Wags is a full service grooming salon for all breeds of dogs and cats. Started by the Mallore…read morefamily after a life changing closure of an old business, they once boarded their dog who did not had a great experience. They decided they could do better, so they started Wags. Their salon is designed for a completely stress-free grooming experience. Along with gentle handling, they say your your furry companion will be pampered with the finest pet care products. My wife and I have had dogs for close to 10 years, but always had breeds that didn't require grooming. We recently inherited a little shih tzu a little over a year ago who needs regular grooming, and living out in Marietta, the wife and I looked for a place somewhat close to home to get him groomed. Wags is 10 minutes away and had good reviews, so we took him. He has been there several times since and they always do a good job. He goes in looking homeless and disheveled and comes out looking like he turned his life around. The groomers are always friendly and are usually able to fit us in somewhere within a week of us calling. Wags is a complete pet center as well, offering boarding and doggy daycare in addition to grooming and a self serve pet wash as well. Each dog gets its own room but is not left alone all day, and Mallore's sons -- who now run the business -- take each dog outside to go to the bathroom and take a walk rather than simply letting them outdoors on their own. We usually only use their grooming service, but have also left him for a couple hours of daycare before a grooming to get him nice and tired out. The prices are fair and he is always done by the end of the day. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because, I believe only the second time we left him to get groomed, we dropped him off about 9 in the morning. They said they'd call us when he was done, and around 5 pm, which is when they close, we still hadn't heard from them. I was out running errands anyway, so I stopped in, figuring he had to have been done or close to it. When I walked in, one of the groomers was working on a dog, while the other was sitting on the floor playing with another dog. I asked about my dog, and was told he hadn't been started yet. The groomer sitting on the floor goes "well, I can start him now if you wanna wait for him." Well, yeah, he's been here for 8 hours already, you're technically closed at this point, and you're sitting on the floor instead of working on my dog. Put a somewhat bad taste in my mouth at the time seeing as he'd already been there a full day, and who knows how much time had been wasted that he could've been worked on and home earlier. So I waited there another half hour for him to be done. Other than that experience, they have always been good, and we will continue to bring him here as long as we live near.

I called them to watch my dog, a client they've watched before, but because I moved *gasp* to a different area in Skaneateles, they're no longer able to watch my baby. To say I'm livid is an understatement. "We'd have to charge you extra for mileage." Because I moved less than a mile down the road from my previous address, and yet closer than the address before my current one. I will not use them for anything in the future. Bubble bus or pet sitting. I am a repeat client who tips, but no. Apparently you have to have the right name. Absolutely disgusted. Now I have to introduce my baby to a new person/service because the owner isn't aware of the area and how minimal my move was. She wasn't even aware that the address at which I last had services was farther away than my current address. Find someone who actually wants to run a business and cares about the animals.

Gravy is dog reactive, so I was apprehensive about boarding him with other dogs. The staff there have been amazingly accommodating with him, and there's never been a major incident. When one minor incident did occur, to no fault of the staff, they called me immediately to let me know what was going on. Gravy seems genuinely excited to get dropped off there, and the staff seems to love him. The photos they take of him each day reassure me that he's having a fantastic time. I can't imagine going to another boarding facility.

We have a 4 year old Great Pyrenees mix and he was in rough shape. But thanks to Dogz Gone Wild, they fixed him right up!

He came home happy and looks like a brand new dog. The staff is so friendly and communicate really well. We were updated the whole time. They took the time to really care for our dog and did a thorough job. We can't wait to see them in 8 weeks when Teddy goes back!!

Both dogs are beautiful, incredibly healthy, and have been amazing additions to our family. And I really can't say enough good things about Famn Damily. I've been there twice now. With my family. In both cases we drove 240 miles to get there, just because we realized what a special place it is, and because we knew we didn't want to get our puppies from any place else. You set foot on the farm, and you see dogs that are truly living their best lives. They have so much space to run and play, they are so well cared for, and so loved, and so clearly happy!! And healthy. And the facilities that have been constructed for the dogs, that clearly took a great deal of time, money and effort to build, are very impressive. Melodie Hammond runs the farm. And she's amazing. I know that my future dogs will be golden retrievers, simply because I know I only want to get puppies from Melodie, from Famn Damily, and Golden retrievers are what she breeds. The last thing I said to Melodie when I left the farm yesterday was, "see you in another two years"

I have this image of him cowering in the corner of a 5' cell without windows alone all day with staff occasionally trying to get him to do stuff. Yes, our dog is anxious, but we let the staff know that during drop off and over the phone beforehand. When I picked him up, it was clear from the staff that our dog did very little during his 8 hours at the facility. Additionally, I was put off that the area where he was all day was "staff only" - no webcam? Finally - I did not read anywhere that he would not be wearing his collar all day at the facility. We have a GPS on it for his security.
