If you looking for Great Dog Groomer - Highly Recommend Stacey!
We finally found our FAVORITE groomer in Smithfield. Stacey groomed Cannoli over a year ago but at a different location in Newport News. Once I knew she worked at D.O.G. D&S, there was no hesitation on my part to drive 45mins to groom them there.
So, you know that uneasy feeling when you drop off your dog, maybe even cross your fingers hoping they look decent when you pick them up. Well, you won't get that feeling here.
Stacey has the golden touch - no choppy haircuts here. I loved watching Cannoli run down the hallway, prancing and smiling looking all nice and pretty when I pick her up. I could tell Cannoli likes her haircut too. Unlike, my other lil puppy, Vino, not so much. He likes looking like a mop head. This is the first time Stacey cut Vino's hair. I wanted a mohawk and I LOVE-LOVE how it turned out (even my husband loved it). Vino looks so handsome! I wanted it blue but he won't sit still for her (and that's thanks to my husband, he loves blowing in his face to play fight with him) I have wanted a Mohawk on Vino for awhile now but I didn't trust anyone except for Stacey. I'm so happy and relieved to have found her again.
Here is my earlier Yelp Review from the first time I went to Stacey (Edited Version):
My Havanese, Cannoli, is very squeamish about going to the groomer. However, this is the very first time she wasn't barking or crouching down when I drop her off or pick her up. She looks so happy and was even playful when I picked her up - that has NEVER happen at a grooming salon. She obviously approves of Stacey.
My biggest regret is not coming here sooner. I went to two other groomers locally and a few more in VB and they weren't the best cuts. I felt so at ease as soon as I walked in. I described the cut I wanted and even brought a picture of the cut. She told me she would be ready in a couple hours, and sure enough less then 2 hours later I got the call. I been to plenty of groomers here and in Chicago and I could say I've never had such faster service; most groomers usually give a big window of 4-6 hours. When I arrived she looked perfect!! The cut didn't look exactly like the picture but Stacey went on to explain how the cut wasn't for a Havenese and she did tailor her cut for Havanese features.

I can't say much about D.O.G. Daycare except the facility looks and smells super clean. We've only been there for grooming services. I've have met the ladies at front desk and both were very polite and friendly. read more
