While waiting for the tags I noted an INCREIBLE sale on fish tanks, so I started asking some questions and getting some answers. This prompted me to shop even more which caused me to spend a hundred bucks more than I intended too and I was happy about that, seriously NO complaints. The staff were super friendly, helpful and informative. the store was busy but clean and organized. I like it, I will return.

I would not recommend this service, the owner is very rude. This business was recommended to me by…read morean acquaintance, and I had an appointment scheduled. I inquired if I could change the appointment time, and the owner texted to inform me how busy she is, and that my appointment was cancelled. I guess this was some sort of 'punishment' for asking a question? I would have been happy to keep the original appointment time, but I wasn't given that option. It was odd from the start; I called and left a voicemail asking to speak with the owner, just to check if she has a non-slip surface my dog can stand on during the grooming. She wouldn't speak with me on the phone, only text. She refused to even address the question I asked in the voicemail. Overall, this was a terrible experience. If I could leave zero stars, I would. I've never seen a professional business operate so poorly, and treat customers with such disrespect. Added after business owner's comment: I would never in my life do any of the behavior the owner mentioned. This is a complete lie. She was frustrated because I asked if it would be ok to change my appointment time, so she cancelled my appointment. It was very rude. I've only left one other review on Yelp for exceptional service with a different business. I only left the review for Julie's business because I was treated so poorly. Also, Julie had the person who originally recommended her contact me through Yelp, trying to convince me to change my review. Just wanted to mention that.

We strongly DO NOT recommend Pine Shadows due to the violence we witnessed towards our dogs when we…read moretoured their facility in August 2024 with our child. I have filed a police report, a complaint with the MN Board of Animal Health, and a complaint with the Humane Investigations team with the Animal Humane Society. The Pine Shadows lead trainer violently punched both of our dogs in the head during 2 separate incidents during our tour. He also choked one of our dogs by using the leash to pull one of our dog's feet off the ground. The lead trainer told us we needed to use the "wooden spoon" approach with our dogs and not "love and logic." As a 5'4" female I can keep our dogs under control using positive strategies when they are jumping and barking with excitement. There was absolutely no reason for the Pine Shadows lead trainer to use violence and one of our dogs was violently punched in the head by the lead trainer when the dog was walking over to sniff our other dog. If you have had similar experiences at Pine Shadows, I strongly recommend that you also file a police report and complaint to the agencies listed above.
