After being scratched and clawed for the last time, we decided it was time for our 9 week old…read morekitten to get a manicure. We bought a pair of clippers from petco but were afraid that we would hurt him in the grooming process. We talked it over and then decided that this was a job for a professional as we were very scared of trimming his nails. We called prtco and they informed us that they could not groom cats at that location. They then referred us to bark avenue. We called right away and they were able to trim his nails with no appointment so we brought him down. Our cat was super shaken up by the car ride when we got there. The groomer came right out with a friendly smile and a pair of clippers. She pulled out the clippers and gently clipped all of our cats nails within about a minute. Our kitty was a bit shaken up but seemed to do just fine with the whole experience. The service we revived was fast and friendly. It was very affordable. $6,5 is not a bad price to pay to ensure that your little baby kitten is not hurt during the process of getting his nails trimmed. The place was very clean and organized. There were some very friendly looking pets there that looked like they were about to be groomed. All of the dogs that we saw seemed ok with being there too. We will defiantly be back. They did a great job.

Northland Boarding was so good about giving me updates on my Bebe when i would call to check on her & they even sent me some pics of her and I could see for myself how happy Bebe was and that also makes me very happy! Bebe will be going there again in March and we plan on using this kennel alot in the near future! 1

We had made a reservation for our dog to be boarded over the weekend. Upon arrival at the kennel,…read moreit looked rundown There was a campsite set up in the front yard, that looked really bad. There was a male working outside near the campsite. He was throwing things and talking loudly, using fowl language. We ultimately decided for the safety of our children who were in the car, to go somewhere else. Luckliy we were able to find another boarding facility near the airport that was much safer.​

I would not recommend recommending using this place for any of your pet needs, especially grooming…read more Somehow, they are the only people in the world that got a golden retriever to "bite" while doing the grooming. And they refuse to take him any longer. No context, no explanation of what happened, obviously he felt threatened, which makes me wonder what kind of people they have work in there. He is a golden retriever for God sakes, and has never attempted to bite anyone or any other animal in his life, however, somehow, Petco managed to make him do it. So they claim.

I recently visited Petco this past weekend and it was deeply disturbing, not too mention absolutely…read moredisgusting. This store and it's employees should be ashamed. Beta fish in cups dead and dying in gross water. Saltwater tanks were horrifying, the ones you could see in anyway. Freshwater tanks gross. Dead fish and snails everywhere. These assholes have a pleco in a 3 gallon tank. The poor turtle was swimming in filthy water with nothing but a rock, trying to get out. The birds are not taken care of. Dead snacks and lizards. The employees wandering around like they have nothing to do and they sure aren't checking out or helping customers. I will shop here again and I will report them to everyone I can think of. This store needs to be shut down immediately. They do not care about any of the animals or fish in their care. Words cannot describe how awful this store is.

I found Riley Rue a couple years ago after a bad experience at another local groomer…read more Initially I was hesitant because she was grooming out of her home, but she eased my fears and I left my maltipoo, Vinnie, in her care. When she called me about an hour later I went to pick him up hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. I'd seen Vinnie after grooming in the past, anxious and unusually clingy...I had no reason to think it would be any different here. But I was happily surprised when he greeted me at her door and was super happy and not stressed at all. His groom was perfect, just the way I'd requested and the fact Vinnie kept running back to Erin told me he was super comfortable with her. That was 4 years ago and Vinnie still loves going there. I'll say to him, "wanna go get a haircut?" And he runs around the house excited to go. Riley rue has moved into a bigger space now, but the quality of care she gives each dog hasn't changed. My dogs love going and always look awesome. I highly recommend Riley Rue for and companion animal grooming.

People bought us gift certificates because I talked about how I was so delighted with the whole thing. Since the ownership changed over, we had a terrible experience when one of the employees snapped at my daughter -- who loved to come and help wash our dog -- for something the employee herself did. I did not go back for a long time because of that experience, and when I decided to give them another try, it was another terrible experience. Asked for a dog nail trim, and the employee wanted me to sit on the floor in the lobby and hold my full-size, soaking wet, uncooperative dog still so she could clip her nails. Clipped some too short, dog was bleeding. Didn't clip some nails at all. Charged double what it was previously. I did a large portion of the work. Was the single most chaotic dog nail trim I have ever experienced in my life, and I used to work for the Humane Society. I want them to do well as a business because I think it is a good concept and a good location and I would love to be able to utilize the business. Other people have had positive experiences, or so it looks like. Our experience since the new owners took over has been one of prickly unwelcomeness. But maybe what I think is rude is actually normal among the young people who work there, and I just don't understand.
