For starters all of the animals at this store look very sickly. The conure has been there for 3…read moremonths and very clearly needs veterinary attention. The fish tanks are dirty and some of the beta's are dead and the rest are depressed. The bathrooms are in need of repair- the men's bathroom you can't flush the toilet, there is no soap and they have a stand lamp because the overhead is out. The women's have a stall that the locking mechanism is broken off and barely flushes. The store is also marketing a damaged (to the point it is unusable) everything included 20 gallon aquarium with none of the accessories for the same price as a new 20 gallon aquarium. This store needs an overhaul and should NOT be looking after live animals.

Well-stocked inventory, organized, nice staff, and added bonus of very clean restrooms.read more

She does everything from bathing, grooming, nail clipping, blueberry facials, tear stain removal, paw butter treatments, and even has a DIY option.

Definitely will keep bringing my pup here!

I am so very hurt and disappointed with the grooming services that I received from PBF. This was my…read morefirst time coming in this groomers. I found them online. I dropped my Shichon (Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise mix), Shadow, off for his spring/summer cut. What was returned to me is something that did not even resemble my baby. Although he is brushed daily his hair still gets tangled and matted in some areas, however, not to the point where he deserved to be skinned beyond recognition. The groomer "texted" me to inform me that Shadow had some "extremely matted" areas which needed to be shaved. That is understandable, however, to shave him completely bald all over was nothing more than pure laziness and ridiculousness. The groomer owed it to me to call and discuss which me any extreme deviations outside of what was discussed. Shadow's face was not matted. They could have at least groomed his face cute enough to go with this hideous scalping. Above all, they charged me $40 for detangling and dematting as if they went in phases when clearly they just went straight in with the clippers and cut off all his hair. This first impression will be my last visit.

The owner, Betsy, replied & told me if I wanted to make an appointment, I should call the shop during regular business hours. (I already had, but could never get anyone to answer.) She didn't really seem concerned with gaining new clients. The icing on the cake was when she took it so far as to screenshot our conversation & make a public, defamatory FB post complaining about the 'crap she has to deal with.' If you're looking for a groomer with good communication, keep looking.

You could tell more irl that it was cut a bit and had blood smeared. My dog seemed super happy to be there and walked right in through the dog gate to the back. When I was talking to the woman at the register she said that she (my dog) acted like she knew the drill and walked right into her kennel/cage which is incredible because she hates water or baths and usually tries to make a run for it at least she did when we would take her to Petco. Super friendly and helpful staff and extremely reasonable prices ($110 for an XL? dog: mini groom/teeth brushed and clipped nails included)l. My dog is usually between 105-110 lbs). They did SUCH a good job clipping her nails. Even the vets we've seen in the past can't do a good job and sometimes miss nails altogether. They did a wonderful job. Would come back and skip the belly shave. Parking is a loading zone at the front of the shop. It's "downtown" Raleigh but like on the outskirts so it's not too busy and it isn't difficult to get a parking spot if you go in the morning. Drop off is between 8-10am. I dropped her off at 9 and they finished by around 3 (like 2:45 to be exact haha).

The dogs always seemed well cared for and as calm as you could expect going for a grooming. My family and I moved out of state for a few years and returned in 2023- even though we no longer drive in Smithfield, we drive about 30 mins to bring our 4 dogs (2 are the same. 2 different). In the last 2 weeks, I have had my 13yr old Jack Russell get shaved ($60) and my 2.5yr old Husky mix get a de-shed and "butt fluff" clean up ($100). Both doggos looked and smelled great, and my husky was so comfy it was hard for them to get her to leave lol! I think pricing is great (they haven't even changed pricing on my Jack Russell since 2016)! But more importantly, they seem genuinely kind and caring to the dogs they care for.

We charge based $75/hr mobile rate. We have a $75 minimum for mobile. Several variables affect the amount of time and price such as size, condition of coat, health, age, behavior, temperament or special cut or requests. We try our very best to give an accurate price quote prior to grooming, quoted prices are only estimates. Final price will depend on your pet at that appointment. Prior to your appointment we can quote based on breed and weight without physically seeing your pet but upon arrival a physical inspection of your pet will be done and a good faith estimated price will be provided before starting your pet's groom. Extra charges may apply for pets that are matted and/or difficult to groom, or that take more time than originally quoted. Mobile: We have a shuttle style bus. We will need a somewhat flat place to park and a easy place to turn around! Proof of Rabies Required: As required by state law, all pets must be current on their Rabies vaccination. Please Email or text proof of your pets up to date rabies vaccine. We will not call your vet or track down records at the appointment.
