I've been taking our precious little fur girl Callie to Carrie's regularly for a couple of years…read morenow and can't for the life of me figure out why I haven't taken the time yet to write a review. Above all else, anywhere I take my dog has to be patient and caring and love animals. And they must also be at least reasonably competent. You'd think these two things would almost go without saying and be the norm at most grooming shops. Sadly, I've been to more than a few shops (even a few here in Salem) where that's absolutely not the case. Carrie on the other hand is a second generation groomer with literally decades of experience. And I'm quite certain that on most days she'd actually rather be surrounded by dogs than people. She totally knocks the ball out of the park on both the care and competence fronts. My Callie, a still somewhat skittish rescue that's been with us for several years now, is not at all bashful about telling us how she feels about things or people. She does not like most other dogs. Or baths. Or car rides (weird, right?). But when I tell her it's SPA DAY and that she's going to see CARRIE... she actually gets super excited and makes a beeline downstairs and to the car in the garage. That in itself speaks volumes to me about how she's treated at this shop. We've been there for about fifteen or so "Spa Days" now... once about every six weeks. It's always been outstanding and we've yet to have anything but stellar experiences. Her rates are not the cheapest in town but not ridiculous either. And they are very much in keeping with the quality of work that she performs. If you really care about how your dogs are handled and treated in your absence and how they look when you get them back... you really should give this place a try. They are truly outstanding.

l've taken my standard poodle here a few times before where she's been groomed by Dani, and while…read moreshe was there for ridiculous amounts of time each time (5-8 hours), they were lovely grooms. However, after today's experience with Ava we will not be returning. She was there for 5 hours and came home with major clipper burn on her face, neck, and feet. This has never been an issue with any of her groomers in the past. Her paw was also cut pretty badly and led to her bleeding all over my car on the way home. The haircut is terrible, they hacked off MONTHS of growth from her topknot and poms instead of just shaping them like I asked. I'm extremely disappointed and upset.

We've been going here for over a year. Our regular groomer, Miranda, took off for maternity and now…read moremy dog, Maggy, "is too aggressive - it's a safety issue." She wouldn't let them work on one of her paws. She's never let them work on one of her paws. She shows teeth but they've never reported anything more. It's unfortunate and a little disappointing. They do an alright job. It's super convenient but Moon our german shepherd is always really damp when I pick her up and it's a hit or miss with the proper grooming especially around the potty area where if not done properly can create a mess and the hair matted since our last grooming. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked them to please pay more attention to that area when I dropped them off. It's a bit of a mad house but I appreciated them working with us with Maggy's sensitivity to her paw being worked on.
