I have a 12 year old Maine Coon cat, she has squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth that has spread…read moreto her two front paws. She is a happy cat that in spite of her disease is in suprisingly good health. She dose however require more frequent grooming as the cancer will cause her fur to become sticky and matted as a result of her grooming herself, this also causes her to have a foul Oder. My regular Groomer would not be available for three weeks, after calling several groomers in the area I found The Shaggy Dog pet groomers of Rocky Point. Brenda seemed very compassionate and caring as I explained our cats health issues and grooming need. I explained that I once had to have her completely shaved because she became so matted so fast and with more frequent grooming and shaving just her belly we have been able to avoid having her shaved again. She is after all a long haired cat! Brenda assured me all would be fine and I could bring her in this coming Saturday At 2PM. On Saturday my Husband dropped off our cat and again explained to Brenda her health issues and odor due to her cancer. He even explained that should she need to shave the matting to shave only belly. again Brenda assured him that it will all be ok. Two hours later Brenda Called she was all ready to be picked up. upon arrival our cat was in her carrier and ready to go. Brenda began to explain that she did in fact have to shave the matted fur, as my husband looked closer he was shocked to see a completely shaved cat. when asked why she shaved our cat her response was well you had her shaved before, that she was matted. She was only matted on her underbelly and leg area. She also said "What is that Smell!" After we had already explained that it is from the cancer. She took it upon herself to shave our cat without informing us first that she was going to do that. Any reputable groomer would notify the animals owner if they plan on making a drastic change to their look. Brenda did not do this. Both my husband and I gave her very clear instructions what to do and NOT to shave her body. She did not listen. Unfortanetly my cat will probably pass away from cancer before she ever gets her fur to grow back completely. I am so angry that this has happened. I will never use this groomer again nor will I ever recommend her.

Before booking they asked for pictures of my dog, the breed, her weight and quoted a price. Upon arrival the groomer wanted $55 mire and stated pricing is at the groomers discretion. Additionally they tried to add back in a $15 fuel surcharge which they did remove. The groomer then said her ears needed to be cleaned and nails done which was not the case as the vet had already did that. Lastly because of the last minute increase, I said to cancel the upgraded treatment, which the groomer claimed was only $10 less when I was quoted a $15 price. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the pricing change and asked the groomer to have the owner call me, but i never heard back. The groomer did do a good job, but I will not return.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a dog trainer, and I managed a training and daycare…read morefacility for six years. I asked every question under the sun at my dog's evaluation, and every answer was the one I was looking for. Additionally, my dog is not an 'easy' dog, he can be standoffish with strangers, but every staff member knew how to approach him without my having to comment, and he settled in really well. I appreciate especially their honesty when I asked if Arlo played with any other dogs - instead of lying to me and saying "of course!" without thinking, they explained to me that he needs to get used to a new environment and that "the play will come." That answer was stellar, and I feel comfortable knowing that staff will give me uncomfortable truths when they are needed rather than sugar coating their answers for a sale. I know my dog well, and their description of his behavior today was on point, I know for a fact that staff was watching him carefully and that makes me happy. I am glad to have a place to bring him now that I no longer work in the industry, it's a huge weight off of my shoulders. As to the reviews stating that the place smells - I have twice walked in during what seemed like rush hour and smelled nothing other than typical 'dog' smell, so I'm not sure what all that is about.

Cheryl was very accommodating and was able to take me on as a client very last minute, and provided an excellent service! I will be keeping their number in my phone! One note: the front signage doesn't match the name here. That was a tad confusing to me, but it was the only grooming service in the plaza.
