Willow Lodge is a facility different than any other kennel in Le Mars. The guests get royal…read moretreatment & the kennels aren't tiny boxes! Whenever I bring my dog Sofia in for a short weekend stay or a long 1-2 weeks stay, she always comes back happy & healthy. Willow Run has a daily walk & play schedule for all dogs (and cats) that stay with them, so the animals aren't kenneled for extensive periods of time. Also, the owner, Shawn has two young girls of her own, so the guests are always active! I appreciate the convenience of Tail Trends being onsite as well. The two businesses share the same building. My dog can stay for the week at Willow Lodge when I'm out of town & come back home groomed, looking like her mischievous self again! The price is reasonable. I pay $16 a day for my smaller dog. It may be a little more for bigger dogs, but I'm not sure. I took a tour and asked a lot of questions before my dog stayed there initially & they were very open to that. They are responsible & caring & highly recommended!

I have taken my dog here several times now for daycare and couldn't be happier about it. I have a…read morerescue dog with a bad past who at 4 years old is still learning to trust different people. I was very nervous at first leaving my dog with new people because I was not sure how she would react, I expressed all my concerns to Josh before bringing her in and he gave me a tour of the facility and explained how he would go about handling and taking time getting to know my dog. The first time I dropped her off she tried to follow me right out the door and she was very uneasy, but now when I drop her off she doesn't even look back. It makes me feel good to drop her off there knowing she loves going and that she likes Josh so much. She doesn't like many people, especially men, so he must be doing something right.

I don't live in town anymore so I'm not able to get to Petco frequently, or any pet store for that…read morematter. My go-to store for pet food and supplies is Bomgaars, as my choices are either that or Hy-Vee, Walmart, Shopko, etc. I had some time recently to take my newest dog into Petco for his first visit and it couldn't have been better! Everyone was SO friendly and accommodating. There were workers throughout the store doing projects, stocking, greeting customers and pets in between their work, and the groomers seemed very busy and in demand. I've been in and out of this store since I was in elementary school and it is clear to see from anyone's perspective that the store could use some updates. One thing is, their bathroom is in the back- like the back back. They have signs directed you to the restrooms, so there really is no confusion or fuss there.. But you have to go through a short, half door that one would expect to be 'employees only,' and go past some shelves and storage of what looks like, a back room that is for employees only. But really no biggie, it's a quick transit, just a few steps and you see the bathroom. There's almost always an employee in that back area working so even though I know where the restrooms are, I always ask before just barging in there to use the facilities. Out of politeness, mostly, but I can see where new or shy customers wouldn't feel comfortable just traipsing back there. I think if Petco's corporate office could take this into consideration for the sake of convenience and not wanting to confuse or mislead customers, they should really look into re-routing the restrooms to an area with easier access. The staff has always been friendly and attentive on my every visit I can recall! Last year I even purchased the calendar with all the coupons on it that supports animas in need.. I hardly have the chance/remember the coupons for a visit to Petco, but I appreciate all that Petco does for pets in general and in the community. There is ALWAYS something in the store showing how they are contributing to the local area. Also, very helpful that they have little stations throughout the store that allow you to clean up after your pet's mess if they potty inside the store. I made use of these stations TWICE in my last visit. Oh and! The cashiers are friendly and greet your pet and offer a free treat from the treat bar. :) Now, for my favorite part.... The sales! I seriously get THE BEST prices on discounted toys, stuffed animals, clothing for my pets. (I don't dress my pets on the regular, but do I have a few sets of hilarious costumes or bunny ears that are funny to see them wear every once in a while? You bet I do. Lol) Anyways, I really do enjoy this store. I like to give it my business because of my past positive experiences and because I remember this store from childhood significantly.

We were called by phone today re a review we wrote concerning their grooming policy a few years…read moreago. We actually complimented the groomer but mentioned that our four month old puppy was traumatized by the constant loud barking in the background. So they decided to block us on their website because of this reasonable review, which was unbeknownst to us until today. We will NEVER shop at Petco again after discovering their lack of integrity and backhanded activity of blocking us. (And we've been shopping there for the past two years in our ignorance.). PetSmart will always be our choice now. You may consider making a similar decision if you value your right to offer a business a sensible review. Otherwise, Petco will simply punish you (blocking) as if you were an errant child.

I like that there is a screening process for the dogs to stay and that they are good about checking immunization records.

Of course I had to give them a try! First I brought in my long-haired chihuahua and told them to shave him down. He looked great! He did have a bad rash on his butt from caked-on mud and poo. He healed quickly tho. Then I brought in my standard yorkie and asked for him to be shaved down. (It's hot in the summer!) They did and I forgot how skinny he looked underneath all that hair! It's $50 because I asked for a bath, nails, and a cut. Totally worth it. They even put an adorable bandanna on your pup when they're done. I love that I can drop off my dog(s) super early in the morning. (Like, 6:45am) It helps with my schedule. It's a cute little place tucked back on a dirt road and tons of trees. I think I'll just stay with these guys! They do an awesome job.
