I've tried this place twice in three years; every time they mess up / hurt my little dog. The first…read moretime, we went for JUST A CLAW TRIM; and he came back, shaking and with his tail curled in & with a weirdly swollen bottom. Within five hours, that turned into an anal gland abscess that WAS NOT THERE before; he had never had this issue and never has suffered from it since. So I chalked this experience up to "maybe they thought he needed it done because he is little/or maybe it's a coincidence."...and didn't come back till today, about two years later. Fast forward to today; I came in, explaining that a) my dog is not mean or bite-y, but is TERRIBLE at getting his nails trimmed, FULL disclosure. I normally do it, but it's a goat rodeo. I remind them NOT to squeeze his butt, and say, if you can't do it, it's ok. I have to step out because if he can see me, he will cry. No worries if they CAN'T do it. My dog has been with me all day and night, as usual, and is in fine spirits. 15 minutes later, I walk in, he is tied to a railing and crying (ok, he's a Dramatic Little Dog) and I come to pay and collect him, expecting to pay, apologize for his shrieks and tip heavily. The woman who I entrusted my dog to was COMPLETELY HOSTILE and says "Your dog CANNOT BE TRIMMED" and I said, "that's ok, did you get any of them done?" And she said, "-AND! His DEW CLAW IS BROKEN." As though *I* had done something to him. Ummmm...FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO he had been FINE. Now a streak of blood is on his chest, his foot is bleeding! his nail is BROKEN and he is clearly very sad, trembling and hurt. Not only does this woman NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE, she goes on to say "well, I don't KNOW, but it's broken NOW." Seriously? Had she even trimmed ONE SINGLE NAIL without BREAKING it and then trying to blame ME, I would have paid full price. Deductive reasoning says; I won't be going back here. Beware! 2 stars as it is clean and I have seen that they do a nice job grooming the fluffy haired pups.

The employees are incredibly helpful and genuinely knowledgeable about all kinds of pets--you can ask real questions and get real answers.

Small-town vibes, honest people, and way better than supporting big corporate pet stores.

TLDR; this place profits off of living animals that are actively hurting each other due to too…read moresmall cages! See photos I never leave yelp reviews but I was completely disgusted about the welfare of the animals being kept in this store. They have WAY too many chickens being kept in tiny cages. I noticed some of the chickens pecking on one particular chicken's back / rear. Then I noticed blood on the chickens beaks and looked closer and the poor chicken is bleeding all over and is basically being eaten by the other chickens. I let the person behind the counter know and she looked horrified. I told her I think there are way too many chickens in the cage to which she agreed. She promptly removed the chicken and another employee told her to put the chicken in another cage that had a single chicken. I asked if they had anything to apply to the wounds and the guy looked confused and said yeah and disappeared to the back. I once again noticed the other chicken start pecking at the chickens bloody rear and told the guy once he came back that it should be by itself. He moved the chicken and sprayed something on its wound. I wish I could've taken the chicken but I don't have the means or space. To the owners - you absolutely shouldn't be selling chickens / other live animals. You clearly don't have the space / enclosures needed to house that many chickens and you clearly don't care about the animals you're selling. Your employees seem to have a lack of knowledge on animal care and should be trained to know what to do to care of injured animals. This is clearly an animals-for-profit type of pet store that anyone who loves animals should absolutely avoid. I usually avoid this place because the birds already sadden me, and I've heard of the poor care given to the live animals. I'll absolutely never return and I really hope the owners think hard about keeping these living animals. At the very least, keep a smaller amount. It doesn't seem like they're even selling much of these animals. It's just cruel. I'd like to know what happens with their chickens once they're too large for these tiny cages!

They're highly skilled at what they do and were thrilled to have a permanent groomer we trust. We previously disliked other places that prioritized the dogs and crates over the grooming process, either holding the dog in a crate before or after the groom. This approach made my pup nervous and scared, especially since we never crate him at home, and hearing other dogs distressed in crates made him even more uneasy. When we discovered this place, we appreciated that dogs are allowed to roam freely and play with each other before and after their grooming session. After his visit, my pup looked like a fancy little gentleman, all spruced up with a shiny coat and tidy appearance. He enthusiastically gives his groom four paws--the highest score!
