From the paws of Milton Bradley:
I am a 4 year old English Bulldog with OCD tendencies and allergies. As you can imagine, bath time is not a fun time for me. My parents called Very Important Pooch Mobile Dog Bath & Grooming Spa and made an appointment for me and my 3 year old brother Gus, also an English Bulldog who thinks he is the cats meow!!!!
Ms. Julie came to our home, introduced herself and explained to us what we were going to do in the comforts of her mobile unit, right outside our home!!!!! What a relief it was that we didn't have to get in the car, drive to the groomer, get dropped off and then wait for our ride back.
My brother and I received a soothing bath with special shampoo, our nails trimmed and a bandana scarf to boot!!! I must admit though, I gave Ms Julie a run for her money as I do not like getting my nails trimmed (Sorry Ms. Julie). But with Ms. Julie's tender care and affection that she has for her clients, I did it!!!!! Now my brother Gus, he was in seventh heaven just being pampered and feeling like a king!!!! He asked if we could make the next appointment before we were even finished with the spa-day!!!!!
My brother and I highly recommend Very Important Pooch Mobile Dog Bath & Grooming Spa!!!!! Can't wait for our next Spa-Day!!!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we got a treat as we were leaving
for the day....what more could you ask for...
Love,
Milton and Gus P.
XOXOXOXOXO

Excellent Grooming - Highly Recommended!
Julie does a fantastic job with Chloe. She has groomed her since she was a pup and adjusts her technique as her coat and grooming needs have changed. She takes her time and always makes sure Chloe is comfortable with what she is doing. Chloe loves the special treat bag she gives after the groom is done too!!!
I have recommended Julie to friends and colleagues as I have only had positive experiences since we have used her. The pictures she sends of Chloe post her groom are some of my favorites! - Lisa

I must tell you that I love the service that you provide and the care you give the girls. They are always so excited to see you. I hope they are not too much of a handful. They are always so soft and wonderful smelling. Breath too! I (also) love hearing their short little nails run across the tile floor!- Jill

Oreo and Trixie’s testimonial:
I found VIP Pooch (formerly Man’s Best Friend Grooming) online and after reading the grooming process,etc I decided to try it out. I have 2 very high-maintenance Beagles. :) The first time I brought my Trixie girl to the grooming loation in Grayslake. Julie met me and greeted Trixie with bells on. Trixie was a bit unsure of where she was or why her mom was leaving her with this stranger. Julie kept in touch throughout the grooming and put me to ease by letting me know that my little girl was doing just fine. Kind of like a kid; they act up in front of their parents and once the parents leave, they are A OK.
The second time I made an appointment with Julie I asked that she come to our home. My 2nd beagle Oreo (a rescue) is deathly afraid of car rides so the mobile unit is perfect for a dog like him. She had the unit set up (heat and all) and ready to go before she came to pick up the dogs. As with all dogs, they strive on structure, so when they saw the mobile unit they were a bit skeptical. I went with Julie and took the dogs inside. They looked around and seemed to be OK with the set up. A couple of treats go a long way too! Julie encouraged me to stop in and check on the pooches so I did. She had the music going and while one dog was being groomed, the other was just walking around taking it all in. After they were finshed, I had two brand new doggies. They were sparkling from head to toe, soft as a feather and smiling from ear to ear (yes my dogs smile). :) Included for each dog was a bandana and treat bag.
In addition to doing a fantastic job with grooming, one of the things I like the most is how she manicures their nails. You have an option of grinding or cutting, and then filing. My one girl is OK with the grinding while Oreo is not a big fan. It’s good to know you have other options to make the visit/grooming a pleasant one.
I have recommended family and friends to VIP Pooch and they had nothing but wonderful things to say. Long and short haired dogs; they were so happy with the services.
Thanks Julie!
Becky, Joey, Oreo, and Trixie

Julie is to dog grooming what Cesar Millan is to dog whispering. Her expert skills and gentle nature blend into a wonderful experience for my dogs. My 9-year-old Westie, Lucy, has never looked so good (and white)! My Cairn puppy, Archie, was cute as a button. Check out her photos on the website! Adorable. I have both traveled to Julie’s business and had her come to my home using her mobile unit. She does an excellent job. The dogs return with cute bandanas, bags of doggie treats, and relaxed dispositions. I couldn’t be happier! I can hardly wait to try out her new mobile unit! It looks absolutely luxurious in all that pink! :)
Thanks Julie!

Hi Julie!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your kind and loving care of Gizmo. Thanks to you, I am able to help him get feeling better - fast! And, interestingly enough, there were a couple of those "treats" that he liked! That is such a thoughtful thing, along with the whole service that you provide – it’s awesome!
Once again, I want to thank you and let you know how relived I feel to have "found" you - and let you know that I will happily recommend you to anyone that I know that has a pet!
Glory

To anyone looking for a dog groomer: Julie is THE BEST.
Not only is she a great groomer, but she's also very compassionate and treats all pets with kindness and respect.
You can trust your pet to Julie and know that not only will your pet look great, but they'll be treated as well as (maybe even better than!) you treat them. - Kim
