What Reviews Say

36 reviews analyzed

Ardy's For Paws is highly regarded for its technical grooming expertise, particularly with small breeds and show-quality cuts, with many customers remaining loyal for over a decade. While the owner, Ronny, is frequently praised for his skill and passion, there are isolated but serious complaints regarding physical nicks, pet distress, and inconsistent communication when other staff members handle the grooming. Overall, it is a top-tier choice for breed-specific styling, though some customers find the front-desk interactions and wait times lacking.

Worth noting

Physical injury during grooming

โ€œMy little Ellie has multiple cuts on her body. Her hair is uneven and patchy.โ€

Extreme pet distress/illness post-visit

โ€œMy dog threw up and peed on the floor the minute he got home, which makes me very concerned.โ€

Rude customer service/Breed discrimination(2 mentions)

โ€œThey discriminate dogs... they didn't wanna take her because she will be a big dog some day... the man who answered was very rude.โ€

Long wait times

โ€œI drop her off when they open and don't get a call that she's ready for 7-8 hours.โ€

Communication/Pricing transparency

โ€œclearly asked for ONLY a hygienic shave... At pick up was charged $70 and informed they're a 'full-service' groomer, providing services NEVER requested.โ€
