They can get all of the tasks done in a short time if necessary, but sometimes we even book extra time just so they can spend more time playing and petting. They usually send the same sitter, but when they have to send someone else they make sure to do a meet and greet so everyone is comfortable, including Rebel. Rebel loves her "Bunnysitters", especially Bridget and Maria, and we love them too because they keep her out of trouble and keep us updated with lots of photos during our time away!

We had our 6 month old Laberdoodle groomed the on June 27the, 2023 by Di-Dio Kennels in Moorsville,…read moreNC. Upon arriving, I communicated to the groomer that it was his first haircut, and I requested the cut for a doodle. I thought it would be like a large poodle cut. It was his first haircut and had plenty of hair. I never asked to shave him, like they implied. We were just appalled with how he came back looking, and the physical condition he was in. I noticed he was shaved so close to the skin, that it caused razor burns and cuts all over his body. His eyes were blood red, he was crying, and not able to walk. We noticed his behavior due to his skin being blood raw, and had a deep cut on his leg. The fur under his legs looked completely shaved with clippers as if he was cut for an operation, and other parts of the hair were just so choppy, he didn't look like himself. He didn't even smell like he had been washed. He was not matted, the manager kept insisting that would have caused them to shave him. I will provide pictures, video, and a report from our vet, to show that these are not baseless accusation. We called the business immediately and informed them of my dogs conditions, and their response was, "what would you like us to do"? He was matted, and was he a friendly dog? My husband was so upset he went back to them in person, with the puppy, to show them his condition. He was told the dog was being difficult, and they needed to sedate him to calm him down. We were never notified of the problem, nor did we ever give them permission to sedate him, shave him, or treat him as they did. He was being cut with a razor, so how should he behave? He is such a sweet dog, and still a puppy. I can't imagine how bad could he have been. My dog is now traumatized, taking several medications, and going forward will forever be traumatized to be groomed. Our veterinarian said the blood vessels in his eyes were all broken, his scrotum was raw and infected, he had mussel inflammation, and pain in the base of his tail. They finally did give me a refund, money towards the cost of a medical cone, and some medications. While that's all well and good, the money was not the issue. I don't want to necessarily hurt someone's business, but I can't let this go without informing the public. Think twice before choosing a business. You hand over your helpless pet, and you're trusting they will take care of them, but there are businesses and groomers out there that are not qualified. In my case they clearly didn't know what they were doing. If he was so bad, or matted why didn't they just stop, and call me. Now my dog and family are paying the price.

They welcomed Rocko with caress making him feel comfortable as well as myself. They took their time to learn about his personality and routine. There was positive energy throughout the facility, which was spotless and smelled amazing. I appreciate the pictures and the report card that was given to me at pickup. When they were bringing Rocko to me he wanted to go back and play which said it all that he had a blast! When he got to the truck he was happy and tired which was a good thing, he slept all night. I can't say enough about this place but bring your fur baby you will be glad you did!

Also back nails matted and not ground as they had said they had done. Our poor little princess. Called to tell facility not expecting anything- and that is exactly what I got- the man that I spoke to told me that this was not something that could have happened and seemed less than concerned about what had occurred at his salon but that it must just be something wrong with my dog. Never offered to refund or even comforting words at all- so we got from here was a dog with razor burn, cut under her arm, over perfumed and now scared of grooming for $50! Won't go back and will discourage anyone that ask to do the same.
