Our little dog always looked great after visiting Monica at Fuzzy Friends. We'd bring him in the AM and pick him up in the early PM. It was a popular place as reservations were a week out. It shows how loyal the customers are. We have nothing but good things to say as it was safe, loving, clean and 'our spot' to cut Rundig's hair every 6-8 weeks. We highly recommend. read more

Fuzzy Friends - Little Rundig after a haircut at Fuzzy Friends - Pet Groomers Near Me - Renton, Washington

This message is for everyone that's thinking of bringing your animal here. This past January we brought our beloved Tasha here to get her monthly grooming. Monica has been grooming her since she's been a baby and never had a problem until this last time. When we picked her up, we noticed she wasn't breathing correctly. Later that night I called left a message asking if something happened to her. They never called me back. Ended up taking her to the veterinary hospital to find out her throat was compromised while getting groomed. The vet said they see this a lot when people take there dogs to the groomers We ended up having to send our little girl to heave way way to early So this is a WARNING to everyone that's thinking of bringing your animals here. Your pet might be next!!!!! The only time we got a call was when I posted my last comment a month later. I ended up closing down my old account. So I'm reposting what happed for all to hear FYI- Monica's husband has a bad temper! Read all of his nasty comments back to peoples complaints on Yelp. He's the one to watch out for when you take your pets here!!!! Just saying, people with bad tempers shouldn't be commenting back to anyone's posts especially when they're not the owner or the operator of the grooming shop. He's not there everyday with Monica! Jerk read more

The owner of the establishment is extremely disrespectful and quite disappointing in her services and her customer service mentality. I had a terrible experience at this business and will never return to a environment like this. read more

We have used this place several times but won't be back again. We took our corgi in today and asked for a trim similar to last time, which meant trim the feathers on his feet and back end. He came home totally shaved! Who does that to a corgi? It will be a long winter with no fur! read more

Fuzzy Friends is near my house so I thought I would give it a try. The results were not to pleasing despite all the positive yelp review. The haircut was choppy but I didn't really care since it's just hair and in a few weeks time, it'll grow to look more natural. His coat was soft and it smelled good so I was happy about that. She explained that it was a bit hard to do his nails and that she did the best she could, which.. Okay.. I guess I understand. The price was not all that great. My Pomeranian who is ten pound with a mane of hair can get fully groomed for sixty dollars while my three pound thin haired Yorkie is fifty dollars at Fuzzy Friends. Obviously, there are better deals out there. The most outrageous thing of all, that really had me upset was that they CUT MY BABY!! When I got him home, I noticed that he was constantly licking his inner thigh so I took a look and there's a red angry cut! The groomers didn't even say anything to me about it! It's understandable that accidents happen.. But he must've yelped or jerked away when he was being nicked by the scissors so they had to have known they cut him. They could've said something when I picked him up but I had to find out about it when I got home. If they would've notified me about it and apologize, I wouldn't be this angry. Accidents happen, own up to it! He's my baby, I would like to know that he's hurt so I can provide care to avoid an infection. However, I got nothing. How outrageous.. Definitely not going to be a returning costumer and I wouldn't recommend anyone else come here either. read more

Fuzzy Friends - They cut my dog's inner thigh and didn't even tell me about it when I picked him up. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Renton, Washington

I love this place. Monica recognizes my voice when I call, knows me and my dogs by name, and treats our dogs well. They also come back dapper af every time. I feel for those who have had difficult experiences here, but I've had great experiences every time. Even our neurotic little terrier/chihuahua mix (wife's dog) seems at ease there. One time there was even some sort of dog photo shoot, and Monica gave us some hilarious pics of our dogs. I feel like Monica has the right job, because she loves dogs and is amazing with them. read more

We have patronized this business three times now. We have been pretty happy going here. Both dogs were groomed and nails cut to our satisfaction. I did notice all the dogs waiting to be groomed or picked up, were congregated together. I guess in theory they're supposed to play with one another? read more

We love this place, been going to them for 9 years. We did try other places closer to home in West Seattle, but my dog doesn't like the other places. This is the best for us. read more

Monika is wonderful! I have a chihuahua who doesn't typically play nice with others. He tends to get aggressive with people he doesn't know. Monika is great with handling dogs. She is extremely educated on how to handle our furry babies Bruno did great. When picked up my dogs up both were roaming free socializing with the other dogs. I was shocked! Bruno has never done so good. I highly recommend furry friends. read more

She did a great job and is was my first time, I'll definitely come back. The fro on top of my dog was a bit much, but it's okay I will trim it and it will be fine. Next time I'll make a suggestion and she will definitely have my 4 stars really soon! Also she is very nice and good with dogs, overall the haircut was perfect!! No complaints there!! read more

I love this place! My dog Summit has been going to see Monica for the last 6 months for doggy day care. They care so much about my baby and she adores seeing all of her playmates. There are some days when Summit pounces on the door and tries to push it open just so she can greet Monica quicker. The only experience I have with grooming is that she has her toes trimmed and ground down every month. Every time she looks great and is never fearful to come back, that to me, is the sign of a great groomer. I tell everyone I know that I love Fuzzy Friends and they take exceptional care of Summit. I would recommend this place to anyone with an enthusiastic thumbs up! read more

NEVER take your animals here!!!! I dropped my dog off at 8am! There were at least 15 other dogs crammed into this small space and all were barking like mad when we walked in. There was one dog climbing onto her desk chair and barking. It also smelled really awful and everything just looked dirty. But I ignored all this because there were mostly good reviews online. The owner was very nice and told me she would call me when my dog was done. I received a call around 1030 asking me if I could pick up my dog at 3pm! I couldn't believe it. She had obviously over booked. I said no because I had an appointment at 3 so she said ok and my dog would be done at 1. I picked my dog up at 1 and he had never been happier to see me. First I noticed my dog was the only one in a kennel-- the owner said because he seemed nervous-- I also noticed the haircut was a little shorter than I wanted but it wasn't a big deal even thought I showed her multiple photos of how I wanted the length. I paid and tipped her over 20%. When I got home I realized my dogs haircut was uneven almost everywhere--she had obviously rushed through it. What is worse however and the REAL reason I'm writing this review is that where my dogs testicles used to be (he is neutered) was shaved down to the skin and bright pink. Posted is a picture 2 whole weeks later!!!!!!!! Still red and irritated and even blistered!!! I am never going back and am writing this in hopes to save someone else from this awful experience of seeing your dog in pain and uncomfortable from something completely avoidable!! read more

My fiance brought our dog in to get her nails trimmed. They were quick to pick up the phone and available same day, which was great. Price was reasonable. Three stars since we think they were going too fast and they clipped her nails a bit too short. My dog was bleeding after :( read more

Have used Fuzzy Friends a few times now for our verrry timid/scared/shy Aussiedoodle and Monica has been able to groom her very well each time. There is a reason she stays booked! Will be back and would highly recommend! read more

My dog absolutely loves it here!! this is the only doggy day care place that gave my dog as much love as me! Pricing is great too! 100% recommend!! read more

Took my Pharaoh Hound there for a long overdue bath and nail trim. He came out smelling good and happy. At least $20 cheaper then I expected and way close to home then where I had been taking him. read more

Brought my puppy to get groomed here for the first time and my puppy is pretty happy! I called and Monika was able to fit me in same day due to a cancellation. When we got there she seemed pretty nice and asked me a lot of questions to ensure she would groom Bentley the way we wanted. After about 3 hours we went to pick Bentley up and he seemed really happy. He looked clean, smelled great and finally we found someone who cut his nails short! She also asked if there was anything we were unhappy about and she would be happy to fix it. It really shows her passion to ensure her customers leave happy- I will definitely be bringing Bentley back. read more

I just went and took our new puppy ginger to monica i was very pleased Ginger was kinda a mess and i couldnt get her hair cleaned up or unmatted.. Monica did a quick job maybe 2 hours - max (ginger is only 4 months old) But i was wowed when i saw her.. yes monica is busy so book a few days out ahead.. But was i happy (yea i was).. it was worth it and ginger is happy too i think she lost 2 pounds of hair.. oh and i need to add the only reason i didnt give her 5 stars mostly was ginger was squirming so much she couldnt do her neck as well as i wished but that wasnt monicas fault - just ginger being a puppy.. so i would say yes my doggie came back better for the experience.. i would go there again and most likely will.. read more

Best haircut my Maltipoo and Lhasa Apso have ever had. They looked their absolute cutest when we picked them up! Monika is wonderful with dogs. Loving yet very confident, and so understanding. Prices are very reasonable. I recommend Fuzzy Friends highly. read more

The lady at the front was completely rude.. She seemed confused and annoyed that we came here with our dog. We asked if we could get our dog a haircut, and all she yelled was NO. When we asked why, she said she was completely booked, and she said it in the most rude way possible. If theres one thing I hate in this world, its rude and distrespectful people. read more

I totally love my dog (Senshi Ryu - Red Shiba Inu), He is the best little dog and will let you know when he is scare or doesn't like going somewhere (mainly the vet), we've been going to fuzzy friends ever since we moved down to Renton totally love it. He always gets so excited when he we get close to the groomers, he always knows it's play time. The owner is super nice, if your dog is well behaved she will let them run around in the back and play with the other dog while and after there spa day. She also will give your dog a special little doggie treat if you let her, my dog will not go until he gets his treat, if she takes to long he start to Bark so as to let her know he is waiting for his treat..hahaha. we totally love this place, and recommend her to anyone looking for the best groomer in Renton. read more

I took my medium hair dachshund in 3 months ago in February of this year and yes, the owner was quite a pleasant and fun lady. I brought her in for grooming and to get her nails trimmed. When I picked up my lil girl, she looked like a cute lil puppy! Her brown coat was faded looking being bc of whatever perfumed powder she put on which I thought made her smell great! I was so happy and proud, couldn't stop praising the owner how good her grooming looked and even tipped her! I thought it was weird how when she kept jumping on me her nails were scratching my legs bc it never hurt before and it actually hurts! I was wearing jeans too! I asked her why that was the case she was like oh.. it'll smooth out so i thought nothing of it! HOWEVER... upon closer inspection after bringing her home 10 mins later... I noticed that despite her grooming being even and well-done on the top and sides.. pretty much what the eye first sees... all her four legs and her whole bottom side was all butchered and uneven. It was totally an eye-sore and very disappointing. You can see the patterns of the shaver she used on 3 of her legs, some parts were almost bald, just like other parts of the bottom side of her belly. I also noticed she was walking kind of funny on my parent's hardwood floor. I picked her up and inspected her toe nails and I felt like crying for my poor lil dog. I couldn't imagine what pain she was in and probably still is in (I'll get to this point in a bit). I am not exaggerating when I said ALL her toe nails were cracked and brittle and cut way too deep. It looked liked she did it in a haste and was so careless and thoughtless of the pain she was causing my dog! Some toe nails were so brittle I was scared to clip it off bc it cracked almost to the root! When I was touching her toe nails she didn't want me to and wimpered or flinched depending on which toe nail I was inspecting! I found a nice nail filer from the body shop my parents had tried to gently file her toe nails to make it less sharp but she kept trying to pull away. She eventually just layed there but she was crying... :( Her eyes were watery and red but she was a good girl. The perfume on her coat was nice and all but it took a couple weeks for the strong smell to go away and for her coat to return to its original nice shiny, brown, soft coat... not sure what kind of shampoo she use but it made her usually fluffly soft hair, coarse and the perfume powder she used really made her beautiful brown coat dull. 3 months later, today, I ordered a nail buffer to do her nails myself... yes that's how long it took for most of her toe nails to grow when it actually grows quite fast and shouldn't take 3 months! Her nails are STILL quite brittle and sharp... some parts are peeling and I am so upset and mad at myself for taking her here! She still isn't quite trusting of me touching her toe nails esp her front two.. but she is slowly giving in as I would gently carass her toe nails and praise her but when she started to pull back I'd stop. This is why I decided I should do a review and let others know that she is understaff and taking in too many dogs! She had at least 15 dogs all big and small when I dropped my dog off and the place isn't that big and she was by herself! PLEASE don't take your dog here.. maybe if it was a doggie daycare for a few hours it'll be okay bc the price is unbeatable.. other than that.. DON'T! read more

She always cuts my pups hair flawlessly! Even adds a boy and bandana on my dogs. She's super sweet, my dogs love her! Its a good price for everything! read more

Love taking my dogs to Monica! I have a chihuahua, yorkie and a pom, she does a great job with the cuts and has them smelling good after. I also LOVE how she accommodates my dogs whenever I need them to get groomed last minute. read more

We took our large dog in for a bath. They were very friendly there. We were happy with our experience and they did a nice job bathing our dog. The shop was an older building, but the inside was clean. Why 4 stars instead of 5, I was told a price when I called in, when my significant other picked up our dog the price was $5.00 higher. We will go back. read more

Monika is honest, fair, and helpful. I'm so glad I found her and ultimately decided to give her a try due to the positive Yelp reviews. She's great with our black little Shiz-tsu and helped us get rid of her flea problem! She also recommended what we should do for flea-control since I've never had that problem in the past. She's busy because she takes pride in her work, takes her time with the dogs, and her clients come back. read more

Monica is very kind and often gives me or my partner a short report on how our canine daughter, Sadie, did during the day. Sadie almost always comes home quite exhausted thanks to all the fun she had. Highly recommend! read more

I took my shihtzu Charlie to Fuzzy Friends for the first time yesterday. Monica, the owner, was welcoming and happy to meet Charlie. The building was clean- pups were here and there- happy environment! Very organized and she was patient with my dog- knowing he couldn't stand the whole time due to back issues. Charlie got the best cut I've ever seen- truly a lamb's cut. I've been to other places in Renton- and Fuzzy Friends us by far the best!! Thank you so much Monica! read more

Monica is amazing with my dogs - my little Pomeranian is usually more cautious and wary of strangers and he doesn't let anyone except me pick him up but for some reason he let her handle him and everything... He even gave her kisses lol!also I noticed that she lets dogs roam around in the back if they're not aggressive and well behaved, which is always a plus, and they all looked so happy and comfortable. Anyways my dogs look amazing and so adorable!! When I picked them up, instead of looking anxious and stressed out like they would when I picked them up from other places, they were just happy to see me, as if I was picking them up from daycare, haha and also they weren't dehydrated or anything, so she probably took really good care of them and made them as comfortable as she could. But she did waive the price for my Shiba Inu because her bather overbrushed his thick coat and caused some irritation, which is why I knocked off one star but she taught me how to take care of it and it doesn't seem like it bothers him all that much. She even gave them Valentine's Day themed bandanas :) Keep in mind that if you decide to come on Saturday, she closes at 3:30! read more

Oh my... I trust my Giant Schnauzer to Monica because she is the best. Hands down she knows how to clip the GS head and loves on him so much. Some groomers are not half as nice to dogs but Monica has such a sweet heart with him. He is 12 years old and I can tell when he has been stressed out and when he has been cared for. With her I see him happy and bouncing like a puppy after cuts and baths. We have lived in San Francisco (not nice groomers but know how to cut) and Reno with kind groomers but give him a Bouviers head cut(not the correct lines). This is the only place I will ever take my dogs to be groomed. Trusting you pet will be taken care of is priceless! read more

This place is amazing. The owner is ALWAYS there, willing to work with just about any of your needs, and all of the dogs always seem super happy and playful. We have a weiner dog who HATES getting his nails clipped, and somehow she manages to grind those suckers down. She works miracles! read more

Be careful. We have the sweetest 4 year old Tri colored Aussie. She gets groomed every 6 weeks since she was 1 year old and all the groomers love her. We seem to find a great groomer and then they leave. Some one recommended Fuzzy Friends. She is a long hair so my wife said just to trim here up a little and clean up the back end. My wife shows up and was shocked to the point of crying as they shaved her to 3/8 shave. So many places were missed with long hair hanging down. When she got home she was acting scared and very nervous. She keeps licking her private area and it seems they shaved her super close. It has been 4 days now and she is still very nervous and jumpy. This is unacceptable she is a happy dog who seems to have been traumatized. This is a start by getting people to understand something is wrong at this place. If this continues I will take her to the vet and go from there. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH YOUR PET AND FAMILY MEMBER. read more

When we moved to the area, I was worried about finding a new grooming/day care place that my dog Harry would like. We tried Fuzzy Friends, and he LOVES it. He gets excited when we pull up, and can't wait to go in and see Monica and all the other doggies. Monica is an amazing "doggy mommy" -- she is a great groomer, and I really appreciate that she lets Harry stay to play for a bit when I can't leave work right when he is done grooming. We've started "play dates" for Harry as well, and there are times when we pick him up that he isn't quite sure if he's ready to come home or it he really needs to play some more. Highly recommend them. read more

While it was certainly affordable I was less than impressed with the actual place. It was shabby and smelled unpleasant. I just took my dogs to get they're nails clipped but I would never leave them to be boarded there. Probably not going back. read more

Monika is WONDERFUL! I am so happy and relieved we were pointed to Monika and her business, Fuzzy Friends. Not only is she one of the friendliest people you will ever meet, she is noticeably passionate about the services she provides to her clients. And what a TREAT to not get scolded or be given the industry's pervasive disapproving look when my dog played hard in the forest, then decided to take a dip in the lake--bolstering the accumulated woodland undergrowth into his coat. She understands that while our dogs are cute (THE cutest, I might add), we are not trying to maintain show dogs--we just like to let our boys romp and play, and we are happy to request a very short cut on occasion that will allow our family to enjoy our time outside together. read more

A veterinary found and treated several cut on my puppy after being groomed at Fuzzy Friends. The owner refused any reimbursement for vet cost saying she tells her customers when she nicks a dog and my dog was not nicked. Yet told me I should have taken the dog to her vet. This is not a safe place for people or their friends. read more

AWFUL! DON'T TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. I called this place this morning to see about having my dog Nalah's nails clipped and possibly daycare for a day when our usual person is out of town. The woman I spoke to asked me what type of dog I have and when I told her I have a Cane Corso she told me it was too big of a dog. So I asked her what the weight limits are and then she said Pit Bulls and German Shepherds are too big of dogs so again I asked for weight limit because Nalah is still a puppy and not full grown. Then she said she doesn't accept AGGRESSIVE dogs. So I said great I don't have an aggressive dog. So finally she tells me that she does not accept dogs 'that she perceives' are an aggressive breed. Any business that is dog-centered should do their research and would know that these are misconceptions and born out of people ignorantly reading fear mongering headlines. Anyone you entrust your dog to should be looking at individual dog behavior and if they aren't then I would not consider that a safe place to take your dog. No daycare should accept aggressive dogs, but Fuzzy Friends has apparently picked at least 3 breeds they assume will be aggressive (Cane Corso, Pit bull and German Shepherd). There is zero evidence that breed discrimination keeps the public safer and our dog has gone to three different day cares and I have never received this kind of reaction. read more
