I wish I had listened to the previous reviews.
There are serious issues with how this grooming business is run, starting with their outdated scheduling system. Everything--from appointments to pet details--is handwritten, which looks unprofessional and feels disorganized. It's clear they're in desperate need of a digital overhaul.
But worse than the disorganization was the experience my dog (and I) had during our visit.
Here's what happened:
* 9:00 AM: I dropped off my dog for her scheduled grooming appointment. I was told I'd receive a call when she was ready.
* 12:34 PM: I hadn't heard anything, so I called to check in and confirm they had my correct number (given their handwritten system). I was told they were fully booked and that someone would call me--but no update was given on where she was in the process, or if she had even been started.
* 2:30-2:45 PM: After talking to friends and confirming that waiting over 5 hours with no updates was unreasonable, I decided to go get my dog.
* Around 2:50 PM: I arrived--not because I was called, but because my dog had now been there nearly SIX hours. When I asked for her, I was told she wasn't ready and that I needed to pay before they would release her.
* I requested a discount, as I had just been told she was only partially groomed. The staff said they couldn't approve that.
* 2:55 PM: I paid the full grooming fee of $51.50 for incomplete service just to get my dog back.
She now has to be taken to another groomer to finish the job, particularly her face and possibly other areas that were left undone.
This experience left me deeply concerned--not just as a customer, but as a pet owner.
Grooming can be stressful for pets, and leaving a small dog kenneled for six hours without a potty break is unacceptable. There was no communication, no apology, and no accommodation for the delay or incomplete service.
This raises several serious questions:
* Why are they booking more appointments than they can reasonably handle?
* Why charge full price for only partial service?
* Why keep dogs kenneled for hours on end when proper scheduling and staffing could prevent that?
My dog--and all dogs--deserve better care than this.
0/10. I do not recommend.

Her response tells me exactly what I needed to know about doing business here. Exaggerate, embellish, accuse, and fail to mention anything that matters. read more
