The girls at Rejoice are so wonderful - they clearly love dogs and take pride in their work…read more I can be very particular about the way I like my dog's hair to be cut and they never make me feel like I'm being difficult, as I have felt in other pet salons. Instead, they are more than happy to make sure I like the way he looks before I leave the salon. They are even accommodating if I request a bit of a touch-up before leaving. I have recommended Rejoice to my friends as well as everyone I meet at the dog parks I frequent, because I really believe they are the best at what they do. Their prices are in line with other pet salons, but their service and attention to detail far exceeds any previous experiences I've had with other places. For new clients, they take photos of your dog at different stages of the grooming process and post them on Facebook so you can see your beloved pet enjoying his or her "spaw" day. I can't recommend this place enough - if your pet is in need of a new 'do, you can feel comfortable that s/he will come out of Rejoice looking like a movie star.

I paid her $178.50 to groom my Maltese. I told her I was growing her hair long when booking the…read moreappointment and twice before she took the dog into the van, only to have her cut all her fur off to less than an inch all over her body. My dog is a year and a half, and her hair had never been cut ever since she was born, and now it will take years for it to grow back after this. Not only did she cut the fur off, the cut itself was so extremely poor, I've had people ask me if I cut it myself. I posted the post-groom pictures on my Maltese group online, and the consensus was this person is not a "master groomer". Every single leg is cut different, her face is different on either side, there are scissor cuts left in the fur all over her body. She did have a top knot before the groom, and I told the groomer that I like to put it in a ponytail every single day, and she cut it so uneven and short that she herself had to put it into two ponytails because it's almost impossible to have it put into one ponytail with how it's cut. And to be clear, I handed over a dog that had ZERO knots or mats in her fur. I combed through her fur with a metal comb less than an hour before the groomer arrived. Completely devastating when I was so specific. Within minutes of meeting the groomer by her van, she told me that my dog was not a purebred (I have papers), that she had a blocked tear duct, and that her hair would never grow long. I brought her to the vet the next day because of course I was worried if she maybe she did have a blocked tear duct. A $90 veterinarian examination fee and five minutes later to be told her eyes are perfectly fine. And then there another $90 for another groom to have this absolutely terrible cut fixed. What a nightmare. If you're looking for a specific cut, while this person identifies as a "master groomer", the cut she gave she might as well be working at Petsmart, which is where most people thought I brought my dog to have her hair done. So in total, I have paid $358 to have my 5 pound dog trimmed. I also wonder if she is even an actual working groomer now. She showed up in a van that was completely smashed up on the side, and when I looked in her van, it looked more like storage than a place where a dog could be groomed. Never again. So ripped off. The first two pictures are right after the groom in the van, and the last picture is the beautiful dog I handed over to her.

If you have a dog you love to spoil and get some cute clothes, leashes, carriers and more for,…read moreBarking Babies is one of the best dog boutiques ever. Most pet stores in Vancouver, Canada have almost the same brands, toys, treats and food but Barking Babies is very selective and caring that things serve the family well, with a wide gorgeous, selection of some of the best goodies and gear ever for the modern dog. I first came hoping to find a less heavy carrier for my new puppy. Ended up with a nice front/back carrier from Japanese brand Mon Cheri which I love that the store owner helped me choose with expertise and knowledge to recommend what would be a great match for my needs. Not too bulky or heavy. Barking Babies carries a lot of fantastic luxury dog/pet carriers, there are some available to order in store too and they have all kinds of fashionable clothes, shoes, toys, beds, gourmet food and treats for dogs too! When I first came in I was still starting to socialize Soda and now Soda loves the store and gets along great with the 2-3 dogs who help run the store and it has been nice for Soda to visit with them. We have also gotten two beautiful soft rolled faux leather convertible hands free leashes, some Wag Wear rain boots for my dogs, Nono and Soda, a few toys, treats, Woof Dog Food and even a Lafufu plush toy for Soda, and my dogs are obsessed with everything we get from the store from the cute xmas gift snuffle box to her beloved Lafufu and even the Wag Wear shoes. Love going in to find unique and gorgeously vetted wonderful things for my dogs to enjoy and also let them practice socializing. We try to get to the store every chance we can or need if we are in the area and cannot recommend a visit to the best dog store for extra special barking fur babies in Vancouver!

BUYER BEWARE I do not recommend Barking Babies or Nancy, the…read moreowner. I spent over $300 in this store, including approximately $170 on a harness and leash for my dog. Before purchasing, Nancy repeatedly insisted the harness was the correct size and reassured me four or five times that if it didn't fit, I could return it. At no point did she ever say that "return" meant store credit only. Trusting what I was told, I made the purchase. Two days later, I returned with the harness and leash completely unused, with tags and original packaging, because the harness did not fit my dog. Instead of honoring what I had been told, Nancy denied saying it and told me I should have read the receipt because it was "store credit only." The conversation quickly became very uncomfortable. Nancy raised her voice at me and repeatedly said she had rent to pay and that running a business was expensive. As a customer who had simply relied on what I was told before making a purchase, I found that completely inappropriate. There is a huge difference between saying "you can return it" and "you can return it for store credit only." Had I been told the full policy before paying, I would never have spent over $300 there After this happened, I read through the Google reviews and found another customer describing a very similar experience--they also believed they could return an item that didn't fit, only to later discover it was store credit only. Reading that review made me realize my experience wasn't unique.and this is her way of running the business I have no issue with a business having a store credit policy. My issue is with how it was communicated before the sale and how I was treated afterward. There are many other pet boutiques and online retailers with better prices, transparent policies, and customer service that continues after you've paid. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

I was originally a little irritated with this place. Because I had called and called and called and…read morecalled at 10 am to let them know I was on the way just stuck in traffic and wanted to know if I got there would she still be able to have her teeth cleaned. No one answered. The directory was super long and hearing out the options was so time consuming. And the option to speak to the store always rang once then long silence and then ends call automatically. I did manage to get there. And it was 10:30 am. Her appointment was 10-11 am. They agreed to clean her molars which were the ones with tons of sudden build up. But when my dog came out at 11 am the lady Cindy told me she was able to fully clean my dog's teeth because she was such a saint and put up no fuss. yes. She's an absolute princess when it's with strangers. She's stubborn as hell with mommy though. Anyways. For $250 it ain't bad. She went in with build up on her molars that looked like caramel coated popcorn. And came out with white teeth that looked like white strips was used her teeth were clean and white. My dog is 3.5 years old and this was her first dental visit. And she's a bit on the shy side with new people and they handled her so well she wasn't stressed at all when she came out in Cindy's arm. I highly recommend this place for your dog's dental needs. They also offer the full array of grooming services. and I would like to point out for all the reviews on Google that complained the shop did not do as asked for grooming style and technique.... They do what's best for YOUR DOG... AS BEST THAT THEY CAN FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS OF THE OWNER. This shop puts your dog first. So perhaps be appreciative that they don't rip mats from your dog's coat just because you want it done without shaving. Or that you don't like the length of the coat. Even when you go to a hairdresser your hair cut can be a flop. People are human. Dogs are even more unpredictable. They can move or refuse to cooperate. They do their very best based on your dog's behaviour and its needs and your wishes. I witnessed about 7 customers in the time I waited for my dog's teeth cleaning. They clearly go over expectations and their own boundaries that puts pet's comfort and consideration first and foremost.
