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.

I've had a hard time finding a groomer that takes new clients that are older. My vet referred me to Paw Stop and I'm grateful. From the moment we walked in, I knew everything was going to be okay. The place is clean and quiet. It's obvious they take great care to make sure our pups are treated well - exactly what a spa day should be. We opted for the deshedding and light trim. When I picked up Roxy she was calm and looked fantastic! She hasn't looked so pretty in too long to say. Ricardo was so easy to work with. I had to reschedule the appointment once due to thunderstorms. He completely understood. They were ready for Roxy when we arrived and she was ready at exactly the time he said to pick her up. My overall feeling with Ricardo and the team was that they are very kind and truly care. Nothing could have been better. Thank you Paw Stop for taking care of my girl.

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.

Short version: Zero…read morestars is more fitting. Did mobile at the house. Blind old dog. Came back in THIRTY MINUTES, bleeding in multiple spots. Having him put down soon, so gave second chance. Told them it was his last appointment before he is put down. They forgot. Long version: I realize we all have different standards regarding what constitutes as bad, mediocre, good and excellent. I can confidently say 90% of the population will think they are BAD. I had them come to our house to groom my blind 16-year-old Bichon. They took LITERALLY 30 minutes with him. Bichons have different grooming needs, and require much more time and attention. When she rang the bell I thought she had a question; no she was finished already. BEFORE HAND I told her to be mindful of his warts. She did not give one f, he came back with half of his warts bleeding because they quickly and carelessly shaved right over everything. I am putting him down soon, and new to the area. I thought I'd give them a second chance and that perhaps I needed to explain things to them like I would to a 4th grader, and it would be ok. They are supposed to be here at 11 today, so I texted to confirm. It wasn't even on their radar. I know all of our own struggles are our own, but you'd think they'd remember someone in partial tears calling to make their pup's last grooming appointment. She even blathered on about how her son is a vet tech. Then had the finger pointed at me asking if I told them it was an at-home grooming. I said yes, I asked if you still had our address on file. I'm actually happy this happened, my gut told me to find someone new, and I will take ownership over being willing to give them a second chance. I shouldn't have even considered it based off my little man's last experience with them. That part is on me. The rest is on them. If they forget an appointment that is a last appointment ever, made by a person in partial tears who explained the situation, then they CLEARLY do not care about the animals.

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.
