    No wonder he needs lots of baths!
    Joe B.

    The store is always clean and the employees are nice and helpful. That's the retail side. The reason I'm posting a review is the grooming side. I have a Beagle mix rescue and he is a difficult patient to say the least. Every one of the folks there that have groomed him and clipped/ grinded his nails has been patient and very sensitive to how anxious he is in there. They all appear to be true animal lovers which has to be essential to the job. We are loyal customers!

    Horrible customer service. Cancelling appointments left and right. No accommodation made for their mistakes. And it's no bargain either!

    I had previously been very happy bringing Max here, which makes this review particularly…read moredisappointing to write. The staff have always been sweet and friendly with both of us. Unfortunately, my experience when something went wrong changed my confidence in continuing to trust them with his care. Max went in for his a grooming appointment with no irritation or injury to his belly. I requested a shorter summer cut and trusted the professionals caring for him to determine how to safely execute that request. He was not himself the following day, and by Friday I discovered significant irritation in the area that had been closely groomed. It continued to worsen and ultimately required an emergency veterinary visit, antibiotics, pain medication, a cone, and several days of wound care. When I contacted the business, their response focused on the fact that they had not observed an injury during his appointment and that I did not identify the irritation until after the grooming. They declined any responsibility or reimbursement. I wasn't looking for an admission of wrongdoing or expecting them to cover a large veterinary bill. Maybe a refund of the grooming fee, a discount, or another meaningful gesture would have shown me that they took what happened to Max seriously. What concerned me most was the lack of accountability once there was a problem. I sent a final message explaining why their response had damaged my trust and asking them to cancel Max's future appointment, and I received no response at all. My dog is family to me. I willingly pay for quality professional care because his safety and well-being matter enormously to me. I need to know that the people I entrust him to will not only treat him well when everything goes right, but will respond with care and accountability if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, after this experience, I no longer have that confidence and will be taking Max elsewhere.

    I've owned my American Akita since he was 8 weeks old, and he's now 7 years old. After years of…read moreprofessional grooming appointments, I know when he's ready to be groomed and I always pay for the de-shedding package with the additional brushing because that's what his double coat requires. When I picked him up, I was told he did a great job overall. The groomer mentioned he gave a couple of warnings because he didn't like the brush, so I specifically asked if that affected the quality of the groom. I was told it did not. I waited several weeks before saying anything because I wanted to make sure the shedding wasn't just leftover loose hair. Unfortunately, he continued shedding heavily throughout my home. I even provided photos. What convinced me the de-shedding wasn't thorough was that very little hair was coming from his undercoat. Instead, the loose hair continued coming from his outer coat every time I rubbed him, even weeks later. When I reached out, I was told the brushing had been intentionally limited to avoid brush burn. While I appreciate wanting to avoid making a dog uncomfortable, I paid for the additional brushing service and don't feel I received the level of de-shedding I paid for. I was also confused by the explanations I received. At pickup, I was told my dog's behavior didn't affect the groom. Later, I was told he had actually been more difficult during the appointment, although I was again told that wasn't the reason for the outcome. I was also told maybe I brought him in too early, but after seven years with my dog, I know when he's ready to be groomed. To be fair, I don't place all of the blame on my groomer. My biggest disappointment was how the owner handled the situation. After I was told the owner would call me, I instead received a lengthy text message. I responded respectfully, answered every question, and provided photos, but I was never offered a touch-up, another de-shedding treatment, a partial refund, or any other effort to resolve the issue. Eventually, my messages stopped receiving responses. This salon charges premium prices, and I was willing to pay them because my first experience was so positive. If someone had simply called me and made a reasonable effort to resolve the issue, I would have gladly remained a customer. And as you can see from the picture he was clearly ready to be groomed Update as of July 22nd 2026 still not even a phone call from the owner

    As someone who has worked here and QUIT:…read more Employees were expected to handle large numbers of dogs under extremely stressful conditions, and I witnessed dogs being roughly handled and verbally mistreated. Dogs were called names (bitches) and spoken to in ways that I found completely unacceptable for a business whose entire reputation is supposed to revolve around caring for animals. When I was first hired, the staff did not give me the required safety and training video. From my experience, there was no apparent urgency to make sure I actually received or completed the training before being put to work. It came across to me as pure, unadulterated laziness and negligence. The treatment of employees was just as disturbing. We were not allowed to sit down, even during long periods of physically exhausting work. I eventually passed out on the concrete floor in the large-dog section. When I fell, my eyeglasses went into my face so hard that they left a visible indentation and caused bleeding. One of the moments that really shocked me was when I specifically asked what I was supposed to do if dogs got into a fight. I expected a clear answer or established safety procedure, especially in a workplace responsible for supervising groups of dogs. Instead, the response I received was essentially, "Shit, I don't know." That was extremely concerning to me. When you're responsible for multiple dogs in an environment where fights can happen, employees should know exactly what protocol to follow before an emergency occurs. Being met with "I don't know" when asking a basic safety question made me question how prepared the staff actually were to handle a serious incident. The incident was visible on camera, and a coworker's mother witnessed what happened through the camera footage. Despite the seriousness of what happened, I received no meaningful assistance. Instead, when I regained consciousness and attempted to get out of the pen on my own, the dogs got out. Rather than checking whether I was injured or making sure I was okay after literally passing out and hitting my face, the focus was on the dogs having "escaped." I was then told to take a ten-minute "break." The entire response made me feel as though they believed I was exaggerating or faking what had happened rather than dealing with an actual medical incident. The owner's retarded son was present during the incident and, in my experience, did nothing to assist me. There were also serious concerns about the way people were treated. I personally experienced and witnessed behavior that I considered racially insensitive and discriminatory, and I found the owner's conduct toward certain people deeply bigoted and unacceptable. These are not the values I would expect from a workplace or a business serving the public. I would strongly encourage anyone considering employment here or dropping off your animals, to ask detailed questions about employee and pet safety, breaks, incident procedures, and how both employees and animals are treated when nobody is watching. Additionally, Neil (if currently employed at this location) is in desperate need of some proper oral hygiene. Perhaps a trip to the orthodontist, or the use of this Listerine (the strongest I could find) that I've attached below. No one should have to deal with that torture in the workplace.

We love Best Friends Fur Ever because of it being easy to make an appointment. Once you have gone through the initial enrolling process and gotten into their system, you fill in a request for service online and they contact you within 24 hours (usually it is closer to 12 hours). During stays, Best Friends Fur Ever have great communication. Sometimes they will upload pictures. They will reach out with any issues they have and respond quickly if you have any questions. The employees here clearly love dogs. No matter who the employee is, when we go to drop our dog off they get really excited to see our dog. He, in turn, gets excited to see them. We love that Best Friends Fur Ever will take care of grooming needs while we are away. If possible, they will trim nails, bathe them and express their anal glands. Finally, the biggest reason we choose Best Friends Fur Ever, is our dog always seems well taken care of when we return to get him. If he is happy, we are happy.

You can feel the love from the staff and how they care for the clients and each other. I truly recommend boarding your dog at the Cockeysville location.
