Let me start off by saying that I never thought I'd be posting this review. We've praised this…read moreplace for YEARS, recommending it to every single one of our friends. We've been customers since 2019, bringing our golden retriever and our Samoyed to get groomed every two months. We would even drive 40 minutes each way to drop them off every time because we loved this place. Not even the $350 price tag at every appt kept us from coming back. I'm pregnant and had a very important scan at the hospital today. Given that we have two large dogs, it's usually very hard to get an appointment. Last week I scheduled an appointment for today and explained that we would be dropping off the dogs on the way to my appointment which was at 12:30. They confirmed that was fine and not an issue at all. We arrived at 11:45 and were told that we were too late to our appointment and they could not accommodate us with an insanely rude attitude. I explained the situation and what I had originally been told on the phone, to which they responded with "it wasn't me you spoke to." I explained that we've been loyal customers for 7 years, and that we always get a call if we're more than 5 minutes late. We didn't get one today. They told me "they never call" lol. I kept explaining about our unique circumstances and if there was anything they could do to help, to which they replied "no." We ended up having to drive 45 minutes back home to drop off our dogs, and beg the hospital to squeeze me in 45 minutes late to my appointment. The amount of anxiety they caused me was just unnecessary. But that's not even what bothered me the most. It was the utter lack of empathy, and understanding we were shown despite being loyal customers for over 7 years. No apology for their miscommunication, just the absolute worst attitude I've received as a customer in a while. TLDR; if you have big dogs, go somewhere else. Theres a reason their instagram only shows small dogs, they really don't have the capacity to handle big dogs with any margin of error, even if the error is their own. Time to find a new place.

Everybody at DOGUE is so kind and they treat our dogs as it's their dogs. I love when I'm in town I know I can bring her over and she will be taken care! Thank you guys!

With summer coming around the corner, I decided to take him here to get both a bath and grooming. As I was waiting at home, they were fast to let me know via text when he would be done. It was amazing to see this raggedy old dog turn into this handsome stud! Teddy, as always, was so nervous at first, but come by the time to pick him up he was so comfortable around them. They truly are Teddy's fairy dogmothers and I am so pleased with their service! This was a great experience as they have made Teddy and me feel better about going there, we have definitely become Best Of Breed customers for sure!

I knew I was never going back when the staff was also bad mouthing the groomer. Apparently this happens a lot there. I recommended a friend to this place and her dog was shaved down to the skin. The owner responded "shit happens" . No, sorry. If you love your dog do not go here. You've been warned.

Never again. I've owned many dogs. Poodles, Maltese, mixed shedding breeds and never ever did I…read morehave a dog come home bloody and also without any concern from the groomer or staff. When I asked to speak w the groomer she would t come out. When I called they told me it was normal and it happens. At the desk I said oh gosh what happened and she said oh idk that happens if they wiggle. My dog is never a problem at the vet or the groomer. I had to go straight to the vet from the groomer. He had to go on antibiotics and have wound care. I called asking them to cover the bill of about 200 and they refused to speak with me or work with me. After that I decided never again and I told and showed the community what they did. This was a while ago but as I was searching for a groomer today I came upon this one and decided it deserved a review. This is to protect all the voiceless pups out there and to alert owners that if you love your dog don't go here. Hurting a dog accidentally and owning it and apologizing is one thing. Being nasty and difficult and saying this is normal is not ok. A simple apology and pleasant attitude fits a long way.

Our lab, Rory, loves coming here and gets so excited when we pull in the parking lot. I wish they had live cameras so we could check in on our guy when he's boarding. They do post pictures on Facebook/instagram but your dog won't always be included unless you pay for it. Other than that, we have loved our experience here.

I have been coming here for approximately 8 years now. At first it was just Cupcake,…read moreMy pure bred Maltese. Cupcake loves being groomed but did not like being in a cage or being blow dried and Bonnie, the owner of Canine Designs, made sure to give Cupcake the extra love and attention he needs. Fast forward five years later and Cupcake has a girlfriend. Her name is Waffles. And she is a pure bred shih tzu. She is full of energy and very lovable. She has completely different fur than cupcake. Cupcake has hair where Waffles definitely has more of a fur. Waffles loves going there as much as Cupcake does. They get to see other dogs. Get pampered by Bonnie and the ladies. Then one day we took Waffles to get fixed and oops, too late she was pregnant. Waffles delivered five beautiful Malshi puppies! Four boys and one girl. And my entire life changed. Nothing gave me so much pleasure than to come home and have all these little faces looking up at me. I showed up at Bonnies with my two dogs and the whole puppy family for their first baths. Bonnie and her ladies Andrea and the rest of the gang were in love! They were so gentle with Waffles Babies. Washing each one. Fluffing them up. And getting ready for their new forever homes. She was VERY REASONABLE in price when I needed it the most! Seven dog grooming could leave anyone broke! I kept two puppies. Big Fluff and Groucho. I couldn't decide which one to keep and kept two. I spend a huge portion of my life being a mother to four dogs and living up to the expectation that brings. Big fluff and Groucho are Malshi and they have the best traits of their parents with a mix of fur type. Again Bonnie works with me because she knows it's expensive for Four dogs to get groomed. Bonnie, Andrea, and the rest of the ladies at Canine Designs are my extended family for my dogs. They know Groucho has sensitive ears that have to get cleaned often and cupcake has skin allergies and they live my dogs like I love them. You would be insane not To use their services for your pets.

The app is super easy to use, but doesn't lack a personal touch. Ashley came over to meet with us before assigning us a walker, and even helped us find a local vet.

Our dog has skin issues and can be fussy in bad weather but they're always patient and give him play time. 11/10 would recommend.
