    K9 to Five is the best! Want excellent grooming, personalized daycare and great dogcare products? Then you'll love it here too. My Doodle is a happy, well cared for pup here!

    This daycare REQUIRES you to bring your dog in at a minimum 2-3x per month. In Sept, I paid $35 for a 4 hour evaluation, which was a red flag already, as my dog has been a regular at 3 daycares in Portland and I've never had to pay for an evaluation. After the evaluation, they told me it's "recommended" (see proof attached) to bring your dog in within the next week and then a minimum of 2-3x per month. That was a total bait and switch. Why is this policy not stated on their website? Why wasn't I told that upfront? I would not have bothered with an evaluation then. I don't see the point in paying for daycare services that I don't need. Also, since it was "recommended" and not required, I did not bring my dog in. Two months after the evaluation, I brought my dog in today for daycare. Joshua told me that since I hadn't brought my dog in for regular visits, that was going to be an issue. I explained it wasn't required. When I returned to pick up my dog, he wanted me to schedule more daycare for my dog to come in. I already decided I would take my business elsewhere. The fact that he thought I would continue taking my dog there is a joke. All I'm asking is: be upfront about your requirements and policies. Stop saying you "recommend" 2-3 visits per month, when you truly REQUIRE it.

    This place was awesome. Had to host a last min. Birthday party for our dogs especially during the heat wave. The attendant and the manager Zack were very attentive and were awesome to work with. They even played 2 dog games which were fun and helped the time go by! Definitely would come back!

    This was the photo I showed to the groomer of what I wanted.

    I took my dog here to be groomed yesterday. I just want to say first that the space is really cute, the shop has some neat stuff for dogs, and the co-owner had great customer service. If I were doing a review of those things, the review would have five stars. The groomer herself seemed nice. I showed her a picture of what I wanted done. The photo was of a Pomeranian with a slightly shorter cut but with his top coat still present. I also said I did not want my dog's fur cut into his undercoat. She said it wouldn't be. Pomeranians have a special double coat that can but shouldn't be cut into. When I picked him up, his fur was much shorter than what I wanted. At the time I figured, why make a fuss about it? The fur is gone. And he still looked cute (but then, he always does). But looking at his haircut today, I am upset that the groomer did not listen to what I wanted. Instead of scissoring his hair, it looks like she just used clippers to shave him down. I would rather she had taken too little fur than too much. I would not recommend bringing a Pomeranian here to be groomed. The more I look at my dog, the lumpier his fur looks because of his undercoat showing through, and the more upset I am that the groomer did not give my dog the cut I asked for. Shaving down a Pom is a big deal, and I'm upset the groomer did it when that was the opposite of what I wanted.

    Thanks Robyn!

    I adopted a wonderful dog from SWWHS, but she doesn't care for new environment and new people, I love that k9 to five has an option to have my dog come in early before there's dogs and people everywhere. Marc was awesome and answered all of my questions over the phone and Robyn took such good care of my girl Coco, she was gentle, patient, and kind giving my dog lots of positive reinforcement! Coco is so happy and clean and smells great once again. Thank you Robyn and k9 to five!

    We have taken our Golden doodle here 3 times. The first time we had Jamie who did a fabulous job. It was a face and feet trim. I would give her 10 stars . The second time we we we had Kaylee. And she did a horrible job. The 3rd time we had Kaylee again and had I would have known she would not have gone. I scheduled a bath , face and feet trim. We have a big very furry puppy. When we got there she said point blank she would not give her a bath. She said she has too much hair and very matted. We spend a lot of care into Molly and we brush her every night. The only way she would give her a bath is if we had her shaved completely. Then it comes out that it would take too long to dry. So I stuck with the face trim. I asked her not to shave the bridge of her nose as she did before. Molly comes out and she shaved her nose again. It's very sad when employees can make the call and not what the clients want. The gentleman at the front desk just said that is the way she is and she makes her calls of what she wants to do. Bad business practice!!

    I love everything about K-9 to Five!! I drop off my crazy doodle Taki about 2 to 3 times a week and as soon as we get off of 14 onto 192nd he starts going crazy he knows exactly where he is going and loves it. Pulling into the parking lot the excitement gets even worse he starts whimpering and barking at this point, I park the car and he is ready to get out anyway possible. As soon as the leash is on and the car door is open he bolts out of the car and runs to the front door. He never bolts like that except for when we get here. He is only 10 months old and I can tell you that even after training etc the socialization is such an important factor. I know he is in safe hands of people who honestly and truly love dogs. As soon as Taki is in the play area I always see John (I hope I spelled his name right) pick up Taki and hug and kiss him. I am thankful that I found an alternative to dog parks. I know that the dogs here aren't aggressive and dog fights won't break out. Chris is very good with the initial temperament testing to make sure that your pup is a fit for the group and monitors that all dogs are up to date on there shots. I wanted a dog for 20 years and as soon as we sent our last kid off to college we figured it was the right time for our family to get one so he is my companion and I love him like I love my kids. I highly recommend K-9 to Five to anyone everywhere I go that has a pup who is looking for a safe, clean and healthy environment where their dogs can play and work out some of that energy or need a quality grooming. I am comfortable and confident in the fact that I know Taki will come home safe and sound (just really tired from all the play and love he gets). Thank you to everyone there from the employees who work in the doggy daycare area or the groomers you all are fantastic!!!

    The groomer Jamie is great! She made our dog looks so cute and adorable. I will definitely be back! He came out super happy and wanting to stay. At the place we use to go he came running out and wanted to leave right away. I can tell he had a good time!

    This was our first time here. Old groomer just disappeared and needed someone fast. They were courteous, accommodating, and our dog loved it. Plus best haircut he has had in ages. Will most definitely bring him back.

    It's really hard to find a groomer that knows how to give a good puppy cut to our cotons. Things…read moretend to turn out looking off and we end up having to fix things on our own to the best of our ability- but not here! They have groomed our 2 coton de tulears many times at this point and every time they come out looking great! No weird long looking poodle ears like the people who like to keep the hair on the ears long, we think they end up looking silly when groomers do that. We told them we prefer shorter ears before their first groom and they have always done it without having to be asked ever since! No weird random chunks of longer hair like when groomers don't take the time to make sure everything is around the same length. A HUGE thing for us is neither have come back from Rustic Mutt with razor burn! I can't tell you how many groomers have ended up at bare minimum giving our little guy razor burn even when we warn them he is prone to it. I've even had to pay for urgent vet appointments they've gotten razor burn from other groomers so bad but never here. Our poor boy used to come home from grooming, appointments, totally miserable and would run from carpet to carpeted area and sit down to try to not feel that irritation on his skin. It was awful and no matter how many times I tried to make sure they were careful , it would always result in razor burn. When we moved here I really wasn't looking forward to finding a groomer again because it's hard to find one I trust because of this. Rustic Mutt put me at ease and the people have been very nice. I always appreciate the option to text them as well as I'm not great at keeping up with the phone sometimes. We went through a really stressful, prolonged time in our lives recently and when we were away almost all the time and when we were local it was busy. I was diagnosed with a very painful disease that has no cure, several surgeries, several rounds of IVF, I could go on. This resulted in my husband and my dogs needing to travel all the time, living in hotels for months while getting care and treatment and some of the surgeries. Since it was such a frenetic time we weren't able to get them in for a regularly timed groom and with all the walking and no access to regular bathing for them they ended up quite matted and dirty by the time we were able to get them in for an appointment. I really did try to brush them and keep up as best I could but at a certain point with them not shedding and their hair getting so long I'm ashamed to say I let it get away from me. They went to such great lengths to cut their hair and not give them razor burn, not shave them all the way down, and they left some of the matts on the counter to show us what they had cut off and how bad the matting had gotten. Contrary to what people might assume I was appreciated of the gentle visual chiding, it shows me they care for the animals. There are only 2 reasons I can't give them the 5th star and it is this: 1) as far as I'm aware they still choose to go off of verbal confirmation that an animal has been receiving their vaccinations & such. Almost every other groomer I've ever worked with (and I've had dogs all my life) required confirmation from an animal's veterinarian that they are up to date and while it's a pain in the butt to constantly keep that updated it also makes me feel safer knowing all the other animals they will be around in the establishment are up to date as well. Verbal confirmation is great but unfortunately I'm sure it's easy for some people to lie. I had a problem once when my dogs were around dogs that weren't up to date and it resulted in one of my dogs being hospitalized, a very heart wrenching experience and expensive mistake that could've been avoided. Just to be clear this didn't happen at Rustic Mutt but a previous place, I'm just explaining why the worry had relevance to me. 2) you generally have to schedule pretty far in advance in my experience to get in generally, especially in the summer, which I understand but unfortunately there are times where you really just need to get your dog in and can't wait several months. I wish that they would/were able to hire more people, even just for bathing services so during the times I can't bathe them regularly it would be great if I could rely on them for that.

It's stressful because she dislikes it so much. Today, everything was different than every other visit. I was not welcomed. The first girl I talked to seemed disinterested and blandly told me she'd be right back. She sent the main groomer out who seemed completely thrown by what I was asking. I have done this very thing numerous times with a previous employee she tells me has "moved on". I can see why! The main groomer said she had to get a dog off the table and would be right back. As I waited, I realized I was about to spend money with someone who couldn't care less about me or my dog. I came home and did the trimming myself, and won't be returning. There are other self dog wash places. Life is expensive and becoming more so. I choose carefully who gets my money. I did the math, and Totally Mutts just basically told me to take my $600 a year somewhere else. You got it!
