My boys have been getting groomed by Erin for probably nine years now. She is wonderful and my veterinarian compliments her work it is so meticulous! Lilly, Courtney, Maggie and the entire staff is knowledgeable, kind and I would recommend this store for toys, leashes, treats and food in addition to the grooming. Thank you Dog Savvy!

Have taken our dog here for grooming since he was a puppy. Even as the groomers have changed over the years they're still somehow consistently good. Definitely would recommend!

We have a wooly husky so she's got a TON of fur (and she's very playful). We come to Dog Savvy every 2ish months and they do a great job every time. I know we could not knock out her undercoat as well as they do, plus the drying time alone would be ridiculous so I appreciate how quickly they can dry her. She always is excited to visit (and do a little shopping herself) and is in a happy mood when she leaves - pretty sure she loves visiting as much as I enjoy her soft, clean, coat afterwards!

Very nice staff but need to update their services and yelp. When you haven't offered a service for 3 years but it shows up as a service on yelp that should tell you something. Maybe update Yelp. Easy to do.

We have an Aussie puppy who is very uncomfortable with the grooming process. The previous groomer at a different store took things very quickly and stressed out our pup and said he did not do well with the grooming process. We came to dog savvy because of all the great reviews and we could not be more impressed. We informed the groomer that our pup was easily stressed out by the grooming process and asked her to take things slowly and not use clippers or the dryer for this visit since we are just trying to get comfortable with the process.
She let us know that they would never use clippers on a double coated dog and that she would go very slowly. 2 hours later we picked up a clean and happy puppy and she let us know that he did very well. We could not be happier!

I don't trust my dog with anyone else! Robb the owner is AMAZING. all the employees there are great! Twiggy comes out every time very excited and happy! They take great care and attention to detail with each dog depending on each dogs needs, very knowledgeable about their products and dog breeds and their needs. I would recommend this place to anyone; in fact i just recommended them about ten minutes ago to some customers of mine!
