Took our 3 dogs there for a bath and nails trimmed, couldn't be happier with how they looked when we picked them up. We have taken them other places but they never looked this good. Price was reasonable also, will definitely be using them from now on. Thanks Mr. Scott's

Mr. Scott's is the best. I've used his services for both grooming and boarding and I have been so impressed with the level of care my dog has received. You can tell every member of the staff adores dogs. My dog used to get nervous about grooming and boarding, but she loves the staff so much that it's no longer stressful for her.

I had had a horrible experience here and will NEVER go back! They told me 4 hours for my three dogs to get groomed, I said oh perfect I have to grab my husband from the airport and we'll be back and available for pickup within 2 hours. They said okay perfect. 45 minutes later I get a call that my dogs are ready! I explain that I can be there in about 60-80 minutes as I was quoted 4 hours! They said that if I did not pickup my dogs ASAP I would be abandoning them!
I literally was there within the hour of receiving the call and the wife went on to argue with me And give a horrible attitude! I explained that we have been customers for OVER 10 years and we were never treated so badly before. I paid, tipped them and explained that I would NEVER cone back if my life depended on it. They tried to give me a gift certificate for half of what I paid by leaving it on my door. No thanks! This was a couple years back and I have kept my word. I have never stepped foot back in this facility and recommend no one to go here! They truly do not care about pets!
