The first few visits were OK, but my dog became more hesitant to go in. The last time I had to…read morecarry her in and then walk her into the grooming area. When I came, to pick her up, there was "Hip Hop" music, playing very loudly, in the grooming area. The door between the reception area and grooming area is mis-aligned and needs to be pushed closed. They just slam it, sometimes, shaking the entire wall. As I was waiting, to pick up my dog, another dog was waiting to go in. It was a large mild mannered breed, but was just shaking at the thought of going in, and had to be forced in.

We have been taking my Wheaten and Cairn here for a couple of years now - Melinda does a great job…read morewith both, they don't seem nervous or anxious to go in, and Melinda is excellent with breed appropriate haircuts and variations on them to make them more practical. I can't tell you how many other groomers have made my Wheaten look like a Schnauzer and my Cairn look like a Scottie. They come home clean, stink-free, and happy :) The pricing is great as well - we're glad we found a grooming "home" in the metro.

I went to petsakes to get food for the dog I had just adopted from a shelter. They didn't have what…read moreI was looking for, so the girl showed me another kind of food, that may be similar. Well my dog can't eat it. It may be too rich compared to what she's been eating. I called the store this morning and told the lady about it. She said they can't take back the food, after it's been opened. I have never been told that. Every where I have bought dog food from, guarantees it, or will take it back for a refund, or a replacement of another kind. I will never do business with these people again. When people do business like this, they don't care about your pet, it's all about making money. So now they have my money, 31.00 to be exact. I'm out that money, and have to spend probably about sane amount on another bag of food she can eat.
