What a wonderful person and dog groomer! We have been taking…read moreour two dogs to Kim for over ten years. After several disastrous experiences elsewhere we feel so fortunate to have found Kim. She actually was recomnded by our vet. The vet had nothing but the highest praise for Kim and it is well justified. We are often out of town and Kim is kind enough to board our dogs. They love her and accept her home as their second home. I cannot express how grateful we are for our vet recommending Kim years ago. She is the best!!

Kim is not only the best groomer in Whatcom county but as nice of a person who obviously loves…read moredogs...she's a true dog whisperer! I have gone to Kim for years, and while I had to go to Texas for a while it was impossible to find any shop that came close to the quality work Kim does, or the loving care she gives my two dogs. I have gone to Kim for over 20 yrs, and I'm a person not easily impressed...I have had my dogs when traveling or Kim was to busy to fit them in (my fault) and each time my only thought was "I wish I was back home so Kim could straighten out this mess". Now, no longer traveling ..going to Kim's and my having no concerns about how my dog will look (you can't believe some of the disasters I've seen on grooming my westie :( argggg) I get to drop Sophie off, knowing she's in good hands. My pup gets so excited about going to Kim's that the minute I turn on the road to Kim's place, she starts howling in joy ...she adores Kim. Kim has a silent communication with her "clients"...Sophie was just a baby when she did her and she was hyper and difficult for me to even bathe ..not so with Kim. She settles in when she arrives for her "beauty appointment"...and I get a break (just like a mother who drops her child off at school!) and get to go to lunch or shopping without her hitting all the electric windows and door locks as she runs from window to window...once locking me out when I stopped for gas). If you really want not only a great grooming experience for your dog but the confidence that you'll have no worries about their care...then I highly recommend Kim's grooming. My boarding experience at Kim's has been equally excellent...not to mention her pricing is incredibly reasonable. I leave knowing that I have the peace of mind that she is safe and happy, which makes my trip more enjoyable. Obviously I highly recommend Kim Grooming A+++. P S, yes I finally realized there is a door lock on drivers side that prevents her from locking or unlocking the doors, or the windows going up and down..

We took my very shy/scared Peanut kitty in last year for a lion cut- not knowing what to expect as…read moreshe was the only groomer open during Covid. Krista did an absolutely fantastic job! I've worked in vet clinics in the past so I've learned to look for cuts and abrasions from groomers but not with Krista. Highly recommend as she is an excellent groomer and her prices are fair.

We had a great experience here. Took our normally-anxious dog for grooming and to our surprise,…read moreshe was immediately at ease. Two hours later we picked up a clean, happy dog. Her nails were even trimmed! We didn't think it was possible without sedation. She looked so cute with a pink scarf around her neck. Recommend this business! It seems informal (in a home) but results were professional. We will be back!

I booked an appointment for my cat's nails and body to be trimmed. They got me in within a week and…read moreonly took about an hour with Mai. They checked her glands and put a cute flower on her collar for free :) Whole appointment only costed me $40. So happy with my experience!

Best place for nail trimming! We have a senior rescue chihuahua who is scared of hands (and people…read morein general). He also has one weird nail that curls under and grows into his paw pad and is very hard to cut. We usually do walk-in, and they have always been able to accommodate us within 10 minutes or so. This is the only place we have been that has successfully cut his nails (we don't drummel). Sometimes, we hold him while they cut the nails - or there is one lady there who takes him under her arm and does the whole thing herself while holding him (to my amazement each time).

When we moved to the area my boy Duff was in need of a bath and a trim. I sent out a pricing…read morerequest through Yelp to several groomers and Cindy answered first. I went by to meet her and just look at her facilities. She was so nice and showed me around. She has the "Lounge" with couches and a TV for the clients to relax and a very clean roomy bathing room. She hand dries most of her clients, even the super furry ones like my boy. Cindy doesn't over book so she can give your fur baby the one on one special attention they deserve. I felt really comfortable dropping Duff off and knowing he was going to be treated like a Prince. The price was reasonable and he looked and smelt GREAT. I highly recommend Cindy at the Hound Lounge for your pet's perfect Spa Day.

I actually found City Dog Grooming through ChatGPT while trying to figure out how to manage my…read morefirst-generation goldendoodle's long, wavy (and honestly... high-maintenance ) coat. From the start, they were fantastic--answered the phone, called me back, got me scheduled quickly, and even sent an email so I could include detailed instructions and photos. When I dropped him off, they truly listened to everything I said. They were happy to give him treats (which he loves, and it makes a huge difference), they Dremeled his nails exactly like I asked, and they were careful with his ears--he's sensitive to ear flushes, so I requested just water, and they followed that perfectly. He came home happy, relaxed, and looking amazing--and that's not always easy with this coat type. I'm so grateful I found them. Thank you, City Dog Grooming!

I took my double-coated English Springer Spaniel in to be groomed, and they shaved her entire coat…read more When I made the appointment, I specifically asked if they were able to do breed-specific ESS grooming, and I was assured they could. When I dropped her off, I also made it clear that she should not be body-clipped and that I only wanted her feathering trimmed. After the appointment, I called to understand what happened and how this miscommunication occurred. Alison was very apologetic and explained that the receptionist's notes said to do a 1/2" trim all over. If there was any confusion about those notes, I wish the groomer had called me before starting to confirm that I actually wanted my dog shaved. City Dogs did issue a refund, but I'm extremely disappointed, and now there's a real possibility that my dog's coat will not grow back correctly.

My cranky old dog (15) is a bit Extra for other boarding places (stressed out, not eating, rubbed…read morenose raw, doesn't play well with others, etc.!). Lots of separation anxiety. Then we found Hyline!! She was at Hyline for over a week on the first visit and did fine. No raw nose when we picked her up. She had a private "room" and I paid a little extra for one-on-one attention (tuck-in service!! What!!), and a peanut butter-filled Kong once daily. They sent us photos and updates. She even ate while she was there! Second visit was good, too. She didn't even hang back when it came time to leave her, just went along to her kennel. Pretty surprising, for her! The place is clean and well-kept. They do doggie daycare, too. We appreciated the good service and care for our good old girl!

Yes, her poo would have chemo drugs in it, but it's frankly not that hard to just pick it up. Plenty of dogs are on meds that are excreted in poop. Their operation is a ridiculous cash grab of low lying fruit (easy dogs) using mostly untrained kids to run it. Zero commitment to long term clients. Glad they fired my sweet old girl as I now have my 3 dogs staying somewhere that is actually run by good people that care.
