Hazel and Cheyenne look forward to seeing Lydia every time. When we want a quick and affordable grooming, Pawsitivity is our first and only choice. They are great! From personal experience, I would suggest anyone to take their pet there for the greatest care. And that is our little Lulu in their profile picture! They treated her like royalty, whenever she went in. Super detailed care and a humane disposition is what makes them our premier groomer.

They will cancel your appointment and will not notify you. In January my cavalier was scheduled for…read morea groom; normally Gail would send a text and confirm but she didn't. I called and was told she was going to have abdominal surgery. I am sure this was unavoidable but don't you think you should give your client's a head up. Was I supposed to drive all the way there and find out the appointment was canceled. Also when our appointment was rescheduled, we sat directly in front of the window and no one came to door. The closed sign was out and the front light was not turned on. Someone did peek out the window and knew we were there but did not come to the door. While sitting there another groomer came to work; so at least two people knew we were there. No respect for her clients. Don't waste your time here. In addition if they treat humans this way what about your pet?

Hey, Qwen! Maybe this will get your attention…read more I've never posted something like this about a local business, typically I'd have a conversation with said business in private- however, do NOT take your pets to: Gwen's Pet Grooming Inc. - Cedar Rapids I wanted to share our recent experience with Gwen's Pet Grooming who we were referred to for our 2.5-year-old, 7lb Pomeranian. When we picked her up, they made us pay before handing her over. Right after, they casually mentioned, "Sorry, we accidentally gave her brush burn. We didn't do the Teddy Bear cut because there are different variations, but next time we'll get it right...oh and she has sores all over her back from the burn" My husband immediately requested to be refunded and asked to speak to the owner, but we weren't refunded, and the owner hasn't called. Our dog was starting to show signs of distressed, so we decided to leave so we could assess her and take appropriate next steps. We have been able to assess her and found she has red spots all over her back and at least four open wounds that are still bleeding and dried blood on her back where she had been bleeding. The parts that are open and bleeding she won't let us get picture's because yelps and tries to nip at us when we touch her near those areas- which is so out of character for her. *She lets us get a good look at them at first, we did have to hold her down because she was yelping* We're now taking her to the vet to get checked out. I really regret not doing more research before trusting this place. Be careful where you take your pets- even if it's a referral from a friend. The pictures are of the red marks that aren't open wounds- if, and IF this is "brush burn" they had to have been incredibly forceful on a 7lb dog. I'm sure I'll be blocked by Qwens within the hour, that seems to be the way she rolls instead of dealing with situations head on.

Not with $20 let alone $126. Here are pics of her recent groom job yesterday. I asked that they keep her long and that didn't happen and instead even shaved her bald in sections and very uneven everywhere. She didn't even have any mats yet, but that was her excuse. The pics don't even do it justice. Update: The owner did reach out and refunded the visit. She did want me to bring my dog back in for her to see (which I initially took offense to as if she didn't believe the obvious pictures but that is not why according to her).By then it would not look exactly the same since I had to do something to try to even things out while it grew out and I didn't want to cause my dog undue stress since I was not going to have anyone else mess with her at this time.. Luckily, it will grow back and eventually be back to normal but would be hard for me to be okay with same shop even with different groomer at this point.
