My dogs leg

This place is horrible! My Groomer was 20 minutes late, which was very frustrating . As I was waiting, I saw one of the groomers in my opinion, mistreating a dog while she was cutting the dog hair! The dog started snarling at her because she kept grabbing his paws aggressively! Then, she was chastising the dog for not being still! In my opinion, she was too rough and mean to the dog! When I returned to pick up my dog, the woman gave me my receipt with no explanation. I paid the bill I came back and another woman was extremely rude. Everyone there was rude and had an attitude !! They gave me my dog. I gave a tip ( which I shouldn't have) to someone other rude women who wasn't my dog groomer . She takes the tip and didn't even say thank you! I find them to be so rude and disrespectful to humans and pets. I haven't been happy going here the past few times but it was very convenient. The last straw was the mistreatment of that dog . It was in plain view might I add! I can only imagine what is done in the back of the house. I will not be returning to have my dog groomed here because of the unprofessionalism, and in my opinion, the mistreatment of animals! They new staff , better training and supervision!!!!

this was my puppy second time at Pet Smart groomers on Atlantic Ave. the first time was okay, but the groomer seemed a bit annoyed when I got there at 3pm so this time I opted for an early morning appt. 9am. the Groomer Lexi G she was late but apologize, however we discussed my dogs grooming package and I left around 9:20am. although she was late he was finished on time, or probably before time. my dog was hairless except for his tail. she cut all of his hair completely off, and I'm pretty sure the clippers were hot on him because he has red marks and you can see where he was cut really close. i still tipped but I won't be returning. I don't like their service at pet smart will be trying Petco.

Groom For all the scary reviews for this location, I wanted to write an honest review about a good experience. A friend of ours with the same dog has been here three times and has not had any issues. After being told by other groomers that they were "too busy" to take my dog without a regular appointment, I decided to give them a try. I have a very curly Australian labradoodle, so matting is very common. I booked online with Lexi G and she was great. She listened to me, told me she wouldn't shave her and gave me actual peace of mind. She explained that there was matting in areas but that she would do her best to make sure to get the matts out but give her a full coat. I have been to other groomers in the area who have said that and continued to shave her despite telling me they wouldn't, I've also had groomers shout at me. We all know how this works; if you don't brush your dog regularly and they're a breed that matts, you shouldn't be surprised if they come back shaved. It's awful, but true and I know that when I go to groomers. But - this is the first time a groomer has worked with me. We identified the matts together, and Lexi was true to her word and understood my concerns, professional, explained everything to me and was done in three hours. I will definitely to be coming back here again - ask for Lexi G! I would get one of the earliest appointments so your pup is taken in first.

Service description

Grooming: I take my dog here to get groomed frequently because it is convenient and he goes to Banfield in the same PetSmart. I booked a "Bath & Brush" service in October. Then yesterday(December) I booked the same bath and brush service and both times, that is all he got. The bath service describes that it includes a nail trim, sanitary trim, feet trimmed, etc...(pic) Nothing. He literally only got a bath and brush. Both of these services were booked with the groomer Faith. Faith clearly doesn't care to do her job or is just lazy. The service is listed as $40, ends up being $45 when booked and then ~$48 after taxes. AND then a tip. The first bath service I included the CHI package which then came to about $70. He received nothing in the CHI package. And I know this because I add the CHI to his full haircuts. Very disappointing. I am wasting money here. I had a great "Bath & Full Haircut" experience with Suzanne(?) Last month(Nov), one of the only great experiences I've ever had here. I always ask that they do not shave him down and they ALWAYS do. She is the only person who listened to what I'd like for my pet. While Suzanne gave me some hope, there have been too many poor experiences that outweigh the good. I am going to find a smaller groomer to visit who will actually pay attention to the service they are providing.

Finished haircut !

See all

My cats are friendly at baseline, but she expressed how she adored them, as did the other grooming staff, and how well they did.

It's hard finding a shop that offers hand stripping especially at a decent price so I thought I hit…read morethe jackpot when I found this place, unfortunately I'm going to have to keep searching. I was very specific with my instructions. No clippers, full hand strip, trim only as needed. I provided reference photos of what I wanted and even offered to send a website link that had a detailed description of how to groom this breed (since it's not one many people have ever seen, let alone worked on) along with diagrams but the person I spoke to said it wouldn't be needed. Wearily, I took her word. What I got back was not what I was expecting and frankly, it doesn't look the best. My dog is not a schnauzer, but they seemed to have given him a schnauzer skirt for some reason. He's overtrimmed when the breed is meant to look rough and natural. Besides that, the handstrip job itself looks decent with very minimal balding so that's one of the positives. I'm just disappointed that my instructions and references weren't followed as closely, especially for the price I paid.

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and to inform you that I will no longer be…read morereturning as a client. Despite specifically asking that my deceased dog not be mentioned, this boundary was disregarded. That alone was upsetting and unacceptable. In addition, over the past four years I have spent hundreds of dollars at your establishment, yet I have repeatedly experienced incomplete grooming services while still being charged the full amount each time. I also do not understand why it consistently takes four hours to groom a five-pound dog, particularly when details are routinely missed. Beyond the services themselves, there has been a persistent lack of acknowledgment and basic client consideration, which is disappointing given the length of time I've been coming to you (since 2019). I am generally a very easygoing person, but between the repeated boundary violations, the inconsistency in services provided, and the lack of accountability, I have lost all confidence in your business. I will not be returning.

My RATING is ZERO STARS! The website won't let me put ZERO…read more My sweet dog Miles (a Bedlington Terrier) is not easy to groom and he is very scared of other dogs. Miles and my partner and I have been working with a wonderful dog behaviorist, Heidi, for over a year now. Heidi has helped Miles have a happier life. Heidi spent a while trying to help us find a good groomer for Miles. (The one groomer that Miles loved recently moved to Florida.) Heidi spoke with Ania for at least 20 minutes and I spoke with her for about 15 minutes, both of us explained the special needs of Miles. In particular, we explained that he is scared of grooming and scared of other dogs. We also had a preference for a groomer who was not a man, since Miles feels less comfortable with men. Both of us told Ania we were willing to wait until she returned from her vacation so she could groom Miles instead of her recommendation, Gabriel. Ania insisted that we use Gabriel, that he is very good with all dogs. Both Heidi and I complied with Ania's wishes based on her recommendation. She suggested we have the first appointment at 10am so no other dogs were present. We trusted Ania. Imagine our surprise when we arrived and there were four dogs in the shop at the same time as Miles!! Worse still Gabriel told us that he knew NOTHING about our special requests for Miles!! Apparently, Ania ignored everything Heidi and I discussed with her. Miles, Heidi and I left, never to return again. From the looks of a few reviews we are not the first to complain about Ania not listening to requests. Conclusion: if you have any special requests for your dog DON'T USE BFF PETWASH!!!

Ania and the team at BFF pet wash are great! I've brought my dog here many times for grooming and…read morethey always do a great job and are super quick! I recently started the dental cleaning that Gabriel does and my vet was so impressed at my dog's teeth on her last appt. Definitely recommended! Thanks again guys!
