Very disappointed in this business. We brought our dog here a few times. First few appointments were great and we were glad to have found a great groomer. Our dog is a German shepherd and seems dog aggressive simply because she's nervous, and if you know shepherds at all, their barks and growls can be scary. We always made sure to let them know when we dropped her off that she does not do well around other dogs. They were always okay with it and assured us they will just keep her away from other dogs. She also has never bit anyone or any other dog before, but we of course wanted to be careful.
Our dog went for an appointment yesterday. The building has changed because they closed their usual grooming place. Most of the staff are not the same anymore. They charged me double our usual price. I was in a rush so I did not even notice when I charged my card. Today I called them and asked why it was so much, thinking it was a mistake. They told me that because she's dog aggressive we charge more. I said we've never had an issue and if she is kept away from other dogs it won't be an issue. They told me that it took so much time to give her a bath so that had to up the price. I told them she was done quicker than usual. They were done within an hour. Usually it takes them 2-2 1/2 hours. I also said how it was wrong to just change the prices after the appointment when I then have no choice to pay it. I let them know ahead of time she cannot be around other dogs. They should let customers know right then that the price may be different if the dog is difficult to handle, takes more time, etc. They didn't let me know and now have an issue when they never did before. Her behavior hasn't changed, but the place has. Maybe their facility is not accommodating for such dogs anymore since they switched buildings or they don't have the staff, but charging me without a heads up is completely wrong. Do not bring your dog here, there are tons of professionals out there who truly understand breeds like German shepherds. The owners are also extremely rude and arrogant. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.
They also have a D+ rating on BBB. Not surprised. read more
