What Reviews Say
108 reviews analyzedChixie is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 90+ of 108 reviews giving 5 stars. The facility excels at grooming quality and clearly has a passionate owner (Monica) who builds long-term relationships with clients—many customers have been coming for years. The main criticisms center on communication gaps (wait times, vaccination policies, unexpected fees) and a few isolated concerning incidents about dog welfare. The owner responds professionally to all reviews, including negative ones, and addresses concerns thoughtfully. This is primarily a grooming destination with daycare/boarding as secondary services, and the app for watching dogs during daycare is a popular feature.
