Flash is a Border Collie - Poodle mix. He is almost 5 years old and weighs about 70 pounds. And his…read morefur needs regular grooming because it grows continuously. Over the years, we have bathed Flash every 2 weeks, brushed him regularly. Initially, we trimmed him at home. We have tried a couple of groomers, but were not satisfied. About 3 months ago, we tried Grooming by Lesa. We were very happy with his first grooming. They have a card they give out - Groomer's Tips: Mats. On the card they recommend a haircut every 6 to 8 weeks. So Flash went back in 8 weeks, and looked great. Recently, I booked a grooming appointment for Thursday, April 16. I was driving over at 8:30 to drop Flash off when Grooming by Lesa called and said they were overbooked and could not do Flash. After a couple of more calls, I was able to get Flash an appointment for Monday, April 20. Yesterday, 6 weeks after his second grooming session, he went back for his third grooming. This time, the grooming was a complete shave back to the skin. It was the first time he has ever been shaved by any groomer. He is a totally different dog. It will grow back. But we will never go back to Grooming by Lesa. Flash was dropped off at 8:30 in the morning. I was hoping to pick him up around 5 pm. At 4:27 pm, I received a text: "Hey this is Grooming by Lesa. I just want to let you know that Flash is really matted on his chest. He needs to go shorts. I need your permission first." I assumed that only his chest would be cut short. So I replied immediately "Okay. When can I pick him up?" The next text came back at 5:57 pm, 90 minutes later. I was already driving over because the groomer hours end at 6:00 pm "Hey you can walk in in about 10 minutes. Just finishing up his sanitary rounding his feet," I arrived at 6 pm and waited another 15 minutes. And Flash came out totally scalped. It was not a proper grooming. His look was totally unbalanced. His chest area was clipped back to his skin. His ears and tail were both a long tangled mess. This was not the first time I have waited long past the original pickup time. We are taking him to our veterinarian to make sure he is not injured. Also, Grooming by Lesa only takes cash payment. No credit cards or checks.

The sound of my dog shrieking was scarey and so was the sight of her left ear which was sliced by the clipper. Owner told me to just put a little flour on it if it bled.

I think it is a shame that a dog groomer is incapable of clipping dog nails. Being that it's "cash…read moreONLY", I wasn't given a receipt, so the lady working the register better remember that my wife had to drive to our home. Gosh, I was curious as to why it was so quick. The dog was "in the back and out so quickly". Now I know why. Take advantage of people. As a human if you had a manicure and the left one uncut, there would definitely be someone walking out. Maybe they had to move and don't take cards. Clipped AND filed. More like a butcher job from a guy that doesn't pay attention. It's one thing to have a huge dog and getting mixed up, it's another to have 4 paws ONLY, and don't even check. I wondered why my dog was chewing on his nails for the past week-they were just done. I wondered why the dog was just ballistic for the past 6 days.

I am a former client. My dog has always looked great after each grooming appointment. Which I would…read moregive 5 stars for. They've granted any grooming requests I've made. The issue I had was my dog being left in a kennel while she wasn't being groomed. Every time i picked her up she would panting, barking, pacing inside the kennel. We do not kennel our dog and never have the entire time we've owned her which has been over 5 years since we rescued her. I have to bring a cup of water when I pick her up which was usually 2-3 hours later. Because I felt like she was extremely hot and thirsty and always drank all the water by the time I arrived home which takes 7 minutes. So if your dog has never been kenneled or has been traumatized from being kenneled due to it's past. I do not recommend this place. If your dog loves to socialize with other dogs and is kennel trained then by all means try it out.

They said they would give it try and they were successful! They have tricks to deal with little quirks and the treats I brought with him didn't hurt the situation. I wouldn't hesitate to bring a special needs or older animal to them for grooming as they took great care in grooming my dog that was previously classified as being too reactive to be groomed while awake. He was very happy when I picked him up and even had a cute little bandana on.

So there's a customer walking around that doesn't even know her dog impregnated the owner of the businesses dog. I would not recommend bringing your dog here if they are unaltered. The place is sooo run down its ridiculous. Owner is trash even though she puts up a good front. They allow people to bathe and dry your dog who have no experience which can lead to serious injuries like an eye popping out due to the force dryer being pointed at the face could also lead to air being blown into your dogs mouth and can cause serious injury. One of the least desirable places I've ever been to. Seriously, what grooming facility allows your dogs to mate and get pregnant?!?! Truly appalling.
