Decided to try out this place for our Golden Retriever since we saw the high ratings. Over the phone they were very nice when booking the appointment. I told them we wanted wash and dry, furminating, hair cut/trim, and nail trim and they told us we could discuss it more when we got there. My husband and I went to drop him off and they were incredibly busy. They seemed in a rush, but again everyone was very nice. At first the front desk lady said "wash and nail trim" when we checked in. But we corrected her saying that he should also be getting a hair cut/trim and she said "absolutely". And on the check-in worksheet they had us fill out all the services we needed as well. They told us they were very busy so it would take several hours. But since he is a big dog, we didn't think anything of it as it made sense it would take a bit longer for him. We dropped him off at 10am. At 3:45pm... still no call. I called to double check I didn't miss a call and they said they were just finishing him up and they would call within the next hour when he was finished. They called at about 4:15pm. We picked him up and I got him into the car when we noticed he looked washed and dried, but he didn't look as though he received ANY type of hair trim. We went back in to ask, and they confirmed our concern that he did not get a haircut because we were listed as a wash and nail trim and there must have been "some loss of communication", even though on our form we specifically listed everything that needed to be done and had confirmed it with the front desk before we left. So.... he was at the place for 6+ HOURS and only received a wash, dry, and nail trim. They apologized and we requested him to be finished for what we brought him there for. They did agree, but did not seem to know what a golden retriever haircut entailed? We saw mostly small and poodle type dogs there, so maybe they don't know how to trim large Golden/German Shepherd/Husky-type long hair? Plus, he was anxious and whimpering the entire time, which he normally doesn't do, likely because he had just been there for so long and was antsy. By the end, his leg and tail fringe looked choppy and he still had wispies everywhere. They did ask us if it looked ok to us and if we wanted any more taken off, but our pup was just so anxious by that point we just wanted to get out of there. What saves them from getting a 1 star is they were very polite the entire time and offered to make it right. But they admitted they greatly overbooked the day, and we were so furious for the amount of inorganization and the fact he was there for 6+ hours and they only performed just a basic wash/dry/nail trim. The longest we've ever had him somewhere was 2.5 hours for the full wash/dry/cut/nail trim. That's just so unbelievably unacceptable. To top it all off, the whole next day our dog had bowel issues and persistent diarrhea. So not sure how many treats and what type they fed him in the time he was there? Overall, if you have a small dog, maybe you're experience will be different. But this is just our experience. Won't be going back. read more
