We just moved to Nampa from out of state, I'm looking for a sweet kind good groomer. Driving today I saw Dog-Gone Beautiful I pulled over to check I out and maybe make an appointment for my dogs. I stood at he counter for several minutes, I heard a woman talking so I walked toward the back where there were kennels with big hot dryers inside the kennels, (horrible) she didn't notice me as she pulled a black schnauzer from a kennel, the poor dog was scared and tried to escape from her back into the kennel, she said oh no your not going back into that kennel ! she was not kind or sweet towards the scared dog. She then saw me, and picked the dog up off the floor where she had dragged it before she noticed me. My heart dropped, I would be heart sick if someone handled one of our dogs in that way. I felt concerned, since that back room with the kennels and the heater hoses stuck inside them to dry them, our neighbor had 2 cocker spaniels that died at the groomers they suffocated in the kennels from lack of oxygen from the heat from the dryer hoses, it was a terrible death.
The woman tied the shaking dog on the table to talk to me, I asked if she blow dried dogs upon request (although I had already decided not to ever leave my dogs there NO MATTER WHAT ! after what I witnessed,) the woman replied she would but she isn't going to fight with the dog, my gawd ! I cant believe that people would leave their dogs to be so mistreated. I felt so bad for that poor dog, I wonder what its owner would think of what they put their dog through leaving it there.
THERE IS NO WAY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD I EVER LEAVE MY DOG THERE, I don't care if they do a good groomer job, that dog was mistreated & the other dogs in the over heated kennels were at risk. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PLACE, I have felt sick from what I saw, I wished I could have comforted the terrified dog.
This place doesn't deserve one star, if they cant treat the dogs with patience and kindness, DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR A LIVING, dogs are helpless to protect themselves. read more
