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?

I thought this was odd since she has never had trouble with grooming before. Once I got her home, I noticed that she had two nicks, one on her face and one on her private area.

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.

I wish we had been in and out quickly, but not on this day. After our dog adoption was complete, I had several things to buy. All good there and several items were on sale, or we had coupons. Very good customer service. 4/5 stars because we were out of the parking lot before I realized I had been charged for 2 bags of dog food. I returned to the store because it was $20. Rather than wait for a refund, I just grabbed another bag of what I had been charged twice for. The cashier was very apologetic and even seemed a little embarrassed.

I'm not sure that'll be true for everyone as I think the bath price takes size and coat into consideration. (Also, they mentioned an upcharge for grooming appointments Friday-Sunday.) Anywho, I called in the morning and they were able to sneak us in for back-to-back appointments that afternoon. As we arrived, we noticed their names were on the salon board out front. Celeb status! We dropped the dogs off and two hours later were called back to the store for pickup. Our babies came back to us soft and sleek, smelling like oranges, and rocking a cool new bandana. We weren't as pleased with their mani/pedis, but that's a shape preference more than anything. Some of the ladies are better at pawdicures than others, oh well. It was great not to have to wrestle the dogs into the tub and then watch everything in my house become one big towel for them lol. The bath service turned out to be super convenient and affordable for us. We're already looking forward to our next visit! -------- We pretty much only come here to get our dogs' nails done. I loved my PetSmart in Arkansas, but this location is slim pickins as far as treats and doesn't run nearly as many deals on toys. Since we only do the pawdicure, it's considered a walk-in (cannot he booked online, as far as I can tell) though there isn't usually much of a wait so we can do both dogs fairly quickly. The pawdicure service for $20 includes a nail trim/grind and cleaning of the ears. The "menu" says it also includes bandana and scented spray and while I don't want either, I've never been offered. By now, my dogs have hassled every tech in the salon and still came out with pretty nails. These ladies are patient and thorough and as far as I can tell, the nicest people in the store. So, 4 stars because I love the grooming salon staff and might just be too picky about the other stuff lol. They just don't have the selection of natural treats I'm looking for and I can get my tough toys cheaper online elsewhere.

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.
