I must say I disagree with the previous poster. This is…read morewhere I bring my cat every March to get him ready for the summer. Cats can be a pain in the butt to groom or shave, and they do a great job, even though I'm sure he puts them through hell! They are a little pricey, but so are any decent pet grooming places. But, they always shave him nice, and give him a nice little shampoo, and he's always happy and rejuvenated when he leaves.

My toy poodle had the best grooming ever since I got her just under 2 years ago. I got a call at…read morearound 12:15 saying she was ready for pick up. They also said they would be closing no later than 1 PM that day. So I rushed over to pick her up. I waited almost 5 minutes, trying to get their attention to let them know that I was here to pick up my dog. While I was waiting, I saw through the window that a groomer was working with a Yorkie. She reached behind her, grabbed an rice crispy, treat, took a bite, and put it back behind her. The Yorkie got excited and she smacked the dog, upside it snout and firmly told the dog know. Then another lady came in to pick up her toy poodle, and I told her what I just witnessed. We looked through the glass again and the groomer smacks the Yorkie once again on this now. I struggle with that issue. My dog is a rescue dog and was abused prior to being rescued. I will not tolerate anyone abusing my dog while she's getting groomed. It was not a hard smack. But it was enough to let me know I would not ever want her to groove my dog there. So, although the grooming was near perfection, I don't want to take my dog there ever again.

This place is infuriating…read more Just inside the door to the right, there's a "display" of dozens of small glass bowls. Each of these bowls contain two things; water and a single fish. A single fish that spends it's entire life just floating in the center of a bowl. Anyone who doesn't think fish are sentient and need engagement likely needs assistance with any simple concept. Anyone who doesn't think these fish are being tortured needs to spend a few years of their pathetic life in a cell with NOTHING but an occasional meal. Disgusting.

Mortified! This has been my preferred pet store for the last 8-10 years and I've always felt like…read morethey cared for their animals more than most chain pet stores until today. About a year ago I got a mouse from there that had mites but I assumed it was a fluke. We went in to maybe get a new hamster but pretty much all of them were covered in mites and looked like they were suffering. 2 of them looked far worse then the rest and it was very upsetting to see them on display like that to be sold. There were even gnats flying around their tanks. We decided to move on to the fish in hopes they would be fine to look at, WRONG! There were handfuls of dead fish stuck on a filter and on the bottom of the tank. I understand animals can come in sick or develop things but then why not keep them in the back to be treated instead of putting their suffering on display? Absolutely so disheartened by the care there. I know it doesn't make a difference to a big ugly corporation like that but we will not be returning ever again!

Pricing is moderate as we have aong haired dog. I gave them a 4 because they do not have a seperate grooming door. That's problematic for me because: 1) when there are events in store its hard to get to the grooming area 2) grooming opens before the store but there isn't a doorbell to get someone to come to the door to open it

When we did our morning walk, we took the big cookie with us. As we meet her neighborhood friends, we broke off a piece of the big cookie and shared her celebration. The staff was new to me, but I was happy to see they still provided the good customer service that Four Muddy Paws is known for.

When I went a few weeks ago, it was Baxter's 2nd birthday so I let him sniff around and choose his birthday toy and treat. He was very excited to see other dogs walking around and wanted to be friends with everyone (humans and dogs)! The store offers a wide variety of treats as well as specialty treats for birthdays and gotcha days. The workers were also so friendly and when it was time to check out, I signed up for their rewards program and since it was our first time (and a birthday), they also gave me a small discount - which was much appreciated. I now know exactly where to go when Baxter needs more treats or toys. This local shop is just perfect for my little fur baby!
