    I was hesitant about my dog getting his teeth cleaned with no anesthesia. We went with K9 Specialty Services and WOW!!! Not only are my pups teeth pearly white again, he was happy. Not traumatized. I highly recommend this company hands down!!!

    This is the most professional, kind, and meticulous dog groomer we have ever had. Our Jack Russell mix has never looked so good!

    So cute!

    Incredible, outstanding and down right amazing!! They are very responsive and kind. We have had our dogs groomed a million times and no one has done the job Johnny did. We are so impressed. Our dogs are happy and perfectly trimmed from head to toe. Thank you so much. I can't wait to book our next appointment.

    Note the missed chunk on the front right paw, the uneven shave on all paws, and the patchy face. The left side of her mouth is bald.

    UPDATE: They are cuts and a bruise. It's very clear now 24 hours later that they're scabbed up, and there are wounds all over her face. This is NOT normal. This man harmed my dog, and now he has nothing to say about it and has not once apologized. This is not acceptable. Stay away! Pics attached. ORIGINGAL: I had really high hopes due to the positive reviews. I generally groom my dog myself as I was taught to by a pro that specializes in Poodles, but she needed a full body clip and I thought why not get a pro and see if they can do it better. She also needed her nails trimmed because I lost my dremel and nail clippers make me nervous. I'd bathed and brushed her without doing a blowout two days before, so she didn't have any mats, and I'd done her ears that morning because she tends toward ear infections and I do them every other day so I can give her meds. All he had to do was a wash, clip, brush, and nail trim. I do that with her once a week. When I got her back, she looked ok at first glance, but on closer inspection, he'd shaved her down to the skin in patches on her face, missed whole chunks of hair at her ankles where it didnt look like he'd even brushed them much less trimmed them, her top knot was extremely uneven, she had a tangled patch by her neck where he didnt brush it after washing it, he hadn't done a sanitary trim around her genitals, her feet were patchy, and worst of all, she had bright red marks on her face. So not only was it a terrible cut that I have to go behind and fix, but she came back with red marks on her face. The only things that really looked good were her nails and the cute bows. I was going to recommend him to my neighbors, but after really seeing how bad it looks and being concerned about his handling, I can't. Plus, he charged me at the highest end of his quoted range to do a job that looked like the first time I ever groomed her as an amateur. It definitely wasn't a professional job by any means. I've seen better from PetSmart. He may be good with short haired dogs, but I wouldn't recommend him for a Poodle, a long-haired one, or one who doesn't like being groomed. REPLY TO COMMENT: I've clipped her face dozens of times w/o a guard and never left marks on her. I don't know you. All I know is my dog came back w/red marks that match up with fingers on her face after you had her alone. If I *wasn't* worried about the possibility that you'd been too rough with her, *that* would be concerning. She came back from a grooming with marks. That's important to share. Exactly how they got there may be speculation, but given that she has no skin conditions, there's no good reason for marks to be on her. Abrasions or burns from shaving may be your 'normal,' but they are not normal, and if you're satisfied with this quality, you should probably reconsider doing Poodles as they require skill to do right. The only time her coat has ever been as patchy as it is was the first time I did it myself. She has several strips that are shaved to the skin and other places where it isn't. There's a completely bald strip by her mouth. What I requested was that she keep the cut I had her in, that it look like she had leg warmers and flowy 60s hair, and that her face be clipped because she'd gotten a little gum on her nose. The basic shape was right, yes, but the cut itself is uneven, patchy, and choppy, her ankles have entire sections by her feet that were missed, and her tail and genital area isn't done at all. That's not '70s wild'; it's just a bad haircut. If I'm paying $125 for a grooming, I don't expect perfection, but I do expect it to be done right. Also, my Yelp is under my first and married names. Kate O. is the name I gave you as it's my middle and maiden name. The only thing I've groomed professionally are horses over a decade ago, and I'd gladly support your business had the cut been satisfactory. Again, given that you left marks on her, whether from rough handling or bad clipping, intentional or not, I'm concerned and not comfortable letting you touch my dog again. What I believe is you were in a rush because of the weather, did a subpar job, and handled her impatiently whether with hands or clippers. You did a crap job and don't even have the decency to acknowledge it and just apologize. Instead you choose to be rude and accuse me of nefarious purposes in reviewing your bad work. I'm out of space to discuss further. I'm not trying to get anything from you. I don't want a refund or your return. I just won't be using you again.

Since her first July 4th scare-the-heck-out-of-dogs experience she has been scared, skittish, and just wants to go home. (fireworks SUCK) But in AGAIN! In comes Meggo's and the staff. She comes in, wary, a little scared, but the staff comes and brings her right back in. Even tho I take her potty beforehand (literally in the grass outside of the shop) she almost always has a nervous accident. I always apologize but the staff literally just says "no worries, we LOVE HER". I also really want to emphasize that they do not do cages here. Dogs get to interact with each other and be themselves with people and dogs alike. Love Meggo's, I am a customer for life!

    We have gone here for several years and we used to have great grooming for our dogs, but the last…read moretwo times (spaced out about a year because of the previous poor cut) the dogs have not looked like Westies's, which is what we ask for. I've had Westies for 25 years and always ask for the same thing no matter where I go home even if it's PetSmart and this last time my dogs look like they've been buzzed. Not at all what I asked for and all you get is excuses from them about not understanding when I was very clear and there are notes from prior visits. I told them I specifically did not want to fight, but that I wanted a westie cut that was shorter than a show dog which is very long skirt. The Prices have been $80 a dog and now they're going up to $100 a dog. Even at 80+ tax plus tip we're looking at over $100 and my expectation is that they follow directions and ask questions if they are not clear.

    I was hesitant to leave an honest review due to the unprofessional responses the owner is leaving,…read morehowever I've determined that my dogs safety and awareness is more important. When making an appointment I made it clear that I only wanted a bath, brush, de-shed, and nail trim. I wanted nothing cut or trimmed at all. The gentleman on the phone assured me that they wouldn't do anything but that (as I do the rest myself at home). When I picked up my dog the groomer I was told that I would have a $15 additional charge since my dog was "difficult to handle" (this had never been an issue at any of the groomers he has been to so I was shocked but none the less complied). She then informed me that she scratched my dogs nose with the brush. I wasn't worried about it at first because I figured it was an honest mistake, it didn't look noticeable at the time, and I appreciated her telling me upfront. I paid and went home. Once I got home his nose was bleeding and he kept licking his private. I took a closer look and saw that not only did they cut around his stomach, they cut the tip of his private and it was also red bleeding. I know that it is customary to do a hygienic clip during a groom but I specifically asked for nothing but the bath and NO CUT AT ALL. My poor dog is now having to wear a cone to prevent him from getting an infection where they cut his private. His nose is starting to heal thankfully but I'm still very concerned about his other injury. I'm disappointed and heart broken that my baby is suffering from something that never should have happened.

    Barky Mountain - stellar business! Best haircut EVER for my (formerly shaggy) Old English Sheepdog…read more Tori is amazing and pulled off an adorable panda/teddy bear haircut... despite some matting- looks flawless. And she even added cute pigtails with bows. This business is busy (I'm glad- hope they remain around for a long time) so they book sometimes 2-3 months out, but don't let that deter you, just plan ahead or ask if they can place you on the waitlist. To their credit, they actually remember to call you when they have openings! (I was able to get in today instead of waiting for an appointment in March.) Thank you Tori and the entire staff!

    As challenging as an experience as this was, I am so thankful for Caring Pathways and the service…read morethey provided. Their staff, across the board, greeted us with only compassion and kindness. Kerry M. was our vet and she walked us through every step, educated us, was patient, and was so kind to Iverson and us. I had to cancel the first appointment because I was not ready to say goodbye. They offer a cancellation window up to 4 hours before your appointment and allow you to carry over your deposit to when you reschedule, with no extra fee. So thankful for this understanding. The cost may feel steep, but the in-home service is so so worth it. Iverson had his last meal while the pain meds were administered. It was a distraction where he didn't even notice. He felt safe and comfortable in his home, surrounded by family and on his favorite couch. He was then given a sedation medicine where he drifted into a nap on my chest. When the final medicine was given, he felt no pain as he crossed the rainbow bridge. I have heard horror stories from other in home service companies. I had 3 friends use Caring Pathways and that is why we went with them. I am so grateful and thankful that we chose to work with Caring Pathways. It helps with acceptance and closure and provides a peaceful passing. I will forever recommend them to other family and friends who need to say goodbye to a family pet member.

They were respectful,…read morelet us choose the spot, offered mementos as a part of the experience, and gave us as much time as we needed throughout. There was so much empathy throughout the experience, that it took away the awkward or embarrassing concerns. They also offered counseling services. Afterwards we received a beautiful carved wooden box to hold the ashes- we were not expecting anything this nice. To me, this was worth the higher price you pay- rather than going to the vet to do this.
