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.

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.

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.

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.

See all

Terry and the Pawlour saved our dog, Lumi, from our horrible mistake! My dog had terribly matted…read morehair after we gave her a bath ourself (please please learn from us and never give a dog with matted hair a bath before combing all the matted hair through - it further mats the hair into untangle-able conditions). We tried to detangle the hair but our efforts were fruitless, Lumi was so uncomfortable and had such low energy after the bath. I frantically called a bunch of dog salons for appointments and advice - no salon had availability or cared to give us advice but Terry promptly called us back and fitted us in that day just because she couldn't stand the thought of our dog being uncomfortable. We were first-time clients at a salon and she taught us that matted hair pinches the dogs skin and showed us how to better groom Lumi. Even though we only asked her to detangle the matted hair, she also took initiative and gave Lumi a bath and beautiful cut. This place is no-frills but really knows how to take care of double-coated and long-hair pets without shaving them down (something every other groomer told us would be necessary). We also saw so many other types of dogs there that were happy as can be. We will be forever clients from now! Thank you so much Terry!! Lumi is looking great and back to her normal goofy self!

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!!!
