    Freshly groomed pups
    James S.

    The crew here is always spot on. We have never been disappointed. Easy to book, easy drop off and pick up. Highly recommend Animology.

    Did the groomer not realize what he/she was doing? Even the skin was cut!

    My cat went to Animology about 4 times in the past year. She is a Persian and needs a nice fur cut . The cut was always a bit off but I was just happy to have it done. $95.00 was also a bit steep because I'm on disability but now it went up to $120.00 ! I brought my cat home and the fur cut floored me. I have to get the pictures downloaded because you just have to see it.

    I called to make my dog an appointment here to get his haircut. Explained everything I wanted to have done. They said no problem we can do that. Had my husband to drop him off when I went to pick up my dog they charged me $85 to cut his hair and clean his ears and do a full grooming when they brought him out, he looked completely butchered. His haircut was uneven. Hes chopped everywhere. It looked like my three year-old cut his hair when I expressed my dissatisfaction with his hair cut with the lady who worked there she got completely rude and disgruntle told me there was absolutely nothing she could do and basically dismissed me out of the store. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE don't bring your dogs here so terrible.

    The wonderful people at Animology did a wonderful job grooming a litter of 8 nine week old puppies

    The staff are friendly, kind, and always willing to help. They groomers do a wonderful job, and deal well with challenging grooming needs.

    I have a goldendoodle and it's so convenient to bath my big pup. They have it all ready for you. I also get his face trimmed, nails cut, ears cleaned and they even give him a cute bandana and smelling good!

    Cowering after her trip into the back with the nail trimmer

    2 stars because I like the self wash, I come every couple weeks, it's convenient and keeps the mess of washing my dog out of my own house. I'll overlook a lot of things, like raggedy anne grooming/pet supply stores because in my teens and twenties I worked in similar ones. What I WONT overlook, again because I used to work in similar spots as a dog bather is how my dog was treated during a nail trim. I can do her nails myself, but why not spare myself the time and being the "bad guy" and get them done after I finished scrubbing her up. My dog is friendly as can be...doesn't love getting her nails done but puts up with it at home, and at the vet. She's never made a peep for shots, or vet exams, nail trims or anything similar . The young gal came out from the back to grab my puppy, and I offered up a jar of treats I was buying to help coax her in case she was being squirmy.. she replied "oh no I got it" She asked if I wanted a trim or a dremmel too. I said dremmel if she will let you and off they went. Behind closed doors where she wasn't visible. Red flag I know dogs can be buttheads away from their owners, but she's not new to this... The music was up pretty high, and my ears started to perk up at what sounded like screaming...I kept trying to hear what was going on until there was a break in the song and that's when I confirmed it. My dog was SCREAMING like I've never heard her do before. Ever. I asked the other groomer who was standing there nonchalantly if that was my dog and she said yes. Without any other explanation. I immediately told her "ok that's enough, no more" and had her go back to stop what was happening and get me my dog. The girl who took her originally came back up with my dog who was COWERING in her arms (super out of character for her) and again nonchalantly said "oh yeah no dremmel" and passed her off without a second glance. No S*** no dremmel!, because I demanded that whatever you were doing stopped! Normally we leave this place with my 11 month old puppy doing zoomies and happy as ever. Check the photo of how she cowered in the car, the whole truck ride home. I'll never go to this place again and make sure to warn friends and family not to either. These girls had zero compassion and only cared about rushing my dog through and roughly handling her enough to invoke that kind of screaming. Never again.

    I have an embarrassing number of dogs and this place makes all of them so stinking adorable! They get us in quickly, they're professional, and the prices are fair. 10/10 this place is the bee's knees.

    Friendly Grove Resort & Spa for Dogs

    I was a long-time customer of Friendly Grove and trusted them with my dogs for years…read more Unfortunately, that trust was broken after a grooming appointment where one of my doodles came back unable to walk. My husband had to physically carry him out of the vehicle. When I contacted the business, I spoke with Maddy at the front desk, who reassured me that my dog had not sustained an injury while in their care. However, I was not present and was never shown any video footage or documentation to support that claim, which left me with serious concerns about what actually happened. Months later, I received a brief email asking me to update my information in their portal. I responded honestly and shared how unsettled I still felt about the previous incident. Shortly after, a staff member called and said they would be happy to schedule grooming appointments for my dogs since they hadn't been in for a while. However, when I arrived to pick them up, I was told that my dogs were not actually scheduled for grooming but that they "accommodated them anyway." I was then informed that Friendly Grove would no longer be grooming dogs at all. The entire interaction felt incredibly confusing and dismissive, and it came across as though they were simply trying to push us out as customers. They offered a $120 credit for that service and essentially told us to find another groomer. My dogs had been going there for years, and $120 doesn't even cover the cost of a single grooming service. After years of loyalty, the lack of transparency, accountability, and communication was extremely disappointing. I expected far better treatment from a place we trusted with our pets for so long.

    I have taken my girl, Tilly, to Friendly Grove many times. She has spent time at the daycare,…read moreovernight stays and she has been groomed at Friendly Grove. I have not been disappointed at all. Friendly Grove is very clean, the staff have always been nice to work with, and Tilly comes home tired when she has a day of play. I would recommend Friendly Grove to anyone looking for a place to leave your canine family member.

    I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! Most loving dog owners know how hard it is to find…read morea grooming salon you can truly trust. I found K9 Grooming through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. We drive 30 minutes to get here and I won't lie, the salon is pricey. It usually costs me around $300 with trip for a standard Aussie and mini Aussie regular groom. But it is absolutely worth it. My dogs are my babies. We have a 6-year-old Aussie we've had since he was a puppy, and we recently added our rescue mini Aussie who is now 8. Our rescue has extreme anxiety from her past trauma, including living in a hoarding situation. The team here treats both of our dogs like family. I've never once worried about the way they're cared for. The salon is spotless. Anytime I walk into a grooming place that smells like urine or feces or is chaotic with constant barking, it's an instant red flag for me. K9 Grooming is completely different. It's clean, calm, and you can even watch your dogs being groomed so there's no mystery about how they're treated. Recently our neighbor warned us about fleas in the area, so I called K9 as a concerned pet mom. They were so helpful. They told me they'd start with a regular bath and, if they found any fleas, they'd do the treatment and call us so we could prep the house. Sure enough, they found a few a went forward with the flea bath. They provided me with helpful information and next steps. I sincerely appreciate the level of care, transparency, and customer service the staff provide. I could never take my dogs anywhere else after coming here.

    We've been taking our girl Mila here for over 3 years now, and we truly couldn't be happier with…read morethe service. Australian shepherds have very thick double coats, she requires grooming at least every six weeks. From the front desk, all the way back to the groomers they're always so professional, and Mila is always so extremely eager and happy to go there; that says so much. I've had my fair share of very bad grooming experiences, with this very dog. K9 Design Grooming Salon has changed my perspective and Mila's perspective on grooming experiences. We used to live extremely close to the Salon, but we recently bought a house in Olympia and still make the drive! We love K9 Design Grooming!!
