However, when someone is amazing, other consumers deserve to know and hopefully other groomers will up their quality to try to catch up with Hair of the Dog! I've taken my Yorkie (Spoon) here three times now and she's AMAZING. Spoon LOVES going there and she is more reasonable then any other groomer from Carmel to San Francisco. I travel from San Francisco just to take Spoon here. Spoon is a 7 lb. Yorkie and she has her in and out of there in about 40 minutes flat. You'll love Hair of the Dog.

When I brought my dog to Janna at Hair of the Dog, Janna was immediately concerned. She took the time to completely remove my dog's undercoat, and cut away hair that was hopelessly matted. Janna also trimmed my dog's nails, which is not an easy task, since my dog really dislikes it. When I picked up my dog I couldn't believe how much better she looked. All that nasty undercoat had been removed and "feathers" trimmed. I can't remember her looking so good since she was a puppy. Janna was so friendly to me and my dog. I know when my dog has not been treated well (yes, she speaks to me and is a diva!).

I really appreciate that there are no cages and that they only do what he feels comfortable with, which says a lot about how much they truly care. Their new location at the Barnyard is such a great move -- it's larger, roomier, and has easy parking, which makes everything so much more convenient. They even have cute dog jewelry, which is such a fun touch. They're also open on Saturdays, which is a huge plus. I truly would not recommend anyone else for pet grooming. Trish and her staff will take great care of you and your pet.

We booked an appointment because our friend's pup was in desperate need of a last minute haircut…read more Our normal groomer was fully booked, so we started calling around. Virginia took our call and was nice at first, let us know there was space the next day and seemed really flexible about drop-off, haircut options, etc. The next morning, we dropped him off. A couple hours later, we get a call letting us know he was ready to be picked up and was told to pick him up immediately because he was barking. Upon pickup, we noticed his hair wasn't really trimmed, it was still really long. It just looked like he got a bath and blowout. We had sent reference photos of a standard puppy cut we normally get for our puppy with our normal groomer, so wasn't sure why his hair was still so long. They said they will cut it shorter but will need another 30 minutes. After another 30 mins, Virginia called us back and very rudely said "you need to pick this dog up, this is the best we're going to be able to do and he's barking and annoying the other dogs." Her tone and demeanor were incredibly rude and unnecessary. What confused me is when we showed up for final pickup, we heard several dogs barking and none of them were the pup we dropped off, I wonder if they were getting similar phone calls. Though they were able to get his hair shorter, it was very poorly done. The legs and underbelly area are still really long and there are several areas where his hair length is uneven and awkward looking. They charged more than our normal groomer, did a really poor job, and Virginia treated us very rudely.

I had been searching for a mobile groomer because it's tough to take both pups at the same time and my rescue doesn't get along with other dogs and that can be an issue taking her.

I will definitely be using Shane for as long as possible and if you have any doggie anxiety issues or just want your fur babies to feel more relaxed at home you need to have Shane come out.

In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.
