Busy establishment. The receptionist chappie seemed a little overwhelmed, as when I arrived at 8am…read moresharp another three people walked in with pets at the same time and not all had appointments. I have no issue with the price - I read other reviews where clients complain about the charges but they need an education. I guess this place has more customers than they can handle (great!) which was borne out by my impression of a lack of customer service - otherwise I would give 5 stars. The only issue I had is as follows: Bottom Line- is the cat made it out alive - with only two nails cut and bleeding so we should be thankful. Other than that he was clean and fur trimmed and smelled of roses - I did want to address the bleeding nails issue though and called back to speak to Bianca the owner and left two messages with the receptionist for her but no return call. Unimpressed with this. Customer advice now: If your groomer injures (or cuts accidentally) any pet, I as they owner like to be the first to know - tell me when I arrive to collect little Schnoz, and not have me find out when I get home and the cat winces when I pick her up and I see blood on her paws. I'm not being too dramatic either - just tell me when I come to collect the animal... like: "Hi Mr Blobby, I'm afraid Bob our groomer had a little difficulty bathing your cat Schmucko, and when clipping his nails, two of them were cut a little too close to the quick and bled a but please don't worry, he's fine now but we apologize- and be assured he will probably do better next time once he's more familiar with our staff...." Now if you told me something along those lines when I arrived to collect little Schmucko - fine....I'd be absolutely fine with it. By the way I am a military veteran so used to seeing a bit more than Fido's uncomfortable toes - so please know I'm definitely not being overly dramatic at all- it's all relative. I was more upset that I wasn't told promptly and didn't get a call back from the owner. The cat can and will get over it! As for the staff - no one has "time" for the customers as they are so busy. Again, customer service would do well here because clients need to be reassured of quality service and prompt and efficient grooming. Having been told "one hour" but in the end it took three hours: not a biggie again but do try and manage customers' expectations. Tell me' "It may take three hours but we might be done earlier and will let you know." The reception rooms smells bad - dog and cat funk and wet matted hair and poop all mixed together. Get the ventilation going. As I said, the cat made it out in one piece so we will return again but not for a while. It would have been nice to get a call back. One week later and I don't think it's going to happen.

I cannot praise Stephanie enough. This was my first time bringing my golden retriever Oona and I…read morewas a little nervous at first because she's my baby. From the moment I walked in, Stephanie greeted Oona as if she'd known her forever. I believe dogs can truly feel a person's energy and my dog immediately went to her with no hesitation. The salon was extremely clean and actually smelled good surprisingly. Steph explained to me the cut she thought would be best and we went with her recommendation. When I came back and saw Oona, she looked beautiful! I loved the cut. They mentioned to me that my baby had diarrhea and was vomiting throughout the visit , but I was extremely grateful that instead of being annoyed or shaming her, they genuinely cared about her and showed concern. Thankfully that all went away by the next day, and the vet thinks it was just nerves. Once again, this place was just wonderful from beginning to end. Steph is an all star! If you're thinking about bringing your fur baby here, do it! You truly won't regret it.

Jess at Best Friends Pet Grooming Salon is nothing short of MAGIC. I don't use that word lightly --…read morewhat she did for my Frenchie, Louie, honestly blew me away. Nail trims have always been a huge issue for us, especially at the vet. They would leave his nails too long, and over time the quick kept growing out, turning his nails into literal bear claws. It got to the point where I didn't think we'd ever get them back to a normal, healthy length. I originally found Jess for my labradoodle Mabel and just happen to ask her about my Louie's nails . Not only did she trim his nails as short as safely possible, she did it with incredible gentleness and patience. Louie was calm, comfortable, and completely at ease -- which NEVER happens. But what truly sets Jess apart is her knowledge and care. She's actively working on helping the vein recede over time so his nails can return to a normal length instead of those "eagle talons." Who even does that?! That level of attention, skill, and dedication is so rare. Jess doesn't just groom -- she genuinely cares about your dog's long-term health and comfort. I'm beyond grateful we found her. If you have a dog with difficult nails or any grooming challenges, Jess is the one. Truly one of a kind.

I hope this can be resolved without me having to call again and be lied to *again.* I've had public-facing jobs almost my whole life, and I know how people can be. I'm not one of those people. This has just been an all-around poor experience. :/ *********** Update: Just tried calling and they insisted that no one from Petco responds to Google reviews and were kind of rude about it. Suggested that maybe corporate would respond and I said, ok, then corporate told me to call you, which they then also refuted. Went from two stars down to one. Should be zero. Avoid. See photos for his paws. I'll spare you the butt pic, ha. ------ I hate having to leave this review. I don't much care about how my dog looks (he's always cute), but because he's a mini schnauzer, he requires grooming. I don't expect perfection from a Petco groom, but I do expect someone to do their best. What I got was almost nothing done. His paws were not trimmed/cleaned up (nails were clipped but still a bunch of hair in his paw pads), it looks like he wasn't trimmed around the face or ears *at all* with the exception of his eyebrows, which is actually one of the things meant to be longer on a schnauzer. There was also no sanitary trim. He still has a ton of hair around his butt and pee area. All that said, the groomer was very nice and pleasant (the two stars are for this only), but I'd rather have someone rude that will actually do the job, ya know?
