We have had nothing but positive experiences for the past 2 years at Snipz N' Tailz. Erika does a fantastic job with our anxious Goldendoodle. She is gentle and caring, and always receptive to any special requests we may have. I rarely write reviews, but feel this one is long overdue. I highly recommend this place for anyone that has dogs that require grooming. Good customer service and quality groomers. We tried them because they are close to our neighborhood, but would honestly drive much farther for the level of care and service that we have received!

Best groomer in existence for cats. I wouldn't take my cat ANYWHERE else. And trust me, I have made the mistake of doing so and it wasnt pretty. They're probably the only groomer in the state who won't ask you to anesthetize your pet. And they do a tremendous job. I live 45 mins away now and would never go anywhere else.
