I'm new to the area and needed to find a groomer for my two mini schnauzers. With nothing to go…read moreon, I called the closest one to my house first (Shaggy Shears), but they didn't answer the phone in the middle of a work day ( terrible business tactic), so I called the groomer with the next cutest name in town. The lady who answered was kind over the phone and scheduled us on the first Saturday morning. My first impression of The Doggie Salon was one of a little concern because it smelled like cigarette smoke in the salon. I'm not a smoker and the last thing I want is my dogs coming home from the groomer smelling like ashtrays. The lady greeted us and complimented the dogs. I filled out client cards and told her about my elderly dog's lumps and bumps ( so she would take care not go nick them) before I left. She called me about 3 hours later for pick up and I was very pleased. My dogs were happily walking freely about the salon and looked more beautiful than ever before. This was one of the best cuts they've had. There was no hint of smoke or cigarette smell on them. A different lady greeted me and was just as kind as the first. It was $25 per dog less tip. I did not find one single nick on either of my dogs. I plan on bringing them back and will edit this post if necessary.

Pros: Janie did an excellent job grooming my dogs at a very good price. I have been grooming my…read moredogs by myself for a while now after a previous groomer severely cut my dog's ear, and instead of notifying me so that I could get her to the vet for stitches, the groomer acted like it was just a little nick. So, needless to say, I am very leery of groomers now. But, much to my relief, Janie did one of the best jobs, which included: shampoo, cut, nail trim, nail color, ear clean, eyes cleaned, cologne, and handkerchiefs; and thankfully, none of my dogs were injured in the process! Janie is very sweet, kind, patient, and welcoming. She seemed to genuinely care about my dogs (I have two with special needs). She will work with your schedule. She was worried about the weather and worked to have my dogs finished before an impending thunderstorm so that I wouldn't have to drive home in the weather (all her idea). Cons: If I have to list any critiques, they would be simply that Janie lives a tiny bit away from the town center; however it is not far by any means (like 2 miles?), so this should not deter anyone who wants give her a chance. Her address is very easy to find. Neither a Pro nor a Con: I hate to mention this. It is simply a small concern, and not a real criticism, so please bare with me, and realize that I am mentioning this because, if you do use Janie's services, you may have a similar impression, and I hope this will put you at ease rather than worry you. Janie, is a little bit older, but she is fully capable as a groomer. But, because she is a bit older, she might be a bit slower to get around, and her shop is not as pristine as you might expect. I can excuse this for her exceptional services; however, others may not. I plan to continue to use her services since I am currently finishing my master's degree and unable to groom my dogs myself right now. I will edit this post if necessary.
