He gave her a lion's head cut, trimmed her nails and foot pads beautifully, and shampooed and conditioned her coat so it feels wonderful! She looks so cute and she was strutting around like I've never seen her do before! I guess all that mass of fur was actually weighing her down, poor thing! She's so happy to be rid of it and I'm happy to not have to remove all the leaves and stickers that she amassed every time she went outside. I definitely recommend Funky Pups!

I made arrangements with Jaymeey as a cat sitter for two 15 minute visits over the weekend while I…read moreleft town to take care of some legal paperwork. Everything in the initial consultation seemed trustworthy: contracts, etc. A close friend checked up on our house before we returned from our trip and informed us that Jaymeey was in the house for much longer than 15 minutes, doing laundry and relaxing with a man she invited into our home without our consent(something we were told would NOT happen in the agreed contract). Our friend also informed us that Jaymeey and this man made a huge mess and empty food containers and clothes were all over the living room. A travel bathroom kit was also left behind. All of these findings lead us to believe that Jaymeey stayed the night and used our belongings without our permission, and also let the man stay here and do the same without our permission. As we unpacked from the trip, my fiancé noticed that several pieces of family heirloom jewelry had been stolen from our bedroom (in addition to various other rings, pieces of jewelry, gold dollar coins, and crystals). These are heirloom pieces that are not simply misplaced or forgotten. Lastly, our internet had been disconnected because Jaymeey, or the man she let into our house pirated a movie resulting in our account being flagged.

Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional and compassionate to our needs. Being new patients they were able to quickly schedule follow ups and boosters. I haven't received such compassionate care, honesty and time to explain history and concerns as I experienced at this clinic. I may be a new client but my first few appointments were a really good start to a new town and a new veterinary clinic I feel I can trust. Thank you.

I scheduled with Bubble Buddies primarily because I have a very large and strong dog who is…read morecompletely blind and hates baths. She plants her feet and won't move if she feels pressured. She relies on my voice to calm her and I wanted to be nearby at least at first. This isn't something the nearest groomers would allow, so a mobile groomer seemed ideal. I decided to give a spa day to my second dog at the same time, in part because I wanted to make it worthwhile for this company to come to my house. My second dog doesn't like other dogs so we avoid situations like a groomer's. It was a wonderful experience for all three of us. The groomer had been a vet tech and she sincerely liked my girls. My blind dog, who is shy, trusted her right away and that's unusual. She was sensitive to their personalities and needs and so gentle (yet effective) with them. The groomer was really able to focus on each dog and personalize the grooming experience to them. For example, one dog was afraid of the blow dryer so she skipped that. She was sensitive to their needs, and that, as well as having the van come right to our house, was well worth the cost. I'm so pleased to find a service like this in Humboldt. I'm from Honolulu and we didn't even have one there. My special needs rescue dogs have endured a lot and it gives me great pleasure to treat them well and support people who do the same. I also got a big kick out of the bows on their collars after they were bathed. Generally I see little fluffy dogs with them after grooming. My sweet girls, although vastly different from expensive purebreds, looked even better. I hope this business is successful as I look forward to utilizing their helpful expertise again. Thank you, Bubble Buddies, for treating my dogs with respect and kindness, and giving them a positive grooming experience in a safe environment.

I do keep my cockers' hair short to avoid mats and keep them cool in the Summer. But, yes, they sometimes get matted and gross but Linn always calls me to discuss shaving them down, which I do if that is what she recommends. I have them groomed every 6-7 weeks which keeps them clean and looking good. She's also helped when my dogs have been "skunked". She got her smelling much better than I could at home. Her move to Blue Lake meant driving a little further but it is well worth it to know your babies area safe in her care. I highly recommend her.

I don't want my fur babies to suffer because I let them become a mess. The result is that my puppets like to go to Linn's and that's worth 5 stars!!
