    I LOVE The Grateful Dog!! I have a border-doodle whose hair literally grows overnight and then mats and The Grateful Dog is always so great about getting him in for an appointment. I really appreciate that they never make me feel bad about his hair being in such a messy state. I feel like a terrible dog-mom for not being able to keep up with his hair! I followed Heather from her last grooming gig because I was so impressed with her grooming skills and Rex loves her! I'm amazed at the magic she can work on Rex's doodle-doo! She's also and is so sweet and friendly. She puts me and my dog at ease and works magic with his hair! John also works wonders with Rex's hair and making him feel welcome and calming his fears. He's a big baby and he's always nervous when he knows he's getting dropped off for a spa day. John is so good with him that Rex willingly goes with John and he's genuinely happy to see John! John did a stellar job today with Rex's matted mess! They do a fantastic job with doodle haircuts. (See before and after pictures.)

    I have been stopping in when I get a chance to get my dogs nails trimmed. I've never been turned away from a walk in and the place is coming together. The theme of the shop is inviting and playful. I definitely recommend stopping in and give your dogs a spa day!

    Final result!! Smells great and got this cute bandana

    Incredibly friendly staff, very communicative, they personalized her care because of her Husky/Aussie mix, super sweet to the dogs. When she was done she smelled great and looked amazing! Definitely coming back. Thank you!!

    Bad chopping job. He's an Australian Shepherd.

    I have taken my dog here three times, and each time it's a different price. I'm not sure why it's so inconsistent. The first two times my dog came out looking great but this last time I paid $90 with tip and when I got home I realized my dog still looks the same except for the bad chopping job on his chest. His behind still looks outgrown and "mop-like" and to top it off they messaged me the next day saying they forgot to do his nails and asked me to come back with him so they could finish, mind you it's a 20 minute drive. I'm usually not the type to write bad reviews but I'm looking into getting him groomed somewhere else because he still looks so outgrown after one week of his last appointment. After I left they told me that the girl who had done my dog was new and their "junior groomer" why am I being charge $70 for a groom then? Last time I paid a lot less and my dog looked amazing. I thought I was scheduling with the same groomer as last time but they put me with a new girl who was way more expensive, which is fine but not for the quality of the service. Just not happy.

    The Grateful Dog is awesome! I just got my poodle Archie back and he looks spectacular (and happy).

    Excellent in every way! Thank you for always doing your best and making sure our Martha is prim and proper!

    Razor burn under top leg

    First, they had our dogs for 5.5 hours and when we arrived to pick them up we were told that the Springer Spaniel was done and in the back while our Poodle was still standing on the table and only half finished in front of us. We stood there waiting another 20 min and I was at this point just focused on getting our unseen dog back and asked them to bring the dog out even if she was not finished (even though they told us she was finished when we first walked in). It took another 5 minutes for our dog to materialize from 'the back'. At this point the lady had obviously not finished our dog and was following the spaniel with scissors. As we exited the building and got into the car I noticed that the dogs still smelled like dirty dogs. THEY DID NOT WASH OUR DOGS! Also, 2 of the poodles toenails were clipped too short and he is bleeding and the Springer has razor burns on her belly. Hindsight is 20/20 and if I had known before I got into the car that the dogs had not been bathed and had razor burns and were bleeding I would not have paid them for this lack of grooming. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE.!!

    I have always had a great experience here, and the employees have typically been friendly and…read moreknowledgeable. However, yesterday's visit was very uncomfortable. My partner and I came in looking for Omega Oil. The employee, who was already at the cashier, stood up and stared at us as soon as we walked in. Once he told us where to look he hovered over counter and stared. At first, I didn't think much of it. We then asked where the dental cat treats were, and he walked us to the aisle--but instead of asking if we needed further help, he just stood there watching us. At this point my partner and I were having our own conversation about the treats, right in front of him. After we started looking through the treats, he moved to the next aisle over and continued monitoring us. Each time I moved, he seemed to move as well to keep us in sight. At one point, I turned around and saw him standing there petting some peacock feather or other times staring at products.The entire interaction made us feel singled out and extremely uncomfortable. I understand businesses need to be aware of theft, but there should be better guidelines on how to do that without making paying customers feel targeted. Though my cat loves the rabbit feet from this store, unfortunately I won't be returning after this experience.

The vet said extremely likely came from the grooming. What was supposed to be a $95 bath and groom has now cost me $237. -------------- I had requested the 15 step grooming package listed $95 for my size dog on their website (which did not include haircut). When the groomer arrived, she asked what kind of haircut I wanted for my dog. I told her that I ordered the 15 step grooming package and just wanted to paws, sanitary cut, and trimmed around the eyes (what was included in the package). Flash forward, I get a text saying my dog is done and it's $130. I walked out to the van and asked why there was an extra charge and she told me it was booked as a groom and a haircut. I told her that that's not what I sent them and the price is listed as $95 on their website for what I requested. She told me she didn't know what was on their website. She also told me, "we nickel and dime for everything." Probably not something you should say to a customer who's complaining that you're charging them above the listed price of what was requested. The groom itself was decent minus the bowl cut my dog now seems to have. Wouldn't book with them again.
