What Reviews Say

47 reviews analyzed

Safe & Hound West Linn is overwhelmingly beloved by clients, with 39 of 47 reviews being 5-star. The facility excels in staff friendliness, dog happiness, and individualized care - multiple reviewers specifically name staff members (especially Janice, Curtis, Crystal, Shannon) who treat dogs like family. Grooming services receive exceptional praise, particularly for anxious and large breed dogs. The few negative reviews (4 total) focus on isolated customer service incidents with specific employees (James), grooming experience concerns, and pandemic-era mask policies. The owner responds to every review personally and warmly within 1 day, creating strong community connections. This is clearly a trusted neighborhood fixture with many multi-year repeat customers.
