My 10 pounds maltipoo had many mats on his body and his hair was very long. I had taken him to…read morehaircuts every month at petsmart but they just did not do a great job so I gave poocchi a try and I think thy did a great job! They charged me 40 dollars for the full groom (that is extremely inexpensive for the quality I received). They are very bad with keeping time, I had an appointment on Monday at 9:00 but they never opened because of snow. Yes, the road was icy and even schools had closed, but they sure could have given me a call letting me know not to come. I made another appointment on Friday at 9:30 and they came on time. They even gave me a discount for having to wait on Monday. However, I was told that it will take about 3-4 hours but it actually took them about 5-6 hours. It was not a problem for me since I did not have anywhere to be, but it is good to note that it takes longer than they say that it does. The groomer seems very experienced and caring. I am giving her a five star because I know that I will be going back and she deserves better reviews than this. I recommend poocchi if you have time and are not in a rush. They do a good job with affordable pricing. These are pics of prices, before, and after respectively.

This place has two names on here, putty cats and poochi, poochi is the only signage on the building…read morewhich should have been a sign. We brought our cat in and the groomer was summoned by saying "the cat is here." Our appointment was at 10 in the morning thinking she would be taken care of rather quickly however that was the opposite. We called to check on her at Noon and they had yet to even start on her. We didn't get a phone call until after 4 to let us know she was finished. Our cat really isn't used to being in a small cage for hours on end and when I questioned them if she was in there all day, I was met with odd explanations that led me to believe, yes she was in her cage all day. Along with dogs running around everywhere and attempting to escape I'm pretty sure our cat will not be brought back to Poochi.

I met with Dr. Christine Duke on two separate occasions when I brought my dogs to her as first time…read morepatients. The front office staff was friendly and helpful. While not a new and fancy facility, the facility was very clean and staff immediately addressed any little accidents. Dr. Duke performed a very thorough exam and discussed with me her recommendations in a way that gave the best options for me. The next day on both visits I was received a call with lab results and we decided on a plan of action. They have a new dental X-ray machine that was very helpful in determining if a broken canine molar had root involvement and would need to be removed to avoid infection. It was not an automatic "we have to do surgery". While I had been on the premises for North Paws Pet salon (Violet is an awesome groomer) before I hadn't decided on which vet I was going to see until I bumped into a registered nurse I had worked with for years. Her dog was in surgery. I listened to what she had to say about the practice human clinician to human clinician. This helped add confidence to my decision to make the change. I am confident that my two senior dogs are in the best hands as they enter their golden years.
