Luna's challenging coat and sensitive nature are treated with expertise and gentle touch, and she comes home smelling delightful with fur that is super-soft, fluffy and shed-free (and with lovely clipped nails). Most wonderful to note, she comes home with a happy Luna Bell smile. Luna has been to several groomers after her rescue, and this is the first time she has been so very beautiful and, more importantly, smiling and happy! Luna will be back and we are grateful to you. Thank you, Stacey and Barky Dogz!

I scheduled with Bubble Buddies primarily because I have a very large and strong dog who is…read morecompletely blind and hates baths. She plants her feet and won't move if she feels pressured. She relies on my voice to calm her and I wanted to be nearby at least at first. This isn't something the nearest groomers would allow, so a mobile groomer seemed ideal. I decided to give a spa day to my second dog at the same time, in part because I wanted to make it worthwhile for this company to come to my house. My second dog doesn't like other dogs so we avoid situations like a groomer's. It was a wonderful experience for all three of us. The groomer had been a vet tech and she sincerely liked my girls. My blind dog, who is shy, trusted her right away and that's unusual. She was sensitive to their personalities and needs and so gentle (yet effective) with them. The groomer was really able to focus on each dog and personalize the grooming experience to them. For example, one dog was afraid of the blow dryer so she skipped that. She was sensitive to their needs, and that, as well as having the van come right to our house, was well worth the cost. I'm so pleased to find a service like this in Humboldt. I'm from Honolulu and we didn't even have one there. My special needs rescue dogs have endured a lot and it gives me great pleasure to treat them well and support people who do the same. I also got a big kick out of the bows on their collars after they were bathed. Generally I see little fluffy dogs with them after grooming. My sweet girls, although vastly different from expensive purebreds, looked even better. I hope this business is successful as I look forward to utilizing their helpful expertise again. Thank you, Bubble Buddies, for treating my dogs with respect and kindness, and giving them a positive grooming experience in a safe environment.

I have them groomed every 6-7 weeks which keeps them clean and looking good. She's also helped when my dogs have been "skunked". She got her smelling much better than I could at home.
