They took such great care of my dog and she came home so happy! After some not so great experiences at some other shops in the area, we are so happy to find a place that loves our dog as much as we do!

Nikki has been grooming my two sweet kids for over ten years! Krissy as well. I absolutely adore them & they truly care about the animals. I would not trust anyone else with my fur babies! I have not had a single bad experience.

I took my King Charles Cav last Friday for a trim. I had been letting my dogs ears grown for 6 months and they were ready for a little trim to even them out. I requested the groomer to just trim the most one inch. Omg. she chopped at least 3 inches and worse of all, she rounded the ears in LAYERS! Super uneven unprofessional. Also I noticed the legs were not even trimmed, the tail was swiping the floor (not trimmed neither), some parts of abdomen with holes.
I finally spoke to manager today. While explaining my disappointment she was cutting me of with excuses. She finally apologized after a long time conversation. The groomer never did. I requested refund, she said she doesn't do that, that she will give $25 discount next time! I'm not going next time! Stay away from that place. Now I will have to wait at least 6 months for my dog to look like a KCC!

They take good care with Teddy! He looks great when he comes out with his bath and nail cut. We highly recommend them. Thanks!
