I currently have 3 females and they love coming to see Jennifer and get amazing care. She is truly a blessing to my dogs. She is knowledgeable about any possible medical issues that would require a veterinarian visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a groomer for smaller long hair breeds. She doesn't leave dogs in cages and only has my dogs in her shop when grooming. She provides a safe and welcoming environment. Jennifer is awesome and gives your dog total personal attention. She has my vote!

We can usually get them in on a days notice and they're always ready when promised. She was also the only person who could de-skunk our Labrador after he decided to give chase three times this Summer (Northbrook & Glenview seem to have a high number of skunks the past few years). We've tried other places including the big pet stores when she's been sick or on vacation and we always go back to her.

Decent Job on Mochi. There were some areas that needed more clean up tweaks including his sanitary…read moreareas... not cleanly done (belly not transitioned and privates not trimmed cleanly) and his butt area was not done at all... I will say he was in a less than ideal shape but not horrid. Hes been on a break since a Petco groomer had traumatized him by holding him for 5 hours when it should have been 2 ... in hindsight I think she had nicked him (on his privates!!!) and was not releasing him to me in time because he was likely still bleeding. Anywho... he got cleaned up here but I was charged $75 and a $3 CC fee (even though I used a debit card)... and my friend from the dog park (who has a twin of my Maltese though he is technically a Coton) told me they had charged her $65. I should have gotten an itemized receipt and not just a copy of the machine charge amount and looked closely at his trim to get the tweaks done there. Oddly they also did not take the residential contact info or dog demographics like breed, age and record the service and cut as most of these groomer businesses do as if they expect repeat business. Also did not ask for more than a phone number and last name when I made the original appointment. Nor asked for proof of vaccination or at least rabies... note: dog park membership pass should be like a TSA pre-check since the Park District makes you jump thru every hoop annually. The level of professionalism and process seems to need work but they are a newly minted SB and conveniently located so will keep an open mind for now.

I have to write this review so people know exactly what to expect, good and bad…read more Front desk staff: Lindsay and Melissa are fantastic but the rest of the staff is hit or miss. Cory is extremely mood dependent and can be super nice or super rude. Nicole is just rude. Nicole let us know they fired Mella, one of our favorite staff along with Lindsay. Also, not sure why Nicole violated the rules by telling me but it felt unprofessional. Expect attitude and brusqueness. Booking Appointments: Normal. Phone calls and you can book online now. Book weeks in advance unless you fight the phone lines for cancellations at 7:30am. Fairly normal for a Vet practice. You can often get lucky if persistent but you must call multiple times until you get through. They have an app that is very helpful and I recommend downloading. Also they do a great job sending reminders and confirming appointments. Location: Off a main street (Skokie Blvd) and Main street. Good location. Nice building. Always clean. Smells nice. They have dedicated parking spaces. Waiting room has ample chairs and space. Cost: General visits for a dog cost me 700-800 with shots. That's crazy!! No sickness. Shots and a check up. So that's insane. They charged me about 4k last summer for what turned out to be allergies treated with cytopoint and a mange pill. Expect estimates to exceed their high cost. Vet tech appointments for fluids are easy and cost effective. Experiences: I went here the first time in 2007/8 and did a vet check and flea check. The doctor said no fleas. Turns out there were fleas and had to deal with more issues and a different vet. I stopped going. After about 12 years I gave them another chance as my previous vet moved. Incidents I've had over the last few years: Told by Dr. Miz my dog Barbara's labs weren't exciting and she was fine. Kept telling him she was lethargic and sick and wasn't herself. Even the staff knew she wasn't herself. He didn't think it was a big deal and I was exaggerating. She was diagnosed with late stage pancreatic cancer the next week by another vet and went immediately into emergency treatment and crossed the rainbow bridge. She suffered for a week due to his misdiagnosis. Exact words on file were "Labs not exciting" Next, took them over six months to diagnose my older dog with senior mange and put him through months of expensive treatments when he needed a pill. It was horrific seeing his hair and face bubble and lose skin. Turns out his chronic kidney disease they were treating him for made hm susceptible. When I adopted a dog from Orphans of The Storm, they did her spay. She came out a completely different dog who couldn't pee the same. I was told by others in the Vet community they do cheaper spays and less anesthesia foe the rescues. What's good? Dr. Stewart is an absolute gem. She is the only reason I kept going after my traumatic experience losing Barbara. Dr. Zoe seems great as well. Dr. Miz....I don't know what to think. Part of me wants to like him because while my first experiences were so awful the lat time I saw him was really kind. He's the owner and he does have a kind face and demeanor. Dr. Zoe is wonderful and a great addition. Seriously great attitude. Bottom line: Roll the dice. You might get lucky for a while if your pet has no issues. If you're pet is sick, well, it's really hit or miss. I am leaving this because thank goodness I've moved states and no longer rely on them for Dante. Dr. Miz, since I know you read this: My advice? Train the staff to just have kindness. You have some awesome people and your vets are great. But we can't get them if your staff makes it uncomfortable to make an appointment or call in. Customer service is really starting to lack and that was never the case before. I really appreciate you for the last time I saw you and felt you were kind. As the owner, maybe you don't know some of this. I would love to have left a better review but I couldn't in good conscious. I hope it does improve because I do believe you love animals and do care and so Dr. Stewart and Dr. Zoe.

We have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a French Bulldog - who are obviously very different in terms of both personality and their needs. This past 8 nights, one of her employees Jim stayed overnight in our home with the dogs. He texted me to let me know how things were going regularly and he seemed to genuinely love spending time with the dogs. Our Berner can be stubborn so I typically tell the dog sitters not to walk her, but Jim took both of them on walks daily in order to keep them out of the messy yard. We returned home to 2 calm dogs, without any issues! We joked that the house looks cleaner than when we left - he definitely took care of cleaning up after the messy dogs (which I don't usually expect!) Melissa is great in responding for last minute visits if we are out unexpectedly and now we feel that when it's time for vacation, we can go again without worrying about the dogs!
