After grooming shows his beautiful face

Support this local business! I went to Sonny's with sweet 10month old Clarence. He desperately needed a cut his look was out of control as you can see in the pictures. The groomer was so careful and kind with Clarence... Clarence was excited and happy after the groom. Clarence also had a bit of an accident in the grooming room, and everybody was very kind about It The cost is beyond reasonable... The folks are friendly... The location is convenient I don't have one negative thing to say about these folks just a great local business that should be supported

Baron was very happy with his visit!

This was our first time getting our dog groomed and couldn't be happier! His grooming team was ready and waiting for him when we arrived. Everyone seemed very friendly and welcoming. When I picked him up he looked amazing and they had even done a few extra things to make sure that he looked great! The prices are reasonable and Baron even got a chance to hang out with other dogs and play for a bit. I couldn't be happier with our grooming and socialization experience at Sonny's.

Lillo's Bottom

I am at a loss for words. Not only am I hurt and saddened to see my dog traumatized, but I am so infuriated with everyone who works here at Sonny's. I'm saying now, if you truly love your pet please don't take them here! On July 1 I took my beautiful Lillo, a 5-month golden-doodle, to get groomed here. I was visiting my grandparents and this place was nearby and seemed trustworthy, but I was wrong. I asked for Lillo to get full grooming. I wanted to her have a teddy bear cut with a lower cut on her legs. The girl asked if I wanted her fluffy and I responded with yes. I gave her two reference pictures one a picture of Lillo with her haircut I liked and the other one of a picture online. Lillo was not matted and I've never had a problem with matting with her and other groomers have said she behaved well with them. Then I left her there. When they called saying she was finished, they mentioned her haircut was not the best since Lillo misbehaved. I picked her up right away and I paid first because the girl was waiting for me to pay first then she would get Lillo. So I paid and then I received Lillo. I received Lillo and didn't even recognize her. My fluffy beautiful girl wasn't fluffy anymore. Lillo was shaved. I was at a loss for words and immediately left. When my father saw Lillo he said no that it isn't right to pay for something like this that we didn't ask for nor needed since she wasn't matted. Lillo's fur was cut unevenly and had bald spots. They had cut her eyelashes as well. My father called to get a refund and speak to the owner and the staff was very rude. They hung up on him. A few minutes pass by and the owner called and allowed us to have a refund. The owner also mentioned taking her back to the groomers to let someone else groom her, but of course, we denied the offer. We decided we wouldn't write a review. I thought this was the end of it, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I started noticing Lillo was not being herself she was so quiet and mean. She was also licking herself more often than usual. She was also biting on herself. Not only that, but I noticed some razor burns. At the time only a few were visible and small. As a few hours pass by I was going to bed with Lillo when I had seen her burns. I was brought to tears. My poor baby had razor burns and cuts all over her body and they had become more visible. She had dry blood on her behind. Her stool was also not solid. This is no longer about a haircut, but the injuries that Lillo has. Who knows what they had done to Lillo! Lillo has been extremely different ever since leaving Sonny's Place. I hope no pet owner has to deal with this, but if you see this review, please think twice before you take your pet here! The photos below are of Lillo before and after and of her burns and cuts. her before photo was just 2 days prior to her grooming.

I want to start off by saying that I hardly ever leave negative reviews, but I felt like my experience on 03/05/22 must be told to future customers. I took my one-year-old toy poodle in to get groomed ( bath, nails trimmed, etc.). I was explaining to the receptionist (who at the time I thought would be doing the grooming) that I would like to cut my dog's fur down low but not too low that you can see his skin ( since I know how my fur is) she recommend using a blade four. I said okay, but if it's too low that you can see the skin, then please don't use that level. I also stated that my dog had a hard time staying still. Ms.Martha (at the time of the appointment, I didn't know who she was) asked if I wanted his face cleaned up and, in my eyes, cleaned up means trimmed. Since I have taken him to other groomers and they used the same term, I thought, yes, please clean up his face. Fast forward, when it comes time to pick my dog up, he looks nothing like himself. The young lady (receptionist) asked if I liked his haircut, and I said NO. I was highly upset about how my dog looked. I was too upset to talk at the moment, so I waited until today to call and tell them about my experience. Mrs. Martha was very rude and stated that " if $55 means that much to you, then you can come and get your money back and never come back to her place of business again". In my mind, I am saying that I never wanted to come back anyway based on the experience I had. It saddens me to leave a negative review, but I felt like I needed to. Not because of the experience I had but from the choice of words she the owner chose to use towards me. Below I will post some before and after of my dog. Post response to Mrs. Martha. Me saying that I was going to post a negative review was not a threat. I was letting you know before I posted the review. Yelp is a open platform for people to leave reviews whether positive or negative. So I don't know where a threat comes into play. Mrs. Martha are you implying that I don't take for of my dog? Because I recently took him to the vet ( and if you were present at the time of the appointment I told the receptionist that he recently had a vet visit and has allergies) and is currently being treated for it. And could we please leave our personnel opinions out to the post about my caretaking skills for my dog that's unprofessional. When I went to the establishment today you said it had taken you about 2 hours where exactly did the extra hour come from? Yes Mrs. Martha did refund my money but that's after a detailed conversation on the phone. What she didn't add is that she said she wasn't going to give me my money back and there was nothing further she could do. But Mrs. Martha I wish you the best. Thank you.

See all

Leila Knows Best

Highly recommended! Moe and Elodie took fantastic care of our pup while we were out of town. This…read morewas our first boarding experience, so we were understandably a bit nervous, but Moe and Elodie quickly put us at ease. They were professional and provided timely responses to all of our questions. While we were out of town, they regularly sent us photos and updates so we knew Sami was well taken care of. And Leila was such a gracious host to share her home for a long weekend. Can't recommended them enough. So glad we found them. We'll definitely be using Leila Knows Best the next time we travel.

I wish there were more stars to give on this review for Leila Knows Best!…read more My Sansa is a 10 month old Soft Coated Wheaten terrier. The breed is known to be highly intelligent. Her trainer tells me that she is very stubborn with extremely high energy. She is also rebellious and constantly pushing boundaries to see what she can get away with. And I adore her. Sansa was badly injured by her first groomer at age 14 weeks, and had to have emergency surgery, plus 6 weeks of heavy sedation so she could recover. As a result she is now anxious all the time. She is jumpy and scared and ready to bite the hand that wants to leash her-mine! I had left her with a dog sitter for a weekend in September and then reserved the same sitter for the first week of November. I think that the sitter was too polite to tell me that she didn't want to deal with my Cujo-style dog. She called about 12 hours before she was supposed to show up and backed out. I am glad she did because that lead me to Elodie and Moe-"Leila Knows Best", who are THE PERFECT dog sitters. They treated Sansa like she was their own. I know how disruptive she can be, yet they never complained. She was genuinely happy there. I had to extend my trip by two nights and they accommodated her without fussing, hemming or hawing. I received several updates for the 8 days that I was away. They took her to the waterfront to play, for several walks a day and even pulled out a crate for her to sleep in because that's what she is trained to do. I didn't have to lug her crate over. Their place is spotless. They have a beautiful pooch called Leila who seems calm and well trained. Sansa clearly enjoyed her stay with aunty Elodie and Uncle Moe! To Elodie and Moe-I cannot thank you enough! I hope you'll agree to take her again. (Not soon because as Moe said-she is a dog and a half). Lol She is in puppy kindergarten now and should be much easier next time!! If you want someone you can trust with your canine baby, look no further. .

I have used Alexandria Pet Care a few times now, since the people who used to watch my cats moved…read moreout of the area. The team that handles my visits have been wonderful. It is apparent they love pets and ensuring their proper care. The reports I receive after each visit put my mind at ease, particularly since one of my kitties is wary of people she doesn't (and, at times, does) know. I also enjoy the photos. The app that APC uses is a user-friendly interface that allows you to handle virtually all business with APC, and the team sends reminders to confirm the scheduled visits a couple or more days prior. As others have commented, make no mistake about it: the services cost and sometimes, the sticker shock gets me, particularly considering the circumstances for the visit. There is a weekend charge, per day, per pet, and a holiday fee, per day, per pet whenever there is a holiday or it's APC's dedicated holiday season. While I expect to pay to have someone briefly interrupt their own holiday plans to handle the things with my kitties that I cannot, boy oh boy does it add up and quickly. A loyal customer discount or customer appreciation savings here and there would definitely be welcomed! That said, I know I can leave my pets in good, competent hands and that my home is secured, as well. They will tend to plants and pick up the mail, if you ask, and they do leave things orderly. I love the notes, the pictures, and the care they show my pets. I know they have been kind to my pets and that's the most important thing to me. I definitely recommend and will use again.

I have been using Alexandria Pet Care for years to care for my fur babies when I'm out of town…read more Their care team is very responsive, and they always provide details/pics of my pets to put my mind at ease. Their client app is user friendly and allows me to change pet care information effortlessly. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you, APC for all that you do!
