I am truly disappointed with my experience at top dog. I live down the street and twice I had stopped in to inquire about his services. Both times I asked about trimming nails and a simple trim on a 3 pound Yorki.e. I even showed him a photo of his last trim- where I currently take him. I wanted so bad to have a new groomer so convenient and close and after he told me that he could do it for the similar price of $55 I made the appointment. I had to reschedule because I got the flu and I did so in a timely matter and he was very cordial. When we rescheduled I misplaced the card -and as of a week and a half ago I messaged Marc the business owner asking the date and time of the new appointment and until this morning I did not get a reply. His reply was He didn't respond because it was a Monday and his day off .... then why didn't you respond for the next eight days is my question but I did not ask it. See text However all of our other messages to place on a Monday as an iPhone does not lie. I brought my dog in there this morning and he all of a sudden had no recollection of any of our conversation, and started asking me in a very insulting and snotty way what type of trim I wanted (completely forgetting we discuss this two times ago when I showed him the photo ), how I wanted his ears to look......when I said whatever you think is best, and it's a simple little trim... he seemed very irritated. I simply stated for the last six years I drop my dog off it's a simple trim and I'm not that picky and my dog is than 3 pounds !I'd like him trimmed and his nails cut. At that point in time he have to and puffed and was making this process extremely difficult. The The worst part of the story is after wasting 35 minutes of my time, as my dog was in my arms trembling in this new place ...Marc abruptly goes right for his face with his big hands (as to grab him from me) and of course my little dog tries to take and nip at him! Why would you stick your hands abruptly come at a dogs face who is guarding his owner and then look at me and say I'm going to pass your dog just took a aggressive bite at me. I am absolutely apalled if you did not want to work on my dog- just say so but to actually stick your hands in any dogs face quickly and abruptly like you're going to grab him right out of my arms without even any warning or letting him sniff you or try to warm them up is obsolete obnoxious. I left there feeling extremely angry that someone can treat a customer this way and is allowed to be in business. I'm disappointed because he so conveniently close and I would have liked to have a new monthly groomer. Please see photos for our text conversation. He may be really good at what he does but I would not want to leave my dog there alone as he does not appear in anyway to care for the dogs.

Happy puppy post groom, this is what a Maltese looks like!

Great Service for your special pup/s, right at your door! So…read moreorganized and convenient, with attention to detail. You no longer need to take your pup somewhere, then come back later, and possibly still wait. You get to choose what your pup needs, and use your own shampoo and conditioner if you prefer. Their team is both professional and accommodating. You will know unconditionally that your pup will be trimmed, bathed and get a perfect pedicure! Just like we gals like too Both you and your pup[s] will be blessed!

I've been a customer of Art Pet grooming for about eight months now, and I feel it's time to share…read moremy experience. Unfortunately, I'm quite disappointed with the quality of grooming provided, especially considering the $150 price tag for a standard groom. I've tried two different groomers, and both have had limited English skills, which has led to communication issues. One groomer completed the grooming in just about 20 minutes, resulting in an uneven haircut that was far from satisfactory. It seems like they always leave something undone--whether it's trimming nails or expressing anal glands, both of which should be standard services included in the price. It's concerning that the appointments feel rushed, raising the question: how can a thorough grooming be done in such a short amount of time? I've attached a picture from my dog's most recent grooming appointment, highlighting the unevenness of her coat. I had high hopes for this service, but I believe there's a significant need for improvement in both the quality of grooming and attention to detail. Sadly, I can't recommend art Pet Grooming for the Central Valley at this time. Edited in response to the owners commentary below: we've had our dog groomed several times. The above review is the final straw and a summary of the experience with multiple groomers through Art Pet. Not specific for Bea. She was a nice person. The haircut was done by her. The previous groomers and Bea have asked my husband to come to the van told hold Teddy during aspects of the grooming when requested. The image is of careless grooming. Not as a result of safety concerns. In fact, yesterday, my husband held Teddy while she trimmed his nails. Thank you for offering a refund in your emailed response . We decline the refund. We would like your employees to do better and groom with a conscience.
