I've tried this place twice in three years; every time they mess up / hurt my little dog. The first…read moretime, we went for JUST A CLAW TRIM; and he came back, shaking and with his tail curled in & with a weirdly swollen bottom. Within five hours, that turned into an anal gland abscess that WAS NOT THERE before; he had never had this issue and never has suffered from it since. So I chalked this experience up to "maybe they thought he needed it done because he is little/or maybe it's a coincidence."...and didn't come back till today, about two years later. Fast forward to today; I came in, explaining that a) my dog is not mean or bite-y, but is TERRIBLE at getting his nails trimmed, FULL disclosure. I normally do it, but it's a goat rodeo. I remind them NOT to squeeze his butt, and say, if you can't do it, it's ok. I have to step out because if he can see me, he will cry. No worries if they CAN'T do it. My dog has been with me all day and night, as usual, and is in fine spirits. 15 minutes later, I walk in, he is tied to a railing and crying (ok, he's a Dramatic Little Dog) and I come to pay and collect him, expecting to pay, apologize for his shrieks and tip heavily. The woman who I entrusted my dog to was COMPLETELY HOSTILE and says "Your dog CANNOT BE TRIMMED" and I said, "that's ok, did you get any of them done?" And she said, "-AND! His DEW CLAW IS BROKEN." As though *I* had done something to him. Ummmm...FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO he had been FINE. Now a streak of blood is on his chest, his foot is bleeding! his nail is BROKEN and he is clearly very sad, trembling and hurt. Not only does this woman NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE, she goes on to say "well, I don't KNOW, but it's broken NOW." Seriously? Had she even trimmed ONE SINGLE NAIL without BREAKING it and then trying to blame ME, I would have paid full price. Deductive reasoning says; I won't be going back here. Beware! 2 stars as it is clean and I have seen that they do a nice job grooming the fluffy haired pups.

I feel it is my responsibility to share my experience with Jessica and Anthony at Puff N Fluff Pet…read moreGrooming because it is truly shocking: When we took our two small poodles (ages 15 and 2) in for grooming, we informed Jessica and Anthony that our 15 year old has very saggy skin around her neck, and that a few months prior she had been cut by the groomer and had needed stitches. About an hour after we dropped them off we received a call from Anthony saying that he believed our dog's previous wound had reopened, and they had no idea how it happened. They made it clear that it must be her old wound, and that it looked like a scab ripped off. They claimed they hadn't even noticed the cut "reopening" until later on, and that she hadn't cried, and it wasn't bleeding. They asked that we come pick her up, and they suggested taking her to the vet. They had not started on our 2 year old, but we gave them permission since we were under the impression that our 15 year old had just reopened her cut, and we did not believe they were at fault at the time. Unfortunately we received a completely different story from the vet. Per her veterinary examination, the cut she incurred at Puff N Fluff was on the OPPOSITE side of her neck and was in fact deeper (full thickness) and longer than her previous cut, so it was a completely fresh, new wound. The vet wanted to sedate her and give her stitches because it was so long and deep, but they gave her staples instead because they didn't want to put a dog of her age and size under anesthesia. Even if they were unaware of cutting her, like they claimed, I would find it even more concerning that they didn't notice inflicting a wound of that caliber. I understand that our 15 year old is very difficult to groom, and I understand that mistakes happen. I understand that any experienced groomer would have issues grooming my dog because of her skin, and this could have happened to anyone. My issue is not with the cut that she incurred from the groom. My issue is that they did not take responsibility for the cut, and had clearly fabricated a story about her injury so we wouldn't know they were at fault. We called to inform them of this discovery, and Jessica offered to pay for the vet visit, which is what we were hoping for. However, then I requested a reimbursement for my 2 year old, and I was incredibly disappointed by their response. We asked for a reimbursement because we no longer felt comfortable having paid them for their service when we were so unclear about what happened to our dog in their care. We felt like they blatantly lied to us after the vet's assessment and insight into the wound. We received quite a bit of pushback on getting our money back for the groom, which I feel shows a complete lack of understanding and accountability for their actions. I was obviously missing a lot of information, and I would NEVER have let them groom her if I knew what had truly happened. We had every right to ask for a refund after the experience we had. Additionally, our 2 year old was incredibly stressed after we picked her up, and her trachea collapsed on and off all day, which has never happened before. Furthermore, Jessica requested that WE write out and sign a statement that declared they reimbursed us for the vet visit and grooming appointment, which we did, but it was honestly insulting after what they did. AlI I was looking for was an apology and for them to be accountable for the cut, but instead they were dishonest, did not take responsibility for anything, deflected blame, and honestly lacked compassion and remorse for the whole incident. I understand this is an incredibly difficult time due to the pandemic, but we felt like they cared more about making money off us than the health of our dog or making amends for what they had done. It is important to note that they did end up reimbursing us for the vet visit and groom; however, they did initially try to shortchange us when we picked up the money, and we did Not receive any form of an apology for Anything. I hope no one has to experience something like this because it is truly heartbreaking for everyone.

TLDR; this place profits off of living animals that are actively hurting each other due to too…read moresmall cages! See photos I never leave yelp reviews but I was completely disgusted about the welfare of the animals being kept in this store. They have WAY too many chickens being kept in tiny cages. I noticed some of the chickens pecking on one particular chicken's back / rear. Then I noticed blood on the chickens beaks and looked closer and the poor chicken is bleeding all over and is basically being eaten by the other chickens. I let the person behind the counter know and she looked horrified. I told her I think there are way too many chickens in the cage to which she agreed. She promptly removed the chicken and another employee told her to put the chicken in another cage that had a single chicken. I asked if they had anything to apply to the wounds and the guy looked confused and said yeah and disappeared to the back. I once again noticed the other chicken start pecking at the chickens bloody rear and told the guy once he came back that it should be by itself. He moved the chicken and sprayed something on its wound. I wish I could've taken the chicken but I don't have the means or space. To the owners - you absolutely shouldn't be selling chickens / other live animals. You clearly don't have the space / enclosures needed to house that many chickens and you clearly don't care about the animals you're selling. Your employees seem to have a lack of knowledge on animal care and should be trained to know what to do to care of injured animals. This is clearly an animals-for-profit type of pet store that anyone who loves animals should absolutely avoid. I usually avoid this place because the birds already sadden me, and I've heard of the poor care given to the live animals. I'll absolutely never return and I really hope the owners think hard about keeping these living animals. At the very least, keep a smaller amount. It doesn't seem like they're even selling much of these animals. It's just cruel. I'd like to know what happens with their chickens once they're too large for these tiny cages!

They're highly skilled at what they do and were thrilled to have a permanent groomer we trust. We previously disliked other places that prioritized the dogs and crates over the grooming process, either holding the dog in a crate before or after the groom. This approach made my pup nervous and scared, especially since we never crate him at home, and hearing other dogs distressed in crates made him even more uneasy. When we discovered this place, we appreciated that dogs are allowed to roam freely and play with each other before and after their grooming session. After his visit, my pup looked like a fancy little gentleman, all spruced up with a shiny coat and tidy appearance. He enthusiastically gives his groom four paws--the highest score!
