If I could give ten stars I would. Best grooming service we've ever experienced in all of Ottawa. We've brought our golden retriever Shenzi a few times and mama brought her back from our most recent visit and I was like Waaaahhhhhh! Holy moly they did an amazing job! Highly recommended! I wish I took a before and after pic, next time.

I adore this groomer. My Aussie always comes home happy, looking gorgeous and that is all a pet owner can ask for. Staff and helpful and courteous. Thank you for taking such good care of my Lenny.

They started off great but not so great anymore. We have been using TLC to groom our 2 year old Yorkie Austin since he was about 6 mths old. We realize he is a nervous little dog and it must be challenging to groom him but the past 3 cuts have been bad with the most recent one this week being terrible - so bad that he appears to be an abused dog we don't seem to care about : One of his back paws had a one inch area that had been shaved right down to his skin.

His face was all uneven. And his chest had been shaved under his legs but not his belly nor under his face. Poor Austin looks ridiculous. We were hopeful they would improve but apparently that won't happen and therefore we will definetly not be returning. Yuyu was supposed to be grooming him but we think it has been someone else because as I mention before, great job early on! Very unfortunate for our pup as we were trying to get him used to someone/place early on.

Yesterday, a wonderful groomer named You-You (forgive me if I've misspelled your name) gave our year-old English Cocker Spaniel, Jackie, a magnificent summer cut. Jackie has a thick, medium-length coat and she loves to swim so she 'd become badly matted in some areas, especially her rump. Even with careful brushing and scissors, I wasn't able to remove all of the mats so we thought an close trim would solve the problem and keep Jackie cool during the hot months.

She came home from her appointment looking like a puppy! We could see all of her beautiful little spots again and her short fur felt like velvet. Brushing her after her swims will now be so much easier. We'll probably go back for one more short cut before the hot weather ends, then let her fur grow back a bit for the fall. I'm posting some shaggy dog before shots and some sleek after shots so you can see how much fur disappeared. Great service, very reasonably priced, I would highly recommend TLC Grooming. Thank you, ladies!

I brought my puppy (4 months) to get a puppy cut and I am so happy with the results. He was very shaggy before (hard to see his eyes). Marty did a great job with him and we will definitely be coming back.

Don't go chasing waterfalls! TLC did a beautiful and thorough job on our dog. He's a large breed with a lot of energy. They managed him really well. He looks great! Highly recommend
