Best boarding facility in town! I’ve been a customer for 20 years and I have 4 dogs. It feels so good to know the dogs are in great hands when I travel. Highly Recommend!

I have been bringing my pups to Groomingdales for over 10 years. My babies always are happy when arriving, and look so cute when I pick them up! Thank you Groomingdales for always taking special care of all my pups!

5 years ago this weekend is when I adopted my best friend ever from these wonderful ladies! Thank you so much for all of the compassionate, exceptional care you have given on the times we came in for a groom or to board him. 💜 Caring, wonderful staff; fully recommend!

I just moved to Tampa and wasn't sure how I would find someone to groom my wired-hair fox terrier. I also needed to board my dog for a few days so I started my search. I came across Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit and gave them a call. I gave them a try for the grooming and boarding and was very pleased with the results. Melissa gave me useful information about the care and well being of my dog. I am "lucky" to have found Groomingdales.

The Brooks family LOVES Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit. We've been bringing dogs to this great place for over 11 years. First our beloved beagle and now our funny Yorkie mix. We drive from South Tampa because we have found this to be the best place in town. When I brought Jack in last week he yelped with excitement when we turned into the drive and ran to Melissa and jumped up to say hi. He never looked at me again until I came to pick him up. They treat him with love and kindness and it shows. And the grooming is wonderful - he always looks awesome when it's pick up time! Thanks for loving him as much as we do!

We have used Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for our 5 dogs for 14 years. The "boys" are always excited to visit. Our Golden has jumped out of the window to be the first to get the door. We would recommend Groomimgdales for grooming or boarding.

Bridgette & Dakota love Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit & so do we! They have been boarded & groomed there since they were puppies & we have total confidence in the care they receive when they are there.

My husband and I have been utilizing Melissa's services at Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for over 10 years for our two dogs, Truffles and Max. We primarily utilize grooming services but have also have used her kennel service as well. It has always been a wonderful experience for our dogs as well as us. Our dogs get so excited and happy upon arrival at Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit - a sure sign of their dedication to Melissa. Melissa is most attentive and if she observes anything out of the ordinary with the dogs we are advised of the issue so we can pursue proper attention if required. We have never considered any other place other than Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit.

I am a client of Melissa's Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for approximately 20 years now and would trust her with the care of any of my precious pets. She has superior knowledge of the needs and care of all breeds, conducting her business accordingly; not to mention the love, patience and compassion she has for every pet she has contact with. With her expertise, she will give advice to pet owners on proper care as needed. She is truly a dedicated professional, very hard to find!

I have used Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for 6 years with two Min. Schnauzers for grooming (a few nights over but I know they take extremely good care of the animals and would not have any issues if I needed to put my dogs in for one or several nights). Melissa does a tremendous job with the total grooming package. I would not go anywhere else. In fact, in January of each year I schedule my entire year of grooming appointments which also makes it convenient and easy.

We have vacationed our pets at Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit nearly 10 years & they love the freedom & fresh air of the indoor-outdoor runs & playtimes in the fenced yard! They are always happy to arrive & when they come home! We wouldn't think of leaving them anywhere else!

We bring our dog here all the time, and he's a little wild but they seem to not mind (or at least don't let on that they do! haha). Hutch always comes home tired which is a great sign to me because it means he's had plenty of play time! I'm completely satisfied with Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit and have no doubt that if something went wrong medically or otherwise with my dog they would both call me and take any and all proper precautions to keep him safe and healthy. One time we brought him in and he practically body slammed Melissa (which is his way of showing how excited he is to see someone), so that alone tells me they take great care of him. Highly recommended!

We've been boarding our pets (2 dogs) for a few years now. Their last visit was 7/08 for a week. When our Chihuahua wasn't acting right, they immediately called us and told us they were taking her to our vet. They even called the vet to check on her. She's fine thanks to the watchful eye of Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit. Our pups will return.

My family has been using Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit at least twice a year for 15 years. We board our now 17 year old lab mix and have been very pleased with the love and care that Melissa and her associates provide. They are very concerned about my pet and her special needs. We have been very pleased and have never had an incident. As a matter of fact, our pet is not one who enjoys baths and now that she is older, is prone to surprise (due to poor hearing) and possibly nipping the groomer. So far, no complaints about her behavior and coincidentally, we are bringing her in for ten days tomorrow.

I have used Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for years. I affectionately call the owner the "Kennel N..i". I say that because she is passionate about her business and her clients, (the animals) just like the Soup N..i on Seinfeld. . There is no one I would trust more than Melissa to care for my cocker, Pixie. This is a 100% unsolicited endorsement of Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit. In fact, I came across this site when I was looking up the number for a recommendation from her of breeders for a new pet.

As longtime Westchase residents, we have been clients of Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit for over 14 years. Melissa, Sherry and the entire staff are always very friendly and professional. The true reference of their service comes directly from our three dogs - Blossom (boxer), Sake and Callie (Shihtzus). They are always excited when we pull down the road to Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit and can't wait to get inside. This affirms the type of care that they receive while they are there. Also, based on our dogs reaction when they arrive…apparently fun is also provided as part of the program. In our long history with Groomingdales Bed & Biscuit we have never had one issue related to the condition and health of our dogs. The bottom line to leaving your pets with anyone is trust. They have clearly earned our trust and our ongoing business.

I first met Melissa in 1992 when we adopted our first schnauzers, Chip and Dale. Melissa's own Bill and Bridget were their grandparents, and we quickly bonded with "Grandma Melissa". We have always taken our schnauzers for grooming to Melissa and have been more than happy with her excellent grooming and wonderful care of our precious "puppies". Chip became a father in 2003 and we welcomed to our home Woody and Jessie. Their sisters, Dakota and Bridget, were adopted by Melissa. Taking four dogs to Melissa for grooming was always an exciting trip. They knew that they would have a great day seeing all the other dogs and looking their best when they came home. I would never think of going any where else for grooming. Melissa's genuine love for all her clients shows in her work. Thank you Melissa for all you've done through the years.

We have been going to Bed and Biscuit/Groomingdales for years! We love it and the Spencer and TJ love it too. There is a big yard for them to play in and nice big dog runs unlike the competition that puts your loved ones in a CAGE! Groomingdales is the BEST! Thanks! The WELCH Family.
- Shawn, Andrea, Mia, Spencer and TJ
We have been clients at Groomingdales for over 13 years and would never go elsewhere! Our dogs have never stayed a night outside our home other than the Bed & Biscuit!! We are grateful for the comfort of having Groomingdales / Bed & Biscuit take such wonderful care of our family members past and present...
Lulu, Diesel & Lolla!
