I was surprised because she is a very sweet natured dog. I've never even heard as much as a growl from her. She'd had a bad experience with a previous groomer so I thought perhaps she was just very frightened. This groomer told me she needed a special needs groomer. He charged me $40 for a bath and brush. She is brushed regularly amd had no mats. I took her to Doggo Den a few days ago and they did a wonderful job. I told them about the "biting" complaint and they had no problem with her. They said, like most dogs she didn't like the dryer but never attempted to bite. Either this groomer is in the wrong profession, or something there causes dogs to be extremely anxious.

Rick runs the front and makes scheduling super easy -- just leave a voicemail and he calls back quickly with flexible options. He's always friendly, professional, and on top of everything. The grooming is top-notch: my pup came out with clean ears, neatly trimmed nails, shaped paw hair, and the perfect cut behind the ears, tail feathers, and nether region. They'll even degland if needed. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality of care. I've tried other groomers, but none match the consistency, attention to detail, and care here. My dog always leaves happy, clean, and looking perfect. Highly recommend -- true spa day experience.

She's been amazing with our senior Yorkie, and just as great with the Yorkie puppy we adopted last year. Honestly? The best part about Well Groomed (outside of our superstar groomer) is their policies. Pet parents know all of the emotions and anxiety that can come with these services- Well Groomed (and Emmy) prioritizes the comfort of their animal clients above all else. Our two boys have issues with their nail trims, and I truly appreciate the fact that WGP does not force them past their comfort level. If the boys are uncomfortable, the service isn't completed. That is such a relief to know our pets aren't being pushed past their limits. Big plus: The photo update texts during the appointment. Such a great service! We actually look forward to grooming days thanks to Well Groomed.

The groomer, Katie always has a reason why I should not choose this cut. When I persist, the end result is not anywhere close to the picture. If she is unskilled and unable to produce the result, she should say so. I personally feel it's an unwillingness, as it would require more scissor work. One session absolutely butchered him, and he looked like a rat terrier. Bottom line: You do not get what you ask/pay for, you get whatever she decides. The 1st picture is from another groomer, and what I ask for. 2nd picture is the result of Katie.

Was my Aussie groomed or abused? I brought my sweet, gentle,…read moreminiature Aussie, Bindi to Kelly's Pet Grooming, 6579 Gateway Avenue last week. Her fur was thick and long, but not tangled or matted because she is brushed nightly. I requested a teddy bear cut with a powder puff tail. When I returned to get her I did not even recognize her. She had been totally shaved. She has multiple razor burns on her back and neck, blood oozing from her nipples, several nicks and cuts under her tail area. I can only imagine her terror as the clippers came toward her face. She was also shaved around her eyes and mouth. Why? Why would anyone do this to a dog? She was traumatized. After returning home she just laid on the floor softly moaning. For over two days, she only moved to go outside to relieve herself. I am sure she does not understand why, after devoting herself to us for 11 years, I left her to be treated like that. I will never forgive myself for taking her there, but I hope Bindi will forgive me for doing so.
