**DEEPLY UPSETTING GROOMING EXPERIENCE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A KEESHOND…read more I brought my two Keeshonds to Beau Chien expecting professional, breed appropriate grooming (especially when I was told by Alex he had experience grooming Keeshonds). Unfortunately, this turned into the worst grooming experience me and my two dogs ever had! Keeshonds are a double-coated dog breed and proper grooming requires preserving the coat (especially their signature mane). My female's mane was completely chopped off, drastically changing her appearance and coat structure. She barely resembled a Keeshond and looked more like a Polar Bear. My male's grooming was very concerning to me! About a week and a half (after their grooming appointment at Beau Chien) I took them to get their hair brushed from a groomer who had pointed out to me how thin my males mane was and showed me multiple bald patches on his neck where his hair had clearly been pulled out rather than gently brushed. or properly de-matted. Seeing those areas where his hair was gone had extremely upset me. Prior to their grooming at Beau Chien I had taken them to their regular groomers in Bethel. However, my groomer was fully booked and would not be able to groom them for another month. She came out to see the both of my dogs as she always did and checked their coats (a regular thing she does). I left there and went home. A week later I had taken them to Beau Chien. After this experience at Beau Chien I went back to my regular groomer to show her the chop job they each had. My groomer was in shock (as I had been when I saw my female) when she saw how the female's mane was completely chopped off as well as all her fur too. It looked like she was groomed by EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS! My groomer told me that both my Keeshonds were no where near severely matted and that there was absolutely no need to drastically chop off their hair female's mane and a huge majority of her fur and same with my male. She said that an experienced and patient groomer (familiar with the breed) would have safely brushed through her mane and not have chopped it all off which I agree with her a 100%! When I contacted the owner to discuss what had happened to my two dogs, I was told "It was the Humane thing to do" We are not there to euthanize my dog, we were there for them to get groomed!! I was in shock the owner said that to me! Humane grooming should never result in unnecessary coat removal or bald patches on my dog's throat. This experience left me feeling that there was a lack of breed specific knowledge, poor handling of double-coated dogs. NO WILLINGNESS to ACKNOWLEDGE CLIENT CONCERNS AFTERWARDS. I am sick over this chop job they called grooming

I've been bringing my dog, Wally, to Happy Paws from the beginning, so I've had plenty of…read moreopportunity to see the patience and care Lucy and her team bring to their work. Wally has anxiety around grooming and other dogs, so finding the right groomer was not easy. Lucy took the time to understand what makes him comfortable and has always adjusted her approach to meet his needs. She has been incredibly patient with him, and over time she has earned my complete trust. What stands out most is that Lucy does not treat every dog the same. She gets to know their personality, temperament, and comfort level and works with them accordingly. She is also always learning and looking for new ways to make the experience better, especially for dogs like Wally who need a little extra care. The small things also say a lot. When one of Wally's grooming appointments fell on his birthday, Lucy made it special for him with extra treats. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect example of the genuine affection she has for the dogs she cares for. Lucy and her team are always friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. More importantly, it is clear that they truly care about the dogs entrusted to them. I would recommend Happy Paws without hesitation, especially to anyone with an anxious dog or one who needs a more patient and individualized approach.
