Worth noting

Driver safety concerns - reports of texting while driving and reckless speeding

On 11-3-25 whoever is driving their branded car likes to blow through stop signs while texting on the phone.

Grooming injury - dog tongue cut during grooming

the groomer cut her tongue. When we we were called there was no mention of it until i picked her up.

Dog injury during stay - hot spot/gash on neck

I picked my dog up and he had a huge sore on the side of his neck.

Deposit policy for grooming services(2 mentions)

They require a $30 deposit for grooming services... I politely declined and will now go elsewhere to have our dog groomed.

Unexpected/hidden charges(3 mentions)

Take great care of the animals, but was surprised by some charges.

Sunday pickup policy/forced Sunday charge

Sunday hours are 2pm-5pm, and you are forced to pay for Sunday no matter what.

Communication issues about fees and policies(2 mentions)

they would tell me 'your dog was not friendly he had to be in a separate room so that is an extra whatever amount to your total'
