You don't need a reservation for nail trimming or other selection services. They open at 10 AM on Sunday's so it makes it convenient to take my dog in, he loves going to see these guys. I will ask him if he wants to go to the groomer he gets excited. They are very quick but do a good job. On Maui it is not easy finding a good groomer as i have had several over the years and they move or go out of business and I don't like taking my dogs to the big box stores. I prefer to give my money to smaller local business. Every time I go these guys are friendly and always in a cheerful mood and they take good care of my fur baby. I am definitely going to take my baby back for other services. I usually wash him but have considered taking him for a bath or a flea bath as I don't always have as much time on my hands. I highly recommend these folks because they do a good job and are not too expensive. The only thing is I wish they were closer as I live in haiku and it is a drive as they are located in Happy Valley.

My poodle mix rescue needed a full groom and I didn't have time to trek into Wailuku to my usual…read moregroomer so I called Catherine to see if she could fit him into her schedule. Easy to text and arrange. Unfortunately due to an unexpected family emergency I had to cancel and she was understanding of the situation. So, I rescheduled a few weeks later and again she was very happy to try another date and time and give me a 2nd chance. Catherine is a mobile groomer, she has a setup on the back of her truck with a grooming table, etc. She bathed our boy in our kitchen sink (we have a huge one specially for washing our dogs!) and took him out to her truck to do the fluff n scissoring. I was a bit uncertain about him being in our driveway on a busy street as he is a bolter, especially without a collar on, but Catherine kept him safe the whole time. I asked that his face was kept to a rounded puppy look with short ears and she did a really nice job. I also requested she shave his paws, the first time we have tried this, since sand and plant matter are always stuck to his fur and he chews away at his paws after every walk. He looked odd to begin with having never had poodle paws, but it is beginning to grow on me and I think it is going to make a huge difference to him. He looks like he has had a pawdicure....hahahaha. His nails are nicely trimmed and the fur perfectly shaved around each toe pad. A great job on a dog who doesn't like his feet touched! Catherine was kind and careful with my soul puppy, and he was happy to be with her, which isn't always the case with groomers in his past. If you are looking for a groomer for a dog who doesn't like the car, or going to a grooming salon, is older, younger or you are house bound this is the groomer for you. The groom was $75 which is the going rate on the island for salon groomers. I had actually expected the groom to be more expensive so I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you Catherine, Finn looks fantastic :)

She took the time to ask questions- take a full history of medical problems and allergies and likes and dislikes before hand and spent the time with me which was very appreciated. She was in no rush and just did a phenomenal job! My dog looks and feels gorgeous! She didn't get shaved to the bone for no reason as the Bubble Wash people did and she returns calls quickly and is available and accommodating unlike Allison of Pawsitively Purrfect. Her prices are very reasonable as well. Please do note that her address is wrong both here and online! Her address is 8 Hale,Makai Place in Kahana Maui.

To be clear, this review is limited to my observations at the dog evaluation. I can't speak to the…read moreactual boarding service. The owner met our dog and said she wouldn't take him. There is only one of her, and he has a lot of energy so this is understandable. However, her attitude and some of her training methods left me very concerned. My dog is terrified of everything. He is the type of Scooby-Doo dog who will leap in your arms if he hears a strange noise. He is also very weary of new people but has been socialized with other dogs under professional supervised settings his entire life, with no issue. Naturally when he first saw the owner he started to bark. Before I even had a chance to calm him down, she stated that he displayed "alpha" tendencies. This was within the first 30 seconds of meeting him. I attempted to explain that we have worked extensively with a trainer with a doctorate in animal psychology and that was not her assessment at all, but she ignored me, saying "he needs training." She then started talking about how he needs a bark collar. Admittedly these aren't shock collars, but between her use of the term "alpha", the discussion of a bark collar and her comment about "no treats" it suggests to me that her ideas of training are very different from mine. I prefer positive reinforcement, and tools like treats or toys the dog will enjoy, to inspire confidence and trust. Our dog did get to meet the other dogs, and aside from one time when he sharply barked once at another dog, and another time when he was starting to growl while initiating play (totally common in dogs, even Labradors) she freaked out. The owner proceeded to state blatant lies about how German Shepherds are the #1 biters (they're not, Chihuahuas are). As a person who has owned German Shepherds for over 30 years, I take great umbrage at her comments, not to mention that my current dog has no German Shepherd in him whatsoever. TLDR: If the owner didn't want to board our dog, that's fine. But to treat him like a red zone case ready to attack was not okay.

Dr Knee did a great job of explaining the possible reasons of my cat's problem ear, discussing options as well. He gave him a steroid shot and had his ears cleaned by the tech. What I really liked about him is he asked to first sit and discuss the issues before pulling my cat out of carrier. So many times at other veterinary places they often do all the talking while the cat is just sitting there on exam table acting nervous! I felt it was a very thorough exam and the pricing is about the same as other veterinarian offices. He was very personable and professional. I am glad to have found a new vet doctor for my cat. Mahalo!
