Excellent experience with this family run business. We were in Sequim for a few days on a getaway…read moreand wanted our Boxer boy to have some fun of his own. We'd never had him in daycare so I had a lot of questions and hesitation but they were prompt to respond each time. Our pup ended up having a great time with no issues with the other dogs. The two men we met that are in charge of overseeing the dogs were informative as well as understanding my nervousness about leaving him for the first time. There was ample paperwork to fill out but that proved they are cautious and fulfilling their responsibilities given their good reputation. It went so well we took him back a second day. They are a good 15 mins. off the beaten road in a very rural location but was worth the drive. Would definitely use them again if in that area.

While searching for a groomer and trying to become educated , my cat little bit had become fully engulfed in painful matts. At the end of our rope, we came across Austin at Petazzled. He took the time to listen, and also to get to know her personally. He also, and this is important, moved his grooming table over next to the lobby so I could be with her and calm her. It was a huge job, he made it into two appointments to give her a break. When we came back, though its painful, she was excited to see him. I've never had a better experience with such an arduous task. He charged me far less than he should have , so I tried to make it up with his tip, but it was still lower than anywhere I've been. you might have some trouble with scheduling, but that's because he takes extra care with individual animals. Ill go nowhere else. Thank you Austin. Lil Bit (fluffy) and Jason

Very dissapointed- stood up 3X by Austin for my scheduled grooming apt- he texted at the last…read moreminute to cancel my apt. He did not bother with any personal phone call. One time I arrived for my scheduled apt., Austin insisted that I was supposed to come 1/2 hour earlier, so it was too late for him to groom my dog, and besides, his next apt. had arrived early. I rescheduled a few days later, then he cancelled at the last minute with a text which I missed. This caused me to drive 2X from Sequim for an apt., which did not occur after I arrived. On another occasion in the middle of my dog's trim, my dog coughed up a tiny amount of phlegm. Austin immediately called me, saying I can't continue with your dog, please come right away to pick her up. He suggested that I take my dog to the vet (with a very tiny amount of phlegm she coughed up). I brought her home- she was fine for the next days, and I am stuck with a half groomed dog, requiring another day to reschedule. There was no consideration for the customer, and no courtesy call to the customer to cancel 2 different apt's. Austin thinks it is fine just to text to cancel shortly before the scheduled apt. I find this lack of professionalism, unreliability, poor communication and management to be unacceptable, and I hope to warn others before they too have a bad experience. I will never return, and will share my negative experiences with every one I know. A pattern of negative experiences suggested to me that Austin did not like me, or my sweet dog. The message I got was: "you and your dog are not welcome here".

I had an amazing experience here with the staff, doctors, and services. My dog has had crisis level…read morehealth issues this summer that have involved multiple trips to the ER for what has turned out to be a stubborn kidney infection. We live in Napa, where wildfire evacuations, the heat wave, covid, and the dog collapsing were basically making me fall apart and so we came up to the peninsula for a respite. They were able to make an appointment for that week for an exam, blood test and urine sample. Dr. Torres has a great manner, talked with me at length, gave me medications to have on hand in case his symptoms returned before we could get back to Napa, and then followed up, patiently explaining test results and recommendations, along with emailing me the results and her notes. After so many visits where the dog was diagnosed with a variety of ailments, including respiratory failure (wrong), told he was dying momentarily (he's still kicking), calcified disks in his neck (maybe?), dementia (sharp as a tack), UTI (yes), possible kidney infection (yes)... late nights, lots of tears, and having to confront the reality that if the suffering continues I will have to make a heartbreaking choice...her calming voice and confidence in her findings that he just needed a longer course of antibiotics to clear the infection put me deeply at ease. The medications she provided were clutch, as three days after our visit (6 since ending his previous course of antibiotics) his symptoms returned at about 10pm on a Saturday night in Middle of Nowhere, Washington. Armed with her notes and tests, I have since been able to get him the correct care he needs. Make no mistake, he's a tough dog to treat: 15, deaf, hind end paralysis, cataracts, three teeth, and stoic. I am also tough patient: exhausted, heartbroken, traumatized, a fire refugee, and covid cabin fever crazy. She cared for us both with such grace, kindness, and professionalism. I recommend her in a heartbeat and am so grateful we crossed her path.

Dr. Stubchaer was very kind and respectful, so I hoped our return visit would be the same. Unfortunately, I was completely wrong! ​We saw a new vet a year later, and wow, had things changed--and not in a good way. The staff was rude and neglected the care my dad's dog needed. It seemed they would rather just let your pet suffer. I'm grateful for our new vet, who confirmed my suspicion about why they treated us this way. I will never return.

I almost hate to leave this review as Sheila and her great crew are already booked pretty solid,…read morebut I have to give them credit for the best job done to date on my two beloved lhasa-poo dogs. For the past two years I have been grooming the boys myself to save the money. It's been a fun learning experience and I definitely saved a bunch of cash but I found that having a professional groom them, at least once in a while, has other benefits. For starters, Sheila noticed that one of my dogs has a fungus in his ear. I had thought it was gone so her noticing this helped me get him back on track. I'm avoiding steroids and expensive veterinarian fees and using things like oil of oregano and dietary changes (NO SUGARS) instead. It's been working but I was hesitant to pull the hair out of his ear. Sheila did this and noticed that the fungus is still there and needs more attention. She short clipped them, as asked, and did a great job around their faces. For some reason in the past groomers have not really paid good attention to their faces and it was so nice to really see their little eyes again. She also took care of their anal glands, again, something I'm not able to do on my own. I really appreciated the way Sheila took her time with my dogs, noticed more than just their visual appearance and went over and beyond what most groomers would do, even though she clearly has a full load. And last, my dogs were unstressed and comfortable with her. She's a good lady and runs a great shop. Highly recommended. Thank you Sheila!

I guess I've come to expect perfection, because the others fell far short of the job Sheila does, and they all charge more! Clearly, the others are amateurs compared to Sheila. Best of all, my dogs have always LOVED her! A couple of times, one of my dogs did have an issue with impacted anal glands, as a previous reviewer stated. Yes, it was uncomfortable for my dog but, hell... No one else ( I've tried) even bothers to do that! Sheila does a complete and professional grooming.

I asked why I wasn't told this before I was supposed to be there with the dog. She just said sorry. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else and if I were you, I wouldn't ever take my dog to this business.

We rescued our dog from a pretty poor shelter, and at first sight noticed that she was bleeding…read morefrom having injured herself trying to get out of the kennel (something the shelter staff did not take a moment to notice). She still gets very upset when caged. A typical groomer puts dogs in cages between stages of grooming, which is why we had not taken her to one for awhile. But when I asked the K-9 people about possibly doing her either at the start or end of a day when she could be done right through the process without being caged, they pleasantly agreed. They also sometimes ask a lesser price if they were unable to get her very dry when we pick her up, or got started late or whatever. We would not shortchange these people for such minor reasons. They clearly care for these dogs and treat customers honestly. To the person who complained because they wouldn't take their type of dog, I would say that sometimes people make honest mistakes and may not be very good at making them right. That can be frustrating. But I'm guessing that a public message intended to turn people away from an honest place of business for one poorly handled error is not your proudest accomplishment. I too had to seek out a groomer who would handle the type of dog we have, and was happy to discover how accomodating K-9 Klips in Sequim can be. I hope others will ask the right questions and at least give them a try to decide for themselves.
