    I would give 0 starts if had that option. Ok so going to try to keep this as short as possible. I dropped my puppy off yesterday at noon to get groomed at THE LITTLE DOG HOUSE IN HARRISVILLE. I will not name names but the Individual at the front desk questioned me about how short I wanted to cut it. Anyway 4 hours later my husband called to get the status to see if they were close to getting done with our puppy. Same individual laid into my husband yelled at him and told him maybe 30 45 more min but he didn't know. So we waited for the call he was done. This came in at 4:45. Well we live in hooper they are located in Harrisville takes about .5 hour to get there with no traffic but being it was 4:45 there was traffic so we headed out as soon as they called. My husband got a call while we were on the freeway I could hear him yelling at my husband to get there now. Husband said we are on our way. Not even 5 min later he called me yelling at me to come get my dog NOW. I told him again we were maybe 5 min out if that. HE YELLED AT ME THREATENED TO BOARD MY DOG FOR THE NIGHT. Told him I was calling police. So we get there my husband went in to get our dog. Said individual threatened to call the police because my husband was trespassing after hours because they closed at 5 and we got there about 5:20. He told him to go ahead that I was already on the phone with the police. He brought our puppy out nicely then threw the leash and our card at my husband after pd. We waited until the police got there and while waiting he was storming in and out of the building slamming the doors and yelling at us. My 12 year old daughter was in the back seat sobbing. She was terrified. He was acting completely irratic and unstable. We said we were sorry you close at 5 but we needed time to get there. Police made sure we got our pup and made a comment on how horrible the cut looked after having him for 5 hours. The individual would not come out of the shop while the police were there. Called manager/owner this morning. Tried to tell him what happened. He hung up on me because he was busy. So my husband called and got our money back and owner/mgr said he would talk to the irrational individual we dealt with and the 2 groomers that were still there. This individual seamed to be unstable and I would hate for anyone to have this experience or get hurt because of his anger. IN SHORT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE LITTLE DOG HOUSE TO MY WORST ENEMY FOR ANY DOG NEEDS. HORRIBLE COMPANY AND THIS IS THE CUT WE GOT SUPER CHOPPY AND SLOPPY. I have had other family members quit using them for any source of dog needs. For this exact same reason.

    My poor babies burnt rear end after asking for a sanitary rear trim.

    This was the second time taking my aussie-pom here to have him bathed and the works. Well dont ask for the rear sanitary trim because apparently they have no idea the proper technique. My poor little boy came home with a 2 inch diameter of bald burnt rear end. The poor boy couldn't sleep, he can't sit, and his ass is on fire. I called management to complain and he basically told me he was using dull blades. You can sharpen said blades and any true professional that cares about animals would never hurt them like that and then not take any blame or offer a refund. I have heard this story from several others and it's time to shut this place down for making money off our fur babies but not giving a shit about their wellbeing. I will never go there again and every person I come in contact with will be warned of their neglect and abuse.

    Razor cut

    Horrible groomers lazy and abusive to dogs, left razor burn and even cuts because had to use a razor the whole time and couldn't slow down to be careful.

    (The pups back)

    Absolutely worst place to take your dog to. We had taken our 2 dogs there since they were pups. However lately it's been horrible. They gave us THE WRONG DOG!! This time we taken the newest pup there for the 1st time and she was shaved down to the skin (which we did not ask for) down the middle of her back. Nothing else was trimmed. And gave her back to us.

    There's this one

    we love Mandy's! They do a great job with both my dog and cat. They always look clean and cute…read morewhen I pick them up

    I'm really disappointed with my experience here. On multiple occasions, the wrong service was done…read moreon my dog even though I clearly communicated what I wanted. While I understand that mistakes can happen, it became frustrating that it occurred more than once. I will say that when the correct service is done, the grooming itself is usually decent, it has just been difficult getting the correct service performed. Toward the end, they did acknowledge the situation, but it felt more focused on what I could have done differently rather than fully taking responsibility. I did want the bath and nail trim, but the most important service I requested was the shave. Unfortunately, the shave was not done. At checkout, I was initially told the total would be around $100 for the bath even though the main service I requested was not completed. I ultimately paid $66 for services that were not what I had asked for. When my dog was brought back to me, I was told he had been shaved to 5/8, which he clearly was not. After reviewing the groomer's notes, I was told he had received a contour and butt trim services I had declined at the beginning when they were offered. I had specifically asked for the same shave he received during his previous visit. I do acknowledge there may have been some miscommunication at the front desk, and I understand that mistakes happen. However, when it happens more than once, it becomes difficult to overlook. I also felt uncomfortable bringing my dog back to have it corrected because I worried I might be viewed as a difficult customer, and I never want to feel concerned about how that could affect how my dog is treated. Customer service and clear communication are extremely important when trusting someone with your pet. After reading some of the owner's responses to other Google reviews, the replies came across as unprofessional and poorly written. While I understand wanting to defend your business, the tone of those responses was disappointing. After giving several chances, I unfortunately don't feel comfortable bringing my dog back. I hope the facility works on improving customer service, as it is one of the most important aspects of running a business.

    It was my first time boarding my new pup, but the process with ruffledale was pretty great. We had…read moreto drop him off for a free two hour behavior assessment before he could be boarded. They were also very strict with all vaccinations. I forgot to send my husband with some of the copies and we had to quickly get them emailed over before they would let him enter - which is great! My dog passed his assessment and stayed here for seven days over Thanksgiving. The price was fair and when we picked him they gave us a little treat bag and report card. My dog seemed to love it and he was always chilling in the middle of the pack when they would post anything on Instagram. Downfalls: despite strict vaccination requirements my dog still got kennel cough. He recovered quickly and it wasn't anything severe, but still a bummer. He also had one or two scratches on him. I'd imagine he was playing rough and it wasnt anything serious since his report card was all positive, but it's still something I'll watch out for if he goes back.

    Upon arrival, we had a very positive experience. The facility was very clean and the front staff,…read morealong with Amber, was very attentive. The technician was kind to our pet, but I was surprised that no one initially checked our pet's temperature or assessed his condition based on his symptoms; we had to remind the staff to do so before we left. Dr. C made a poor initial impression with his curt demeanor. He seemed short and almost dismissive of our pet's situation. For instance, he did not introduce himself when he came in and after a brief greeting, he pointed to the table for our dog and began his assessment without allowing us to provide input. He was halfway out the door before he finally asked if we had any questions. However, It came off as more of a formality versus actually caring if we had any questions and addressing them. The initial interaction, lasting less than two minutes, felt rushed and impersonal, reflecting poor bedside manner. However, Dr. C significantly redeemed himself when he returned with the medications and was very polite and more attentive. Additionally, a gentleman named Alex was extremely kind and helpful, answering many of my questions and putting my mind at ease in the reception lobby. Overall, our experience mostly positive and if I had to point out any areas of improvement , it would be the overall bedside manners that the doctor provided with patients. With that being said, I would return.

    ZERO STARS!!! The negligence of the groomer in this place KILLED my dog MAX. The groomer did not…read moresecure him and let him into food she kept there for her own dogs. He gorged on it, he had allergic bloated within hours and suffered a stomach torsion. She lied to hide her negligence when I ran to her frantic to get the details of the food he ate while he was there. Told me what she fed her dogs but that she never had any on the premisses.. kept lying when I went to Smiths and bought a bag of what she said she fed her dogs (Beneful) and proved he ate the same stuff. Kept lying when I went back a third time (while my boy was fighting for his life at the ER) and presented her with her dry food and a bag of the 'evidence' my boy vomited undigested. I have no words for how devastating this was for my family and mostly Max. My baby suffered agony and because of the time she wasted lying to me and my vet to save her own ass... my dog ran out of time. As a consequence Max had be put to sleep 12 hours after collecting him from his "groom'. Thank god my other 2 dogs she had that day were unharmed. I will NEVER get over the trauma leaving him there and paying and tipping that woman to essentially end his life in 2017 at the age of 7. Adding insult to injury I received a phone call from them recently offering me a discount grooming package for my dead dog. I explained why I would never bring a living creature back there, only to receive 3 further 'individual' calls that day with the same offer for every one of my pets they didn't manage to kill but had on their books. ZERO stars I tell you.. hear zip from the owner not a call a card of an F you! They should close!

    Took my dog in for a haircut, 3 hours later I called to see if he was done I was told he peed in…read morehis kennel so they had to wash him that would be 45 more minutes. I told her he's never done that before ever!! Didn't hear anything so my husband shows up 1 hour later and my dog is soaking wet! They told him it would be 10 minutes to dry him off because he peed again. What? So my husband took him out to pee and noticed his foot was bleeding so back in he goes and they wrap his foot up with the excuse he must have cut it in the kennel. Well on the way home he's bleeding everywhere, we later find out its from his tongue that is split. I call the vet rush him in and he has to have surgery to repair his tongue. I believe they used the pending excuse to keep us away so they could stop his bleeding. Also he didn't even smell like he was shampooed. Never never again!!
