Woken from a nap.
Betty G.

I have not had the best experience with dog groomers, to say the least. Why on earth would I invest in a mini-poodle??? It was a pandemic adoption in 2020 when going outside wasn't much of an option as it was a necessity. I focused too much on hypo allergenic and not at all on maintenence. Apparently when the world shut down, so did most groomers. After almost 2 years of trial and error with groomers and multiple unsuccessful attempts to teach myself how to cut his hair, courtesy of you tube, I only managed to barely keep his hair out of his eyes. I stumbled upon this groomer. Same day appointment. I was skeptical so I arrived early and while I waited in my car I saw three perfectly groomed pooches walk out. After copies of the vaccine were made by the front desk, the groomer came out. She was pleasant and quickly established a rapport with Melo. He was pretty matted and she told me most of his hair would need to come off. No surprise there but I asked her to save what she could. A few hours later, donned in a red tie was my adorable poodle. She did cut down most of his hair but styled his ears. I am beyond thrilled. Two compliments from passersby on the way back to my car. I found what I hope is my forever groomer. Thank you Gentle Touch!

I absolutely love this place, they take such good care of my dogs Jinx and Lola. He is an anxious pup but always seems happy coming from here. Our groomer takes care of him so well and there genuine love for each animal there.

They were able to schedule an appointment quickly and listened to our request on the look for the grooming. He looked happy, and well groomed when I picked him up. Ted will definitely have Rachel groom him again.

Cuts to underbelly near paw

I took my pup here for the first time after reading good reviews. the name gentle touch does not meet what happened to my pup. When I picked my dog in the afternoon, I only inspected the dog when I got home. I found multiple scrapes and cuts on his skin by the belly near his and cuts with dried blood on the inside of his ear. I tend to question the validity of these reviews, To the proprietor of the place you need to figure out how to check the dogs when they get groomed and not allow for someone to hurt the animals even unintentionally.

They took great care of my 15year old Shih Tzu.

Took my 15 year old Shih Tzu in for grooming. I was able to get a fast and convenient appointment. The groomer did a great job on my cranky pup. He hates his face and his paws being touched. They were able to work with that and still do a great job.

Chewy- groomed and Hogwarts ready

Fantastic grooming services aside, they've been very helpful in getting me appts ASAP when emergency hit and I needed to leave town (2x during quarantine). Even through distancing their customers' arrivals so we don't cross paths, they've been friendly, and fun to chat with. My dog was happy to return, leaving me behind with no problem lol. He made friends I gather.

My pup had her first groom here and came out happy and looking great. Staff were really kind, friendly, and did exactly what we discussed.

It's hard finding a shop that offers hand stripping especially at a decent price so I thought I hit…read morethe jackpot when I found this place, unfortunately I'm going to have to keep searching. I was very specific with my instructions. No clippers, full hand strip, trim only as needed. I provided reference photos of what I wanted and even offered to send a website link that had a detailed description of how to groom this breed (since it's not one many people have ever seen, let alone worked on) along with diagrams but the person I spoke to said it wouldn't be needed. Wearily, I took her word. What I got back was not what I was expecting and frankly, it doesn't look the best. My dog is not a schnauzer, but they seemed to have given him a schnauzer skirt for some reason. He's overtrimmed when the breed is meant to look rough and natural. Besides that, the handstrip job itself looks decent with very minimal balding so that's one of the positives. I'm just disappointed that my instructions and references weren't followed as closely, especially for the price I paid.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and to inform you that I will no longer be…read morereturning as a client. Despite specifically asking that my deceased dog not be mentioned, this boundary was disregarded. That alone was upsetting and unacceptable. In addition, over the past four years I have spent hundreds of dollars at your establishment, yet I have repeatedly experienced incomplete grooming services while still being charged the full amount each time. I also do not understand why it consistently takes four hours to groom a five-pound dog, particularly when details are routinely missed. Beyond the services themselves, there has been a persistent lack of acknowledgment and basic client consideration, which is disappointing given the length of time I've been coming to you (since 2019). I am generally a very easygoing person, but between the repeated boundary violations, the inconsistency in services provided, and the lack of accountability, I have lost all confidence in your business. I will not be returning.

My RATING is ZERO STARS! The website won't let me put ZERO…read more My sweet dog Miles (a Bedlington Terrier) is not easy to groom and he is very scared of other dogs. Miles and my partner and I have been working with a wonderful dog behaviorist, Heidi, for over a year now. Heidi has helped Miles have a happier life. Heidi spent a while trying to help us find a good groomer for Miles. (The one groomer that Miles loved recently moved to Florida.) Heidi spoke with Ania for at least 20 minutes and I spoke with her for about 15 minutes, both of us explained the special needs of Miles. In particular, we explained that he is scared of grooming and scared of other dogs. We also had a preference for a groomer who was not a man, since Miles feels less comfortable with men. Both of us told Ania we were willing to wait until she returned from her vacation so she could groom Miles instead of her recommendation, Gabriel. Ania insisted that we use Gabriel, that he is very good with all dogs. Both Heidi and I complied with Ania's wishes based on her recommendation. She suggested we have the first appointment at 10am so no other dogs were present. We trusted Ania. Imagine our surprise when we arrived and there were four dogs in the shop at the same time as Miles!! Worse still Gabriel told us that he knew NOTHING about our special requests for Miles!! Apparently, Ania ignored everything Heidi and I discussed with her. Miles, Heidi and I left, never to return again. From the looks of a few reviews we are not the first to complain about Ania not listening to requests. Conclusion: if you have any special requests for your dog DON'T USE BFF PETWASH!!!

Ania and the team at BFF pet wash are great! I've brought my dog here many times for grooming and…read morethey always do a great job and are super quick!
