**DEEPLY UPSETTING GROOMING EXPERIENCE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A KEESHOND…read more I brought my two Keeshonds to Beau Chien expecting professional, breed appropriate grooming (especially when I was told by Alex he had experience grooming Keeshonds). Unfortunately, this turned into the worst grooming experience me and my two dogs ever had! Keeshonds are a double-coated dog breed and proper grooming requires preserving the coat (especially their signature mane). My female's mane was completely chopped off, drastically changing her appearance and coat structure. She barely resembled a Keeshond and looked more like a Polar Bear. My male's grooming was very concerning to me! About a week and a half (after their grooming appointment at Beau Chien) I took them to get their hair brushed from a groomer who had pointed out to me how thin my males mane was and showed me multiple bald patches on his neck where his hair had clearly been pulled out rather than gently brushed. or properly de-matted. Seeing those areas where his hair was gone had extremely upset me. Prior to their grooming at Beau Chien I had taken them to their regular groomers in Bethel. However, my groomer was fully booked and would not be able to groom them for another month. She came out to see the both of my dogs as she always did and checked their coats (a regular thing she does). I left there and went home. A week later I had taken them to Beau Chien. After this experience at Beau Chien I went back to my regular groomer to show her the chop job they each had. My groomer was in shock (as I had been when I saw my female) when she saw how the female's mane was completely chopped off as well as all her fur too. It looked like she was groomed by EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS! My groomer told me that both my Keeshonds were no where near severely matted and that there was absolutely no need to drastically chop off their hair female's mane and a huge majority of her fur and same with my male. She said that an experienced and patient groomer (familiar with the breed) would have safely brushed through her mane and not have chopped it all off which I agree with her a 100%! When I contacted the owner to discuss what had happened to my two dogs, I was told "It was the Humane thing to do" We are not there to euthanize my dog, we were there for them to get groomed!! I was in shock the owner said that to me! Humane grooming should never result in unnecessary coat removal or bald patches on my dog's throat. This experience left me feeling that there was a lack of breed specific knowledge, poor handling of double-coated dogs. NO WILLINGNESS to ACKNOWLEDGE CLIENT CONCERNS AFTERWARDS. I am sick over this chop job they called grooming

We love Beau Chien! My 2 rescue chows came to us with beautiful, but VERY long coats, and mats…read morebehind their ears. One even had mats under her front legs too. After a quick meet and greet, an appointment was scheduled. The staff were SO GREAT with my girls. It was an extensive job they had, I asked for a very short cut, due to the mats, and it being the height of summer. The staff delivered, above and beyond all my expectations. Highly, highly recommend. They are AMAZING.

This place has really gone down hill!! Big time! I started going there 10 years ago and I loved it!…read moreThe girls at the front desk were amazing and the techs too they loved the animals so much! The vets too! But now omg no way! Soooo sooo soo awful! Don't ever bring your babies there ever!!!!!!!! The front desk is soo rude and doesn't even look at you or even say hello to the animal then the vet tech Pricilla was the worst!!! Just a miserable grumpy angry women! Not a smile if you paid her I bring my cat she grabs him so hard with these huge gloves and towel doesn't say hello or anything! The vet was just as bad! Rude unfriendly uncaring just horrific! I have had animals for my whole life! I grew up with a little farm we had horses cats dogs etc so I know animals very well and I have been to many vets in my lifetime! This was the worst experience of my life! I would never bring my baby to that awful place ever again! The vet didn't even touch my cat other than jab him with the shot she said she couldn't listen to his heart or look at anything? Meanwhile they have done things yearly for ten years no problem! Anyway do not ever go waste your animals time and stress to not be showed any love or care or kindness! I will tell everyone I know and all the people I sent there to never go again! I don't want anyone else's babies to go through that treatment ever again! You guys need to be shut down! Idk anyone who would want to bring their babies to a place so full of anger and just unhappy miserable people! Who don't seem to care about the animals or the people who are bringing their babies there! You need a whole new staff and or retraining and some happy pills or therapy for them! Seriously it was that bad! Get it together!

She pulled through with flying stars thank goodness but we really needed to address the beautiful but dangerous amount of fur that she had on her body. I have had Cats all of my life but never had them professionally groomed. What a FANTASTIC experience! Dana was so sweet and caring both to me and my Kitty. She was so gentle, talking to Piper throughout her 45 minute Spa day. She clipped her toes, cleaned her ears, took TONS of undercoat from her and then lightly shaved her undercarriage, chest, under arms, sanitary places, feet and other places that Piper likes to groom. I HIGHLY recommend this shop and Dana as a place that you will feel comfortable and confident in bringing your Kitty!. Thanks Dana for all you do ! You're Amazing!

The groomer left my dog on the table and come out to the reception area to talk to us. He started chatting while the dog was left unattended, and I did my best to cut the conversation short and get him to finish up. they were recommended to me. My dog looked nice afterwards, and the staff were friendly, but I do have some concerns. Edit: thanks for responding. I asked when I picked up Cooper how he behaved, and did not hear of any issues other than that he didn't like his nails trimmed. If he was biting, I understand the use of the restraints, if they are loose enough. I've updated my rating.
