this is an ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW OF THE SHED DOG GROOMING IN LAFAYETTE OREGON…read more I have 2 small dogs. dog one is a terrier and i requested just a plain hair cut for her...not any "style" , just cut it all a true inch long all over he4r body. Her coat wound up just chopped - done with scissors! they did not use a clipper - they may not have one or know how to use one. even her ears - one ear was trimmed pointing down at the front of the ear flap. the other ear was pointed the opposite way. dog 2 was only to get a shampoo, nails trimmed and a "sanitary swipe" up the rear end. she is part Pomeranian and had beautiful "feathers" on her tail and back legs especially - the length of all of her rear end feathers were cut about half way off. not all of her nails got cut - the more difficult nails were just left - you could feel the difference between the cut and uncut nails. they had no answer for any of it. i waited a few weeks before contacting them. i didn't want to be angry on the phone.( i did get a bit heated but no name calling. i told them i would contact the chamber of commerce and their small town business association) their response was very aloof and negative . i wanted some money back. nope and they charge top dollar. i took pics but its hard to see specific dings - dog 1 came out looking like she had been groomed months before. avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid - many better options than the Shed in Lafayette Oregon. Lafayette is a lovely small town by the way,

We have had all 4 of our dogs there for boarding up to 10 days plus day care over the past 5 years. They come back happy and tuckered out. The staff is so caring and makes you feel your pup is special. They have lots of activities and do a good job getting to know your dog so they are put in with a group that fits their personality We feel blessed to have found them and able to leave and feel secure they are well taken care of !!!

If I could give a negative review I would. Now I can only speak about the McMinnville location, but…read moreI wanted to share my story because even after approx. 6 months I am still furious. I used to take my dog to RDR twice a week for daycare. Until one day my fiance gets a call from RDR saying that our dog has a slight cut on his ear from a fence. They believe the vet should be able to fix him good as new. (Why does this establishment have harming facilities?) They also asked if we would like to come get our dog to take him to the vet or they can take our dog to their vet. Due to not being able to get away, she opted to have them handle the vet situation. She then calls me to inform me about the injury. We agreed once I was free, I would pick him up from the vet. I showed up to the vet to find a piece of my dog's ear missing. For a GSD, their ears are probably the most prominent feature they have. Now disfigured forever. I also notice molar impressions next to the wound. I ask the vet at Companion Pet Clinic, also in McMinnville, if he thought that the wound was really from a fence. He had no doubts a fence cause the injury. So now I fully believe I have a daycare that just lied to me, and a vet that is either an idiot or preserving his "Good Ole' Boy" relationship with RDR. Once I was able too, I took my dog to my own vet. The vet laughed out loud, when I explained the story that was told to me. I also went back to RDR, because they said they would do further investigation. Upon my return, the 20 something I assume is the manager, just sat, slouched in his chair, and had the attitude of a '70's surfer. No big deal, happens all the time, it's cool. I will say there are 3 positives from this story. - RDR paid 100% of the vet bill without me asking. - RDR refunded all my money. - I met an amazing trainer at another facility afterward. Here is my bottom line. I have been around animals my whole life. I understand things happen and sometimes dogs don't get along. But don't ever lie to me about it. Finally, maybe RDR should review the quality of people they hire.

So we chose the Petco in McMinnville as his first venture out into the mix. I love that leashed pups are welcome in the store that sells their goodies and necessities. We wandered the aisles and the new dog was fascinated by all the smells and sounds and obviously-doggie-stuff that filled the shelves. Other dogs and their people were there --even a few that were loud and boisterous (the dogs, not the people) -- but pup was just alert and mildly interested. Never afraid or too interested. :D Everybody knows what these big pet stores sell -- and this one has a bit of it all. -- even a variety of OSU and UofO doggie t-shirts and jerseys. (maybe next fall.) What we found for pup was a really big and challenging chew stick. When I held it out for him to sniff a thumbs up or down -- it was a clear YES. He took it and carried it up to the check-out like a real pro. And he surrendered it long enough to check out -- then took it back sooo politely. Success in 1. We'll be back.

She and her staff, who are so well taught by her, see things that others will miss, they notice why your pup may be doing things, itching, wearing on a space, etc. West Salem grooming is just the best no comparison. Thanks so much Linda. Benson, and Gus are grateful.

We've been going here for over a year. Our regular groomer, Miranda, took off for maternity and now…read moremy dog, Maggy, "is too aggressive - it's a safety issue." She wouldn't let them work on one of her paws. She's never let them work on one of her paws. She shows teeth but they've never reported anything more. It's unfortunate and a little disappointing. They do an alright job. It's super convenient but Moon our german shepherd is always really damp when I pick her up and it's a hit or miss with the proper grooming especially around the potty area where if not done properly can create a mess and the hair matted since our last grooming. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked them to please pay more attention to that area when I dropped them off. It's a bit of a mad house but I appreciated them working with us with Maggy's sensitivity to her paw being worked on.
