We're new to dog ownership and honestly I was a tad scared to do his nails myself. I booked an appointment for the week before Christmas. Probably should have thought through that better. We dropped our nervous Nelly off in a new environment with other dogs there, one of which would not stop barking while my husband and I were there. Half an hour later they all and say that he's just too nervous today to do anything but that they realllllly want to try again. The lady who called (my memory for names sucks, sorry) was really apologic but I knew my dogwas nervous and honestly, wasn't surprised. But I was suprised at how much she wanted a second chance so we scheduled another try on Jan 2 when she figured it'd be slower. I dropped him off and he did not want to go inside but we managed. When I went to pick him up they told me he was nervous for the first 15 or so minutes but then chilled out. I was shocked at how happy the dog I picked up was. There are many factors at play for his 180 change of heart, the spa was not hectic, it was chill and calm. The other dogs there that day were wonderfully behaved. The groomers had time to pamper him since it wasn't the crazy Christmas season. He had also started anti anxiety medication about a week before going. These all worked in my specific situation. I'm most impressed with how eager they were to see him again after that first try they really wanted him to have a fantastic time. I highly recommend any Asheville dog parents try out pawsitivity spa! Your dog will be treated like royalty.

New to asheville. New puppy…read more First grooming. I was very anxious bringing my new pup for his first groom. I have bathed my poodle at home and eventually want to cut myself. But, need a couple professional cuts first. I brought poodle pics indicating the "style" i wanted. Not every poodle needs to look like he is competing at madison Square gardens. Picked up my boy about 2 hrs. Later and the cut was perfect. I have a relatively macho looking toy poodle who is not embarassed by any superfluous puffs or shaved spots. Ears are clean . Behind clean. Nails trimmed. I will return in the future

I took my Pekingese to Bobbi, who was awesome, for more…read morethan four years, but two visits after Bobbi retired they sent a pink and purple-haired twentysomething with canine facial piercings who I had never seen before out to tell me my dog was too much trouble in his advanced age. Said they wouldn't groom him again. "Unfortunately, this is the last time," she said. He'd wet himself repeatedly, and his legs were too weak, she said. I wept all the way home. And then when I looked at him closely I found two places that looked like he had been cut and had bled when I specifically had it put on his record that he was not to be shaved. Pekingese are only supposed to be scissor-cut. Then I got angry because I realized he'd been hurt and was scared, and that was the reason for the excessive urination and shaking. I blame myself for not reminding them, but it doesn't matter now. I know that no one has staff anymore, but this was handled so very poorly.

Lots of food choices, treats, and assorted goodies. We found a new product called a "No Hide" chew stick. And aside from being quite the thrill for my dog there was no upset tummy either. Yay!
