    Bad nail trim
    Grace C.

    Unfortunately I'm not coming back. I wanted to support a local EC business with the covid situation so we just went for our first time. Maybe it was just the specific groomer (I won't name names bc I don't want to get anyone in trouble) but the person did a poor job. Nicked my dogs skin tag, her nails are jagged (I didn't get grinding but her nails don't look like this after leaving PetSmart) and it's an uneven cut (esp her ears). I had heard they did poodles best (mine is a golden doodle) so I just wanted to give it a try. I will go back to petsmart. I would say maybe I should have just tried a different groomer but it's just too many things that went wrong. I guess she smells nice? I will note I've never had an issue with my dog being difficult at the groomer (she's been to petsmart in two diff states). So I dunno. I know people like this place but so many bad things happened I can't recommend it.

    Vera's is absolutely amazing! This was my first time going there and there were wonderful. They were able to get me in super quick, the facility was so clean and they were so nice & helpful. They even helped me carry the dogs to the car bc I had my two little children with me in addition to my two dogs. They groomed my dogs exactly how I wanted and even called to double check something I described wrong. Will absolutely go back!

    Right after!

    We recently rescued an anxious boy and they were so kind and patient with him. He needed bathed badly and won't use the stairs at my house yet, but they got him clean and fresh and recommended a shampoo for his bad skin. He's a gentle giant, but the clipper noise apparently scared him so much he'd bite at them so she scissor cut my 65 lb giant schnauzer/hound mix. He was so happy and perky after his cut. They did a great job and were so kind and patient. Will be back, and would definitely recommend.

    BEST! I love this dog salon soooo much! Much better than PetSmart or Petco in my personal opinion. First of all, when I was walking into the salon, I love the interior of the place, very modern and clean. Second of all, the two ladies working in the front today were very nice and professional. I love how they did the grooming service on my dog. The lady asked if I have an ok on the grooming with wanting to know if I am okay with what he got and if I am satisfied. He looks amazing and getting compliments left and right today! I will definitely bring my business here and they will never disappoint!

    Been looking for a new grooming place because my previous one seemed like the quality and cut was going down. I arrived to drop off my dog and a lady greeted me and was super friendly. They had a cut chart to choose the length of the cut you want for your dog which was super helpful! They have a lot of add ons which look appealing for future appointments. I got the pick 3 that includes an upgrade of shampoo/conditioner and 2 add-ons. I got the blueberry bliss upgrade with add on of teeth cleaning and cologne spray. The lady asked me how I wanted my dog's face cut as well which was unexpected because most groomers just ask how short I wanted my dog cut and nothing else. It was really refreshing to be asked about the face cut. I mentioned how my dog gets very anxious when put in a cage for long periods of time because she's never been in a cage (she's not dog crated either) and the lady opted to have my dog done first because of her anxiety which was also unexpected but greatly appreciated! When I came to pick my dog, she looked great! Cut was done evenly all over and the face was done really cute. When I asked about her anal expression I had just mentioned in passing that I was never able to do it myself because I didn't know how and she even showed me how to do that! The lady seems like the owner of the salon and she seems to really adore animals. The place is clean, the staff are super friendly, and the quality of service is great! I had a great first impression here and found my new grooming place.

    We have a VERY difficult 15 year old poodle, a rescue who was clearly mistreated for his first 8 years.

My boyfriend took our 1 year old Golden Doodle to Snoopy today for…read morea grooming and I was absolutely astonished when I received a photo that didn't even resemble what he looked like a few hours prior. Our doodles coat was longer than we wanted due to him having a prior leg injury so we had to wait to get him groomed longer than we normally would. That said, my boyfriend requested to go down half in length and to trim his nails. The words "shave him" were never said; however that is exactly what they did. I have never been so disappointed. Not only is he quite literally SHAVED his tail has a poof at the end that we never requested...not sure where that came from. I will NEVER be bringing him back here again. For reference, the one photo is what he looked like before and the other photo is how he came home. I'm sure you can guess which is which.

However, after we returned a second time, hoping to make frequent visits, we were handed back a new animal. We specifically requested to keep his hair length still long/normal overall and just trim specifically notated areas for hygiene and to even the coat. We weren't provided any indication that the haircut may have 'accidentally' resulted in this new undesired length, instead we were just given our unrecognizable baby who depends on regulating his body temperature based on his dual coats... but with any coat left.

When booking online, the system prompts you to enter your card information immediately after selecting an appointment. Typically, this step indicates that a deposit will be processed, but that wasn't clearly communicated at the time of booking. When a team member later called to confirm my appointment, I mentioned that I had already entered my card information during the booking process. There was no follow-up from the team to clarify whether the deposit had been received, and since no additional communication was sent, I reasonably assumed everything was confirmed. However, I received a text message at 5:40 p.m. on 10/10/25 -- about 20 minutes before closing -- stating that my appointment scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on 10/11/25 had been canceled. I immediately called and texted but didn't receive a response until the next morning when the business reopened, at which point the appointment was already canceled. Given that appointments here are often booked weeks, if not months, in advance, it's extremely difficult to pivot or make alternate arrangements on such short notice. The lack of follow-up and the last-minute cancellation were disappointing, especially considering the time and planning it takes to secure a spot. I'm sharing this feedback constructively, as I understand things happen, but clearer communication and more proactive customer service would go a long way toward improving the overall experience.

"12409 Lime Kiln Rd is where I'm at!" Mojo JoJo yelled redundantly. "BUBBLES!!! I have found you, third Powerpuff Girl!" Mojo JoJo laughed. Mojo JoJo paused to reflect, "But why were you so foolish to write your name on the door?" Mojo JoJo reached for the door handle. "Drat! I don't have an appointment, and an appointment I needed!" He glanced at his notes, before calling one of his humans whom he brainwashed with a head of Anubis statue, empowered by rubies he had also procured, to make the call on his behalf. With his appointment having been placed, he waited the requisite amount of time, hiding poorly behind a fence, until he could be "right on time" and knock. "And where are Blossom and Buttercup, your Yorkies?" one of the kind employees asked. Mojo JoJo grinned malevolently. The human he had transformed into a dog had remembered the names of his other two archenemies. "I knew it! She was foolish enough to write her name on the facade. Unwise even, I say." He then looked inside and begged their pardon for a moment as he turned to one of the dogs who had just luxuriated in a warm bath with, much to his chagrin, no longer extant bubbles. "Where is Bubbles? I am losing my patience! My patience is ebbing! One might even say waning!" At that point, several of Barks 'N Bubbles's canine clients began to bark in wonder at the oddly-dressed and Machiavellian-sounding chimpanzee; and Mojo JoJo lowered his head and realized he had been had. He saw how happy the dogs looked, dressed in their Halloween-themed bandanas, and how excited they were to be safely reunited with their owners and to be encouraged to pick out a squeaky Halloween-themed toy, and he paused magnanimously. "May I make an appointment for myself? An appointment I would very much like to make!" The Powerpuff girls would have to wait, and so too would the city of Townsville!
