Staff shoutouts
Worth noting
Improper handling of double-coated breeds (Scottish Terrier shaved down to undercoat)
“They shaved down my 9 year old Scottish Terrier—a double coated dog—down to his undercoat! He was NOT matted as I brush him regularly!”
Significant deviation from requested grooming (golden retriever tail/legs cut against instructions)
“Our Bugz came back to us completely cut: his long fluffy tail is so short and stubby now, his leg wings are GONE. In our original request there was NOTHING that requested a CUT.”
Communication issues around grooming expectations(2 mentions)
“Communication especially when you have certain particular expectations is very important.”
Scheduling/appointment management problems
“They moved the appointment window by about 5 hours... they said they wouldn't arrive until the end of the window.”
