Highly recommend this place to bring your fur-babies. My Sher-Khan is so well taken care of by the staff who work here. I really wish I knew the names of the lovely ladies who took care of us today, 10/10/20. A lovely young blonde lady greeted us and the groomer a brunette with short hair (my apologies for not recalling names and giving due credit) were nothing short of professional, amazing, and went out of their way to take care of us. With such a high caliber of customer service I will never go elsewhere. My fur baby and family thank you for your exceptional service.

I always go to Devin for her outstanding work on my cats, however, this time I did go to Rose because I was in a rush to get my cats seen (I still love Devin). Rose did such an amazing job, she was literally the sweetest person I have ever come across, while washing my cats she did notice a couple of things and she did bring it to my attention which I was so grateful for. I cannot express how much this place is wonderful. Thank you so much for what you guys do!

!!! I am back again to review once more on how AMAZING and AWESOME this place is to bring your fur children to get groomed and pampered! Devyn (hoping that's how her name is spelled teehee!) is soooo INCREDIBLY amazing with my Persian baby WEDNESDAY! always leaving my baby so nice and cleaned and well groomed! When My baby Wednesday came back from being groomed by her she was VERY HAPPY!! Shows me how much love and attention devyn was giving her while she was being pampered !! She is the most caring and nurturing kitty whisperer I've met and I'm so happy how well the staff takes care of the kitties and are so attentive to their every needs! Devyn was so kind and sweet to give my boyfriend whom was his first visit yesterday a tour of the center! A MILLION THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! keep SHINING ON will be bringing wednesday back for another bath and nail trim soon devyn!!

My kitten got her first grooming here! She had massive knots all over her and they gave her the best lion cut ever! She looks adorable and seemed very content after I picked her up:) I will definitely be coming back here for her regular grooming !

Me and my baby.

I can't say enough good things about this place. They're always very nice and very accommodating. I discovered this place when my last groomer shut down due to the covid. They cut my baby's fur, and put up with his crazy antics. (He's not a fan of the groomers!) Well done, thank you!

Do you offer cameras in the areas to watch your cat if boarding?

What did we need for our cat to get groomed?

Hi Jo Anna G., thank you for your question. In order for cats to be groomed, we require that they are current on the Rabies vaccine at least 7 to 10 days prior to their appointment. We also require to see the paperwork stating the Rabies vaccine… Read more

Are we able to be with our cat during the grooming? We've had some bad experiences with other groomers and want to be with our cat during the process.

How much do you charge per day for cat boarding? I have an older cat who needs a loving place to stay for a week. Thanks.

The cost per night is 60

Hi I have 3 kittens that really need a flea bath, are you guys able to take them a flea bath with no vaccines?

Hi Melanie. Thank you for your question. We do require that kittens be old enough to receive their rabies vaccine and we highly recommend kittens be vaccinated for FVRCP (due to undeveloped immune system).

Do you provide dental services?

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your question. We don't offer any dental services.

Do you provide nail trim and how much?

Hi Svetlana. We do offer nail trims for $18 (all 4 paws).

Hi Tamarah. We charge $50 per night. If you cat was boarding for 3 weeks (at least 21 days) we offer a 10% discount.

How much is a grooming session, like to shave the cat for summer? I looked on the website and here and no prices are listed

Hi Erin. The shaves are $85 for a Lion Cut and $95 for a Kitten Clip. They each include the haircut, bath, ear cleaning, nail trim, face cleaning, and blow dry.

Im in the process of moving and I have 3 kittens that aren't vaccinated yet or altered but I do intend to take care of that. What are your requirements for a cat to stay with you guys?

Hi Kimberly, We do require that all cats be at least 6 months old, spay/neutered and up-to-date on their FVRCP & Rabies vaccines. If a cat(s) does not meet those… Read more

My cat was so much more comfortable with her and Monica got all her mats out and executed the lion cut perfectly!

They are very accommodating. Really nice people. My dog was a bad girl, they tried to cut her but…read moreshe didn't cooperate.

I am extremely late on posting a review on this place as I had received services about 3 years ago…read morewhen I first moved to the area. I hope that the delay in posting stresses how bad it actually was, because I still think about it until this day. And any time I drive past this place I get mad all over again about how much they traumatized my dog (and me because I can't ever trust places like this again, especially because they run a day care too). My dog, a small chihuahua terrier mix, was visiting for a basic grooming and bath. I couldn't imagine it would take more than an hour, so I waited in the lot. When it was past the hour I followed up. They said it will take four hours. Two hour mark came. We receive the call that they had to put him in the kennel because he was biting. I know dog parents say this a lot, but my dog would literally never... he has had baths, and yes, he is scared of blow drying (which we have received feedback on before, but never to the point of biting or causing harm). Otherwise he does very well. So now just imagine... your scared baby, fearful and soaking wet in a kennel waiting to "air dry" all because of some incompetent staff that doesn't know how to groom small dogs. Sitting there for the remaining two hours since it apparently takes four hours to groom a dog less than 15 lbs. And FYI.. we obviously did not go back to this groomer, and went to someone who said he did perfectly fine. He was well behaved and yes scared of blow dryer but not combative at all. If you care about your dog like a child, Please do not ever go here.

Updating this from 2 to 3 stars since this was addressed personally by the manager…read more I honestly wish I would have read the more mixed/negative reviews on Google before bringing my rescue dog here. She was testing out the place for a few days and we started off by leaving her 1-2 hours a day, she was nervous of course, as a dog should be going into a new place. The weekend crew were extremely kind to her when she barked and calmed her down. But come Monday, there was a new person in the den and instead of trying to calm an anxious dog, he squirt her with a bottle multiple times to get her to stop barking. Which if you know anything about dogs, you should never do that to an anxious pup. We really liked it up until today, so just beware. Thankfully we were able to watch it all on camera and picked her up the second we felt it was getting out of hand. A note for the owner - please try to find alternative ways to help a dog who is struggling to settle. Spraying them in the face and chest multiple times is an ineffective way to stop an unwanted behavior. This is extremely detrimental to their behavioral development and only causes more fear.

Updating stars as the store manager addressed this with me personally…read more This review is for the big curly headed guy who works there. Everyone else understands that a dog who is nervous and barking should be comforted. This guy just keeps spraying water towards the dog instead. She came home soaken wet. Extremely unprofessional especially on a dog's first week. The other employees did well and comforted her, but he should not be in the room with dogs.

My silly little dog is NOTORIOUS for being difficult to bathe and groom at home. I usually end up…read morebeing the one getting the bath, and her nails take us multiple days (one paw a day until she's all done). Because of this, I decided "heck, I can afford for someone else to do this if it makes my life easier." I could not be happier with the deals and multi-visit packages being offered here. For $400, I got a total of 10 visits for the year! Granted, she is on the mini side of things, but if you look at prices literally anywhere else... this kind of deal is unheard of. To top this all off, my Pebbles is an anxious chatty type and a drama queen all in one, which has been a frequent complaint we have received from other groomers since she was a puppy. Here, she's heard and appreciated as a funny little girl with a big heart and personality. I also included some pics of my girl for reference on the price that I paid. AND for all dog parents reading this, keep in mind the price also varies by the weight of your furry friends.

I am extremely sad to give this update, because my dog Dillon has been going to Andy's for a while…read moreand they've always been very good about fitting him into the schedule & just being overall cool people to deal with. He always comes back smelling well and they give him a seasonal handkerchief around his neck. Little touches that made the pricey de-shedding and grooming fees worth it ($125 for a grooming of large dog, 85lbs). I wanted to simply address this to a manager via email to show photos, but their contact form on the site is impersonal and gives no email address and no opportunity to upload photos. On his last visit on Friday, my dog came home panting and not wagging his tail. I just thought he missed me, but it felt out of place, more like a "hyperventilation" type panting. I didn't think anything of it until the next day, as I was petting him, I felt bloody scabs across his head. Till today I find more that's hidden in his long fur. I'm super sad because Andy's has done a great job with his de-shedding, and I know it's no easy task with his fur. But, he is the mildest-mannered service animal for kids with autism. He doesn't bite or bark or squirm, so to have big gashes like this on multiple parts of his skin after a grooming is a red flag. I won't be sending him to Andy's anymore. Very sad about it, but this isn't how you treat a dog or long-time customer. You disclose the cuts and address how to help treat them.
