Review

If you have a senior dog who is testy, anxious and hard to groom, GET TO THE WOOF WASH! Newly outfitted space with owner and groomers who know their stuff. The attention to detail is SECOND TO NONE. Modern system for messaging, special account notes and appts is used (love it), the kennels are comforting and they know when the dogs need a break. For senior dogs they also adjust services for physical limitations.We brought our dog with LOTS of warnings and they listened, invited him to come in a quiet day and loved him like we do at home: NOY EASY. I am amazed that our dog made it through his first bath and not only did he NOT bite, but he left with a cute little bandana AND WAS HAPPY! I cannot sing the praises of this place any louder. Tell them your needs, ask for their advice and watch your dog flourish and smell amazing. Book online but go meet them in person to see how special they are here.

I brought in my newly adopted ,skittish 8 month old dog to Woof Wash last week. They were absolutely amazing with her! They were so gentle, loving and kind towards her. They paid close attention to her body language so they knew when they could proceed with her grooming and when to stop and give her a moment to decompress. Emily did such a fantastic job grooming Sasha! She smells amazing and looks absolutely beautiful! Her coat looks and feels so soft! Margoux, the owner is so knowledgeable! She spent so much time with me answering all my questions regarding the groom and about what I can do to help ease my dog’s transition.I can’t recommend them enough!

I have a very sweet but high energy/anxious pup that struggles at the groomer. We brought her to the Woof Wash and they were awesome. She was scared upon arrival, Margaux was patient and did her best to calm her before I left. Nydia and Emily were also great, a team of dog people. They took their time to ease her into everything and make her comfortable with them while giving frequent updates on how she was doing for her first session.The pricing is standard if not lower than previous groomers I've used, they offer different packages depending on what your dog needs and are up front about potential costs.The cut looks great, she smells great but the attentiveness and care she received combined with the communication I received is what will bring us back.

My experience at The Woof Wash today was exceptional. I would like to commend Margaux and her team for their outstanding care of my two senior dogs. They listened to my concerns, were kind, considerate, and really took the time to attend to each of the dogs specific needs. The dogs looked amazing afterward and were happy to hang out and say hi to everyone instead of trying to bolt out the door upon my return. This Essex Street business is under new ownership and I think will be in very high demand as its reputation grows. I can't imagine going anywhere else. I highly recommend their services!

Had the best experience with the new owners of Woof Wash! They took my dog and I as a walk in and did an amazing job. My dog is very high energy and a bit anxious and they treated him with kindness and care. The new renovations look amazing as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Margaux and team treated our dog like how we would treat her. That’s the most important thing to us. The grooming, value, and care is top notch. We will be coming back. Thank you.

We LOVE this groomer for our mini poodle, Bear.Margaux, the owner, is always friendly and explains each package so that we know exactly what we’re getting. Emily, the groomer, does such a good job, and Bear comes out looking fantastic every time. Emily had even suggested cuts for him that we weren’t thinking about, and it has looked great every time! We were using another groomer in Malden for a while which had a much higher price point and wasn’t as transparent as to what we were going to get in the grooming package. It was also much less individualized, and we feel like we hit the jackpot at the Woof Wash! We would give it more than 5 stars if possible! We enthusiastically recommend this business!ServicesDog ear cleaning, Dog anal gland expression, Dog grooming

We highly recommend The Woof Wash. The owner, Margaux, is super nice and has done so many improvements to the space. Our groomer, Nydia, is fantastic and our dogs love her.

I can’t recommend this place enough!! Margo and Steve did a tremendous job with my very old and temperamental senior German Shepherd dog . I had a very difficult time finding any groomer who would even attempt to try . They even offer a gentle service for older dogs who require so much more attention. Well done guys I will be back 😀🐕

Woof Wash is amazing! We just moved to town and brought our almost 13 year old senior dog in. This place is absolutely where you should bring your dog, especially if they are at all nervous or reactive. Woof Wash made sure to understand our dog's unique needs and meet them with care. You really feel like you're in expert hands. We dropped off a scared, nervous and VERY matted dog, and we picked up a pristine pup with a beautiful haircut. Very impressed with the cut and the care. Thank you!ServicesDog full service grooming

My golden had an amazing experience with the new crew of Woof Wash! They went above and beyond to make sure my high energy pup was happy and comfortable. I was even give some great training tips for my 8mon old pup. It is an incredibly welcoming place for owners and their dogs. I highly recommend the Woof Wash!

We brought our Cockapoo to The Woof Wash for the full grooming service. We had a wonderful experience. We were so pleased with the groom but also the location and the staff. The space is calm, quiet and welcoming for both dogs and humans. The staff was kind and informative, it is obvious they genuinely love dogs.ServicesDog grooming

Woof Wash has been an amazing place for my dog, Summer. Grooming has always been a struggle for her, and she previously had traumatic experiences with groomers that made her fearful—especially of the dryer. Since she started coming to Woof Wash, experiencing calm care and lots of love from Margaux, Emily, and Liz, she now walks in with her tail wagging, ready for attention. We are so grateful for the gentle care and patience Margaux and her team have shown Summer to help her get to this point.ServicesDog ear cleaning, Dog grooming, Dog bathing and blow dry, Dog full service grooming, Dog grooming and styling, Dog nail trimming

Absolutely amazing experience! I couldn’t be happier with the calming care service and attention my dog Louie received here. Emily and Margaux were extremely kind, patient, and professional. Louie has had far to many poor experiences with groomers for a 1 year old puppy and I was about to give up and attempt to do it at home until i found the Woof Wash and saw they offered calm care services!! Louie got the attention he needed during the groom, multiple breaks to get off the table reset and know his feelings were seen, and tons of treats along the way to make him feel comfortable. He went in with an uneven haircut from a previous groomer and being reactive and came home with a perfect cut wagging his tail and being the happiest boy which is very unlike him for spending a day at the groomers. He may have had his first groom there today however I feel like from the time we walked in to the time we left he had already became more comfortable. The Woof Wash is by far the best grooming we’v

I had such a great experience bringing my dog Ila in for her grooming! Emily, the groomer, was incredibly kind and gentle, Ila, our schnauzer, got so much love and attention (and plenty of pets!) that she almost didnt want to leave! It’s clear Emily genuinely cares about the animals she grooms.The new owner, Margaux, is doing an amazing job refreshing the space and really focusing on customer service. You can tell there’s a lot of heart behind the improvements being made. The whole experience felt warm, professional, and thoughtful.

I have two golden retrievers and Margaux did an absolutely amazing job with both of them! She took her time, was incredibly patient, and made the whole experience so comfortable for my dogs. She also recommended a de-shedding treatment that made a huge difference, their coats have never looked better.This place is night and day compared to what it used to be before, Pristine Pet. Woof Wash is on a completely different level. Clean, professional, caring, and truly focused on the dogs.I honestly couldn’t recommend them more. If you’re looking for the best grooming experience in Melrose, this is it! 🐾

I brought Jordy in for a deshedding, bath and nail service and received a very handsome boy in return. I was shown pictures and videos of the process as they were grooming him. I could not be happier with the customer service and return. Will absolutely be a regular customer. Thank you Woof Wash!ServicesDog ear cleaning, Dog bathing and blow dry, Dog teeth brushing

Five-Star Review for The Woof Wash – MelroseI have been to quite a few places to have my baby Ruby groomed, and The Woof Wash in Melrose is by far the best experience we’ve ever had. They take such good care of Ruby—she always looks and smells amazing after her wash day.Her groomer, Liz, is absolutely wonderful. She and Ruby bonded from the very first visit, and I have never felt so comfortable and confident leaving her anywhere else. The level of care, patience, and love they show is unmatched.The entire space is clean, welcoming, and truly dog—and people—friendly. The Woof Wash has become our forever grooming home, and I’m so grateful for the team there. If you want your fur baby treated like family, this is the place to go!— A very happy dog mom 💕🐾
