My wife and I boarded our two Maltese dogs here from May 31 to June 7, 2026…read more Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We left 16 packets of Cesar wet dog food along with both written and verbal instructions that each dog was to receive one packet per day. We provided 2 packets for immediate feeding and 14 additional packets for the rest of the stay. When we picked up our dogs, we were given 11 packets back. That means only 5 packets were used during an 8-day stay, despite our clear feeding instructions. We were also given back 100% of the dog treats we had left for them. In addition, we provided enough heart medication for our female dog, who has a heart murmur, to cover the entire boarding period. The night before pickup, we received a call stating they had run out of her medication. However, when we picked up our dogs, we were given 4 pills back. This raises serious concerns about whether her medication was administered properly and consistently. My wife called to discuss these issues with management and spoke with Wynona. Rather than addressing our concerns, she felt talked over and dismissed. For nearly $600 in boarding fees, we expected our dogs' feeding and medication instructions to be followed carefully. Instead, the response we received felt indifferent and lacked accountability. It's especially disappointing because we've had positive experiences here in the past. The groomers do a great job, but we've also experienced delays in being notified when grooming appointments were complete, sometimes waiting hours before receiving a pickup call. Based on this experience, we will not be returning for boarding services, and we are considering other options for grooming as well. I will also be contacting corporate regarding these concerns.

We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

Love Petco! I used to dislike this store. The staff was not interested in me as a customer. I just…read moregot a blah feeling about this store. Over the years, though, they have evolved into a store that truly cares about you and your pets. When I go to this store, they know me by name. That alone makes a world of difference. They carry only the best products and I love their Vital Care reward program. I get coupons every month and it helps. I have two small dogs. I get them groomed here and have complete faith and trust in their groomers. They even reminded me that one dog was due her rabies vaccination. The staff has been super friendly and helpful. One night I got to the register and had forgotten to put my wallet in my purse when I changed purses. I had no way to pay for my grooming. They helped me figure out a low-stress solution. I could not be more grateful and happy. They always call my dogs by name and remember them. The prices are reasonable and the services exceptional. This store is easy access, too. It's easy to navigate and you can park close to the store. This is a smallish store but they always have a good stock of items. No empty shelves or outdated products. It is big enough, though, to have a dog training center in the center part of the store. I've used their buy online and pick up in store option several times. Could not be easier. They've always had my purchases in stock and ready for my pickup. Great store, great price but, more importantly, great people.

She is so kind to send you updates. She also watches their health very closely. Vega started to show signs of a hotspot and she immediately notified me and helped me get the proper care for him. I got back a puppy that was potty trained!!!!!! No accidents since he has been home. He also know Sit, Come, Down. We are working more on the leash. I had a surprise work trip this week. She was able to take Vega for those days and help me with keeping the leash training going. She is so accommodating and knowledgeable. This is the best investment I could have made!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would.

The staff, from the phone call to when I got there were friendly. Came to this place even though they charged me double the money than at other salons because I saw it had good reviews and references. Clearly it was a mistake. My baby since he got back from the groomer doesn't stop shaking his head and scratching one ear like it bothers him. I was very clear and detailed regarding the grooming including his ears, but he came back with his ears FULL of hair and very dirty. I'm very disappointed. I hope my dog doesn't develop an ear infection, which he has never had.

I am fully satisfied with both the training and the Trainer. The trainer was here for as long as 2…read morehours and didn't look at his watch either. Every soft hearted person her accusing the collar of being abuse is out of their mind and naive. You know the trainers that board your dog for two weeks and the come back different? Well, they don't want you to see what they do, including a training collar and then require more training if the dog is extremely stubborn. My wife was worried about the collar. The first thing the trainer did when he pulled out the collar - I said, OK my wife is worried that this will scare and damage the dog. I said, put the thing on high and shock me. He did. it is the same thing I do to myself with the Power Dot, an amazing TENS unit to help sore muscles. My wife also uses it. I then had him do it to her. She understood that lightning bolts are not coming out of it. The problem is that dogs don't speak english and live on instinct. They are like young children that unless you can ncommunicate a negative response to their behavior and give them the proper direction, they grow up to be animals. For all the Caesar Milan fans out there ( of which I am one )- He does not teach dogs obedience. He is a 'dog psychologist who us flooding'. This is now frowned upon in the psychiatric community as abusive. Yet it is the only way to get someone to master their fears. After 6 weeks, the effort of my dog and our learning the basic commands which are simplified, is absolutely amazing. I wish I had learned this method on my GSD. He was a good natured Dog but his negative reactivity was a problem sometimes. My Bluetick Coonhound, my second one, is a rescue. No one wanted her because of her high energy and seeming food aggression due to living starved for several months. All is well and unless you speak DOG and they fear and respect and love you enough to listen to you when they begin to do what they want to do, you need training. It passed my WIFE test. That is enough said. She is an animal lover to the extreme in the sense she couldnt bear to hurt an animal. One thing, there are like 6 trainers. Unless you are working with the owner, you need to speak to your actual trainer.

"No injury or damage to the dogs, it's like a tens unit." In my house, Our dogs are family and we do not tolerate any type or abuse or neglect.

This is a joke and you are not an animal lover only an animal ABUSER. We would never allow the third session, so this work is far from finished. immediately removed the collars for good. Had to rush to the vet. Tom showed no remorse or concern for my dogs. Tom should be ashamed of himself. BUYER BEWARE.

My Annie got butchered at her last grooming appointment. I decided to try a new groomer but along…read morewith that comes fear and trepidation. You don't want to leave your baby with just anyone. I asked all my friends with dogs, I posted on Facebook and the unanimous answer I received was to go to Shelbie at Absolute Pawfection. I made the appointment and showed up promptly for Annie's grooming. Shelbie could not have been better. She did a fabulous job. Before the appointment she had sent out a text message saying customers needed to allow four hours for services but she was finished with Anne in just over an hour. Annie looked adorable, too. Her tail was wagging and she was as happy with her experience as I was. Absolute Pawfection is located in a stand-alone building and it's a sizeable place. Shelbie has basically turned two separate stores into one big grooming facility. There is plenty of parking and the business is easy to access. I got there around 7:45 am and the place was buzzing with activity. The inside is nicely decorated with lovely paintings of animals. There is a gorgeous cat, Chores, who served as the greeter. Chores made me smile. The price was very reasonable. I have paid more for worse service elsewhere. I liked the way Shelbie and Mandi were with the animals. Annie was not nervous or afraid at all. There was just a great vibe about this establishment. I was so pleased I made a repeat appointment. Highly recommended! Woof Woof (from Annie).

I left a desperate voicemail with Absolute Pawfection with a plead for help, and they called me back at 8:30pm (way past closing time when they shouldn't have to help anyone) and told me that after his veterinary appointment in the morning, I should call her and she would just work him in. I almost cried, he smelled so bad. I walked him in, and he was met with open arms (and two adorable cats in the window). They got him worked in in less than two hours and he was so fluffy and smelled like flowers. He was also so happy when I picked him up, not stressed at all. They did not have to work in a filthy new client husky last minute, but they did. I can't recommend enough. I will only be going here from now on.
