I went to the Diamond in the Ruff in Acushnet MA. which seems to have a website that is…read moreDiamondintheruffspa.com? Anyway, I rescued an old poodle mixed dog, and took him there because he was very matted when I got him, and they did a good job. I take the dog bi-weekly to self baths in Fairhaven and waited 3 months to take him back to get his fur trimmed and washed, etc. The experience was just awful! This is what I got: the grooming was done in just over half an hour, they told me the dog was matted, when I know he was not, the dog has curly hair. Because they said he was matted, they shaved him. I picked up the dog and he was stinky. This dog did not smell like anything good. It was obvious to me that the dog wasn't washed, maybe they just passed one of those "dry shampoos" but the dog was stinky, Then he had a cut in his skin, which they didn't notice, and did not put any antibiotic. The icing on the cake was that they DID NOT cut his nails, and my dog developed an allergy because he got a haircut without a wash. Then they charged me 129 dollars! I called several times regarding this service and when I got to talk to people they said that someone would get back to me, I'd call again days later and they would leave a message that the owner would get back to me, but the owner never did. Terrible customer service, they don't care about your dog.

We value the owner's effort to become acquainted with our little dog and his specific needs: after an excessive cut at a corporate chain that affected his undercoat we have been monitoring our dog's fur growth for months.

We feel confident when we take our dog back he will be in the hands of someone who pays close attention and is invested in our dog's well-being. The service was fast and very detailed at the same time. A great balance and difference from the big chains. We highly recommend Peaceful Paws Grooming.

My reason for going was due to my pup's incessant barking at everything. I'm happy to say we're at a 75% better after just 3 weeks. She will now run for a ttreat, return to me and sit and stay. She will turn and spin and come to me on command 100% of the time, nothing I ever expected. Our next training session will be to stop her from pulling on her leash. I am very pleased but prepare yourself for 2 realities....1/ You're not really traing the dog, you're training yourself to practice and be consistent. 2) It's pricey. I would still highly reccommend this service.
