about us
The term "holistic" refers to approaching a task or mission as a whole rather than just focusing on the individual parts. At Howlistic Grooming we understand the importance of where you take your pet to be groomed. It is an experience that is going to follow your pet throughout his or her lifetime. This experience should be as stress free and as pleasing as possible.
That is why we choose all natural eco-friendly products and grooming techniques that have been deliberately designed to unite the body, mind, and spirit of your dog and to heal the negative affects that our sometimes toxic environment puts
upon them.
Dogs have a particular sensitivity towards our emotional unrest and stress. Because they are loyal and determined to bring us joy they sometimes carry the burden of that stress within themselves. That's why Howlistic Grooming only chooses products that combine oils, herbs, botanical and flower essences specifically to help soothe and ease their minds as we groom and clean their skin and fur.
Show your appreciation for your loved one, whose only job is to be of service and joy to you. Wellness in mind, body, and spirit is well worth the effort.

Policies:
Each appointment has a 15 minute grace period. Out of courtesy to our other appointments, any late arrivals will be rescheduled. If there is availability to take your pet after being late, a late fee of 20$ will be applied to your total.
We request cancellation at least 24 hours ahead of time to give us a chance to fill the appointment. Multiple same day cancellations, late arrivals or no shows will result in a nonrefundable deposit needed to book your next appointment. The deposit is forfeited if more than 15 minutes late, you no show or cancel same day.
We try our best to communicate when your pet will be ready to ensure a quick pickup. Early appointments have a 90 minute period to pick up their dog. Last appointments of the day (12:00,12:30) must pick up no later than closing time. Failure to pickup before the 90 minutes expires or picking up after closing time will result in a late pick up fee determined by how late it is.
Please communicate with us ahead of time if there are any scheduling conflicts with drop off or pick up time so that we can do our best to try to arrange things. Even one person being 15 minutes late can affect the rest of our appointments. Thank you for your cooperation. 🐾

a few words About the Owner
The Howlistic Groomer started his career as an apprentice 18 years ago in Columbus Ohio. After managing the grooming facility within a veterinarian hospital for 3 years his talents brought him to Chicago, where he took up work in the prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood for 9 years at the high volume salon known as Pawsitively.
Through his own personal philosophy and observation he recognized a growing trend in illness, and disease commonly prone to humans. He saw the need for a 'Holistic Approach' to the art of grooming. Not just grooming the physical, but spirit and mind as well.
Dogs and Cats alike share an intrinsic connection to humans. So he created Howlistic to give them just what they needed: a spa day. One full of pleasant smells and soothing touch. To put them at ease and show them they are loved, and appreciated. Remembering that all living things share that need.
