Great place, my dogs love it. I will be honest I was very reluctant to go here after reading the…read moreyelp post from 2011/2012, but I already made reservations beforehand, and the staff/day care crew seemed amazing. They greeted not only me but both my dogs by name (I know for you Internet trolls that they have a computer that tells them that, but I like when a business is professional enough to greet people/pets by name). I kenneled both Romeo (large dog) and Lizzie (medium) at northwest kennels, they both seemed clean and happy after a week under the care of NW kennels. When I picked them up they both were bright eyed and entergized but when I got home they both hit the ground and slept soundly for hours. Stars: I rated them four because a lot of local kennels did seem to include day care free with boarding, northwest didn't. But of all the kennels I called thier staff seemed the nicest/ professional that I talked too. I would recommend nw kennels

GREAT first grooming experience for our dog with Kati at Northwest K-9! Our pup is 9 months old,…read moreshy, and sensitive and she came out of her appointment all tail wags! She's so soft and smells amazing, and Kati did a beautiful job trimming and shaping her hair so that she kept her natural look, just more manageable and tidy. My friend said, "She's still Clover, just 40% less Einstein haha. Very cute!" Everyone we spoke to was so friendly and the whole place was beautiful and clean. We'll definitely be back!

I actually found City Dog Grooming through ChatGPT while trying to figure out how to manage my…read morefirst-generation goldendoodle's long, wavy (and honestly... high-maintenance ) coat. From the start, they were fantastic--answered the phone, called me back, got me scheduled quickly, and even sent an email so I could include detailed instructions and photos. When I dropped him off, they truly listened to everything I said. They were happy to give him treats (which he loves, and it makes a huge difference), they Dremeled his nails exactly like I asked, and they were careful with his ears--he's sensitive to ear flushes, so I requested just water, and they followed that perfectly. He came home happy, relaxed, and looking amazing--and that's not always easy with this coat type. I'm so grateful I found them. Thank you, City Dog Grooming!

I took my double-coated English Springer Spaniel in to be groomed, and they shaved her entire coat…read more When I made the appointment, I specifically asked if they were able to do breed-specific ESS grooming, and I was assured they could. When I dropped her off, I also made it clear that she should not be body-clipped and that I only wanted her feathering trimmed. After the appointment, I called to understand what happened and how this miscommunication occurred. Alison was very apologetic and explained that the receptionist's notes said to do a 1/2" trim all over. If there was any confusion about those notes, I wish the groomer had called me before starting to confirm that I actually wanted my dog shaved. City Dogs did issue a refund, but I'm extremely disappointed, and now there's a real possibility that my dog's coat will not grow back correctly.

Angela Lenz - the owner of Tails A Wagging - is truly a dog whisperer. I've never met anyone that…read moreunderstands the language of dogs better than she does. She generously shares her knowledge, and helps every dog owner she encounters, whether they are clients, customers, or just someone who has a dog and needs some help and could benefit from everything she knows. Our dog has taken more than 10 classes and every trainer Angela hires shares her outlook on positive reinforcement and the joy that training and bonding brings to both the dog and their human. Tails A Wagging is a safe place for dogs, and the humans that love them. Highly Recommend. All the Paws Up!

I really needed to get his nails trimmed and the vet recommended Happy Pooch. I was able to make an appointment very easily. I had explained about Oscar's reactivity so she gave us an appointment at the end of the day when there wouldn't be a bunch of clients or dogs around. I brought Oscar in, and as predicted, he barked at Melissa and her assistant, Madelyn. Melissa was very very patient with Oscar, giving him treats and speaking to him calmly and gently. She knew exactly how to work with him!! She led us to a back room where it was quiet and we wouldn't encounter any other "triggers". She really took her time letting Oscar relax and we were eventually able to get his nails clipped with lots of treats and encouragement! I am so grateful for Melissa. She is very experienced and very kind! We bought a punchcard and Oscar will return for regular "PETicures"!
