One has to feel very confident when you are leaving a loved member of the family in the care of a groomer. Once you walk into the door & see the wagging tails under the groomers gentle care you know this is the place to leave your dog with confidence. We take a 15 year old Mini-Schnauzer & a 3 year old YorkiePoo & they both love their fluff & buff hair cuts & nail cutting/grinding treatments.

It was a game-changer! Now on grooming day our little one happily walks US to the door for drop off! The experience is caring and professional. We appreciate that Greg takes the time to listen for any medical updates or special grooming requests, like what we call the "Summer Beach" cut. After each appointment, our guy always looks and smells divine. And he knows it, pretty much prancing back to the car! I want to close by acknowledging I have learned that grooming sessions are about more than "cosmetics", they are also about "quality of life". Greg has made observations and shared suggestions like how to address matting, what/where hot spots are and even when a vet appointment would be wise. I repeat, we are thankful - and we recommend!

I don't know if her clippers were dull but he was shaved with long patches left. His legs were always hand scissored but she shaved them as well. Face was shaved down and patchy. He looks like he was rolling in a field all day. Not soft and fluffy. Wish I could post pics. And I had to cut his bangs which were choppy and crooked. His groom always took a minimum of two hours but she was done in one hour and his ears were wet when I picked him up. we left in -20 c temp. so upset.

The amount of patience they had with my fur baby is amazing. Melanie and Vicky tried different techniques to get Olive to calm down for her clipping and it turned out nothing short of perfect.

Nobody answer at the time, but I thought it was kind of cool to hear their catchy message on the machine...Today this lady called me wondering if I was coming! I explained I left a message to which she said I didn't. She asked if I booked before because my last name sounded familiar. I replied NO I'm an hour drive away, and then she actually said to me: WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY NEW CLIENTS DO NOT CALL AGAIN! She didn't give me the opportunity to explain the reason for my cancelation or to rebook. I would rate her a zero if I could... so ANGRY AND NASTY PERSONALITY! If she is like this with humans I don't want to imagine how would she treat my babies who cannot speak back or defend themselves.

I also visited the guinea pigs. I almost want one. Staff are friendly. I didn't need any fish supplies, but they have everything I need to keep my fish happy. I was simply there to browse. There is plenty of parking at this plaza. (249)

The first time I met J&M, they came by to get to know my pets and collect the key. They took a lot of time saying hi to each cat and learning about her personality. I immediately felt safe leaving my animals in their hands, and from that point I used their services many more times, including over the Christmas holidays. I was always so impressed with their care. They would call if they had any questions, clean up very thoroughly, and write a very cute report of who did what and how much everyone ate. They would also play with my pets and keep a close eye on how everyone was doing, which was impressive because I have two anti-social (ex-feral) cats. I loved coming home and reading about what my pets are up to! I don't have J&M come visit anymore because I moved away from Waterloo, and I deeply miss having such a great resource nearby. I highly recommend Janice and Murray and WPS. They have fair prices and they care very deeply.
