My two Havanese just love to visit Danielle and Jessica for their baths and trims. I love taking them because they come home so happy and beautiful, and tired from playing in the free roaming environment. Best of all Danielle and Jessica never make me feel bad if the girls are bit tangled!Kathy Immerman
The service was great, the quality of cut was great, and the price was very reasonable. (angieslist.com)[divider]
Jasmine G.I've gone here for years with both my golden retriever and husky. Each time they really take their time to make sure we are satisfied while still loving each pet. I've taken both my dogs in for both a nail dremel and full groom. If there's anything you may want to be touched up they will do touch ups until you're 100% satisfied. Another thing I really appreciate is that when my dog gets a bath here they use quality products that leave my dog smelling fresh but not the products that have lots of perfume in them. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
Bella M.We have been taking our Mini Aussie and Yellow lab here for a couple of years. Every time they do not disappoint. The staff is friendly, They let the majority of the dogs walk around, and our Pups are also so perfectly cut when we pick them up! We added our 1-year-old corgi to the mix today and they were able to schedule all three dogs together and finish in a couple of hours. I would recommend this groomer to anyone!
Brittany S.Took my two chihuahuas as walk-ins for nail trims and they were in and out in 10min! Great staff, cute dogs everywhere to greet you!!
