They spent time getting to know our little buddies before we left. They do the grooming right out of their house. There is a great fenced in area in the back for the pups to play.

So glad I found someone I can trust with my babies.

The next morning I called, talked with a wonderful lady and arranged for our vet to fax all of our pup's records. I was sooo thankful that they had room for him to stay the weekend! He loved it, I enjoyed seeing his pics on FB AND when we picked him up he had a 'report card' and received an A+ and was welcome back anytime. We LOVED that he was exhausted for our 1.75 hr ride home too I only wish they would branch out because we live too far away to bring him by regularly. You would do a great business in Conneaut Lake, Pa! Thank you! Cooper and his family loved it!

Occasionally I've worked from home in my downstairs office, and I hear them come in. Not only are they extremely kind and seem genuinely happy to be seeing your pet, but they give my dog some good exercise. I'll come upstairs after work to see my pup asleep and happy. I'll be using them for many more years as long as they keep providing good service! I recommend the walking service to working folks with pets who are home alone all day because it breaks the day up nicely for them.

I am extremely disappointed with the grooming service my two Golden Retrievers received here…read more When I dropped my dogs off, I was very clear about what I wanted. I asked for their coats to be trimmed as short as they could safely go because they have double coats, but I specifically and clearly stated that I did NOT want them shaved and I wanted their double coats to be safe. When I picked my dogs up, I was shocked by how short their body coats had been taken. Their coats were left extremely short and very uniform across the body. My issue is not simply that I didn't like the haircut. I understand that grooming involves some interpretation. My issue is that I specifically communicated a limitation -- short, but not shaved. There is also a reason owners of double-coated breeds are often advised against shaving or taking their coats extremely short. A Golden Retriever's double coat serves important functions beyond appearance. The outer coat helps protect the skin from environmental exposure, while the undercoat provides insulation. Removing too much of that coat can reduce the dog's natural protection from sun exposure and temperature extremes, increase the risk of sunburn and skin irritation, and in some dogs the coat may grow back unevenly or with a different texture. It can also remove the natural protective barrier that helps protect the skin from dirt, insects and other environmental irritants. That is precisely why I made a point of telling the groomer that I did not want my dogs shaved. I expected a professional groomer to understand the risks associated with taking a double-coated breed extremely short and to respect the limitation I gave them. I called the business to ask what had been done. Instead of having someone calmly explain the grooming process, the groomer was rude and dismissive and essentially responded with, "So what's the issue?" And the groomer denied shaving them completely. I ultimately asked to speak with the owner because I did not feel my concern was being handled appropriately. The owner did eventually call me and apologized, which I appreciated. However, when I requested a partial refund, the owner refused. Instead, I was offered 50% off another grooming appointment for each dog. I don't feel that offering me a discount on a future service addresses the problem with the service I already paid for. I also don't appreciate being told that the owner has "never had anyone ask for a refund before" as though that somehow invalidates my request. Please look at the photographs and make your own decision. I would strongly recommend being extremely specific about what you want and making sure the groomer understands exactly how much coat you are authorizing them to remove. $190 spent, an unwanted haircut, no refund, and no confidence that I would receive the service I requested if I returned. Below is a before and after of my dog..

I happen upon two dog walkers with a crew of dogs during one of my daily walks with my dog at Schenley Park.

Sheileen meticulously interviewed myself and our dog. :) Our dog completed the orientation process that included multiple dog outings and she is now a "regular." Our dog is now calm, content, and happy and so am I (giggle). Our dog loves her new friends and and the outings.

No one is better at anthropomorphizing their pet than I am. No one. I religiously check the…read moreingredients of the food that Gus eats, I wake up at absurd hours in the morning during the summer so his walk isn't too hot, and he has this crazy dog seat/throne in the back seat of my car so he can look out the window. You've all heard of helicopter parenting, yeah? It's a mess and screwing up today's children, but I'm totally guilty of helicopter doggie parenting. All of which is to say that I'm not going to drop Gus off at some random place while I go to work. Step 1 (which I think the other reviewer skipped/missed): call them and make an appointment. Taking a strange dog into a place full of dogs is a little dicey. Typically, new dogs are brought over on Saturday (when there are no other dogs around) so Barbara can get a sense of its temperament. Barbara is great with dogs and has a ton of experience, but I totally had the, "well, if my kid isn't good enough for them, screw them!" thoughts running through my head. Obviously, Barbara instantly saw the inherent awesomeness of Gus. Step 2: learn to let go. I don't have kids, but I imagine this is pretty much the same as dropping them off at daycare. The first few times, they scream and cry when you leave and you're left feeling like a terrible person for the rest of the day. Then one day, magically, they're excited to go to daycare (or Bow WoW) and they don't even look back while they're led away to the playroom. It's a bittersweet moment, but one can't help but feel a little proud. See what I mean about the anthropomorphizing thing? Bow Wow separates the dogs by size and organizes the day into blocks of play, rest, and exercise so the dogs don't get overstimulated, which can cause stress. The staff is excellent about communicating with owners about even minor changes in your dog's behavior and simply giving you updates about how your dog's socialization and adjustment. I think I spent the first 2-3 weeks asking, "Is he playing? Is he making friends?" on a daily basis. The entire staff was very good about humoring me. Gus loves it there (his radar triggers around 21st street and he starts to flip out in the car) and I feel safe about leaving him there. And honestly, when it comes to a doggie day care, that's all that matters.
