Horrible place. They do a cheap and horrible job on animals. I took my husky in and he came out horribly. He was still wet and not completely dry. They rushed it and it is was almost impossible to even get an appointment. They are always booked and never have enough groomers to take care of animals. Hard to find this place with no sign on top of the building.
They need to increase their hours to offer more appointments for the area. They are horrible managers for this business and could increase the amount of money they make if they offer more appointments and hire more groomers. Horrible management ohh an one more thing the prices here are horribly over priced. Almost 100 for a full husky bath and brush. Not affordable in this time if age. Will never book here again and will let the local dog community to avoid this place in the fu

Love this place! About a year ago, my 16 year old shih tzu had to get an emergency surgery. It was about 6 PM and I called them and asked if they could cut her hair and give her a bath before she went in the next day. They were closing soon but took her in and she and I were so thankful. Very accommodating. My pooches get nervous everytime upon entry but come out so happy and I know they feel so good!
The hair cuts its self are great. If you know what you want, they will fulfill your requests and if you're unsure, their judgement is also great! Staff helps me everytime get my girls to the car! Very polite. We have an appointment this week and I'm so excited. Make sure you book in advance because they are very busy!

I was given the recommendation to try this grooming place for Gus. I went in for a hair and nails trim and ear cleaning. I was running a late and after reading a few of the reviews, I know they tend to cancel if they are busy. Thankfully, I was only a few minutes late they were able to my pup. I was a little nervous to leave my pup but when I returned I was do greatful Rachel did a phenomenal job.
He was so happy and not afraid at all. She knows exactly what she's doing and I couldn't be more comfortable! Thank you girls for the warm welcome I'll return for his next grooming!

Rachel is great. She has patience and she tries her best under the circumstances. I've been taking my foster now permanent family dog there for over 2 years, and he isn't the easiest dog to deal with. His anxiety level is 100000 at all times when he is out of the home. AKA, he's a pain in the butt. That's why I always want him cut as short as possible lol. They have patience with him over there and I appreciate that. He always looks great! Thank you ladies!

One of the worst ppl working there including the owner something is not right with those people I brought my 2 dogs for a scheduled appointment from 3 weeks in advance they have 15 min window as they say I was there 20 which is 5 min later than what they say they start to scream we can't take both of them cause they are late 5 min from our window as per them.so the.groomers gets loud when I am talking to her and I asked for the owner cause she was getting super rude, and the owner comes and start screaming and yelling saying I have lots of dogs today I was sued cause I took more dogs and one got hurt and I paid $2000 then she flipped the stuff on her desk and dogs cookies were everywhere and I said we are leaving then she say don't come back i said who would come back to a place like that Not to mention that they have rescheduled my appointment several times.
One thing stay away from them they scared me and scared my dogs, which one of them were very senior and both were shaking from their voice. And obviously they hurt dogs before according to the owner stay away from those ppl there

I am giving them 4 stars because I was disappointed they did more than what was asked the last time I brought my 2 dogs there. I have a Golden doodle and a Maltipoo (Daisy & Charlie). They are so well behaved when they're there and they look amazing when we leave. The only concern I had was the last time I brought my dogs there, which was 6 months ago, Daisy my doodle barely had any hair to clip off her coat and they groomed her anyway.
All I asked for was a bath and brush and that was what was noted for them as well when I called. Not only did they cut her hair but I found so many nicks on her skin. I called and left a message but no response was given. I just think when you see a dog that has barely anything to cut off their coat, there should be a decision made, as a professional, not to cut.
I know it costs more to groom rather than bath and brush so I felt a certain way afterwards. Not only did I not expect to pay what I paid but the refund didn't make sense that they gave. They charged me for a bath and brush, $65 each but my maltipoo is 25lbs, and my golden doodle is 65lbs. Usually my dogs are excited and ready to go or trying to leave when we arrived at other grooming companies.
The times I've been there, they've been calm & do not seem bothered by the experience. It is a surprise to me as that's not usually like them. I feel comfortable that they treat them well since they are not anxious by being there. I just would like to feel secure that I get what I asked for and not given something else, then charged much more.
