I have yet to risk taking my very slobbery chocolate Labrador Toby into any groomers simply because…read morei'm afraid he will lick them to death and never be able to go back. I groom him myself but if I was going to trim him up I would definitely take hime into Molly's. My friend takes her massive labra-doddle there for her pampering treatment and having seen Betty just yesterday I can say they do a fine job. My friend trusts them, she tells me they are reasonably priced and that Betty enjoys her experiences there. I looked in the door the other day and noticed they have hoists for bigger dogs and they use something that looks like a hoover to hoover up the stray hairs. I'm definitely going to take Toby in, just for the sheer comedy of him getting hoisted up onto a table and hoovered!! He HATES our hoover so it should be a genuine comedy moment. One small thing: Molly's may have gone a little overboard with the doggy perfume on Betty - she was smelling like Boots perfume counter!

Having always had Dobermann's that don't need grooming as such from a groomers (I have always…read morewashed Maisy myself), it was with some trepidation that I had to search for a groomer for my newest addition - a 'Cockalier'. Spoke to some doggie friends and then did a rekkie to Molly's. Molly's have now given her two 'puppy' grooming sessions and just yesterday her first real cut. I am so delighted because they did what I wanted (unlike my hairdressers). Her hair is short enough to not tangle but long enough to still be the cutest dog ever (after Maisy that is). I love that she smells of baby powder. Finally Lola is quiet shy outside of the house but she just loves them which is so important to me.

I booked the appointment on Facebook messenger which was quick and easy. I was sent a text message to remind me of the appointment and when I arrived I felt right at ease. The man who working (may have been the owner) was polite and friendly. He told me to come back in about 45 mins however I got a text message 20 minutes later to say that Ted was ready to go. When I arrived the guy had Ted on his lap (well I think he was) because he wasn't in a cage or anything - he clearly loves dogs. Ted was groomed so well I almost didn't recognise him, his nails were cut, his coat was trimmed to perfection and he was smelling delightful. I thought Teds previous cuts were either to short or either not short enough but I thought this cut perfect! I will definitely not be going anywhere else from now on.

Avoid at all costs. Took my wee dog to Carol at Paws on the Avenue this morning 6th June. It was a…read moredisaster of an experience. Firstly the stairs up to the place are a hazard in themselves. Unsafe and Awful. I had reservations about even leaving him after watching her cutting a lively black dog and her tone and attitude to the dog and how she was blaming the pup rather than her ability to cut and contain the dogs unwillingness to get its legs shade left me alert to the possibility that all wasn't well. Nonetheless I had seen her work and thought as she wasn't actually manhandling the dog, that I would go ahead. Carol seemed harried and was clearly behind schedule. I explicitly asked for a Schih tzu face cut and was told that would be grand. I was told it would take an hour and a half to two hours. I came back over an hour later and heard her loudly giving off. Distracted by another customer and not safely tethered, my wee dog had leap out of the bath which if you have visited there you know is a considerable height off the ground. Carol blamed the dog for jumping out rather than taking responsibility for being distracted and not having secured him properly. Our wee one isn't great with water and Carol is telling me he is loving it. So much so he seemingly had jumped over a panel to get away. Draw your own conclusions. I asked to take him and Carol insisted that he would be another half hour. Not wanting him there a moment longer than necessary I waited outside in the car, she rang me and I immediately came to collect him right away. As soon as I saw him I knew he has simply been given a generic cut, a bap cut and no attempt had been made at all to shape or give him a standard Schihtzu cut. His ears had been shaved tight and his face was both shaven and scissored right down to the lips. I remarked to Carol that he had not received what I asked for and she insisted that was a Shihtzu cut. I did not want the confrontation so I paid and took my dog out. While outside I took a closer look at him in the sunlight and to my annoyance his beautiful white tuff had been hacked at and a lump had been cut out of the top. I simply had to go back with him and ask for it to fixed. Upon returning I explained that I wasn't happy with the cut and despite pointing out the horrible hack out of his tuff Carol insisted that was normal with such cuts and went on to say that I was being too fussy and penickity. Before then going on to say that she had never heard the like of this from a customer before and that she was the groomer and knew her job. Things got heated, rather than simply offer to fix the part I objected to she chose to attack me for daring to complain, it's clear this woman could do with some customer service training but I kept firmly making my point that this was not a shihtzu cut, that she had hacked him and that I simply couldn't take him home in this state. Carols responses ranged from yes it was a proper shih tzu cut, to his hair was too short to do a shih tzu cut, to she had to shave him because he had food around his mouth (an outright lie), to she was the groomer and knew best and her final retort was that I was merely being a drama queen about it all!!! Honestly folks I saved up to get him this professional shihtzu cut, it cost £30 which isn't easy to come by, I had deliberately asked for the cut before I left him and insisted on making the point that if he was too short to cut to a shihtzu cut then Carol out to have stated this before accepting the job and I could have waited until his hair grew longer and come back another day. Reasonable, mature and drama free right? In retort, at one point Carol stated that while she did want customer to be happy with her work she hadn't time to be looking at dogs to see if their hair is long enough for cutting. This experience has left and awful bad taste in my mouth. I found the whole thing quite upsetting. Carol was really negative towards both me and wee Blue, it was hostile horrible customer service. In the short time I was there I witnessed how she has a demeaning way of talking to the dogs. She was extremely quick to blame either the dogs or in my case the customer at being unhappy with her services. My sincere advice is to avoid this groomers, there are most certainly people out there who are Uber professional, who listen to the customer and prioritise the safety of the animals they have in their care. We should not have to be faced with hostile, degrading labels at the mere mention of not getting what you asked for or when asking for a hack to be rectified. I completely believe in going local for my services, yet just because it is West Belfast does not mean we are entitled to anything less than a Rolls Royce service. If we are not happy with a service and ask for something to be fixed, surely it ought not result in being spoken to and mistreated as if we are a bit of dirt on the bottom of someone's shoe.

The staff were so so lovely on arrival. They were extremely friendly. Same when I went to collect him. It cost about £30. They thought he may have needed shaved but the girls spent time brushing all his knots out and he came home extremely fluffy, smelt amazing for ages after and he purred all the way home. I have never met more friendly staff anywhere. They were fab. And genuinely caring. If anyone is looking for a dog groomers I always recommend this place. It may not look like much from the outside but it is fantastic.
