I scheduled a haircut for my 4-month-old puppy. At no point during booking was I told she does not…read moredo haircuts for puppies under 5 months. That was only mentioned once she arrived at my home, after the appointment had already been set. From the beginning of the visit, she seemed annoyed that my puppy was barking and commented that she was "loud." There was no effort to help my puppy feel comfortable or ease her into the grooming process, which is especially important for a young dog's first grooming experience. I also told her that my puppy tends to resist handling and she responded with "too bad". She proceeded to put a neck leash on her and began dragging her when she would not cooperate. I expressed concern about the use of a neck leash and the way she was being pulled, and she responded that my puppy was "fone"and that she "wouldn't strangle herself." Throughout the entire appointment, I was extremely worried about my dog's safety due to the cold, dismissive handling of a very young and anxious puppy. In addition, we were not satisfied with the result. We paid $105, and she did not provide an all over trim which was the entire purpose of booking the appointment. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this groomer. A gentle, patient approach and clear communication about services are essential when working with puppies/animals, and neither was provided here.

Between caregiving, work, and constant travel, my own needs--and my pets'--have had to take a back seat. My poor Cavachon was long overdue for grooming, and after having to cancel yet another appointment with his regular groomer, I found Heather online and reached out on a whim. She responded with genuine kindness and compassion, and even stayed late on a Friday just to fit us in--knowing we wouldn't be regular clients. Not only was she incredibly accommodating, but she also did an amazing job. My pup looked (and smelled!) so much better and clearly felt great afterward. I truly can't say enough about Heather's professionalism, talent, and heart. If you live in the Traverse City area, I highly, highly recommend her!

This place is honestly quite theatrical. I had been bringing my dog here since he was a puppy for…read morehis vaccines and nail trims. On one visit, I picked him up to find his paw bleeding because his nail had been cut past the quick. The only response I received was essentially a "sorry" when they handed him back. Ever since that experience, nail trims have caused him significant anxiety. Because of that, I made it VERY clear in advance of today's appointment that he would need to be sedated for his nail trim. Despite being told this beforehand, they still attempted the nail trim without sedation, causing him even more stress and anxiety. I then received a call saying they would need to try sedation because they didn't want to risk getting him more worked up or their staff getting injured -- which is interesting, considering that is exactly what I told them needed to happen in the first place. I completely understand protecting your staff. What I don't understand is why that same level of caution wasn't extended to my dog, especially when his history and needs were communicated ahead of time. If you don't have the confidence, training, or ability to safely perform a service on an anxious dog, say that before attempting it. Don't put the animal through unnecessary stress and then decide afterward to follow the instructions the owner already gave you. After years of bringing my dog here I am starting to see that this veterinary office DOES NOT take both the safety of its staff and the safety and well-being of its animals seriously.
