Having our pooch move from another city to Waterloo meant we had to look for a new groomer. Looking…read moreat other services around the KW area, I was drawn to Clippers because of the homey feel I got from their page and reading about their staff. The parking lot is a little small but it's in a nice location where you can easily hop over to a coffeeshop or other places while you wait for your pet to get their cuts, etc. done. I liked that the staff in the back (who would be doing the haircut) was the one directly talking to us to get exactly what we wanted. She asked us the right questions, and in great detail. My partner and I had concerns about our dog's nails and they were able to clip them (which gave our little one great relief!). I was very happy with the service and we got exactly what we told her to do for our dog. Overall, it was a very good experience!

I've been coming here for years. Although the employees in the back are excellent, I have received…read moresome attitude and rudeness from the girls at the front desk. When I came in for my cats appt- there was no hello or smile it was just " whos this". Even though there is a chart right in their hands of previous appts- I still get asked what would you like today. So I said the same as last time. After some more rudeness I had drop my cat off and came back an hour later. The girl at the front asked me what I was there for. I was shocked that just an hour before that I had dropped my cat off to her. And after I said I just dropped him off - more attitude. A customer had come in when I was sitting there waiting- and she again gave attitude to another customer. The customer said " hello how are you" and right away the recptionist said " who's this" very rudely. I would be going to another place but unfortunately there are not many places around that will cut cats. I don't want to make them look bad but this has been happening many times now and I feel that if you are dealing with the public- a simple hello and or a smile would be nice. Especially for the price I pay for my cats hair to be cut. The employees that actually work- in the back- are great and keep up the excellent work!

It was a game-changer! Now on grooming day our little one happily walks US to the door for drop off! The experience is caring and professional. We appreciate that Greg takes the time to listen for any medical updates or special grooming requests, like what we call the "Summer Beach" cut. After each appointment, our guy always looks and smells divine. And he knows it, pretty much prancing back to the car! I want to close by acknowledging I have learned that grooming sessions are about more than "cosmetics", they are also about "quality of life". Greg has made observations and shared suggestions like how to address matting, what/where hot spots are and even when a vet appointment would be wise. I repeat, we are thankful - and we recommend!

I don't know if her clippers were dull but he was shaved with long patches left. His legs were always hand scissored but she shaved them as well. Face was shaved down and patchy. He looks like he was rolling in a field all day. Not soft and fluffy. Wish I could post pics. And I had to cut his bangs which were choppy and crooked.
