She was friendly, on time and reasonable.

Kalamazoo has not had a mobile groomer in nearly 15 years, so when my Dad mentioned Jessica and…read moreParamount Grooming to me I was super excited. As a non-driver I like to have as many mobile services as possible on our roster because it just makes our life simpler. After I called and made an appointment for Blue and explained that I was allergic to nearly everything on the planet Earth, Jessica was kind enough to work with us and offer to use our shampoo to bathe Blue. I also explained that Blue suffers from arthritis and we worked out a plan for Blue-Bird to not need to stand during her entire haircut and bath. Blue has been groomed before and I always felt a tad apprehensive dropping her off at the other groomer, but I have to say, even though I knew she was just in front of the house, I felt at ease with Jessica. After her bath and trim Blue looked amazing! The best part, Blue, a normally shy and timid senior dog who does not warm up around strangers, was so happy. It was obvious that even though Blue had just had a bath, which is not her favorite activity, she was treated sweetly because Blue was in a good mood. For practical purposes, I had been brushing and trimming Blue for the past four or five years, but she needed a professional to clean her up a bit. Blue received a mini groom and because she was sensitive around the ears and my allergies precluded the ear cleaning, her ears were just wiped out. Her nails were trimmed and the hair around her feet were trimmed. The dryer and brush got out a lot of her undercoat. She looks fantastic and her coat feels so much better.

Well, I have a miniature schnauzer and the various places I've tried didn't really WOW me with their grooming services. But this place definitely did!!

I have taken both of my dogs multiple times and was happy with their cut. However, I took my small…read moreshipoo to get groomed yesterday since he was getting matted and shaggy. After picking him up, the groomer said he did great and had no issues. When I brought him home, I noticed he was licking his stomach area and upon checking he had a gash that was red and irritated. I called, spoke with the owner and all she could give me was an "I'm sorry" and that "they didn't know it happened". As a professional, shouldn't you check your work and ensure the animal is safe and comfortable?? Do NOT take your dog here because their lack of empathy and professionalism is sup par. I was truly disappointed.

Yes, Deb provides a great service to the canine community with Foster care. It is a wonderful convenience to have a reliable local boutique style pet shop and pet grooming facility right in the neighborhood. The best part is Deb also carries a unique selection of premium pet food for our discerning four leggeds. She took the time and made the effort to order samples of a newer food for one of our pets who had gastric challenges, plus made many recommendations as we tried different food options. The store is always clean, well organised and with plenty of special and unique treats and goodies to bestow upon your lovely pets. The staff is cordial, friendly and attentive. I absolutely love the report cards from the groomers, who truly listen to what I request at each grooming. The dogs are always eager to visit the store and eagerly head to the grooming room with no fuss. Head on over to check out a local neighborhood favourite and, should you forget your mask or need a spare one, pick up one in the store along with some toys and treats for your pets and, be sure to schedule a future grooming appointment. Every pet surely deserves the special Barks 5th Avenue TLC. The Clarks

While they sell dog and cat toys and accessories, the biggest draw, of course, are the fresh baked pet goodies! I have a pug named Arthur and every year, we take him in on his birthday to pick out special treats for him. For other occasions, too, sometimes. Also, for Christmas this past year, I went in and bought treats for all the dogs in the family - they all approved, haha. There is a wide variety of treats - all very cutely decorated. We've bought squirrels and nuts and puppies and ice cream cones and I also bought a 'Corgi Cannoli' for my friend's dog - who is a Corgi mix. ;-P They also offer some grooming services. We have taken Artie in for nail trimmings in between his grooming appointments - a cheap and convenient service. And since it's a pet-centric store, bring your furry kid in with you when you visit! :-D
