We love KD nail trims! I had tried trimming my dog's nails myself but he is sensitive to the clipper and I don't feel comfortable or competent in being able to do it without error. I had previously taken my dog to a groomer, he would get stressed out walking back and being leashed up on the grooming table, and sometimes try to nip at the groomers which made it a hard experience for both of us and at a lot of places you couldn't get a nail trim without booking an additional service that my dog doesn't need. When we found KD nail trims all of the stress and anxiety around nail appointments subsided! Nail trims take less than 5 mins, my dog is happy and comfortable, and I get to keep him on a regular schedule without having to leave my house. Highly recommend for busy dog parents or those with sensitive pups! read more

Bought a trim package. My dog dies so I go 4 months without a trim. I had 4 trims left on my package. Krista says the trims in my package expire after 6 months so the 4 i have in my balance are no good. Money is money and if you buy a ticket, you can redeem it regardless. She hands out this BS that the packages are like a gift card, not a pre-purchase as it's states in her terms of service. Nowhere are her Terms of service available to read. Out of sight, out of mind, like they don't exist. Then says her lawyers have told her what's she's doing is legit. i can't even find her business registration on line. It's all a ruse! DO NOT USE this woman as she practices terrible business ethics! read more

Update: in response to her comment below about the refund check. I sent her all the information she needed. No response. However, I have received emails for discount nail trims packages. read more

This is a long overdue review for K D Nail Trims. Krista did our dog's nails for years. Not once did we ever receive any paperwork or sign anything. She says our trims expired in 6 months which is absolute hogwash. We would have never have bought a package had we known they expired in 6 months. Our dogs simply have never needed to get their nails cut so often. We had 4 nail trims left onOur package and she would not let us use them. Also she responded addressing me on a review my husband left not me. I would like to add 1/2 the time we would have to leave multiple messages until we got a reply. She could never fit our dog in because she was sick or many other excuses. When she would not honor the remaining nail trims she offered a new package at a "discounted price" which was actually the same price every one else got. I would suggest that people not pay ahead for her services as she is both unreliable and she won't return messages. She also lied quite a few times which we were able to prove by glancing g at her Facebook. I feel like we simply got ripped off by someone who conducted their business very poorly. I would like to add good luck if she ever shows up on time. She was often late or wouldn't show up at all and it was always my fault. This happened multiple times and we never knew if she would be here or not. She would rush in and rush out, not very personable with humans or animals, always in a rush read more

Krista has been cutting my dogs nails for over 5 years. From the scared ones to aggressive ones, they learn to trust her. I trust her, too. What could be easier? With multiple dogs, she makes my life easier. read more

Krista came out today for the first time to do our French bulldogs tails. I have to say in all my life of owning dogs this has been the BEST nail trimming experience ever!! Huberts nails look so good! Hubert had a bad experience once at the vet during covid getting his nails done and he has had a hard time trusting. He had no issues because she comes into your house where he feels safe and did them. Plus he got lots of loving from her. I bought a package now. She had made this such a good experience! Thank you! read more

OH MY GOODNESS-- Godsend! MY sweet, very anxious and scared Rascal gave us all a run for our money for a solid 10 minutes, but she was so patient and open to trying different methods. Once we figured out what worked, she was quick,efficient and so gentle with him. This fur mama is so grateful and already booking my next appointment! read more

Krista is amazing with our special needs dog. No one else can do what she does! She's worked hard to earn his trust and is understanding and patient with his fearful reactions. Krista has been a life saver. If it weren't for her, our dog would never allow anyone to touch him. read more

We always have a great experience with Krista at KD Nail Trims! Krista makes nail trims so easy for my anxious, elderly dog.

Krista does an amazing job with nail trims on our 115lb. Rott/Shepard mix Jaxx. She's professional, patient and gentle with him. He absolutely loves her and falls out for belly rubs every time she shows up to our home. We've taken him to other groomers in the past but he never cared for them and they struggled to get him to sit still. Krista comes in and he knows what to do and lays there to get his nails cut. I highly recommend her services !! read more

We obviously had a misunderstanding of the day I scheduled (I wrote it on my calendar as we spoke!) for krista to come to my home and cut my 2 dogs nails. She showed up at my house and called me. I wasn't home and felt terrible, but told her I could be home within 10 minutes. She assured me it was no big deal, she had another appointment 10 minutes away and would be back the next day at 5:00. I made sure I was home! After she hadn't shown up at 5:30 I called her. She didnt answer and her v.m. was full, so I text her asking if we were still on for that night....no response. I waited til 6 and tried again - no answer, no response! She never responded to my texts or called me to apologize for not showing up or to reschedule. Who would run a business like that??? Do yourself a favor and pass this person up. Very unprofessional!!! read more

So where do I begin . Completely unreliable for appointment times that have been set ahead of time. Repeatedly missed with no call no show . It took me to reach out to find out what happened . And then to be told oh I forgot and set up another appointment only to be missed again . In the meantime I bought a package keep in mind a package and was charged twice!!! The package is for 6 trims and so far was only to get one trim ! Again another no call no show even though I had given her another chance . So now I've asked for all my money back $175 after all the disserve I've been given only to be told I'll be in a federal prison for trying to get my money back thru my bank !!! So I highly do not recommend this business at all unless you want to go thru the same thing I did ! I have been more than accommodating than most people would be. She has failed to render services as promised . read more

I love this service. My dog is no longer stressed out to get her nails done. She is quick and good, and always on time.

Our rescue dog is very anxious if we leave him to get his nails trimmed. Krista's service is incredibly helpful because she comes to your home and makes your pet feel comfortable. She is very responsive & timely with appointments. Thank you!​ read more

Krista did a wonderful job with our dog Luna's nails. She was friendly and personable, and she got the job done quickly while keeping Luna comfortable. I'd definitely recommend her work! read more

Krista with KD Nail Trims does a great job with both our dogs. One is high anxiety and the other is a puppy. She has such a calm demeanor that keeps the dogs calm. read more

Krista has been a godsend!! Our rescue pup has severe anxiety and we can not take him anywhere to get his nails done without it being the vet and spending a fortune. She worked at his pace and got him to the point where he now greets her at the door!! We are so grateful she was recommended to us and will continue to recommend her to others! read more

Krista is amazing at what she does. My fur babies do not do well with people doing their nails. They also don't do well with other dogs. So for her to come to our home where they are comfortable is so convenient. Both of my pups are older and have anxiety but absolutely love her. I can't recommend Krista enough. If you have a pup who is fearful this is absolutely the way to go. read more

Krista is Amazing! We learned about her a couple of years ago when our dog Jax was about 10. He always had a hard time when it came to getting his nails cut, and as he got older it was harder for him so we thought we'd give her a try and it was such a great experience for him! She continued to trim his nails until we had to put him down. When we got our new puppy, we called Krista right away to get her used to getting her nails cout. She's almost 2 now and she loves to see Krista every few weeks. Krista has a busy schedule but she has always gotten back to us within a day or two when we contact her. I can be forgetful at times so I truly appreciate the reminder texts I get when it's getting close to the time to make another appointment. I highly recommend Krista and KD Nail Trims. read more

We used Krista for a couple of years before moving out of state. Our nervous rescue did not need a groomer so avoiding the stressful car ride for a nail trim was wonderful. Krista communicated her arrival times very well and did a great job. I wish I had a Krista in my new town! read more

Very passionate for wanting to help our dogs and cats. Quick at what she does and knows what she is doing. She does great with animals and your animals will fall in love with her. I recommend her and wouldn't think of ever using someone else. read more

Great communication, handles traumatized rescue dogs expertly, friendly and efficient.

Owner replied with "Unfortunately stated in our policies, we do not refund our packages as they are severely discounted" There was no mention of this upon purchase of the package. If it was not disclosed, then the refund should be given. She actually should have refunded it on principle alone, based on all of the inconveniences that she caused to our family. read more

This is the first time I've used KD Nail Trims and the experience was fantastic. My 18 month old lab is huge, stubborn, and high energy. Trimming his nails is even difficult for groomers, who really don't want to groom him. Let's just say, everyone at the pet store knows Dragon and not in a good way. She was patient, guided us to the right positions to hold him down, and was able to trim them despite his aggression. Imagine a highly independent, 100lb pup who doesn't want to sit still or have his nails trimmed, but she did it! She was on time, worked with my schedule the day of, and was really pleasant. She didn't look at him as a pain in the butt like other have, and really understands a lot of dogs just don't do well with nail trims. It was the first time in a long time where someone in the industry didn't make me feel like a complete, utter failure as a pet parent. I highly recommend using her services. She definitely got a repeat client from me. read more

Pros: Krista is great with dogs Comes to your house Brings her own equipment Cons: Doesn't cleanup after herself Prices are expensive, more expensive than anyone else Terrible at communicating schedule issues Always late Website and technology aren't accurate or used friendly We really liked using Krista, she was good with our high stress dog and did a decent job, her nail trims weren't any better than the vet or Petco but were more convenient. The biggest issue is she is always late or she no shows with no contact. She's not great at communicating, and when you get ahold of her she is nice. She can be a bit "I'm doing you a favor" without realizing she needs my business more than I need hers. Would be a great service if she cleaned up after herself, was on time, and more professional in communication. read more

Terrible job. The nails were trimmed in less then 5 minutes and the result was awful. Added to that the onwer is really unprofessional

We have been using Krista to trim our dog Charlie's nails for over a year and she is absolutely incredible. Krista is so kind, patient and caring. Our dog was so scared for anyone to trim her nails and she made it quite an impossible task. Once Krista came into our lives, she gave us the tools to help our dog's confidence grow; and with each visit we saw big improvements! Our dog's attitude towards nail trims has completely changed all thanks to Krista! We couldn't imagine working with anyone else and our dogs love when she comes to our home! Highly recommend! read more

We have a dog aggressive dog and had been looking for a way to get his nails cut without bringing him somewhere with dogs everyone. We tried KD Nail Trims over a year ago and have even working with Krista ever since! Krista is patient with our difficult dog, Pete. She makes sure he has a positive experience with her and offers to give him treats once we are done. Outside of taking care of Pete's nails, Krista is a wealth of knowledge and has talked us through suggestions to keep Pete's allergies under control which have been SO incredible. Their website is incredibly easy to navigate and schedule appointments. I recommend Krista to everyone looking for a way to get their dogs nails cut! read more

Stumbled on info for this business my accident a couple months ago and I took my Nalla. We were done in about 5mins ! She was super quick and very nice read more

I met Krista a couple years back at a Pet Rescue event promoting her business. I decided to reach out on Facebook and she responded a few days later which she indicated that it may take a little bit. She was able to squeeze me in last minute and was so fast and efficient. I have already scheduled my next appointment. read more

The first time we booked an appt with Krista she ran a bit late but that was due to her getting bit by a dog at an earlier appt.! Despite her injury she still came and did our pups nails ! Have had her back again since then and even purchased a dremel package deal recently ~ highly recommended! Tara S. read more

I do not recommend KD Nail Trims at all! She has changed so many appointments and this last time was the last straw. I made an appt on her website and didn't hear anything until 2:30am, the morning of the appt. The appt was declined. I had a package that I bought and now out of a lot of money because I refuse to deal with her anymore. I have seen where she refuses refunds, so I'm not even going to try. I am done with her. This is NO WAY to run a business! read more

Krista is wonderful with my dogs she comes right to my home my dogs are more relaxed. I'm on a monthly schedule she is always on time. Her prices are reasonable, and she even offers discounted packages from time to time. I haven't gone anywhere else for well over a year now. Glad to be a customer of hers hopefully for many more years to come. read more
