I couldn't tell you how they are, and I rarely post reviews, but I had the rudest conversation I…read morethink I've ever had with the person who picks up the phone. Jake I think? Maybe Sean. Never had a dog grooming, I call to ask how much they charge to bring my dog in for a wash and brush. "FOR WHAT?" He blurts back at me irritated Again, I have never had a dog wash before and was curious. "I don't know, just like your normal wash and brush I guess?" "FOR WHAT, DUDE? FOR WHAT? HOW BIG WHAT BREED WHENS THE LAST GROOMING?" The guy really aggressively fired back. I just responded "I'm going to hang up now, bye" First of all, don't "DUDE" me you f--ing douchebag, I would be IMMEDIATELY fired from my job if I talked to my customers like you. How am I supposed to know what you mean by farting "FOR WHAT?" repeatedly out of your face. Second of all, your prices weren't listed. I literally didn't know this is how you factored pricing, so don't get aggressive with me for not knowing your intricate pricing system. Literally why I called, to learn how much to pay. Or in your words "FOR WHAT?!" If anybody has a dog grooming business that isn't gonna yell at you for not knowing their opaque pricing system I'm open. I haven't even posted a review in several years, and when I do it's generally go give praise. But this guy was such a Jagoff with a Capitol J that I wanted to save everyone else some time. I can't wait for the ChatGPT written response explaining how there must've been a misunderstanding (there wasn't) or they're sorry I wasn't a good fit and it's my fault somehow. I would never take my animal to a place where some dude is this quick to aggression FOR WHAT it's worth you knowing --------EDIT BELOW-------- thank you for taking the time to explain your pricing now that you've had a moment to compose yourself. However, you literally kept yelling "FOR WHAT?" when I asked you what you charged. Any normal professional adult would go " yeah it depends on animal and which service you're looking for" MY memory is off??? You are literally lying and attempting to gaslight. You responded "FOR WHAT?!" after I ask what you charged. I said I was unsure and your basic and you went "FOR WHAT DUDE, FOR WHAT?" And angrily started listing out a bunch of factors in rapid succession. I told you here I was going to hang up here because you were too angry to work with. My memory is pristine and I documented this immediately because I've never been talked to like this. "Making a mark" oh my God I haven't written a review in years and don't intend to again. I predicted you would blame this on me somehow, you got aggressive with me on the phone for not understanding your unclear pricing and now you're trying to gaslight and lie about the exchange. Thanks for the courage that literally anyone can be a business owner. If you want to take your animal to a business where the owner is going to argue with you and lie/gaslight your experiences to you instead of taking accountability, the grooming lodge is for you!

They are loving and caring and take care to make sure all our pets are well looked after. We trust them to stay in our home while we are away and to ensure that someone is there when they are supposed to be. They are a small business and do not have the resources nor the legal requirements to make accommodations for a special needs employee. I appreciate that they even gave someone an opportunity and disappointed that when it didn't work out instead of accepting the result graciously they are being bad mouthed by a disgruntled former employee. The care for animals at Arroyo Pet is excellent and we will continue to use their services as we trust they will ensure someone is there when they are supposed to be.

The entire facility was filthy, dirty--hair piled up everywhere, full trash cans, and a horrible smell that tells me they don't properly clean or disinfect between dogs. Somehow, my dog managed to leave looking and smelling worse than when I brought him in. His cut is completely uneven, he still smells dirty, and he was covered in stray hair from other dogs. Save your money and your peace of mind. This place is unprofessional, unhygienic, and has zero pride in their work.

And it's important for your dogs to be cared for so if you only take them when things get bad with their coat it's a difficult fix that takes time. I found it best to set up regular visits as this really helps keep the dogs coats as they should be and the dogs get familiar with the process. My initial plan was to keep my Havanese with her hair long. Well it's curly to and I tired then decided it's best to let Andrea take care of it and it was the best decision ever. Like everything in life regular maintenance is required. Thanks for all you do !!!

I have been going to Andrea for over 15 years, and am on my 3rd dog with her. I am well past my…read moretime for leaving the review that Andrea deserves. Andrea is a phenomenal groomer who will not only groom your dog as asked, but treats your dog as if they were her own. Many times she has caught health issues that my vet couldn't find. There is never any judgment, just honest communication so you can address things if necessary. Down to the tiny bumps and lumps that most dog owners miss. If you have never groomed your dog yourself, you will never truly be able to understand the dedication, awareness and communication that is required to do this job. As someone who has attempted to groom my own dogs, the respect for Andrea is immense. If you love your dogs and consider them members of your family, Andrea is the groomer for you. There is personally not a single negative thing I could say about her (coming from a service based small business owner). Just book your appointment and you will see why she is the best in the area!

I would not recommend the training services here. I brought my dog in for a week long board and…read moretrain (she was a foster fail, and I wanted her to learn basic obedience). For some context, my dog was found in a forest preserve as a young dog and so she had very little socialization with humans. She was awkward around my friends and family but would quickly warm up and play with them. When I went to pick her up at the end of the week, I did the hour-long session with Mike, and the whole time I noticed she was cowering every time he would raise his hand or go near her. This was not the goofy, happy dog I brought it. When I brought her home, I didn't notice anything unusual, and I had some friends come over about a week later. My dog, who had met all these people multiple times, was growling and visibly stressed to the point that she nipped my best friend, thankfully no skin was broke but we were both shocked. Prior to this incident, she had never nipped anyone or even gotten mouthy during playtime. When I called Jen about this incident, she brushed it off as my dog "testing boundaries". I received no support or advice on how to handle this situation. Since then, she has become more untrusting of humans (other than me) to the point where I can't have people come over because of her fear reactivity. I'm now working with a behaviorist to work on these issues and get her to a place of being more comfortable around people. I always look back and think that if I hadn't sent her there, she would be a very different dog now. **I'd like to note that I've since taken her to a daycare/boarding facility that she absolutely loves, and everyone there loves her. I'd taken her there once prior to this board and train, and it is now my go to place for her whenever I'm out of town. They were shocked when I told them about her reactivity, as they've never seen her express those behaviors and she's extremely well taken care of.

Our dog, Remi, has enjoyed their daycare, boarding, grooming, and most recently, a training class. The team has been absolutely fantastic to work with, and it's clear that each member genuinely loves what they do. In a time when customer service often feels lacking, especially post-COVID, their dedication is truly refreshing. Their prices are very reasonable, and I always feel confident knowing that Remi is in excellent hands. On a side note, my husband and I visited unexpectedly on the first day, and they kindly gave us a tour right away, which really eased our minds about their care for the pups. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with everything they offer! We even got a cute little holiday paw print gift which was such a nice surprise!

Thank GOODNESS for WLPI! I was starting to think we would never find a place that would be a good…read morefit for our 8lb small mini dachshund puppy who has separation anxiety. I drive 20-25 min each way to go here--it is that special. Impressive: Immediately, you are offered a tour of the entire place--not just the kennels and play areas but also the back rooms. Nothing to hide. You see the grooming rooms, the laundry, the feeding prep room... Security is serious. Unlike a different place where I walked in off the street to find my dog unattended behind the front counter in the lobby, here, the front door is always locked and you are let in. No one can walk in. I like that security for the dogs--think of how many small dogs are stolen from pet stores and dog walkers. These pups are expensive and easy targets. The dogs go outside every day, unless the weather is really bad. It is quieter than all the other daycares I visited. The dogs bark, but it has never been extreme. The dogs get naptime (and optional lunch if yours eats lunch) in the middle of the day. There are many levels of care, not just one or two. My girl is a lovey dovey clinger and doesn't want to be with the high energy dogs. She will run and play for a small while, sure, but I don't bring her to daycare to "get her energy out." She normally rests a lot during the day at home, and I want the same at daycare. WLPI accommodates this. No reservations required for daycare--they are helpful but you can walk in that day if you are already registered/a customer. Sometimes life happens. I try to reserve when I know she is coming but I have had a time or two where I couldn't. White picket fenced corrals for boarding, not chain link fences or metal kennels. It is very homey. Our dog has gone many times, once a week and really seems to do well. The staff if very, very nice. We haven't used the grooming yet because I don't want to introduce anything possibly negative to her. We will get her there. For now she gets her nails trimmed locally because she hates it so much. I want WLPI to be all positives for her. The only thing I really wish for, is cameras like other facilities. I would leave her longer and more often if these were present. Cameras probably at least double the days that I go. Seeing her would let me know what she is up to and what kind of day she is having. If she is quiet, I would get her some exercise, vs if she is active, I would have her chill. Cameras would be especially reassuring for boarding. Password protected cameras help ensure that only clients can view the footage, especially if you update the password often.
