Worth noting

Poor owner response to grooming complaints

I was told the owner and all she said to me was sorry you dont like the cut. But their hair will grow back.. No care or concern what so ever.

Potential water deprivation concern

When i picked my dog up she acted as she had been without water the entire time she was there

Staff attitude problem

Awful attitude from Shannon. Will never be back

Dishonesty allegations about availability

They continue to lie and say they are booked for months

Long grooming wait times(5 mentions)

I dropped him off at 12:00 and he wasn't ready to be picked up until almost 5:00. I understand that grooming takes time, however, five hours seems a little excessive.

Inconsistent pricing(2 mentions)

Only thing is I don't know why it is a different price each time shouldn't it be consistent

Grooming quality issues(3 mentions)

The quality of his grooming was sub-par as best. Uneven and gaps in quite a few places
