I found out about As The Tail Wags. From reading an ad about PEMF Therapy for dogs. I brought my 13 year old dog in to give it a try. It was fantastic. The therapy has been helping my dog feel more alive with arthritis and laxating Patella. The pulse therapy, combined with the nail clips have helped my dog not slip, and seems to be helping curb the stiffness. The women that work there love animals, and show my dog almost the same affection I give her. read more

My poodle Bunni loves the groomer/owner at As the Tail Wags in Oviedo. Today the owner had the grandchildren in her shop and Bunni loved it. Christy is a very experienced groomer. She always does exactly what I need. Bunni loves her and she doesn't just get shoved in a cage after the groom. Christy treats her customers - both 2-legged and 4-legged - with kindness and efficiency. She is knowledgeable about pets and has given good advice over the decades I've been going there. read more

The lady / owner literally allowed her largest dog to defecate in front of the Breakfast restaurant sidewalk! She did NOT return to retrieve it, yes she saw her dog do it! We waited in disbelief! She should always carry a bag because she walks all her dogs to the corner yard. I was kind enough to retrieve it and left it at her front door . read more

Never been here, but I recently read an article about the amazing gift this place gave to a suffering dog, and if you are fortunate enough to be close enough to this place, clearly they will take care of you and your pet. I'm in south Florida, too far to go here regularly, but if I am in the area, I'm bringing my dogs! https://apple.news/AJsZlUVeNST2GbwZFCL7YZQ read more

I wouldn't recommend this groomer to anyone, and I'll never return. The space is unappealing, and the grooming quality is mediocre--but it's their questionable business practices and poor customer service that really compel me to warn others. They initially told me the appointment would take about two hours, which is typical. However, I was notified just 30 minutes later that my dog was ready, suggesting the service was rushed. This was inconvenient, as I had driven home and then immediately had to come back. The real issue, though, was the pricing. I booked online, where the price was advertised as "starting at $47," yet I was charged nearly DOUBLE - $90. Then, after I'd already paid and left, they called me back to refund $10 because they charged me incorrectly. But the final charge was still significantly more than expected based on their own website's list of prices. I understand minor increases for special add-ons and extra services, but it's hard to justify such a steep up-charge for my 7-pound dog--especially one who's well-behaved, not matted, and doesn't have a curly coat. When I questioned the price, the staff gave conflicting responses. First, they claimed the website was outdated, which I think is an unacceptable excuse. Then, the owner blamed me for not selecting the correct service, even though I specified the breed and a "small" dog groom when making the appointment. Beyond that, they obviously saw her size and coat upon arrival and before charging me. Lastly, she changed the story, insisting the website price is accurate but shrugged off the discrepancy with a dismissive, apathetic attitude. In the end, I was left frustrated and without a clear explanation for why I was charged 70% more than the advertised price. To top it off, they never asked for my dog's vaccination records, which raises serious health concerns considering how many dogs were packed into the small space. Not only does it feel irresponsible, but it also suggests they may not follow standard health practices. Overall, the lack of transparency and accountability along with a rushed, unimpressive groom was entirely disappointing. I'd advise others to look elsewhere. read more

Booked my appointment, got a confirmation email, show up on time and I'm told 'we are not grooming today". No heads up, no call, nothing, no attempt to rebook. Vertmr poor business management and customer service. They have also rescheduled last minute in the past or called to have me bring in my pet early. Always about their convenience never about the customer​​ read more

Kristie took great care of my baby for me. I had a rescue in need of some love, a good bath and a nail trim. The pup was understandably nervous around new people, but when I picked her up she was cuddling her and so at ease. She smelled wonderful, looked like a new dog with her cleaned fur and face, and her nails were grounded down perfectly. I'd come back to Kristie in a heartbeat for her services and how she treated our foster pup with such care. read more

As The Tail Wags - You see the marks and missed hair - Pet Groomers Near Me - Oviedo, Florida

It has been several years now, but I can only discuss what happened without fuming rage now. Given it's still in operation and under the same ownership all I can say is I could never trust this place with my animals again. I dropped off my dog here in perfectly healthy condition and when I picked him up he was unable to stand on his own and acted as if he suffered a stroke. The staff had to help me pick him up to get him in my vehicle. I rushed him to the emergency vet to discover his neck had two herniated disc's -an ailment he never had prior. Two surgeries later, a moment where I had 30 minutes before I had to say put him to sleep if he didn't wake and 8 months of therapy to follow, to the total tune of 18000 dollars..... Worst part is they followed up days later, and when I told them they refused to take any responsibility. I had paid full price for the groom before I could leave. Even after explaining, and at that point it was unclear if he would make it....they did not even offer to refund the service. Not even the human kindness for that. If you use them, please take note of all your pets health. Take pictures, video, etc. Get the evidence of their condition going in. You may need it. read more

Went there and I ask for help on the price for a 9lb dog and they said we would be happy to . And every time. I went the price would go up and up . I understand if they couldn't help me but don't say yes we can and every visit the price goes up . And when I spoke up they went crazy on me . read more

I LOVE "As the Tail Wags Grooming" They are my forever groomers! The shop has such positive energy very open and welcoming. Megan greeted me and my 2 maltipoo's Cooper and Lola, she was friendly and professional handling the puppies. She asked what kind of cut I wanted and took a picture of what I showed her. When I picked them up I met Kristie the owner she was so sweet! She gave me an envelope with clippings from their first haircut it's those thoughtful little things that sets this shop apart and makes me want to come back. Thank you Kristie and Megan read more

Usually take my Willa girl to a large chain to get her nails grinded. She's 14 so a little sensitive to new places and people touching her paws. Due to the pandemic the large chain wouldn't take only getting her nails done. After a few suggestions from others in the community I decided to try As The Tail Wags a chance and I'm so glad I did. The owner came out to Willa as she could tell she was scared and not wanting to go inside too far. She was gentle and soothing with her and done within 5 minutes. I think it's safe to say we found a new local business to support who treats my Willa girl with compassion read more

Took my nervous pup to see the groomer and they did amazing with her. They said she calmed down after I left and did great. She doesn't require a lot because she's got short hair but her ears were super clean and she was a happy pup. Definitely recommend! They are experienced with all kinds of breeds and temperaments. read more

Kristie and her staff are amazing with my girls. One is 12yo and one 3yo Havanese and they hate baths but they love Kristie and Tanya. I have never picked them up when they were not groomed immaculately. Kristie works with their personalities and keeps them calm the entire time. My grand dog, a big German Shepard is also groomed by Kristie. Highly recommend. read more

We've been using "As The Tail Wags" for almost a decade. Our family has always had golden's and without a doubt, Kristie and her staff not only do a fantastic job but truly love animals. Priced right, great people and superior grooming. Do not hesitate to bring your pet here. I should have reviewed this business years ago. I wish that I could give 6 stars! read more

Typically closed on Mondays, but I happened to see the open sign lit and stopped in to see if they could do an emergency bath for my golden. The owner was there and told me to bring her in and she would get it done even though I had to go home to get the dog. Dropped her off and went to go get groceries. Was called as I​ was leaving Publix to say she was done. I was a little worried at the quick turnaround that she may not be completely​ dry, but I was happy to pick up a completely​ dry clean smelling dog. No small feat with a golden in that short of a time frame. The price was less than I expected and the service was exceptional. This is coming from someone who has worked in the veterinary industry for over 25 years. read more

Pretty disappointed in their complete lack of customer service! The woman on the phone laughed at me when I explained what I had recently done to maintain my dogs coat after they shaved her down to the skin without so much as checking in with me first. I have been here several times in the past few years but I can safely say that this was the last time. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. The experience wasn't just negative it was completely insulting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***Update***Now someone claiming to have been there when I dropped my dog off and when I called hours later is attacking me in the compliments section of YELP. Stating that I the lack of customer service was my fault and that if I had cared for my dog that this wouldn't have happened. Clearly this is an employee trying to stage themselves as a fellow customer to defend the poor behavior of the establishment. Pretty sad. ***Update 3:50PM*** I am now being attacked again and told that Animal Protective Services should have been called for neglect, BWHAHAHAHAHA. This establishment is disgusting. Attacking their customers for providing a review on their terrible service. Its sickening how far they will go to not take responsibility for poor service. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS! Kate E. Oviedo, FL 43 2/3/2016 The first time I took my dog to Kristie, I liked her a lot. She is very friendly and the services are reasonably priced, but I'm afraid that after my third experience with this groomer, I will not be taking my pet back there. I was taken back the second and third time I visited Kristie when she told me that my dog was too matted to leave any fur left on his body, not even on his head. My dog gets brushed three times a week due to his long fur. He had no knots on his body. I honestly just think its either laziness or a lack of knowledge when it comes to grooming dogs that keeps this groomer from actually giving my dog a proper grooming instead of just a shave-down. And this time I didn't notice until a little later that my dog was shaved so closely that his lip was scraped on one side with the clippers. He has no hair and blood spots on his upper lip on one side do to how close of a shave he was given. I am so upset with this. I paid for my dog to get taken care of properly and he comes back with a cut on his face. I will not be returning to this groomer. read more

I took a very nervous older dog in and they treated him wonderfully, I could not ask for a better service . I will be there every 3 months to get my dog taken care of. All I can say is thank you for taking such good care of my older puppy read more

I will never take my dogs any where else! Kristie came recommended to me by a friend and co-worker and I have been going to see her for the last several years. I will have to admit that the prices are a little higher than some other companies but she is well worth it! We tried a couple other places to try and save money but we always came back to Kristie. She is very friendly and so professional. Her entire staff is amazing and truly know what they are doing. There were a couple times I forgot to schedule an appointment and called to see if I could bring both my dogs in and she always says yes; one time was Mother's day weekend! I will never forget that and recommend her to anyone I can. read more

I will NEVER bring my dog in here again . She is 10 years old and has had grooms her whole ljfe. She has never been told she was difficult. The only this her face. We have moved around and been to multiple places. The person on the phone called me and was so rude on the phone saying my 10 lb dog was difficult. When I get there she loudly talks about my dog . Sne also was not even close to being done after repeatedly telling them I had to get my son. She them went on to blame for not being done. She should be reported for the way she talks to people and I will never ever bring her again. I will be also. Letting my mom groups and local group show unprofessional this place is. Shame on this business. If they can't handle dogs, then don't groom Update- I went to another place today and told them that I was told she was difficult. When I went to pick her up the had nothing but nice things to say and then went on to say how she was giving the staff kisses. They were also done in an hour half with my dog being groomed and my other bathed. read more

The girls at As The Tail Wags have taken care of all of our furbabies for years. Whenever we had unfortunately a sick dog the staff always checked and if we needed anything offering extra bathing. Would not trust anyone else with our babies even the new crazy one's. They always fulfill our request of just a bath, mini groom for those in between visits or a full from to get them all spiffy. Kristie has even accommodated us on very short notice for a bath. After grooming our Cockapoo years ago and my husband not understanding the groom standard look they were more than happy on our next visit to keep her face a little longer (not like a poodle) to make sure hubby was satisfied, never had to ask again as they noted her information in the computer. read more
