My favorite place to bring my pup!…read more I have a doodle and other groomers have never been open to suggestions on what I would like the cut to look like. Joan is great, she does exactly what I ask for and she's so kind too. My dog also tends to get overwhelmed in the presence of lots of other dogs so going here I great. She doesn't have kennels full of dogs waiting so it's quiet and relaxing for my pup.

I can't say enough good things about Joan and TT Grooming - the rates are the best I've found in Madison, she obviously loves dogs and works hard to help them feel safe and comfortable, and she does a great job with every groom. I highly recommend TT Grooming!

Riesling our French Bulldog has never been to another spa and doesn't know how good she has it. An aside, Riesling is trained to use a potty grate system in our home. It sits on the tiled floor in our bathroom. This occasionally causes her confusion when we travel. One day we went to pick her up from the west side location. Riesling had spied an air vent in the floor that looked like a grate. Apparently in need she released a load of molten diarrhea down into their vent. We got an update that it happened but Serenity was otherwise nice about it. How does the saying go? Something something accept the things I cannot change ...

Every time I come in they ask about my pet and if there are any updates. They listen to what I say about my pups and tell me how they were during the process when I pick up.

So far we've had really good experiences with this place. The staff is friendly and seems…read moreknowledgable and passionate. Whenever I've called they are quick to pick up and provide answers. We're working with a local adoption agency to adopt a second dog and the representative said the organization really loves Waggin' Tails, and Waggin' Tales even donates time for the fosters. We boarded our pup here for 5 nights, and when it was all over he seemed pretty normal and not as distressed as I was expecting him to be. He was in the suites. All of his bones/chew toys were gone - meaning they actually gave them to him. Overwhelmed by large groups, they gave him playtime in a small group setting. After this, I noticed his confidence when we went to the dog park had increased. He was much more comfortable approaching dogs and being approached making me think he had a good experience in playtime. He doesn't have any meds or health issues (like many of the negative reviews) - but he does have sensitive skin and his skin was really pink when he left. Next time I'm going to ask them to use our shampoo vs theirs when bathing and see if that makes a difference. I brought him to get temperament tested for large group doggie daycare. They provided useful feedback that he still didn't seem too comfortable - I would rather have the honesty then have them say "it went fine, let's sign him up". They had some other solutions for me - bring him back very early in the day so he can meet them one by one vs all the dogs already being there. Or small group doggie daycare might be the final solution. I appreciate their problem solving and interest in him having a good experience.

Our dogs never liked getting in the car and now if they see their kennel bag, they get so excited. They went from shivering every time in the car to getting so excited.

More than 5 !!!! Have been getting my dogs bichon/ bichon mixes (plus fosters) for over 20 yrs. I…read morehave been extremely happy with Deb's grooming and attention to detail. She always brings attention to possible concerns for me watch ie redness around penis, ear problems etc. She listens to me about health concerns ie hearing/vision, temperament ie possible biting or skittishness, how short or long to cut. I'm currently on 4 dogs needing grooming. Deb suggested I try bringing in two at a time. She followed up a few sessions later to see how it was working & whether or not I wanted to go back to bringing all 4 at once again. A few yrs ago, I had an emergency foster needing grooming. I took to Petsmart East. Worse grooming experience! I now watch through their window and watch the groomers.Not the most patient groomers-watch how they tug the leash or push down on the dogs. I found Deb based on a co-worker's recommendation after a horrible experience with now defunct groomer at Noah's Ark. The groomer shaved so close on muzzle he had razor burns! Hopefully Deb will have recommendation when she retires (which I hope is not in the near future)!!

She really did not want to go…read moreback to the grooming salon so both the front of the house team member and Cece (the groomer) got some treats to coax her back and spoke very sweetly to her. Ultimately, the suggested that I walk back there with her before they got to work. I was so impressed with how much they took my pupper's comfort into account and how the validated her dramatic behavior. Penny came out in an adorable valetines kerchief, smelling soooooo clean! She was a little damp because she did NOT like the dryer so, rather than push her, they did some work with the dryer and some had drying well. Again, putting her comfort first cannot recommend enough!

Love this store! I go here all the time to pick up food and snacks for my pup. The employees are…read morealways nice and the store is always clean. However, I will say that the new Self-Serve Dog Wash isn't practical at all. I was excited to use the new wash area and was left disappointed. A few things to note: - There's no grip for the dog in the bath. My dog was slipping around the whole time and digging his claws into the tile/plaster tub. I wish they put some sort of rubber mat down. - The baths don't have that half wall like a traditional tub. It's more like a counter to put your dog on. It looks really nice and it's easy to get the dogs in but I was left soaking wet since the water was just splashing back at me. Even with the apron on. - The hooks with the slip leads are just too close to the corners of the walls. It left my dog standing and sitting in awkward positions. Maybe they should add a hook towards the middle so there's more options. I used to come all the time to bathe my dog but now I just can't see myself using the new washing area again :/ I will definitely continue to shop their selection of food, treats, and toys though!
