    So unfortunate that I am writing this heartbreaking review. I have been having my dog groomed at this salon for over a year, no issues. Unfortunately that all changed this past weekend. My dog developed a severe infection less than 24 hrs after leaving their facility. The urgent care vet explained that it was due to them not fully rinsing off the soap during his bathing, which caused severe irritation. When I contacted the salon to inquire about their company's insurance information I was yelled at by the manager, William, and hung up on twice. Was told that he was there and nothing happened and that they absolutely would not be paying for anything. He first told me the owner would be contacting me. When I called back a few hours later from the initial hang up I was told no one would be contacting me, and was hung up on again. I understand mistakes happen, but I am truly shocked by the way this "business" has decided to conduct themselves in this situation.

    This is the second time I have been here and their quality is consistent. I did not post a review after the first time because I need to see if there is consistency between visits. I get my Tibetan Terrier trimmed/shaved twice a year. The resulting dog is well trimmed and nails done perfectly. The groomers have been there a long time and are always happy and friendly. This means it is a good place to work. Happy groomers happy dogs. This is not a cheap place to go but for $10 higher price than the chain salons I feel it is money well spent.

    Conveniently located near my residence, so when my normal groomer suddenly stepped away Dog-a-Do was a valuable option for myself and my pet. Very good and transparent service; however, the only knock would be the inconsistency in haircuts, which may be due to the fact that your pet could go to a different individual on each of their visits. Overall, happy with the service and value for a grooming experience for my pet.

    Really nice, laid back place, and veteran-owned. They always do a great job with our dog and he comes out happy, smelling great and wearing a fun kerchief! The price is always excellent (and yes, cash/check only). Everyone wore masks today, which we also appreciated. Please note, they don't walk the dogs, so please make sure you walk them ahead of time. Our Indy always needs to pee immediately after, and there's a grassy area in the parking lot for it.

    First Haircut

    Took our 7 month old puppy Theo to Dog a Do for his first haircut. The entire experience was great, from the appointment to the check in, all the way to the pick up. They were very polite and easy to work with. I will definitely be going back. Tip: They only accept cash or check

    Zoe happy on her ride home :)

    SO HAPPY we found Dog a Do!! Living 2.7 miles away, I'm surprised we had not passed by this location earlier. I wanted to find a great place for our puppy, now that she's a little bigger and doesn't love bath time with us. The recommendations from Nextdoor were super positive for Dog a Do. Such great ratings overall also. I was so pleased with the friendly and welcoming staff. Zoe, our pup can be a little too energetic to handle, but she was so happy when we picked her up and they did such a wonderful job! Looks and smells great, and her nail trim is perfect! This is definitely our spot for keeping her clean and fresh. I also like that the pick up crate area is up front, so they're not alone in a back room. Overall, couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Dog a Do!!

    Dog grooming

    This salon came as a recommendation from a friend and I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with their service. The moment we stepped into this establishment you felt the sense that everyone who work there wanted to be there and genuinely loves what they do. My pup was greeted with Excitement and enthusiasm and check in was a breeze. 10 out of 10 recommend the salon to anyone who's looking to make a change or just want some more pet friendly experience. Cheers to the team at Dog a Do! You guys are amazing!

    I have only been here for nail trims, but based on this experience, I wouldn't hesitate to bring my…read morepup for full grooming. My dog is old and has severe mobility issues. She can't stand or sit for very long. I've been taking her to the big box store grooming, and despite me telling them she needs to lay down, without fail, they put her on the table with the noose around her neck and before I can say anything, she falls down and is left hanging by the neck. My first visit to Fur Factory, I explained her issues, and they took her back to a table. Here we go again, I thought. But instead of putting her standing up, she gently laid her down and got her nails trimmed really fast. I've been back a number of times, and they are always patient and kind to my old pup. They also trim the pad fur, which should be standard but isn't at some places. They also do nails trims on walk-in basis, and the price is less than the big box. You will love them!

    Looking for a new groomer as the previous one left an inch-long abrasion on my dog's face and then…read moredenied it. I called Fur Factory and mentioned that I just need a cut as I typically bathe my dog and comb her out right before bringing her in. She is tiny and doesn't do well with industrial size blow dryers. I let her know that I prefer to come first thing in the day if possible and wait for her as opposed to crating her. This has never been a problem with any groomer (they call it a straight-through) and I did this with my last dog over the course of 15 years (sadly, that groomer retired). At first she said I could bring her in first or last thing in the day and I said sure, I'd be glad to do that. Then all of the sudden, she did an about face and turned me away and said her grooming facility would not be a good environment for my dog because they are so busy and there is always too much going on lately. She said her groomer has too much on her plate or something to that effect and then discussed her own health issues, which I tried to sympathize with but she kept talking over me. I tried to explain that my dog loves people and she would not be a problem, but the woman kept talking so fast and continued talking over me. As I was trying to get a word in and let her know how she was coming across, she just hung up on me. I feel for anyone with a medical condition however I have never been treated so rudely by what is supposed to be a professional business. No potential customer deserves that. My dog is a very sweet small dog who loves people so I don't understand the immediate judgement from someone who doesn't even know my dog. It made me feel just awful. Based on the conversation first thing in the morning that left me feeling disrespected, unheard, dismayed, and disheartened, and the judgement she made on my sweet little girl, I would not recommend them at all. It was such an awful experience and left me quite unnerved. I've never encountered anything like it. Something appears to be going on there. They may have been good at one point but to me it now seems like they have too much going and do not care about getting new customers, treating people with respect, and in fact turn them away.

    We initially loved taking our doodles to get groomed here when Jina was the owner but they've…read morechanged ownership since then and we've decided to part ways with Pretty Paws. There have been several changes implemented due to new ownership: 1) They no longer have cage free grooming and they put our dogs into kennels while they wait for us to pick them back up 2) Prices have gone up about 2-3 times due to the rise of inflation which is understandable but wanted to share to other dog owners for awareness 3) They use an assembly line process for grooming which is faster so our large dogs are typically in and out within ~2 hours Although our doodles typically came out well groomed for the most part, they both began to dread coming in and felt more anxious than usual, which wasn't a good sign to us. Additionally, the new front desk staff (male) could work on his customer service etiquette as he has came off as condescending multiple times to both myself and my husband regarding the care of our dogs. Our other friends who also brought their dogs here have shared similar sentiments. This is not their fault, but the location can be challenging to get to during traffic hours (they close at 4PM Monday through Saturday) since it's right on 50 and a lot of cars are going out west.

I moved away to NY for 6 months and when I came back I went straight to the same groomers my Pup had been to since he was a puppy. I called to make my usual appointment and was asked To resubmit veterinary information again in a rude manner. Then when I arrived I was greeted by a new face at the desk. A man who said he was hired to do everything the right way unlike "before". Yet when I Asked if they were under new Ownership the man said, "NO" Here are my following reasons for their 1 Star- 1. New ownership Yet the man at front desk outright told Me ownership did not change. WHY LIE About the switch? 2. Price- increased and they even charged me. Handling fee bc they said my Dog was unmanageable, yet, the previous owners LOVED HIM. 3.customer service- new guy upfront-He was unprofessional and unpleasant. I shouldn't have left my dog especially because I felt Something was off with this man's energy. But I summed it up to maybe he was having an Off" Day. He was just rude and unkind, unlike previous owners. He would go on and on about how he was there from out of state bc his mom was unwell so I also felt bad for him, but I was also on a tight schedule. I just found this to be extremely unprofessional. Get this- I tried something new with my pup for the first time and had his tail Colored ( safely of course bc this is practically my Son). The man comments- he's not a fan of Color but to each their own. That owners who dye their dogs should do their research on how bad it is for their pets... uh really? I just ignored his unwarranted opinion but was quite upset by it. 4. going to trust myself and my pups initial reaction when picking him up. He use to love Going to the groomers and now he's terrified. 5. I paid extra for teeth cleaning which I could tell was not done and they did not trim his dewclaws which was previously always cut. At pick up, even though I was trying to get out of there as much as my dog was, the man proceeded to lecture me about taking care of my dog at home, so that he is not so matted, and that is why they had to shave him all the way at this point, I was so traumatized I just wanted to get the heck out of there, so I just paid and left as unhappy as my pup was. Oh and before I could finish paying the man asked if I was going to tip bc it is customary... really!?! I'm in the service industry I'm well aware... Never going Back - sad about the changes!

Danielle is friendly and reliable and most of all - she does a great job. We always go with a short cut on our Maltese for ease of maintenance and Danielle's cuts are very consistent. Our dog always looks the same, which is a big positive in my book. Other groomers have delivered inconsistent looks when we simply wanted the same haircut. The convenience of the mobile service is hard to beat too. It's a little more expensive than service at a brick and mortar building, but it's worth it in my opinion. You won't regret going with this business for your furry friend's grooming needs. Highly recommended. ***In the post-grooming photo of my pup, he'd had a recent vet procedure that resulted in a stitch in his forehead and a partially shaved right leg.

Not only will your furbaby be gorgeously groomed, you will have the peace of mind of knowing he is being cared for by 1) someone who genuinely loves dogs, and 2) is also incredibly talented and experienced. I don't trust my little guy with anyone but Maria.

In the photograph provided you can see her hair is finally returning but her body remains inflamed because of the systemic response she had to the fungus.
