    MrBenny

    I took MrBenny, age 2, a long haired deer nose chihuahua originally back in August 2023 for a simple nail and paw hair trim because a sister company closer to me was booked out. They did a great job "in and out", meaning they were more than willing to take him immediately and me to wait for him because he had terrible separation anxiety issues, which they did everything possible to make it easy. In the intervening period, I had various other places trim his nails, including the vets, but never as well done as Best Friends. This is a dog who would never ever let me brush him, although he loves water and was easy to bath, I finally got fed up with picking leaves and mud out of his very long haired tail as he sweeps the lawn and dirt roads where he walks daily. Off we went to Best Friends Grooming! Bath, trim, nails. They did an excellent job and even for a breed prone to anxiety, I would say it couldn't have been easier on him. From the vibe I got on first arrival, calm and welcoming and no barking dogs, neither when I dropped him off or picked him up. The other place I tried, I walked away from as there was way too much going on with loud barking by huge dogs. My dog at under 20lb was terrified. At Best Friends Grooming, the dogs waiting in crates are set at waist height in the wall, so they can see the other dogs on the grooming tables - so smart, so not scary and they know what to expect. It's a small place, so you may have to be flexible on your appointment, and for me it's a bit further to travel than I would choose, but so worth it and they did a really good job on his trim, exactly what I asked for and reasonably priced. Thanks, we'll be back!

    Look what they did to the top of my puppies nose.  I am so upset.

    Brought my puppy to Best Friends for her first grooming. They cut way too close above a nose. I am hoping that this does not become a permanent scar. When I send 2 emails to them questioning what happened, they would not respond. They are very unprofessional and will not be going back.

    Took my dog here recently. I was able to get an appointment in just a few days. They took such good care of my dog. I have an elderly toy poodle and she was long overdue for a grooming. They were so gentle with her and she was done in less than two hours. So easy. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Bath time!!

    They did an excellent job, and were able to accommodate us late minute. Thanks guys!

    This was the first time my two babies were brought here. I usually do the grooming myself but with my M.S. it's just too difficult now a days. They especially Hailey were so patient with my pups. They didn't try n push extra or unnecessary treatments on them either. I can't say enough good things about this groomer. This is the first review I have ever written.

    Shout out to Emerald City Dog Spa in Rocky Point!…read more Letting everyone with doggies they love in on our little secret- they are fantastic for both GROOMING and BOARDING!!! Hello everyone! I don't normally post on social media anymore but I had to give a shout out and review for Emerald City Dog Spa INC. In Rocky Point!! We recently left Daisy (77 lb sheepadoodle) and Duffy (42 lb Wheaton terrier) with Michelle at Emetald Emerald City Dog Spa INC. For 8 days while we went on a vacation. We will never go anywhere else again!! So many wonderful things to say it's actually easier if I list them lol - They had a lovely large room (12' x 10'?) all their own, with their own window looking outside to boot! They had so much room!! - they got to play outside in a fenced in safe play area under her supervision - she played with them and fussed with their food the whole 8 days finding ways to have our very picky eaters eat! - they were under camera supervision as well as her supervision and kept safe at all times - Michelle texted us and sent photos throughout each day making us feel relaxed and at ease knowing they were in great hands - Michelle takes only one family at a time so we knew there were no other dogs to worry about - Before coming home they each got a bath and blowout and were so soft and smelled so lovely - and best of all - Michelle was just lovely to work with. She was so friendly, helpful, and caring we feel like we've met a new friend. So there it is! For everyone else like us that worries about our babies I had to post this, and as a big thank you to Michelle too- Oh- and she is fantastic at making them look beautiful. Duffy is a hot mess when it comes to grooming and she is patiently getting him to relax and go with the flow. They always come out fantastic But now that I wrote this- you guys better not hog her so much we can't get in!!

    Today was the second time that we used Michele at Emerald city for our grooming needs. We picked up…read moreour dogs and they looked like they just walked out of a street dumpster. They were shaved and full of bloody scrapes and cuts and their haircut is just awful. My little guy's nails look like they were cut on a cheese grater. When we discussed our disappointment with her via text, she responded with no dignity and no class. She defended herself and spoke rudely to us and had every excuse in the book as to why they were cut that way. I have never seen my beautiful dogs look so terrible. Also, as a groomer, you are to notify the owners if you think the dog needs to be shaved that low due to mats. My dogs do not have mats and if any of them did by any chance, we should've been notified of this prior to her taking it upon herself to do such a drastic, uneven job. Any reputable business owner would not justify their mistakes via a text war, they would acknowledge and sympathize with the angry customer who just paid a ton of money and did anything to make it right. She was texting so many times that I had to block her from my mother's phone. The way she displays her social media and her love for animals is not what you get in person. Save your money. You've been warned. (See after grooming photos and a before photo of our beautiful babies day before the grooming appointment.) UPDATE: After my mom blocked her from texting, she started texting me and threatening me.

    I have a 12 year old Maine Coon cat, she has squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth that has spread…read moreto her two front paws. She is a happy cat that in spite of her disease is in suprisingly good health. She dose however require more frequent grooming as the cancer will cause her fur to become sticky and matted as a result of her grooming herself, this also causes her to have a foul Oder. My regular Groomer would not be available for three weeks, after calling several groomers in the area I found The Shaggy Dog pet groomers of Rocky Point. Brenda seemed very compassionate and caring as I explained our cats health issues and grooming need. I explained that I once had to have her completely shaved because she became so matted so fast and with more frequent grooming and shaving just her belly we have been able to avoid having her shaved again. She is after all a long haired cat! Brenda assured me all would be fine and I could bring her in this coming Saturday At 2PM. On Saturday my Husband dropped off our cat and again explained to Brenda her health issues and odor due to her cancer. He even explained that should she need to shave the matting to shave only belly. again Brenda assured him that it will all be ok. Two hours later Brenda Called she was all ready to be picked up. upon arrival our cat was in her carrier and ready to go. Brenda began to explain that she did in fact have to shave the matted fur, as my husband looked closer he was shocked to see a completely shaved cat. when asked why she shaved our cat her response was well you had her shaved before, that she was matted. She was only matted on her underbelly and leg area. She also said "What is that Smell!" After we had already explained that it is from the cancer. She took it upon herself to shave our cat without informing us first that she was going to do that. Any reputable groomer would notify the animals owner if they plan on making a drastic change to their look. Brenda did not do this. Both my husband and I gave her very clear instructions what to do and NOT to shave her body. She did not listen. Unfortanetly my cat will probably pass away from cancer before she ever gets her fur to grow back completely. I am so angry that this has happened. I will never use this groomer again nor will I ever recommend her.
