our services

Our high-end pet grooming salon, The Spaw at ALC, boasts a clean, spacious environment with trained stylists ready to cater to your pet, whether they need a bath, de-shedding, nail trims and/or a styled cut.

Let your pup socialize, exercise, and enjoy our indoor and outdoor facility while you’re busy! We’re here to supervise and make sure your dog plays safely and goes home tired and content.

Our slumber-party style setup allows your dog to move about freely with canine friends, under the watch of 24/7 caretakers.

Our team of professionally-trained walkers are educated to handle and exercise your dog. We never crowd group walks — safety first!

At the beginning, Animal Loving Care Team provided a great support by answering all of our questions and helped with booking!
We also liked the fact that
– one had to provide a certificate with vaccinations
– the closest appointment would be in 2 weeks (but we wasked to be notified in case someone would cancel their appointment and we could take it)
The last but not least, Melody did a great job! We liked the final result so much! Additionally, the full grooming took only ~ 2 hours!
Love the service, the way our dog was treated and friendliness of staff!

She’s also so happy when she realizes where we’re going, her tail keeps wagging and she pulls until we get there. read less

Not only was the cut clean, on point with what I requested and timely, but I LOVE that they allow dogs to roam around the floors afterwards instead of caging them up! I was even asked if any alterations needed to be made to my pup’s cut (none were necessary) but it was nice to be asked, because I have gone to other groomers where I would have asked for changes but I have never been asked this before!
Theres a reason why they’ve come so highly recommended by everyone in the area, I would give them all the stars! read less

Great stylists at the spa that can work with all varieties of dogs and hairs. Custom cuts and listen to customer preferences. Prices are comparable for the area (high) but that’s not surprising

The staff are so excellent and truly loving with our dog, who is a very difficult client!! They always manage to give her a great grooming. We are grateful for this safe and wonderful service and have been clients for years.
Super good grooming at their spa!
Cute puppy play dates that they live-stream on their Instagram. A really lovely pet community that is a cornerstone of this part of Brooklyn.
I have been looking for a great grooming place and definitely found it! We took Archie today and we Love the results! Pricing is amazing, and they are very professional. Definitely recommending this place to all our fur parents.

I haven’t even used all of their services but they are an absolute lifesaver for daycare. If you are a regular, you don’t need reservations and you know that your pup is in good hands. They even do pick-up and drop off, and you can do a combo of daycare and grooming, and they also do dog walking. I haven’t used the overnight services, but it looks like a great environment to sleep over–my pup is used to sleeping in bed with us, so its great they have a big bed with a staff member overnight. They are always super responsive to email/calls/texts. read less

Adrianne drove him to the doctor(per my instruction) and stayed with him through the entire process! After the doctor, he had to be admitted to emergency and she kept me posted throughout. I will be forever grateful to her and ALC on how they took care of my furbaby. read less

We booked Milo's first appointment back in October for his birthday trip to Florida and will not go anywhere else again! The attention to detail she has when grooming is exceptional in addition to the genuine passion she demonstrates when interacting with him truly makes us feel good about taking him to ALC; we enjoy dropping off & picking him up and seeing him able to interact with the other dogs as well. We drive about 55 mins to take him but it's well worth the trip! Btw, the pictures and videos she takes before and after always melt my heart! read less

As a groomer they have been so wonderful and Charlie always comes back with a perfect cut and has some fun while he is there. Recently, while waiting for Charlie to finish a grooming appointment, I was car jacked by someone with a box cutter. I ran to Cremini's down the block for help and was turned away and then ran right to animal loving care. They immediately called 911 and stayed with me while I spoke to the police. When I had to go with the police they assured me that my belongings and Charlie would be safe with them as long as we needed. Hours later when we came back they were so kind and let us know they put a warning out on their social channels and asked how else they could help. I am so grateful to this business for their help during this time and for making sure Charlie was safe. This business cares about all of its clients both furry and human. read less
