I thought I was dealing with professionals. I've been taking my pets to Ruth's for several years…read more My recent visit was really disappointing. I dropped my dogs off for their appointment that I waited for over a month for a bath and nail trimming. When I picked them up it looked liked they didn't have a bath. She actually took a wet wipe to clean my dog behind and told me it was black heads. My older dog sheds usually after a bath frees him from shedding for about a week. Sadly to say my wife rubbed his back and had a hand full of hair. I'm sure that my dogs may not have even had a bath. The groomer admitted they were short on staff I noticed that it was just her and another worker. When I pointed out the issue to the helper he tried to ignore me and act like he didn't see anything. We shame on you if you can't do the job maybe you need to shut your doors until you have a staff that can do the job they are hired to do.

First reason to love them, they didn't use a drying cage. My dog is pretty small and those cages…read moreare too much for her. On two occasions I tried chain stores and said not to use a cage (it takes less than 10m to blow dry her), well they did it anyway and she freaked out and got sick. The groomer we worked with was pleasant and really responsive, she cut her per my specifications. Ruth's isn't overly crowded, her prices are very reasonable. Unlike a lot of large places, a full groom is just that, no adding on ear cleaning charges, or silly fees. The location has easy access to parking, they open early enough for a drop off on the way to work. They also offer a military discount.

I recently took my dog today April 17th for grooming. Her appointment was at 9 AM, and I didn't…read morepick her up until 2 PM, which felt excessively long. This was my second visit. The first time, my dog had a full coat of hair, so I expected it to take longer, and surprisingly they called me about 4 hours later. However, this second time, it was just a bath and a little touch-up, so I didn't expect such a long wait. As a service provider myself, I know how important communication is. Unfortunately, the person I spoke with on the phone was quite rude, which was disappointing. However, when I arrived, the groomer, kaitlin I believe was much nicer and more professional. I was told that puppies were prioritized, which made me feel like my dog's grooming wasn't as important, even though I'm paying for the service as well. Towards the end, I overheard a comment that it doesn't take 3 to 2 hours, which was frustrating since I'm not new to this. Because of how I was treated, I might not be returning. I had finally started again on grooming her prior to me doing it myself . It's unfortunate since I was recommended to this place and live 3 minutes away. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration.

While I have only needed grooming services, I hear and understand that the daycare and boarding are also wonderful! You could not ask for better groomers and front desk staff! They offer other services as well (website on-line, pet-sitting services, vet days, dog training, dog taxi/appt. service, picture days for memories, etc.) While, they are not a vet and cannot give official medical advice; they have helped me on many occasions when I was concerned about my furr-baby(ies)/furriend(s) over the years (ie. yeast infection in the ear, etc.). It saved me an expensive vet trip(s) and put my mind at ease (and they had the product on hand to treat as well). They truly care about and love our/your/their pets and fur-babies/furriends as well! I have personally witnessed and know that they all "love" pets & animals themselves! Understandably, the owner stays very very busy, but will always assist! The owner and staff are ALWAYS friendly and accommodating! A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Sonya, Amy, Christy, Brittany and Robin. Note: If you or your pet gets use to a particular groomer, you can always ask specifically for them, but they ALL do a GREAT job ALWAYS! The front desk staff (Sonya) (& the owner; but again stays sooo busy but will always help) are very knowledgeable and have helped me with matters on numerous occasions (ie. the yeast infection in the ear). MANY of the staff have had vet experience (such as vet techs, etc.). The Fetching Post has your and your pet's best interests at heart always! The Fetching Post, the ladies I mentioned, and ALL of the staff are truly a rare gem! A personal shout out and kudos to the The Fetching Post: THANK YOU! ; ) And I Love YA! : ) Valerie Horton

We have tried everything to change this, but nothing. Anyway, we had plans to travel for 3 weeks over the summer and I was super concerned about boarding him. I spoke to the owners/employees at Adorybull and they seemed very understanding and we planned to only give him people interaction, no other animals near him. I knew or thought this would mean less playtime, but when pictures started rolling in via text, I knew this was a great decision. I have boarded my sweet dog at his vet, and he never looks happy there, but at Adorybull, I was most certain he forgot I existed. They treated him like he was their own. We will be boarding again for a week this spring, and despite the other reviews that I have seen- I have no hesitation. Wonderful people! Thank you for loving my double personality dog!
