Hazel and Cheyenne look forward to seeing Lydia every time. When we want a quick and affordable grooming, Pawsitivity is our first and only choice. They are great! From personal experience, I would suggest anyone to take their pet there for the greatest care. And that is our little Lulu in their profile picture! They treated her like royalty, whenever she went in. Super detailed care and a humane disposition is what makes them our premier groomer.

They will cancel your appointment and will not notify you. In January my cavalier was scheduled for…read morea groom; normally Gail would send a text and confirm but she didn't. I called and was told she was going to have abdominal surgery. I am sure this was unavoidable but don't you think you should give your client's a head up. Was I supposed to drive all the way there and find out the appointment was canceled. Also when our appointment was rescheduled, we sat directly in front of the window and no one came to door. The closed sign was out and the front light was not turned on. Someone did peek out the window and knew we were there but did not come to the door. While sitting there another groomer came to work; so at least two people knew we were there. No respect for her clients. Don't waste your time here. In addition if they treat humans this way what about your pet?

I really appreciate the personal touch from Gwen's. Our groomer is Bree and she is so kind, patient…read moreand tolerant with our dogs. Once I brought in our standard poodle and he was such a mess! I didn't realize how matted he was from two months of no grooming. Bree was so sweet and kind, she cleaned him up and called me to tell us that his tail would have to be shaved because it was so matted. She wanted to make sure it was alright with us. I know that our dog has great and loving care when he is there. I schedule his appointments early in the morning, around 730am with Bree. Our dog is the only one Bree works on at this time and he's usually done in 2 hours. This is unlike PetSmart in which you drop off your dog in the am and then pick up in the pm because they do so many dogs at once. I know our dog is not going to be placed wet and cold into a crate while the groomer works on another dog. We are from the West Coast and when we moved here we didn't know where to go for grooming. We had two poodles but one has since passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Poodles need good and patient groomers. Gwen's has been great with my request not to have our white poodle be shaved with a size 40 razor since he is sensitive and gets skin burns easily. The cons are that they are disorganized with scheduling. There have been several times when I have scheduled an appointment, I called to confirm, and then being told there is no appointment. We were very spoiled by our previous groomer on the West Coast. She was an excellent groomer. She did not require yearly immunizations for our dogs. Another con is that we must have yearly immunizations for our dogs. If you are a holistic pet owner and you want to vaccinate every 3 years, then you could not bring your dog here. On a scale of 1-10, Gwen's grooming is a 7. It is not excellent. I have had two excellent groomers in the past. It is not bad grooming either. I would rate this as above average. I can live with the cons as long as I know my dog is safe and being groomed individually. I am confident Gwen's will take excellent care of my dog.

Not with $20 let alone $126. Here are pics of her recent groom job yesterday. I asked that they keep her long and that didn't happen and instead even shaved her bald in sections and very uneven everywhere. She didn't even have any mats yet, but that was her excuse. The pics don't even do it justice. Update: The owner did reach out and refunded the visit. She did want me to bring my dog back in for her to see (which I initially took offense to as if she didn't believe the obvious pictures but that is not why according to her).By then it would not look exactly the same since I had to do something to try to even things out while it grew out and I didn't want to cause my dog undue stress since I was not going to have anyone else mess with her at this time.. Luckily, it will grow back and eventually be back to normal but would be hard for me to be okay with same shop even with different groomer at this point.
