Before today this review would easily been 5 stars…read more It has been a week now since the owner of honeydog reached out about my dogs groom. And I received nothing in return. Brought my dog here on March 21st 2023 My dog is an adorable 6 year old Labradoodle whom we've been bring to Honeydog happily for over a year now. Up until now they've done a great job with my dog. But regretfully this past visit was absolutely horrendous. The groomer was Sam that worked on my dog. I told them to leave his hair normal just trim and for a Labradoodle it should not look like a poodle. Not only was the cut a 7 blade super short cut but it was completely botched all over. His tail was cut so short it was only skin in sections making him look like he has a rat tail. His face was uneven. His coat completely different lengths. His butt area was shaved down so far you could see everything on his backside. Not to mention my dog was completely miserable for about 2 weeks since the cut and now that is growing back in a little he seems happier. The excuse I heard from the groomer Sam is that he had dry patches of skin "all over his body". I brought him to the vet and only areas that were a little sore was his posterior due to him rubbing his butt on the ground often. The owner Kerri reached out and made no effort other than trying to cut him shorter which would of been far too much. I feel ripped off. After getting my dog countless grooms over his life this has to be one of the worst cuts he's ever gotten. Friends and family said he looked like a stray dog And instead of having my opinion heard all I felt was excuses of how he has this body wide rash that wasn't even true in the first place. When I expressed my concern I got nothing in response. No I dont want him cut shorter he's already cut way too much. Its unacceptable. I hope they mediate the situation and don't continue giving awful cuts like my dog received. Its not acceptable as a paying customer to be given this type of service. Especially paying over 110 dollars from his groom with tip. I feel absolutely disrespected

Yesterday I took my two stubborn huskies to The Merrimack Doggie Spaw for the first time, I was…read morerefer by a friend to go here because I was in search of a crate free groomer. Kodiak and Maya absolutely hate bath time, we typically only bring them to a groomer in the spring to speed up the grooming process and just bathe them at home the rest of the year when they're just dirty and need baths! So needless to say, they're a bit difficult to handle when it comes to grooming... BUT The Merrimack Doggie Spaw was amazing! My dogs literally look the best I've ever seen them after a grooming, theres virtually no shedding left to be done (which anyone that owns a husky knows how rare that is this time of year)! Dallys was awesome, there were some issues with my dogs acting up (Maya having a melt down in her play pen while Kodiak got a bath and Kodiak trying to escape the bath) and she handled it great! I loved that she didn't lecture me on their behavior like some people have, and recognized that it's due to stress, and came up with a plan on how we'll handle their grooming next time to save one of them from hurting themselves and to make her job easier! So if you want you're dog to look amazing and get exceptional service, definitely book a "spaw" day at The Merrimack Doggie Spaw!

As I said we dropped her off 8:15 they did not even start on her til 4:15, we finally got her at 5:00pm. . This is unacceptable they could have easily called us and told us when they were ready for Roxy but for whatever bad reason they traumatized and old dog.

Prior to sending him to day care at American K-9. At 4 months we brought him to weekly training session for several months with a different trainer. He excelled to say the least, picking up commands with ease. We then decided it was time to get him socialized with other dogs, & much need play time. We choose American K9, boy, do we now regret it! We brought him in for evaluation, we were told he would be placed with adult dogs because of his size. THEY COULD NOT DESCRIBE AN INSIDENT WERE HE WAS AGGRESSIVE TORDS ANOTHER DOG OR A HANDLER! THEY COULD NOT EVEN DESCRIDE A CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER DOG!! We were told he attempt to hump another dog ; needed to be neutered , he was too aggressive needing to work with "their trainer". We were also told we could continue to bring him for day boarding at a cost that is 80% more that day care & offers less; no socialization only two daily walk place & in a pen to play in by himself for exercise. At drop off or pick up the staff would tell how much they loved him, was even sent a video of him playing. We did opt to go through their "training session", thinking our young pup could use more training. We spoke with Pam (their trainer), teller her about our pups previous training, it was as if Pam did not listen to us. Over the course of several weeks Pam only worked with our pup directly for four (4) fifteen (15) sessions going over the same commands he was already familiar with. Pam herself remarked how well our pup was doing . Was even shown a video of how well our pup was doing. The cost of these "training sessions" was more than his previous weekly training session but cover the same material(?). Wanting to keep him acclimated with the staff & facility, we did continue day board until we got pup nurtured. After his surgery, we kept him isolated at home for several weeks for him to recover & to let the hormones work the way out of his system. Prior to his return to American K-9 , we call with our intent & to verify what else was needed. We were told he should be ok. We brought him back for one day of boarding. IN THAT ONE DAY HE CONTRACTED KENNEL COUGH! We kept him home for an addition 4 weeks for him to recuperate & family vacation. Again, we called to make sure what was need for his return. We were told we need a note from his Veteran (?). We spoke to our veterinarian, who was skeptical about it, how ever did provide us with the note. On the day of his return to day care my partner was greeted by Allicin. Who berated her about kennel cough; shock that we had a note from Veterinarian & did not even bother to read it. Two hours later we received call from Allicin saying our pup is not a good fit cause he is "too big". AGAIN, THEY COULD NOT DESCRIBE AN INSIDENT WERE HE WAS AGGRESSIVE TORDS ANOTHER DOG OR A HANDLER! THEY COULD NOT EVEN DESCRIDE A CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER DOG!! Allicin kept repeating he is "too big" & we could no longer place him day care for this reason. Again, we offered their expensive day boarding & training sessions but offered nothing more! American K9 knew the breed of my pup for the start , failing to initial properly assess him & his ability to obey commands.
