I waited too late to get my dog into the vet at Christmas for boarding so I contacted the Animal…read moreInn of Frederick and spoke with/Nancy. Despite their being busy, they found space for my beloved pet for the 2 nights I needed. It's a beautiful property and the rates were probably better than my vet would've charged me. Upon pickup, Prija (my dog) , was in good spirits and has suffered no setbacks in personality and showed no signs of anxiety...best of all, she didn't come home sick. I highly recommend Animal Inn and we will use them again when we travel back to the area!

We've been going here for boarding for years and more recently (last year or so) for grooming with…read moreNicole. They are currently temporarily closed during the pandemic, but I wanted to stop to write a review of them. We have 3 small dogs. When we go on vacation, we rent a "run" so the 3 can stay together and have plenty of room to run around. They also offer smaller pens and you can get "playtime" and "walks" etc. We've been using them for years and our dogs have NEVER come home sick or sad. They always come home happy and healthy, which is huge with a kennel. We went through a period last year, where I literally had to board them every weekend for 2 months due to a family situation on the west coast, and they came back to me happy as clams every week. Their prices are also SUPER reasonable. The owner is very accessible and friendly. On the grooming side, Nicole does a great job! I've had them groomed several times, while staying there. She does a good job interacting with the dogs and they come out looking adorable and smelling great. My dogs are a bit nervous of new people, but they took to her immediately. She's a sweet person and a great groomer with very fair pricing. I highly recommend both the boarding and the grooming.

They have 4 shampoos to use, aprons to keep you dry, soft towels, nail trimmers, too! No more washing towels and scrubbing the tub after we bathe the dogs at home, so much better to visit Central Dawgma.

What a scam! The intake was great. It was super friendly…read more The intake person wrote down exactly what I wanted done, which was. "Under no circumstances should my dog be shaved." The ONLY thing I wanted done was a bathe, a sanitary clip, and her nails and ears done. That's it! The intake person told me it would take 3 hours. Great. I was surprised when I got a call 1.5 hours later to come pick my dog up. They requested payment immediately, but somehow forgot to quote me a price. I paid, because it seemed like it would be easier and my wife and her family had been going to this place for years. Anyway, I only briefly noticed my dog's appearance initially, because I was in a hurry to another appointment. When I got to the other appointment and actually looked at my dog, I was flabbergasted. I can't believe I just paid $125 dollars for a complete shave of my dog! I could have done that at home! I would have done that at home. I wanted her nicely groomed, not shaved. I called my wife. She called the groomer. Then...well...the groomer lied. There was some completely fabricated conversation story about how they called me in the middle of grooming to tell me there would be an extra charge for extra time and I flatly refused. THIS NEVER HAPPENED...so...I called. The manager told me that the groomer's story changed to a conversation that happened during the intake. She supposedly told me then that if the hair length was going to be kept, it would be an extra $15 and extra time and I flatly refused, so they went ahead and shaved the dog. THIS NEVER HAPPENED! An extra $15 to groom my dog the way my wife specifically asked would have been no problem! But no. What really happened was a greedy little groomer wanted to fit and extra dog into the schedule and cut the appointment short by screwing up my dog's very nice coat (at least this is my guess, as I cannot for the life of me figure out how everything got this screwed up). Anyway, instead of giving me a refund, they offered me 25% off the next grooming session that I will never use! I just paid $125 dollars for complete incompetence and to be lied to and about! Worse, I automatically tipped the lying groomer! I understand mistakes. It happens. I would have been completely OK if there was an apology about notes getting messed up, or the instructions getting confused with another dog's. I wouldn't be happy, but I would understand, somewhat. Instead a complete lie was fabricated to justify laziness and incompetence. I absolutely HATE being lied to and about. I can only hope that anyone reading this takes my review to heart.

Hannah goes an amazing job! My pup always comes out looking…read moresuper clean cut! I trust Hannah, rather than sending my dog off to a place that holds multiple dogs all day, running through the line! - plus she makes it so convenient coming to our place. Hannah is super thorough and will suggest and elaborate her grooming style based on your particular dog / hair type etc. As the fur flies provides a much more intimate and attentive way of grooming!

We've brought our standard poodles to Audrey for several years. They are always excited to see her,…read moreand we have been delighted with her results. Out normal appointment is wash, cut, and blow with a mani/pedi. It takes a full two hours - sometimes a bit longer to complete a Standard Poodle. Normally, we specify details of our poodle cuts. The most recent time however, we asked Audrey to style what she thought best. The result was gorgeous - something we'd not have thought of. She is an artist. Audrey takes only one dog at a time, so she's completely focused on each. The studio is located in her home's lower level with professional equipment and always clean. She likes the color purple. Audrey has her own dogs and is obviously a dog lover. This, IMO, is a characteristic that sets her apart from other groomers who do the work mechanically on a supervised deadline. TIP: Reserve an appointment ASAP. Audry's appointments are normally booked weeks in advance. ADVICE: Do not let your dog free roam the fenced backyard. One of the sheds is a chicken coop that gets our poodles super excited. The chickens definitely do not like barking and jumping dogs at their chicken wire fence.

They will just not be open sometimes, like today, a sunny Sunday. We like being able to support our local independent pet store, but we can no longer rely on them for our dog's food because they just decide to sometimes not open on Sundays, a day they have listed as open, or open late. So we decided today we are just ordering dog food online from now on. This has happened too many times to us now. We need reliability, and we don't have it here, sadly.
