I brought my very skittish dog in today for a long-overdue nail clipping. She was super-nervous and cowering and trying to crab walk away. The staff were extremely calm and confident with her, lifted her onto the table and clipped her nails in less than 5 mins. My dog didn't even flinch. I am so happy and will definitely be going back.

The receptionist was polite but the cat groomer was rude and with an attitude when I was asking for more information about the services. Would not trust him my pet or any other pets.

Got my cat's claws trimmed here and he is famously dramatic about it when I try to do it. Both of the owners were very quick, friendly, and gentle with him. It was $20 and less than 5 mins total. I will be booking appointments with them in the future and coming back to buy pet supplies!

Great service - I have used Stinky's over the years for pet sitting and nail trims for my cat Stevie. The team really knows what they are doing, and are always reliable and professional. I feel grateful to have such a wonderful spot in my neighborhood.

Excellent job with my dog's nails. I have been looking for a new local business to get my chihuahua's nails trimmed. Finding a new place was a challenge during a pandemic, but the owner responded promptly to my email inquiry on the current protocols in her store and best way to schedule an appointment. Once there, it took about 5 minutes, in and out, which I appreciated as my dog has some anxiety issues. His nails look awesome and I am very happy. Clearly I'm not a big spender on grooming and I always am thankful for a business that welcomes my dog and does a great job.
