We couldn't have been happier with Juniper's wash and cut! After a horrible experience at another local groomer, Critter Wash was willing to take in our anxious pup and give her all the attention she needed to get used to things again. We really loved how transparent they were from start to finish. Everything from pricing to facilities and the procedure of services was explained up front. I've never seen Juniper look so good, feel so soft, or smell so nice! AND they didn't charge us for other services we didn't ask for! They were very explicit in that they would not force a pup into anything so that there would be a fear-free environment. We really loved that the owner had a lot of experience with other Aussies and that she had a few Mini Aussies of her own. She really knew what she was doing. We will certainly be coming back! Also, I've never seen her toe beans look so nice! My little pup has kitten paws read more

Trish is great! My scruffy pup looks so adorable when Trish is done with her:) Price is right, and service excellent.

I took my senior cat here and I am so happy with the results! I had to get my cat groomed due to one of my roommates having cat allergies and he has not had one allergy attack since the groom! My cat, who is a bit skittish and gets scared pretty easily, looked calm and happy when I picked him up. He came back clean, fluffy, and smelling sooo good. It's hard finding an experienced cat groomer and I can happily say that this place knows what their doing and will take care of your fur babies! Critter Wash is now my go to place! read more

Critter Wash - My two Himalayan cats, Evie and Chloe. - Pet Groomers Near Me

Very kind, accommodating and flexible. I explained over the phone how my cat can be very squeamish when getting groomed. Owner Patricia told me to come in so she could get her hands on my cat and see if she'd need a second person to help. She decided that she could groom my cat solo and even though was booked that day, said she could squeeze her in. Got a call about an hour later that my cat was ready to be picked up and did very well. Everything I asked for (wash, nail trim, sanitary trim) was done perfectly. The bonus on top was hearing that my cat was not under stress during the grooming process Patricia must have the magic touch. Will definitely be returning read more

Took my cat Moody to the Critter wash for the first time after I adopted him. Making the appointment was fast and easy. Great customer service. The groomer did a great job, she used 3 different shampoos, dedicated to getting the urine stains off of his fur( he is a rescue cat who slept in his litter box) Thank you for staying open during this difficult time Critter Wash. I would recommend this to anyone. read more

I think I read a review while I was looking around that said Trish 'speaks cat' and I'm here to tell you it's true!! I called all around and was having so much trouble finding someone who would take my kitty. Trish was so nice and offered to squeeze us in amidst the crazy holiday bookings! She did an ear clean, bath, and nail trim. My kitty could walk the runway. I've never seen her coat so shiny! I'm so happy with the service I received and will be back in the future. Highly recommend to my cat people. read more

Critter Wash - Pet Groomers Near Me

I adopted my first kitty this past November and knew it was time to get her groomed. She is long-haired and would sometimes get stuff stuck in the fur around her bottom. I called Trish and she was able to get me scheduled quickly and easily, she also took the time to walk me through what she was doing as she knew this was my first time. I dropped Chanel off and within a few short hours got the call that she was ready to be picked up. Trish is thorough and professional in every way, and I knew that my baby was being taken care of. Chanel looks and smells amazing, and I will definitely be taking her back here regularly! Thanks Trish! read more

I am beyond grateful for this place ! Every other pet grooming place I called was fully booked and didn't want to assist me with scheduling my 2 kitties then thankfully I found Critter wash and from the minute I called the groomer was able to schedule my 2 kitties right away for the next day ! She was amazing with my kitties !! My kitties are now flea free thanks to this amazing place ! Best grooming place in town from the customer service to the service itself. Thank you Critter Wash ! read more

I have a cat who does NOT like nail trims or baths, but Trish has the touch of an angel! I'm shocked at how well my cat did with her. Will always be going back to her from now on. Highly recommend!! read more

They always do such a great job making my dogs look great! So fluffy and clean! They are never as soft as after they have had a visit to the puppy beauty parlor! Make sure to book your appointments early around the Holidays, since they get booked up quickly that time of year. read more

Critter Wash - Extra and fluffy and soft after their spa day! - Pet Groomers Near Me

Scheduling is straightforward. Drop off and pick is easy and efficient. Trish does a great job with our cat. He's very timid and she's tender with him and all the other animals. Score (the cat) always comes home looking 10 years younger and smelling fresh for weeks! read more

I brought my 2 year old rescue here for his first grooming appointment and they were so good with him. I was unsure of how he does with groomers or how he would act, and he was definitely hard to handle, but they worked with him and suggested tips for future training so he could be more comfortable and relaxed, as well as a better listener next time. They are very friendly and welcoming in there, and he came home the cleanest we've ever seen him! read more

I love Critter Wash! Patricia does a great job grooming our persian cat! We have been customers the last two years and typically come in twice a year for a lion cut or sanitary cuts in the winter. She has always been flexible and professional. She is on Robinson between Floyd and Main and has parking behind the building, which is super helpful if you aren't used to navigating street parking. The shop is smaller but a good size. Call in to make reservations. She typically lets the first call go to voicemail and she returns your call the next day. So be ready to let her know what you want on voicemail I would highly recommend her for cat or small dogs! read more

My standard poodle, Merlot, turned 16 year old this past February. Poodles require regular grooming since their hair grows indeterminately. Merlot loves Trish and loves to visit her, although some of the procedures can't be very pleasant. Nobody else has ever been entrusted with the grooming of my dog. Trish is the best! read more

Trisha is the best! Our big fluffy dogs have never been softer or so meticulously groomed based on their fur and body types. They are always happy to see her, and we couldn't be more pleased. We are so happy to have found her (on a recommendation from another happy dog family) and highly recommend her. read more

I've taken both of my long-haired Himalayan cats here once, and both times my girls have been heavily matted (bad cat mom, I know) but Trish has done a wonderful job at making them comfortable and taking care of them. A bath is also included with the grooming, so beware if your furry friends have an allergy, make sure to check what kind of shampoo she uses, though my cats have been fine with the shampoo. She is also upfront and warns about any additional charges that you may have upon pickup of your animal/baby, which is wonderful! She only accepts cash or check. read more

Honestly the best grooming experience I've ever had. She worked wonders on my German Shepherd! Her prices are spot on too, and she is so nice and accommodating, and she was patient with my pup. We will be going back regularly. read more

First of all, I had called in about my cat being groomed. I explained that I had a short-haired cat that sheds and we have people in the house who are allergic to cats. I wanted to shave the cat to prevent summer shedding on all the furniture, and washing to help with the allergens. When I took the cat in, they refused to shave a shorthair cat. OK, except I wish they had mentioned that on the phone when I made the appointment. The part I really found totally unacceptable was the fact that they trimmed off special plastic caps I have put on the cat's claws. I trim my own cats claws and put on caps to prevent scratching, which works very well. The lady actually trimmed off the tips of the plastic caps, which makes no sense at all. Also, the claws that she did clip, bled and hurt the cat. Ultimately, I didn't get what I wanted out of the appointment except the wash, and she ended up doing more damage than good. read more

I was extremely pleased with Critter Wash. I have taken my West Highland White Terrier to many different places in the past for a wash and groom, and when I recently took him into Critter Wash I have to say that he had the best grooming that he has ever had there. I found the owner/groomer to be very nice and professional, she worked around my work schedule a bit too. She also did a great job on the nails, which is hard since my dog hate his nails to be trimmed. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Have taken my small West Highland Terrier since she we got her to Critter Wash. Owner had been super helpful in giving me hints as to keeping dog clean and groomed in between appointments. She does a fantastic job of grooming our dog and cutting her hair in the traditional cut for Westies. read more

This is my favorite dog grooming service in town, and I have tried several! My golden retriever does not mind going. Trish does a beautiful job with his very furry coat. She also communicates well with when I can pick him up and makes drop off simple. I have tried several other groomers in town. At Critter Wash you always get the same groomer. They also has the best prices for my enormous, furry dog and they make getting him groomed an easy in and out for me. read more

Trish does a lovely job on my German Shepard. She has also done a great job with my cat. I highly recommend Trish

I've had very positive experiences getting my dog groomed at Critter Wash. Also, the owner was able to clean his teeth WITHOUT using any anesthesia. Would recommend this groomer. read more
