I brought my 4-month-old mini schnauzer in for her grooming appointment yesterday. She was…read morecompletely healthy, energetic, and just seen by our vet a week prior with a clean bill of health. Upon check-in, I spoke with the front desk groomer who explained they likely wouldn't do a full haircut due to her age, which I completely understood. However, shortly after they took her to the back, we heard her screaming and barking, which already felt like a red flag. We left the store but received a call within 30 minutes saying they could no longer complete the appointment because her abdomen had become extremely distended and hard. They claimed she drank too much water and expressed concern about possible worms or other health issues, which was frustrating since she had just been cleared by our vet, and there was zero indication of any health concerns when we dropped her off. She was fine. They told us we would need to get her re-evaluated and bring written proof from a vet before they would groom her again. We took her home and, shockingly, she began having seizures within hours. We rushed her to the vet, which resulted in a very expensive emergency bill. I can't say for certain that the seizure was caused by what happened at Petco, but it's hard to ignore the timing and the fact that she was left unattended long enough to drink excessive water, enough to dangerously bloat a small puppy. Whether it was negligence or a lack of proper supervision, it was extremely upsetting and could have ended far worse. We will never be returning to Petco Grooming and will not be bringing our other dogs either. If you have a young or sensitive pup, I strongly suggest going elsewhere where they're better equipped to handle the care and supervision young dogs need.

The owner, Lisa, even picked up a prescription for my dog while he was boarding and I was out of the country. With my dog Riley, they take extra care with getting him settled in and adjusted because he developed a bit of separation anxiety after the pandemic. They always have him looking his best after his every six weeks grooming. To make it easier for me (not having to call for an appointment) they've been booking him out every six weeks for the entire year. It is so easy for me to remember, and they do such a great job with him. I cannot say enough how much trust I have in Lisa and her team at Top Notch. If he needs to be boarded, I know he is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

*This review is in regards to their boarding services only*…read more I have been using Big Basin for over 8 years now. They were recommended to me, because they are capable of accommodating aggressive and/or working dogs. Their kennel set up allows for them to care for dogs without having to enter the kennel. Gary and Peggy are the owners of this company. They have always been a pleasure to deal with for booking boarding dates. I have never had any issues with how they have cared for my dog over the years. My dog always looks healthy, cared for and excited to come home. Their rates are pretty reasonable and are priced by dog sizes. Their prices can be found on their website. They are open most days of the week. They used to have hours posted, but have since changed their hours to appointment only. Although I have never utilized their training services, I have heard good things about their training methods. This is a great option if you're looking for boarding and/or training.

My small 5lb dog needed a core vaccine, and I saw this location was open till 7:30pm. I drove a 40min drive and was turned away from the vet saying they were booked up for the day. With the raising gas prices to almost $6 a gallon, and knowing they had time left till closing, and I wanted a simple vaccine for my dog doesn't seem right to me. That's the 1 star review for this location. P.S: I should've known better because the female vet was turning another client away as I was walking up. Guess that's just how the vet operates.

The trainers genuinely care about helping both dogs and owners succeed. While some of the feedback can be tough to hear at first, its all with the goal of creating clarity and consistency for the dog---and it really works. We quickly realized that many behavior issues came from our own mixed signals or inconsistent commands. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and make sure corrections are fair and appropriate. The progress we've seen has been amazing, and our home is so much more balanced as a result. The classes have also been great for socialization, which we know is just as important as training. Our pup absolutely loves going---it's fun, structured, and rewarding. We'll definitely continue with future classes and highly recommend this program to anyone looking to build a strong bond with their dog.

As the only ones with smaller dogs, we felt she was unpleasant toward us. She spoke to us unkindly and repeatedly tried to push her collars and leashes, insisting that our martingale collars were cheap, even though they worked perfectly throughout the training. Another trainer was also unnecessarily aggressive, making us feel as if we didn't know what we were doing. This treatment occurred every week, leaving us feeling so singled out that we decided to skip the last class and never returned. The classes are also held in a parking lot, depending on the location, which wasn't ideal. After this experience, I found some free online classes that were more effective. I regret paying for the service we received and wouldn't recommend this place unless they take this feedback constructively. Hopefully, both the owner and some of the trainers can work on improving their people skills.
