This was the most terrible grooming experience I've ever had. I was taking my dog for her very first grooming appointment at Immaculate Pooch scheduled for noon (was told last week there was a noon opening due to a cancellation but my dog would needed to be picked up by 3PM due to a special needs dog arriving - I arranged someone to pick her up according, as I usually don't get off work until around 4 or 5). The building was somewhat difficult to find, so I got there at 12:10 after walking through the front of the building versus the side - somewhat difficult to decipher where to enter. Nobody greeted me and I spent about 5 to 10 minutes talking to a client (she was really nice, I could tell you all about her two miniature dogs, she even showed me pictures - the best part about my experience). At this point - 12:17 precisely (I looked at the time on my phone), the what appeared to be groomer's assistant told me they have a policy where if 15 minutes late, I must reschedule - I clearly was not 15 minutes late because I had a lengthy conversation with a client in the waiting area before acknowledged at 12:17. I shared my dissatisfaction and at this point, the groomer came out and first didn't even know which appointment was scheduled for noon - "I don't even know what dog this is. Is this Tucker's brother?" (I don't know who Tucker is). She then condescendingly asked if I would show up late to a doctors appointment. Being a clinician myself, understanding that first time clients may be slightly late is generally universally understood. I had taken time to arrange pick up for my dog and find coverage at the hospital only to be told I must reschedule. Safe to say I'll go elsewhere. read more
