Silky smooth

I have a 10 month old beautiful Pomeranian named, Jack. I've had him groomed 5x by 5 different groomers, Donna being the latter of which and officially Jack's permanent groomer. Jack has had mats the last 5 months behind his ears from an E collar from being fixed. I didn't even notice them until recently but Donna took care of it. I purchased jack when he was 3 months old. He has always had natural looking braids behind his ear that I was particularly fond of. I didn't mention this to Donna, as I thought the braids were natural and no other groomer was able to fix it. I picked up jack 2 hours after I dropped him off and he looked and felt like a completely different dog. I comb jack everyday so I thought he always looked his best. But now I can confidently say, he does look his best. Donna grooms every dog herself so your dog gets a more personalized experience. Say goodbye to the place that calls you 2 days before your dogs grooming trying to schedule you with a different groomer, and say hello to Donna! Jack and I both thank you very much!

Alli in her bandana she got after her bath

Alli girl had a great time for her first ever groomer experience. She had a bath, nail trim, and sanitary trim. She is a very anxious dog but when I picked her up she did not seem nervous or scared at all. I feel comfortable leaving her there as they are very caring she has never felt so soft or smelt so good! Thank you Central Bark!

Donna did a great job grooming my dog. She is very friendly and professional as well. I think we have finally found our dog groomer in this area. The only thing I didn't like is how her haircut was on her tail but I think that was more communication issues on my part.

Post visit.

See all

The customer service at Pet Supplies Plus, Johnson City, Tennessee is exceptional. We've always…read morebeen warmly greeted when we go into the store, everyone is helpful, and the willingness to go above and beyond to help out a customer in distress is outstanding. On one of our trips there, our vehicle ended up with a flat tire. Two PSP employees immediately offered to help us get the flat tire changed out to the spare. In no time they had us taken care of and back on the road to go to an important appointment. That meant everything to know people were there willing to help us.

My husband Chris and myself have taken our seven-month-old Australian Shepherd, Nori, to Pet…read moreSupplies Plus twice for grooming. Her first visit was also her first professional grooming. We paid for a full groom with the Spoiled Puppy upgrade. The groomer was unable to finish her nails because Nori had reached her limit and said two groomers might be needed next time. We appreciated that she recognized Nori's stress and did not force her to continue. Unfortunately, our second visit was upsetting. Nori was checked in at 1:30 p.m. for a bath, brush, luxury shampoo, and conditioner. We returned to the store around 2:00 and did some shopping while we waited. We could hear Nori barking and howling, but we decided it would be better to leave rather than let her see us and become more upset. I do want to mention that the store associate who checked us out, also named Chris, was very friendly and professional. He checked on me twice while I was shopping to see if I needed help and was very pleasant during checkout. After leaving the store, we continued waiting to hear that Nori was ready. At 2:46, we received a message stating that her bath had not yet been started and referring to Nori several times as "he" and "him." This felt very impersonal, especially since it was supposedly the same groomer who had worked with her before. At 3:11, we were told the groomer could not safely complete the bath because Nori was extremely anxious, snapping at the water and biting the hose, bottles, and grooming tethers. The oatmeal shampoo was rinsed out, but the conditioner and remainder of the service were not completed. The groomer and team leader agreed that stopping was safest. I believe Nori was behaving as they described. She is a high-energy, seven-month-old puppy, and after waiting so long in an unfamiliar and stressful environment, she was likely frightened and having a temper tantrum. I also understand that this behavior can be intimidating to someone who does not know her. They did not charge us, and I appreciate that they stopped rather than risking Nori's safety or the groomer's. However, the long wait before beginning her appointment, the incorrect references to her as a male, and the inability to manage a young, anxious puppy left us concerned about the grooming experience available for dogs who need extra patience and handling. Nori came home very stressed, and the experience was upsetting for all of us. We were told on her report card, we would need to have a discussion before bringing her back.? WHAT!.. Nori had a scheduled appointment and you over booked causing stress and chaos for a puppy. We will not be back for grooming, supplies, or anything else. EVER!

My husband and I started with these folks over 10 years ago. The quality of care they provide for…read moreour animals is, for the most part, excellent. Personal service, such as cleaning your animal up after an excretion was not good once, and that was very disappointing, but in every other way, their service has been exemplary. Pricing is, yes, high, but you're paying for your vet to take the time to do the research for challenging health issues. You're also paying for the cost of using equipment for testing that they have invested in to provide a more comprehensive overall diagnostic experience for your pet. While we DO feel that some pricing is grossly overinflated with respect to markups for most products; including prescriptions you can get at Chewy.com far more reasonably, which we are now doing; we also feel our vet IS taking the time to answer our questions and provide the most up-to-date information available, even if they need to research and verify afterward for the most accurate info. With respect to appointment time issues, we ARE aware that when an emergency comes up where an animal requires IMMEDIATE treatment, we may need to wait and we RESPECT that. If it were our animal in need, we would expect timely service as well.

Service was ok at best, very expensive. When I let the dr know they had a reaction to shots I was…read moreasked what the reaction was, I told after telling her what happened that is not an allergic reaction. We have since found a new vet. I recommend paws of hope vet clinic %. They are amazing the people who work there love their jobs and you can tell it. Unlike this vet office that don't even greet you when you walk in. I believe because they are the only clinic besides an emergency clinic in town is why her prices are so high.
