Would not take my cat because he got stressed out and "stressed out the groomer". Isn't that their job? To deal with animals? My cat did not bite them or scratch them. Probably "stressed" out from dogs barking and the clipper. I don't recommend

Just below our standards for grooming our pet. As a pet store it's fine. On the expensive side as well

I have been going here for for many many years. I love this pet store - up until now. They have hired a new employee and she is bringing the store down, Customer service is not the job for Stephanie. Other than her I love this pet store and the groomers too!

Our family has been going to Pet Safari for over 20 years. They always have what we need. I especially want to call out Stephanie for helping me time and time again. She is a great manager with such a good attitude. They beat all the big name pet shops by far in service, personality and stock. The groomers are great too. Our English Bulldog lets them trim his nails and has no issues with them like he did at Pet Smart.
