Worth noting

Grooming quality inconsistency - nicks, uneven cuts, incomplete services

โ€œI noticed that she had several nicks near her leg. this was never mentioned at pick up!โ€

Communication failures - not informing owners of issues with their pets

โ€œshe told me they were fine (but didn't even ask what my dogs names were???)...WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT TO ME ON THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED AND ASKED ABOUT THEM?โ€

Staff attitude problems - rude front desk behavior

โ€œthe ladies up front are extremely rude & get mad when you call and check on your dog!!!!โ€

Care issues - dog came home smelling of urine, missing bed, food mismanagement

โ€œMy dog smelled like urine, and his dog bed was missing...my dog had run out of food...they had gone through over 20 pounds of food in less than three days.โ€

Too many dogs - overwhelming environment

โ€œToo many dogs. You can't even hear yourself talk. My dogs were scared and my Shepard had a cut on his nose.โ€

Grooming inconsistency(4 mentions)

โ€œThe second visit to the groomer was a big let down...his ears were dirty, his nails had not been done and his coat was full of loose hair.โ€

Staff communication issues(3 mentions)

โ€œThere are a few who have very sassy mouths. Employee E is one of them.โ€

Shot record confusion

โ€œthey told me that he doesn't have the influenza shot...they couldn't take my dog. Even though he was there three days before getting groomed and this was never an issue.โ€
