    Zoe's Pawfection - So clean after Zoe's, they earned Sofa privileges!

    Zoe's Pawfection

    (39 reviews)

    Our dog Riley is an older dog and is pretty easy going but definitely still gets stinky and matted…read morehair. Zoe's Pawfection was a great find! Henry, the owner, is incredibly accommodating and great at communicating. We have a few specific requirements that other groomers have ignored in the past, but they nail it every time. And you can tell they really care about the dogs--not just by with the attention to detail but the consideration for special circumstances like old and deaf dogs lol. We've used other mobile and big box store groomers in the past and it's all about turnaround, and my dog comes back wet and stressed, the special instructions ignored. That's never the case at Zoe's Pawfection. Other reviews completely contradict my experience and in all honesty seem suspicious.

    I initially started bringing my dog here because of the good reviews I saw online. However I…read morestopped because the last time she visited they locked her in a cage for over two hours and claimed she was the next dog to get groomed. I understand that groomers can be busy, but it would have been nice to been told that from the start that way I could have scheduled a different appointment. It was extremely disappointing to hear that even with a scheduled appointment (which I made a week in advance) that she would be locked up for over a couple minutes. My dog does not like being locked up, something that is painfully obvious if you even lock her up for a couple minutes. It feels like she was neglected the entire time she was there. Honestly if I had not called it I'm pretty sure she would have been locked up for longer. It was pretty disappointing to say the least.

    Hicks Farms Boarding and Training - Zelda

    Hicks Farms Boarding and Training

    I found this wonderful place for my dogs when we are taking longer trips! I love the fact that…read morethey're further out from the city and have property for the dogs to be able to wonder like they used to when we lived in the suburbs. My dogs are accustomed to being around, just our family and don't always be friend new people readily. They immediately took to the owner, Brian. Our dogs are on a diet where they have a mixture of dry and wet food that require refrigeration or freezing. That was no problem at all for the owner to accommodate. The fellas looked well cared for when my son picked them up! My son forgot to check for the dogs blankets when he picked them up and Brian kindly drove them down to the city where we live so that the dogs would have them. I will definitely use Hicks Farm again and I highly recommend them!

    Zelda, our German shepherd/husky mix, boarded with Brian for nearly two weeks while we were on…read morevacation. Before she went, I'd worked with her on sit, down, take it, leave it, and some spins with decent success. Brian took what she had and built on it, adding heel, come when called, turn, and stay. He returned a noticeably different dog. When we hit some bumps shortly after, he came back out and spent a solid hour with me going over what was actually happening...not just commands and corrections, but why she was behaving the way she was and what she needed from me to feel secure. (Spoiler: she needed me to be more confident and consistent.) He has a way of cutting straight to what matters without overcomplicating it, and more than once he said exactly the right thing at exactly the right moment. What struck me most across both experiences was how much genuine wisdom he brings to his work. He's clearly someone who has learned his craft through deep experience and observation, and it shows in every interaction with the dog and with the owner. On top of all of that, his pricing was incredibly reasonable; boarding and training combined for what many trainers charge for training alone. We felt genuinely taken care of. Kind, patient, perceptive, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend.

    Mayde Creek Animal Health Center - My hedgehog, Delilah.

    Mayde Creek Animal Health Center

    This is my first time ever owning my own pet and I have a hedgehog which I know it can be hard to…read morefind a vet close by that does exotics so I got really lucky with Dr.Palmer who had just started working there recently. Mayde Creek's building is so fancy that I was convinced I was in the wrong place til I saw the receptionist. Tall ceilings, marble tile floors, columns outside, a mini courtyard, the whole shebang. Dr. Melody Palmer was very pleasant to chat with and said that I impressed her with my hedgehog husbandry knowledge (I then heard her go to the back and tell the vet techs back there that I knew my stuff, THEN go to the front and say the same thing- MAJOR EGO BOOST. This appointment was months ago at this point and I'm STILL preening from the compliment.) She made sure I knew everything I needed to know and was more than willing to give in depth explanations if needed. Everybody there was really friendly and since my Delilah was very curious and well behaved the appointment went by very very quickly. I did not wait long at all to begin even though I was 20 minutes early. I'm very happy with my decision to use Mayde Creek and I'm glad I didn't have to go all the way up to Spring for the other exotic vet I was looking at. (Pet pic tax attached)

    While we will miss our former vet, the new team is really, really good. They are kind and…read moreconsiderate. However, and this matters to me, they are willing to listen to the owner of the animals and agree to reasonable requests. Sadly one of our beloved pets had reached the point where their pain was incurable. They allowed me to process her passing in a way which is right for me - which does not include music and low lighting and tears. I appreciate it their kindness in those moments more than I could say. They made her final moments as, as possible, and allow me to grieve on my own. plus Jennifer is awesome and amazing and wonderful!

    Houston's Fuzzy Tails Grooming Salon - After!

I reached out for more information bc their website does not include pricing for services or add-ons. Was really interested in trying their grooming services but the customer service experience ultimately led me to look elsewhere.

    I'm very happy with my visit here. For starters, I'm out visiting family in Texas for a month. I…read morebrought my dog with me and he needed a groom. I had no idea where to go since I'm not from here but I found Fuzzy Tails on Yelp. I reached out via Yelp and Andrea quickly gave a response telling me to text them at their number. I did and I was able to book an appointment for a week later via text. They did ask me to provide vaccination proof as well as a $35 deposit, all of which weren't unexpected. Upon arrival, everyone was friendly. They took my pup in without a hassle. They were very quick, about 90 minutes. I've actually never been to a groomer that got my pup done in under 2 hours so I was a bit concerned that it may not be well detailed. However once I picked him up, I was super happy with everything. He looked super cute and Fuzzy Tails gave exactly what I asked for! Overall, I 110% recommended this place for dog grooming. Again since I'm out of town, I likely won't be coming back anytime soon. But if I did live in Houston, I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else!!!
