The staff was very accommodating. I had mixed up my scheduled day and I showed up and they worked my Cat in. She has long hair and matting I could not manage alone as she is a two person hold. I was very pleased when I picked her up. She had a furry head, tail, and boots. I just called to get on their schedule for her yearly cut. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAT to them to get groomed otherwise they could wind up shaved in bizarre places like ours did... Then shaved her from one front leg to the other, almost to the skin in a few places AND chopped her fur with jagged cuts all around her neck! She looks absolutely ridiculous and this will take months to grow out. THEY WERE EXPLICITLY TOLD NOT TO CUT HER FUR! When questioned about it, they claim they don't know how that happened and didn't cut there... THE CAT DIDN'T SHAVE HERSELF! We have brought our Maine Coon to them on two occasions... The first time we noticed that they had trimmed where we had asked them not to and thought maybe there was a miscommunication... In fairness we wanted to give the business a second try and brought our cat back again and made sure there was no misunderstanding on not cutting or shaving our Maine Coon except for sanitary region... Obviously there was no misunderstanding, the groomers blatantly ignored our request, completely violated our trust, and made our cat look absolutely ridiculous! It will take months to grow out!!! I wish I would have read some other reviews before I took her there, I would have seen how they violated other owner's directions and haphazardly shaved other pets explicitly again the owner's directions and without consent! Their "affordable" pricing will be at you fur-babies expense, and you will pay for it indirectly with how they violate your consent. read more

I got an appointment very quickly. Lovely staff. I was able to wait on my fur baby since she was already bathed and combed out. Several dogs walking around enjoying each other's company! Very fair prices and a good haircut. I'll be back! read more

First experience here was okay but this time the cut was very poor. All over the cut in uneven and her tail looks like it just got hacked. People seem friendly though just a house with a lot of children and dogs running around. Just not professional. My poor golden looks awful. Never again! read more

Caren's Grooming Salon - My silky terrier loves this place and the staff! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Upon arriving stateside after living overseas for 3 years, I needed to find a place to take my dog for grooming. A friend of mine had always taken her dog to Caren's, so they were my first choice. Unfortunately, they no longer are. Caren's has always supported walk-ins until, it seems, the day that I took my dog. After waiting around for 20 minutes to see if they had an available slot. I was finally able to leave him. I picked him up a few hours later and everything seemed fine until I got home. My dog had more than a few nicks in his skin from the clippers. Also, his cut was very patchy. Some places still very long and others too close to the skin. I remembered Caren's being a good place to take your animal. From now on, I'll take my dog to Bark and forewarn anyone taking their animals to Caren's. read more

I was so disappointed when I picked up my puppy! I had told my groomer that she should pluck the hair from her ears, she didn't. I specifically asked her to leave her body long; she cut her very very short!! Her ears are uneven with long wisps of hair sticking out. I don't usually do reviews. But I felt the public should be warned!! read more

I absolutely love this place. LIAM -my Persian looks so much better. He seemed to like the staff. Will most definitely return! :)

This place is great, Candace is an excellent groomer!! Great service, great price! I have been satisfied with the staff and the service, my doggies love them too. read more

Great place for grooming! Friendly staff that takes care of my big babies for a reasonable price.

Caren's Grooming is very pet friendly. I found Caren's a number of years ago after the groomer I had gone to for a number of years abruptly closed and gave no notice to their customers. After calling, Al the owner, was very friendly and extremely helpful. I was hesitant since it was a new place, but my fears were quickly gone after my first visit. My dogs (notice I said dogs - they are 60# +) came home clean, toenails trimmed and happy as could be! When I boarded my dogs, the kennel commented that they were extremely good for their baths and asked if I took them to a groomer's on a regular basis. We have since lost two of our dogs, but have newer family members now. When we got a puppy 3 years ago, they recommended we bring her during the beginning of the week when its a little slower so she would have time to get use to the routine. They all look forward to their monthly trip to Caren's. All of the staff are friendly and care for your babies as if they were their own. read more

This is the best dog groomers I have been to so far! Carens Grooming is a great shop with wonderful groomers and a friendly atmosphere. I really feel like they care about me and my dog. Bella has been coming to the shop for over a year now and I just couldn't picture going anywhere else. They do appointments only but I always call to make mine ahead of time and they always get her in and done in a timely manner. read more

My dog passed away at CAREN'S GROOMING SALON On 08/02/10,I walked my 13 year old husky,by leash from my residence to the salon for a 8am app.During her walk to the salon there were no sighs that the dog was in any distress.I received a call at 10am stating that the grooming was complete sa i walked back to the salon,arriving at 10:05am.Upon my arrival, I paid for the grooming plus tips and when I try to get NikiTA she was lacking energy,motionless,not being able to stand up or walk on her own.I was told by the groomer that she was not feeling well during the grooming session and would not or could not stand.Why was there was never a phone call to let me know NikiTA was not well? If I had been told earlier ,I would have rushed her by my car to my vet and possibly saved her.I feel that in the future,you should make your employees aware that if this occurs again,they should not hesitate to call the owner of the pet to give them the opportunity to get the animal help.Losing nikita has broken my heart. read more

Very basic grooming, no specialty cuts. I have gone back, BUT my expectations are very LOW for this place. Staff seems friendly enough, but everytime I've been there I have not seen any interaction with the dogs there, or the ones crying and shaking in a cage. I observed twice a dog left standing and tethered on a table alone without anyone close by to keep it from jumping off or comforting it. I quit asking for anything but "just shave her!", yet her last grooming she got several nicks. I'll think long and hard before going back again unless I sit there and wait on her. read more

I've been taking my dog to Caren's for several years now. Met the owner, Al, when he was biking through my neighborhood and my dog took off after him. After a friendly chat he told me that he owned Caren's and encouraged me to come by and try them sometime. Since he was a super nice guy and it's within a mile from my house I decided to give them a try. Needless to say I haven't had to go looking any further. My boy has lived in 3 cities in his 7 short years so we've had to "shop" for groomers in the past. This is by far the best "salon" we've ever been to. Sure it looks a little "worn" on the inside but it's clean and no bad smells--not even "wet dog" smell. I never have trouble getting an appt (and I frequently call just a day ahead) and have never been disappointed with the service. Very efficient in terms of time (from 45 min to 2 hours) despite being busy most of the time. The best part is the price, super affordable for the service they provide, and I like it because it allows me to leave a more generous tip for those working there. Marta is Dusty's usual groomer and she is the best! All the staff are very friendly and hard working. I always see lots of happy, clean dogs with very proud owners leaving. Try them, you won't be disappointed! read more
