Have been bringing my male & female Old English Sheepdogs here since they were pups! Awesome groomers! They do a great job! We had Erica for years who sadly moved on but the new groomer was just as amazing!

We have been taking our dog (Buster) to Lynn for about 10 years now. Buster is blind and this causes him to be very anxious. Lynn and all of the staff at the kennel know how to handle his behaviors and we never worry when we leave him there. We drive about 40 minutes just to bring him to Precious Furs because we trust they are able to manage him when we are away. Buster participates in 1:1 playtime with a staff member while he is boarded and we really appreciate this added service. They also administer his eyedrops and this is not always an easy task.

Brought my cat to have her nails trimmed. The owner did the trim and she was extremely rough with her. And after she was done she had the nerve to tell my husband that her name which is tinkerbell was stupid. The only person that was stupid was her. I will not say exactly how I feel about this person. Because it would not be posted. But she clearly does not have any business taking care of animals. BEWARE of what goes on behind closed doors after you leave your pets

Our first experience boarding our diabetic cat went so well! She even gained weight while we were gone! Staff was so professional in answering our questions and caring for our cat. We will definitely use their services again.

I'm a nervously Nelly when it comes to bringing my dog anywhere new. But after speaking with them about my concerns, and then seeing my dog come out after her 'spa' day, I can honestly say they are wonderful. My dog tends to be nervous with change, but she was completely fine and happy. Made me happy.
