My precious 14-year-old rescue dog, Codi, is having difficulty standing during an entire bath due to arthritis and a torn ACL on her right leg. She's ~65 pounds, has LOTS of hair and had never been to a groomer/bather (we've always bathed her ourselves). I was trying to find a groomer who had a lift that could help keep her upright during a bath but couldn't find one. I contacted 5-7 places in central Houston and Brenda at Man's Best Friend won me over (even though they don't have a lift). When I told her our predicament and my concerns, she immediately put me at ease by explaining her (and Man's Best Friend's) love of and care for older dogs saying they've handled many of their customer's animals for their whole lives. She gave me the confidence that they would love Codi and handle her with care - allowing her to sit/rest, when she needed to. Even though it was a 30-minute drive away and I had to find a place to get her a Bordetella vaccine prior to the grooming, I thought it would be worth it and I was right! I called to confirm prior to our visit and spoke with Amarissa who was also very kind and helpful. When we arrived, I was introduced to Craig, the groomer, who was also very kind and gentle with Codi. I agreed to have him remove her undercoat (which we will definitely do again) along with the bath, ear cleaning and nail clipping. I felt guilty about leaving her there alone, but she was clean and happy when I picked her up and the decrease in her shedding has been amazing! The team at Man's Best Friend on Bingle is a hard act to follow! Knowing that I'm leaving Codi in good hands is the only way I'd transfer this responsibility at her old age.

If you live in Houston, this is THE best place to board your dog. My dog Arlo can be a handful (2yo malinois) but the staff love him so much, and he loves them back. He used to come home so sad when I boarded him elsewhere, and since we made the switch to Man's Best Friend, he comes home happy which was so important to me. I really cannot thank them enough for how much they do for us. The staff are incredible, the prices are great, and I never worry about him when he's in their care.

Mandy is an amazing trainer! I love how straight forward and hands on her approach is with the dogs! She’s patient. She always asks if you have any questions for her. She is interested in hearing what you want and what you need in order to truly gain the support and guidance needed to truly succeed in training your dog! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

We have been taking our German Shepard puppy to Man’s Best Friend for obedience training and have been having a great experience so far. We did not have previous experience before dog training and didn’t want our puppy to be uncontrollable. Jerry is extremely knowledgeable and has helped us navigate the behaviors our puppy is developing through a balance of proper correction and praise. Our puppy Marlo is becoming such a good companion thanks to the help of Jerry and staff. Highly recommend choosing Man’s best friend for training.
