I have a 12 year old Maine Coon cat, she has squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth that has spread…read moreto her two front paws. She is a happy cat that in spite of her disease is in suprisingly good health. She dose however require more frequent grooming as the cancer will cause her fur to become sticky and matted as a result of her grooming herself, this also causes her to have a foul Oder. My regular Groomer would not be available for three weeks, after calling several groomers in the area I found The Shaggy Dog pet groomers of Rocky Point. Brenda seemed very compassionate and caring as I explained our cats health issues and grooming need. I explained that I once had to have her completely shaved because she became so matted so fast and with more frequent grooming and shaving just her belly we have been able to avoid having her shaved again. She is after all a long haired cat! Brenda assured me all would be fine and I could bring her in this coming Saturday At 2PM. On Saturday my Husband dropped off our cat and again explained to Brenda her health issues and odor due to her cancer. He even explained that should she need to shave the matting to shave only belly. again Brenda assured him that it will all be ok. Two hours later Brenda Called she was all ready to be picked up. upon arrival our cat was in her carrier and ready to go. Brenda began to explain that she did in fact have to shave the matted fur, as my husband looked closer he was shocked to see a completely shaved cat. when asked why she shaved our cat her response was well you had her shaved before, that she was matted. She was only matted on her underbelly and leg area. She also said "What is that Smell!" After we had already explained that it is from the cancer. She took it upon herself to shave our cat without informing us first that she was going to do that. Any reputable groomer would notify the animals owner if they plan on making a drastic change to their look. Brenda did not do this. Both my husband and I gave her very clear instructions what to do and NOT to shave her body. She did not listen. Unfortanetly my cat will probably pass away from cancer before she ever gets her fur to grow back completely. I am so angry that this has happened. I will never use this groomer again nor will I ever recommend her.

I've previously had to bring Rocky always to his vet because I was not able to find any groomer that could handle Rocky. It's also such a big process for me as I have to sedate him starting the day before. I met Michele of Emerald City Dog Spa and she was more than willing to take on Rocky as a new client. I was a bit skeptical at first as it's always been such a chore with multiple people having to wrangle Rocky JUST to have his nails clipped. Michele was super welcoming and friendly and successfully clipped all of Rocky's nails. I am forever grateful to have found her and would recommend for anyone who needs this service to go to Emerald City Dog Spa! Picture is of Rocky post pedicure (still under sedation) Thanks Michele!

I booked Emerald City Dog Spa to board my 6-month-old puppy for the first time. Beforehand, I…read moremessaged the owner to coordinate a meet-and-greet at her facility, so she was fully aware of his age and personality. My puppy has never been boarded before, but he has gone to doggy daycare and done fine with other dogs--he just takes a little while to settle into new environments. My boyfriend mentioned this to her, and she said she would see how he did and let us know if there were any issues. About an hour later, she called to say he was barking and clawing at the door and she was worried he might break through the plywood doors due to scratching. She told us he needed to be picked up. Her boarding profile claims the facility is "the perfect setting for especially nervous or aggressive dogs," that she has boarded first-timers, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs rejected from other facilities, and that she's even been called "the dog whisperer" multiple times. With all this advertised experience, I expected more ability to handle normal adjustment behavior from a young dog. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot recommend Emerald City Dog Spa.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a dog trainer, and I managed a training and daycare…read morefacility for six years. I asked every question under the sun at my dog's evaluation, and every answer was the one I was looking for. Additionally, my dog is not an 'easy' dog, he can be standoffish with strangers, but every staff member knew how to approach him without my having to comment, and he settled in really well. I appreciate especially their honesty when I asked if Arlo played with any other dogs - instead of lying to me and saying "of course!" without thinking, they explained to me that he needs to get used to a new environment and that "the play will come." That answer was stellar, and I feel comfortable knowing that staff will give me uncomfortable truths when they are needed rather than sugar coating their answers for a sale. I know my dog well, and their description of his behavior today was on point, I know for a fact that staff was watching him carefully and that makes me happy. I am glad to have a place to bring him now that I no longer work in the industry, it's a huge weight off of my shoulders. As to the reviews stating that the place smells - I have twice walked in during what seemed like rush hour and smelled nothing other than typical 'dog' smell, so I'm not sure what all that is about.

Amazing staff and great assortment of products. Great advice as well. Highly recommend.read more

Great store! More than always helpful!…read more The store is fantastic. Usually has most things in stock even hard to find items that you can't find in chain stores like Petco etc. , and one thing they have that doesn't exist in a chain store ---EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Anything you need they're extremely helpful and happy to find or get. I had my dog training classes here, and that's how I started coming to this location; but I have to tell you the customer service from the store is unrivaled. If there's something you need, just call and check on it. They're happy to check in stock, They also have a website you can order through that too, 99.9% of the time what you're looking for is a stocked item,and on the rare occasion that it is not or you have an item as I did a special cat food recommended by the vet they did not have on the shelf they called another location, had it there for me the next day! I also have a bad back and I cannot carry large bags of dog food for my dog....put my back out once they had the food delivered to my house free of charge which is a service they offer as well; if I go to the store, they are happy to bring it to my car for me if needed. In short, go here, I highly recommend it.
