lovely, kind staff! They are so helpful with my shy little Terrier!

Melanie at Plush Puppy is the best! She bathed all 3 of my dogs and cleaned their ears and clipped their nails. Melanie took care of them like she would her own babies. She is family to me.

His previous haircut by a groomer in Germany (who spoke zero English!) Wasn't the best haircut, but at least he still looked like a Yorkie

I have a mini Yorkshire terrier named Zeus. Nancy clipped Zeus's nails last week and begged us to let her groom him. Since my husband and I were busy, my mom took him to be groomed. She showed her the images of Yorkies we wanted Zeus to look like with specific grooming directions, dropped Zeus off for his appointment putting her full trust in Nancy (especially because of a newspaper article on display in the shop that showed Nancy with a Yorkie). Also, our family members have taken their dogs to be groomed and praised her. Well... the images shown to Nancy of other Yorkies had cute baby doll faces, the hair trimmed short just around the eyes and ears, and along the back. The leg hair kept longer to make the legs appear stocky and the facial beard kept to give the face a round appearance and a stocky neck. Our directions included leaving his tail hair long, leg hair long, and cut short only his back and ears. When we picked up Zeus, his hair is cut so short that his legs and neck appear long, his face so thin that he doesn't even look like a Yorkie! He looks like a Schnauzer! With a poodle haircut! Nancy disregarded our wishes and cut Zeus how SHE wanted to. She ignored direction completely! Not only is it not what we wanted, but it's extremely uneven and unfixable. THE WORST PART: He doesn't look like himself, he doesn't act like himself, and it will take at least 6 weeks for his hair to grow back!! I could live with a bad haircut, but my puppy is now extremely self-conscious and doesn't want to cuddle or be the sweet boy he was. I pray my Zeus will gain his confidence back when his hair grows back... it's unbearable seeing him this way. If all you're looking for is a bath, brush, and nail trim this place is fine. But if you want a full groom, hair cut, and the works DONT GO HERE!! Here are the before and after images:

Have been going to Plush Puppy for some time. On and off over the years. They are always professional, kind and caring to me and my dog. Pebbles looks amazing every time. This time her little bow had a rose in it. Love it! One time was a feather is her hair. That was too cute too! Best grooming place ever!

Absolutely the best! Not only did I get an appointment same day, but the service and cost were perfect! This is Lily's new bathhouse . They took such great care of her! Thank you!

I have taken my sweet dog, Maverick, only twice so far to Plush Puppy. Melanie, the girl who grooms Maverick, does a fantastic job bathing him and clipping his nails. Both Melanie and her mom are so sweet and I can see that they both truly care about the animals that they provide their services to. They treat your pets like they're their own and do their best to make Maverick feel more comfortable, as he does get a lot of anxiety. I can't wait to bring Maverick back next month for his grooming appointment!

This is how horrible your dog's coat will look after Nancy "the butcher" gets her back to you after 4 hours. There is not a single even coat

DO NOT take your dog to this place. I'm not a professional groomer myself, but I do groom my own dog most of the time and I do a far better job than Nancy "The butcher" did with Sasha. When I saw the dog, the look of horror on my face prompted Nancy to tell me that the dog was "extremely matted" and this is the best that she could do. Two days before turning the dog in, I specifically took most of the mats out to make sure she has an easier time at the groomer. For comparison, I'm going to show you some pictures of what "the butcher" aka Nancy did.. vs what a real dog salon does. When I was completely dissatisfied with the reprehensible job that Nancy did, she didn't even offer a discount on her glue factory quality work. She told me that she has been doing this for 30 years. Sorry "the butcher", Nancy, just because you've been horrible at your job for 30 years, doesn't make you better at it. If you even remotely care about what your pets look like, do not take your dog to Flush Puppy. That's right.. the qualify of the grooming job is so crappy, that the place should be renamed to Flush Puppy.

My adorable doggies after their haircuts!

See all

This is a little over due. While I was in the process of selling my TO town home, I wanted to find…read morea doggy daycare/daycamp for Jax (my 1 year old husky/pomeranian mix.) I saw the excellent reviews on Yelp for this place so I decided to try it. Soooo happy I did. Before Lisa accepts your canine, she does an interview to see if your dog will get along with other dogs. Excellent idea! She gets detailed information regarding vaccinations/neuter/spay. Excellent idea! Lisa has two daycare locations close to each other (one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs.) While Jax is only 28 pounds, he acts like he is a 75 pound big dog. Lisa felt it was best Jax joined the large dog club which was great! First day at daycare, I dropped off Jax and returned to my car tearing up a little bit. WHAT?! I guess dogs are your kids! Anywhooooo.......Jax loved it! He could not get enough of this place. Bob is in charge of the large dog club and he is absolutely awesome! Bob plays with them, takes short video clips and texts the videos to the parents. I would drop off Jax every morning and Bob could not open the door fast enough. Even when it rains, they have fixed up the garage just for the dogs. Outside, there is a pool, slide leading up to an enclosed trampoline, and a running area. It is truly a dog's paradise! Although we recently moved, we will ALWAYS remember Newbury Bark with Bob and Lisa! and of course Terri Jo! :) Thank you kindly for taking excellent care of Jax. I know Jax misses everyone! So if you are looking for an excellent doggie daycare/daycamp, look no further, try Newbury Bark. Fair and reasonable prices, very accommodating. I still watch the videos! :)

Lisa is amazing in every way! She will love your dog like it's her own! Best pet sitter and you…read morewill get lots of pics and updates about your fur baby while you are gone. We had a nightmare of an experience with another boarding facility and sadly our dog didn't survive, so understandably we have been hesitant to every trust anyone again with our other pets but Lisa would never neglect a doggy or leave them outside all night. She's truly an angel and we recommend her to everyone. You can't go wrong with Newbury Bark, just be sure to book early because they fill up quickly.
