Ahead of the Pack

Strolling along downtown Haddonfield on Kings Highway, you can come across a lot of really cute shops. This one, Ahead of the Pack, is especially cool and unique. Ava, the sales associate, was especially helpful and warm. Not only does this place have all kinds of fun toys, accessories, and food for your furry friend, but the second floor is a complete studio specializing in grooming for both your dogs and cats.

I had my shitzu-poodle groomed here for many years before she passed away. They cuts were always perfect and the staff so friendly and helpful! I remember the first day we adopted her we came in the store for gear and the owner was just so kind and generous about finding the appropriate size and desired items needed. The baked treats are also very tasty…according to my pup lol! Fast forward to this week when we now have a puppy and I’ve ordered countless harnesses online only to return them all for poor fitting. I brought our puppy in the store and again we found the perfect fit and comfortable harness for him as well. I just love this place and their staff 🙂

I can’t say enough good about ahead of the pack. I have been going here for years and I would NEVER GO TO ANOTHER GROOMER. They are simply wonderful, caring, and even better my dog leaves happy every visit. The customer service is exceptional with her appointments and the grooming is beautiful. Moreover, my dog loves it here. She loves the staff, the treats, and all of the compliments she receives on her pink paws. It makes me happy to see her so happy and I highly recommend you take your dog here. All of the groomers are wonderful. My dog saw Willie for years and now she sees Melissa. Also the owner Chris is very passionate about your dog having a wonderful experience and I can’t thank her and her staff enough for all that they do.

Took our golden retriever to Ahead of the Pack for grooming after little after he had to have a surgery and get his one side shaved. Denise did an amazing job, and he’s never looked better, you would never know he had even been shaved just a couple months ago. All the staff are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, their selection of toys and treats is great, and the entire experience was smooth and easy. Can’t recommend them enough!

5 stars and it’s not even close! We called this shop within 3 hours of closing to see if they could squeeze in our English Bulldog/pug mix. Katie, the woman on the phone, was so kind and had a real sense of urgency when taking care of us. She was able to get us on the schedule and we were impressed with the ease of booking and dropping off. They took notes on all of our detailed requests and off our pup went! After about an hour he came back incredibly clean and SO happy! They were able to trim his nails even though he is typically not very patient with that, and he was so clean and smelled lovely- his groomer, Denise, even gave him a cute bandana! Great experience and cannot wait to go back!

I adore ahead of the pack and so does my Sophie. The staff is so sweet and it is too cute inside. Their doggie treats and goodies make it convenient to pick up while my dog is being groomed. The grooming there is unmatched. They do such gorgeous grooming and my dog looks adorable! She also loves going to there and she loves all of the staff. I have been taking her here for almost six years and I highly suggest you do the same. I would absolutely never go to another groomer and you must try it there. You won’t regret it💕💕💕

The owner Chris goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. She special ordered treats for me when I asked a few years ago. Gretchen had been our groomer for almost 10 years. She is hands down the best.
