I board my high strung, whiny, spoiled fur baby here. He is a handful. He has separation anxiety…read more He is bratty and sometimes doesn't play well with others. They don't take any of his crap here. I like that. He needs it. They are kind and he always is happy to see me but is never traumatized as he has been at other places. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, he needed his nails cut. Which seems like a pretty simple procedure. NOT for this baby. He has sensitive feet and absolutely hates having his nails cut. In and out in like 7 minutes with his nails being cut as much as any human could have without sedating this dog. I was pretty impressed. Many times groomers have sent him out without a trim because he was too much. Not this groomer. Again, didn't take any of his crap. And he got his nails trimmed. Like it. They also have an excellent selection of dog treats and toys. Cheap, at least by my standards. Yes, I know he is a lot of work but please keep taking good care of my baby!

We took our senior dog here for grooming. It was the second time we took her there for grooming…read more Both times we were there, we immediately noted there to be an animal odor upon entering the business. There were 2 or 3 cats running loose and there was a large bird cage that needed cleaning. Both times we were not satisfied with the grooming our dog received. The grooming appeared choppy and uneven. We believe she was not bathed either time. The second time we were there, an employee was upset with us saying we were supposed to call before entering the building. We were told that it was for the safety of the customers and pets because they had problems with some aggressive animals. I cannot speak for the veterinarians, but Have heard they are good. We were very disappointed with grooming and the business in general. We will no longer be taking our dog there.

I can't say enough good things about XL Canine Rescue…read more Once upon a time there was a girl whose mom despised dogs. (More like Despise, with a capital D.) When she left the nest to go off to college, she desperately wanted a pupper but knew with classes she had no time-- yet. This girl had Great Danes on the brain. Because, you know, as a college student she had an apartment and they are notorious 'apartment dogs.' (Or so they say.) Also, did we mention her mom Despised dogs? A dog as big of a horse with jowls for days and endless drool would really get under her skin undoubtedly... which is all a twenty-something daughter could hope for. Well, years passed. Other dog breeds came into her life... but her desire for a Great Dane never faded. Alas, one day she found XL Canine Rescue and there was a gorgeous Dane, named Duchess. She didn't even consult her partner -- instantly putting in an application for the harlequin young lady. XL Canine contacted her right away and setup a virtual interview. The interview was thorough and informative. But, ultimately, Duchess wasn't for her family. The girl, now woman, was heartbroken. XL Canine promised to reach out if another Great Dane (that was dog friendly, kid friendly and non-aggressive) came their way. And you know what? ONE DID. Winston, a goofy black mantel Dane was a stray and seemed to fit the bill. He was currently being fostered with two other Danes in Illinois. (The rescue thought he was a match and reached out prior to him even being on the website.) The woman and her family drove an hour away to meet the leggy gentleman and introduce their sassy Boston Terrier, Ada. It was love at first sniff. The Great Dane is now in his fur-ever home, though his name is Marv now because he just wasn't as regal as a Winston should be. XL Canine Rescue was easy to work with, affordable, and really does have their dogs' best interests at heart. They definitely do their research on homes between the application and the interview-- as they really do want the adoption to workout. XL Canine Rescue has reached out periodically to ensure Marvin is thriving over the years. Checkout their website and adopt your own Marvin.
