I've been taking my dogs there a few years and let me tell you.every time I take my dogs there their private parts are nicked and they are scared to even get back in the car for 2 weeks. I specifically have directions on how I want my dogs to be groomed to the person who took the appointment and the groomer Cindy,(whatever her name was) to keep my dogs face and to give them puppy cuts to both. My dog ended up being shaved to the bone I'll post a picture of him but absolute worst grooming service I've been too and enough is enough! read more

Shaggy Dog - This is a Pomeranian? Could you have guessed? - Pet Stores Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

This place sells very sick puppies with parvovirus. You won't know they are sick until shortly after you get them home where you'll quickly realize that your beloved new family member is very I'll and needs emergency veterinary care whichever will cost you hundreds, if not thousands. When you call Donna, the owner, she will refuse any responsibility. This place also groom's and has had dogs die from being soaked in chemicals. Google it; it's verifiable. Please do not support this horrible business! Let's shut their doors once and for all so no more dogs have to suffer because of this awful place! read more

I bought a golden doodle from here and been paying for three years of complications. First my dog was diagnosed with having grand mal seizures at the age of 1. He is now 3 and has arthritis in his hips. Won't jump or do stairs anymore. It's painful to watch your dog in pain all the time.Sure glad to see they've shut the damn doors to this overbreeding/ inbreeding unethical cruel place. Now it's time for me to go drug my dog so he isn't in pain. Hope the owner and breeders experience cruel things in their life. read more

Great place if you'd like to purchase a dog that has been in a litter with other dogs carrying extremely contagious and potentially deadly viruses. (You'll find out after purchase of course) After a visit with a veterinarian, where you're told the dog is extremely ill, you will then contact the company only to be called a liar. It's like a puppy mill in the middle of Shelby. read more

This DESPICABLE place was brought to my attention after a friend of a friend's dog was found to be severely sick after purchase!! After further review, this has happened to MULTIPLE dogs and they have killed a dog while it was there for grooming!! Spread the word and get this puppy mill shut down!! Don't shop, adopt...if you "have to have" pure bred dogs there are rescues of nearly every breed young and old if you take the time to research just a little and not go through breeders and puppy mills!! DISGUSTED!! SPREAD THE WORD!! SHUT IT DOWN!! read more

How is this place back in business? Please do not adopt any fogs here are get grooming. My fog was sick all the time. Fellow patrons same thing. UNREAL read more

I would like everyone to share this! Meet Brody our new little family member that we brought home on Friday. Yesterday he became ill and we took him to Macomb Veterinary because the owner of Shaggy Dog, where we purchased him from, in Shelby Twp asked us too. When the Vet called me this am to update me with awful news that our little guy has Parvovirus the owner Donna from Shaggy Dog actually said the vet was lying! We had to pick up our baby and take him to Wilson's Veterinarian hospital so he could continue treatment. Donna the owner actually had the nerve to tell me that if I took the puppy to Wilson's that she would not pay the vet bill...that I would be responsible. Well we picked up our guy and we took him to Wilsons...she will pay the vet bill. We learned while there that they have had several issues with shaggy dog and this deadly virus. Once again I called Donna and I was called a liar. Well Donna as promised...I will shut you down. Oh yes and when I asked her if she contacted any other individuals who purchased puppies because the virus is so contagious she told me NO. When I told her what I learned at Wilsons she said there was only one other puppy that she was aware of. Hey Donna...one is too many. I told her I would not allow another family to go through what we are going through. Everyone please share this. These puppies need to be tested asap. She knew of the illness and failed to do anything about it. Help me get the word out...please read more

I love going into the store, the people are so friendly and helpful. I have gotten both of my puppies here and the experience was terrific. I have two happy, healthy puppies that I just adore. I love the fact that they have the puppies out playing on the floor instead of being kept in cages all day. I have taken my puppies for training and grooming, and it has always been a positive experience. I have recommended the store often and know several other people who are just in love with their new puppy addition to their family. I highly recommend the store! read more

There seems to be some false advertising going on at this store. On Saturday, August 4th, 2012 I visited Shaggy Dog (47567 Van Dyke, Shelby, MI) after seeing their "Rescue Dog Adoption" sign up by the road. My boyfriend and I have been looking through shelters for a couple of weeks and haven't found any small breed puppies. When I saw the sign while running errands that day; I decided to stop in and browse. I offered to donate to the rescue group that I thought was leaving their dogs at the store since by boyfriend wasnt with me and I couldnt actually adopt one that day. This is when I found out they were not rescued dogs at all!! The woman got a little flustered when I offered to make a donation and said, Oh.. well thats very nice of you but "you dont have to". Then I said I would really like to because I know how much trouble rescues can have financially. She seemed oddly resistant to my donation and I've never experienced that before... usually nonprofits are open to receiving donations. So she responded by telling me that they were not from a rescue, that she has two rescued dogs in the back room, and if I would like to see them. And she shows me two small dogs in the back room with a bunch of junk... no adoption fee near them or anything that might suggest to me that she was actually trying to get them adopted. If I hadnt asked I wouldnt have even known they were there. So, apparently, the dogs at the front were just dogs for sale like at any pet store, and I didnt see any information as to where they had come from. I consider this false advertising -- I felt like the sign was just a way to get me in the store. I spent time playing with the puppies thinking they needed homes. The salesperson didn't actively assist me in selecting the right one for us, she just watched me from a distance as I asked her questions about the puppies. And after I had seen the "rescue" puppies in the back, she told me to come back some other time even though I wasn't ready to leave... I felt unwelcome. Aside from feeling lied to, my concern is that these dogs are not part of some non-profit organization and the store is making money on dogs off of people who are unsuspecting and assume they're adopting. How sad.. read more

DO NOT BUY ANY PUPPIES FROM THE SHAGGY DOG PUPPIES!!! The owner Donna sells sick puppies. We bought a puppy from her on Tuesday May 27, 2014 and by Saturday May 3, 2014 our puppy was in the hospital where the poor girl spent 5 days with pneumonia. Today June 11, 2014 she is still sick and has to keep going back to the vet. The bills for her are very high at this point. Donna the owner, told me that she does not feel this is her fault, she then proceeded to tell me lies that she say's my vet told her, saying this was my fault and the puppy got sick at my house, which he did not say. Her lungs were both to full of fluid to have gotten it while with me.When I tried to explain this to Donna she turned into "Dr. Google" and offered to send me links on what she found. I can find just as much online backing me up, however I choose to listen to the vet. I wish that I would have done research on this puppy store, and her sister that is the breeder of the puppy that I bought. I have also recently found out that her sister that is the breeder lost her license to breed around 2009 for the kennel she ran called PD Kennels. If I would have done my research on this store, I never would have gone here. I also found it rather odd that the last good reviews for this store were around 2012, the same time she had protesters at her store. Please google this store, or any puppy store before you decide to buy. I also did not receive any paper work on the puppys birth or parents, something I didn't think of at the time. I am happy that we have our puppy, even if she is still sick, that little girl has my heart, but I would not want to see this happen to anyone else. I will say this one good thing about the store. www.paw-rescue.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_breedersandpetshops.php read more
