    I was very happy with the results of Angie's grooming. I was amazed that the groomer was able to complete it in just over a half hour.

    UPDATE REVIEW: Thank you for the generic response to my review. I've added additional photos of the…read moretext messages asking me to come back in so they can fix the groom. If my dog was aggressive and that's the reason why the groom wasn't complete, WHY ASK HIM TO COME BACK???? WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I PICKED HIM UP YOU SAID HE DID GREAT! This is all cover up to point blame! You also issued me not even HALF of what I paid. I paid $183, you issued me $72 because YOU DONT ISSUE TIPS. How is this okay for you to keep the tip?! Ridiculous. Seriously DONT COME HERE. They are untruthful. They have no idea how to treat clients and they do not know how to communicate! They are not admitting they are at fault saying it's my dogs fault! ------------ My dog was groomed by Fiona. I gave her a heads up that my dog does better away from me, once he is handed over he is fine. My dog has been getting groomed since he was a puppy, this is nothing new to him! Upon arrival, Fiona did not seem welcoming at all. She did immediately approached my dog in a fast motion which if anyone knows dog behaviors this is a big NO NO. She said "let me take him" I handed over the leash and she rushed him to the back. I gave her the benefit of the doubt that this is a new dog and she just needs to see how he does. After a few minutes of him being in the bag, I assume she tested to see how he does being lifted, carried and placed and taken out of the kennel. All makes sense! She comes out and says "okay he did fine!" She points at the price and says $145, however the link she sent me via text and on her website says $135 very inconsistent numbers. She asked how I want the hair cut to be, I said please do not make him bald or shaved down. He can stay short, keep his eyebrows but trim it and trim the length of his ears and his muzzle area. I get a call at 12pm that he's ready. She comes out saying to get my dog from the kennel because he started to grow when being approached in the kennel. I grab him and he is so happy! Wagging his tail! She even showed me where she cut around his face and her hands were very close to his face. He smelt very good and looked good. She told me his ears were very dirty and she cleaned them, cut the nails and did everything and that he was great for the groom. I paid $183 in total for the groom but if I receive exceptional outstanding service I don't blink an eye and am happy to pay. When we got home, I looked him over and he still had Matt's on his ears. The AD said brush out for 15 minutes--clearly my dogs ears were not brushed. I looked in his ears and his ears still had debris in them! I understand not being able to get deep in the ear canal but the easy outer ear area had gunk. The full groom AD stated a sanitary trim but his sanitary area was not trimmed at all! It was the same length from when he came in! I checked his paws and none of his paws were cut or trimmed! Not even the bottom of the paw pads! At this point I am furious because I paid $183. I check his nails and NONE of his nails were cut at all!!! I reach out to Fiona, who groomed my dog and she asked me three times for me to come back for her to get it fixed. She said this was all very surprising to her, I told her I took photos of all the errors. She said she cut my dogs nails but if she cut it too short it'll bleed however they were not cut at all! They are still pointy and long from when he arrived! At this point we are going back and forth and then she throws the "my dog started to try to bite her" card however my dog being aggressive or trying to bite was NOT mentioned AT ALL! Not at pick up, not through our exchange in messages, the only time she decided to say it is when I asked for a refund as I do not want to go back to her grooming facility! I assume she is saying that to make an excuse as to why nothing was done. If this was the case why wasn't it mentioned AT ALL? I am extremely frustrated and I definitely do not recommend this grooming facility. It is half ass work for paying an arm and a leg. I expect exceptional service the first time, not after I complain about the lack of detail of the groom that you then decide to ask me to come back and do it over for me. If my dog was trying to bite, why did she offer to trim my dogs nails if I come back and that she'll fix everything, I truly believe that this was just a cover up, because she started to mention it AFTER I declined her offer for her to fix it! I asked for a full refund but the owner is only offering me half! why does it take someone to complain for people to start doing a good job or to start doing what their job actually entails? Why can't it just be done as expected the very first time!

She can be very difficult to handle, so I was nervous about how the appointment would go. But the groomer was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding with her. They never rushed her and handled her with so much care, even when she was being difficult. I really appreciate their patience and professionalism -- it made me feel so much more at ease. My dog is very friendly, and they did an amazing job with her too! Both of them looked so clean and adorable afterward. I'm especially grateful for how patiently they treated my scared and feisty cat. I would definitely trust them with my pets again!

    My sister, husband, and I have been taking our dogs here for the past year and a half, and I have…read morenothing but positive things to say. First of all, their booking website is easy to navigate, and I love how I can see their dates and times laid out. Prices (by weight) are also visible and transparent. Once your appointment is booked, you'll receive a confirmation text and email letting you know the appointment details. 1-3 days before the appointment, you'll also receive a reminder text, which gives you a chance to reschedule or cancel if needed and notifies you of their cancellation/late policy. Secondly, I can tell they're really sweet with the dogs because of how the finished dogs are just chilling up front (behind a gate) with the owner (or whichever groomer is taking a break up front). My corgi, Goku, even starts crying because he doesn't want to leave! He loves the grooming team (but to be fair. . . He is a corgi, so he likes everyone). If the dogs were truly afraid / traumatized from their experiences, they'd be shaking in fear. My sister's dog, for example, gets severe anxiety going to the groomers' and refuses to walk inside the storefront. Lilian, her groomer, will take the time to gently and patiently walk inside with her. Never forceful. Just going at the dog's pace. Please try to use common sense when looking through reviews. Is this really the behavior of an employer who would improperly train their employees to abuse dogs? Dogs are notoriously known for moving around especially near the eyes, so groomers have to hold dogs at certain angles in order to safely do their job. Let's not let one Karen's experience ruin Furever Grooming's reputation. Let their work speak for itself. The employees are nothing but kind, respectful, and good at their jobs.

    We've been taking our Yorkie, Atlas, to Doggy Doodle for the last 9 years, and every experience has…read morebeen fantastic. We've been to one other groomer, and while the cut itself wasn't bad, it was way overgrown within two weeks and already needed to be cut again. We wanted a place that could provide a different experience, and finding Doggy Doodle was a blessing. It's been almost a decade, and we've had nothing but positive experiences here. Charlene, the owner, is incredible; very friendly, extremely accommodating and flexible, and so sweet with our old man. She's stayed at the salon late when we could only pick him up after-hours, due to our work schedules. Multiple times she was able to fit us into an already packed day. He's not the easiest to groom since he tends to wiggle around, yet she always does a a great job and never mentions it negatively. When he was a puppy, there were services that she wasn't able to do safely because of how he was acting, and it was always communicated to us effectively and directly. Even though some might find her abrasive, she's just a direct person. But she's always been kind. Atlas is co-parented (lol I know), we separated 4-ish years ago and both moved out of the area. But we still make the -- sometimes hour-long -- drive to bring him here and see Charlene.

    I've been taking my dog here for a few years now. Regardless of the bad reviews I've read, I've…read morenever had an issue. I never thought the owner was rude. She was just straight forward. The work she did was also decent. A few times my dog would look like a helmet head but it never bothered me. That's why it's 2 stars & not 1. But this last time was the last time I told myself I'd take her here. She had razor cuts under both arms & then got a fungal infection under one of legs. I didn't even notice it until I saw my baby scratching & licking herself so much. After checking her, I saw the scrapes under her arm. I was furious. Then the licking wouldn't stop under her leg. Took her to the vet & they told me it's a fungal skin infection. I asked if it can happen from a groomer & they said yes if the tools aren't cleaned properly. Now before taking her to the groomers she was fine. No skin issues. Then literally a few days after I saw the irritation on her skin. If you do decide to take your fur baby here, just make sure you check them while you're in her salon.
