My Peekapoo Brielle was badly injured. They cut her so bad I had to take her to the vet for stitches. The groomer did text me to tell me what happened and sent pictures, and it didn't look as bad as it actually was. When I got her home and was able to inspect it more clearly I was horrified. 1st thing they did was tell me my dog was matted. Well my dog wasn't - she has curly hair and I have a picture of her before I took her in (smart thing to do before any grooming appointment) which I provided. I also provided them a copy of her vet bill $549.00. Their response in short and to sum it up was : I signed a matting consent form, curly hair is hard to work through and gets tangled tightly close to the skin. When you 1st take your dogs here you have to sign a matting consent form which I did having no thought this would happen. That part is on me and I take responsibility for it. Lesson learned- if you're asked to sign a consent of this type this signals to me multiple injuries or issues have occurred. I was told "We do employ only experienced groomers and our groomers work with extreme care and caution, which is why our injury rate is so low compared to other salons." Anyhow My response was: I  didn't think they understood the extent of the injury. I could understand if it was a little scrape, a little cut or nip but this was well beyond that, so much so she needed stitches. This was not just a nip, this was a deep wound and located on the underbelly in the crease of her back leg where there isn't a lot of fur. Moving on to the professional experience- It was my understanding that Republic of Paws had knowledgeable and experienced groomers. An experienced and knowledge groomer should know how to work with all types of fur just like a hair stylist. More importantly to know when to switch from clippers to scissors. If the groomer questioned an area while grooming Brielle that she thought she couldn't remove fur with the clippers safety, she should have had enough knowledge and experience to know that you stop using clippers and switch to scissors while keeping a protective layer between the dog and the instrument. I used to groom my dogs myself however with my travel schedule becoming busier it was easier just to take them to the groomers. When I groomed them I always had a comb in between the clippers (and scissors) and my dog's body to prevent any injuries or uncomfortableness. That just seems like common sense. Now it's back to me grooming them again and it's my pleasure as their health and safety is my number priority. They didn't cover the vet bill however they did refund my money for the grooming appointment. Bottom line, there is NO EXCUSE for the injury Brielle sustained and I will never come here again.

IF this had been minimal and done with great care, it MIGHT have been OK - I don't know - but when I picked him up, it looked like he'd been trimmed using a lawn mower or garden hedge trimmer. "Uneven" to the point of looking "random" and "ragged.' But ESPECIALLY weird since I'd booked the service she offers known as "Bath, Large Dog, No Hair Cutting." -The hair, btw, wasn't "matted." I brush him EVERY day and what they (being "highly trained, licensed and insured") saw as matting was actually just the result of 5 min., on the 1.2 mile ride from my home to JoAnn's Ruff Cuts, rubbing his ears on the carpet in the back of my Escalade b/c they itched. With ear drops, he was over this in a few days. Highly trained or not, "Fibi", the groomer, had mistook damp hair for matting. This gross error in professional judgement took my Berner from "show quality" to "pet quality." -All Berners must have all fur exactly the same as all other Berners or face disqualification. I can still breed him (with explanation), but I'll never be able to show him. He was just getting over a puppy-hood ear infection, so there was more wax/oil in the fur in that area than usual. -I'd been brushing the "matt" out using a $3.99 Petco slicker, 5 to 10 seconds/ear. Couldn't be easier. They should have either brushed it out as I'd been doing at home, or left it alone b/c it has never grown back and, being so short, is difficult to brush. 2. I've asked JoAnn for a point of contact at her insurance carrier, but no response so far. post script: Also on that disastrous visit, I saw JoAnn, Fibi/Emma stuff him into a wire kennel. Negligently, they closed his front foot firmly, tightly and painfully in a cage so that he made cries of pain - wailing - such as I've never heard from ANY animal. Horrible! When the cries/howling started, none of the staff moved a muscle, causing me to have to rush around the counter & into their work spaces to rescue him as any other Bernese owner would have done. (I believe that animal neglect or abuse like that is chargeable as a misdemeanor under city regulations, but I haven't really looked into it.) In any case, AVOID!
