t dry properly she’s covered in hair.... awful

I did not have a good first time experience. It was my puppy’s first grooming and I didn’t even get to meet the groomer face to face. No questions were asked of me, I practically just handed off my pup to the front desk person and she took him downstairs. After the grooming I received no feedback on how he did. What I asked for isn’t what I got. I understand that for a puppy’s first grooming a desired look may not be possible but with no feedback I wasn’t sure if he was scared or if he was ok. The appearance of his face is not what I wanted and it seemed as if no hair was trimmed off the body. I was not asked for a desired look nor was I asked for vaccine documents. I asked if I should send the documents and if I could send a photo of what I wanted. I’m convinced the photo of the desire look was not even looked at. I was really disappointed especially after seeing such great reviews. It was our first and our last time trying out Ham+Bone. The staff was friendly and his nails were trimmed and paws were cleaned which is the only reason I give it 2 instead of 1 star.

This is an honest review from a skeptic. My wife and I were looking for a new groomer when our mailman (shout out to Big Sean!) recommended H+B. They are pleasant and super friendly. Our dog HATES the groomers but I felt comfortable leaving him in their care. When I picked him up, it was not quite what we wanted. There was an obvious miscommunication so they offered to work with us and fix his cut to our satisfaction immediately. WE LOVE HIS GROOM!!! I’m pretty sure we are forever customers now. They are slightly more expensive but you get more than you pay for in quality and service. It’s piece of mind to know everything is taken care of and done really well.

Took our dog biscuit here for the first time and were left very unsatisfied.We asked for a standard poodle cut with fluffy legs, short body, paw shaved.(which is what she currently had, we just wanted it re touched. We never spoke to the groomer about what we wanted, only to the cashier. When we revived her she was completely shaved down. I do know that sometimes when they are matted their is only so much you can do, but she was not matted at all since she was regularly groomed every 2 weeks. I took her here due to the good reviews and was okay with the price (which is high) if we were getting quality, but I would not have paid / brought her here if I knew they were just going to shave her down.

I take my Blue Heeler here for grooming and the staff is always super nice and knowledgeable when I have questions/concerns pertaining to him. Definitely recommend this place for dog food, toys, and groomings!!!

We’ve gotten our XL (75+ Lb) goldendoodle groomed here a number of times. He has terrible anxiety but always comes out looking great. We usually go to Sam but Charlie also did a great job. We’ve picked up toys, treats, and a coat here too. They have cute local themed designs for coats, bandanas, bow ties, etc. I love having this spot in the neighborhood!

I’ll never take my pup anywhere else! The staff is the BEST. They’re always so accommodating & you can tell they really love what they do. Great/fair pricing and they have all sorts of treats & toys and other stuff to buy right in store. Check them out on Instagram to see how awesome they are!

We were very happy to learn of a local pet shop/groomer. Before Ham + Bone, we trekked all the way to Old City for what we needed. Today, we came for a grooming. We walked in and were greeted by Amy who is very friendly and welcoming. We asked for an all around short cut and this was the result. We're very happy with it. It took about an hour for a full wash and groom and they sent us home with a cute pink and red bandanna! Thanks for everything, Amy and Kelly! We'll definitely be coming back!

So I’d heard such rave reviews and tried a “Puppy’s first groom” for our 8 month old. Everyone there seemed nice enough, but when I got my dog back two things happened that made me decide to look elsewhere for future grooming.First, when I came back into the store to pick her up, she was noticeably licking herself, I could see from a distance she had a fairly deep scrape on her leg, and when I acknowledged it, the worker or owner seemed surprised, but then let me know that my dog had tried unsuccessfully to jump a baby gate they set up? They then said the scratches should be fine with a little Neosporin.Secondly, when I got her home and started to treat her (newly discovered) two big scrapes on her underside, I put some Aquaphor on her paws because of the salt outside…and while palpating her paws discovered two major matts of hair inside her under-paw, one of which had a small twig in them that was bringing her obvious discomfort…“Puppys First Groom” is supposed to be a sanitary trim; that includes face and feet. I’ve never owned a dog that has needed grooming like my new pup, but I’m happy I checked out their feet instead of just believing the groom was done sufficiently…So, could have been worse, could have been better. The scratches weren’t the big deal for me, it was the fact that her feet weren’t done well that bothered me, considering the price.

I always took my dog to petco but they started to constantly cancel my appointments last minute. I scheduled a grooming appointment here online which was really quick and easy to do. The price was great and everyone was super friendly. My dog is happy (:

H + B is amazing! The store is adorable, the products are awesome and the staff is super nice and helpful. My cavapoo can be really timid and very difficult to groom (she’s afraid of clippers and scissors and doesn’t like to sit still).They did nothing short of an amazing job with her! Her haircut looks great and she was very relaxed when we picked her up. They even gave her a birthday treat! I can’t thank the ladies at H + B enough for providing such incredible service and for taking care of our little pup! My husband and I really appreciate the work y’all do!

We’ve worked closely with Amy (owner) designing a counter and sign for this shop and we are now great friends! The shop is super cozy and well organized. Amy can answer most any question you might have about the products she stocks and also gives animal visitors some small treats when they come to visit. We highly recommend this shop to every pet owner near and far! They also offer grooming and have diy wash stations as well so you don’t have to dirty up your own bathroom.

Such a great shop, well curated selection of toys, treats etc and only a dollar or two more then buying online-- but sometimes you need it now and I love supporting local businesses!Their DIY doggie wash is so great and affordable just call ahead and they'll let you know if it's a good time (we also have a 100# long haired dog so they know we'll be in there for a WHILE 🙄🤣😭)-- and whenever we've gone all of the pups in the grooming area seem happy and not stressed which says a LOT about the love and care the groomers put into their work and clients.

We bring all 3 of our dogs here for grooming ( not as often as we need to ), and every time they are professional, friendly, and our dogs always seem happy when they leave, and 1 absolutely hates being groomed. I highly recommend

Everything about this store is super cute, even the owner's dog Luna! The owner was super friendly and helpful in helping me select food for my dog, who has new dietary restrictions because of his medical condition. The groomer was also really sweet and gave my pup an adorable haircut.
