This review is difficult for me to write, I am so upset. We took our three miniature schnauzers to…read morethis groomer for a regular grooming. They had been sprayed by a skunk the week before but we had bathed them multiple times and only two smelled when we brought them in. The groomer literally shaved them so bare that their skin in showing. They removed their beards and their eyebrows. Our animals are not even recognizable anymore. The pink of their flesh shows all over their bodies. They also gouged one of our dog's ears so significantly that I fear it may need stitches and we will be taking him to an emergency vet tomorrow for follow up. In fact, they cut all three of our dogs but only admitted to one. Once we got them home, we noticed they had cut our female's ear and our other male's foot. They gave us a $10 reduction in price for cutting his ear - which is ridiculous. They charged us $128 to basically just shave our dogs until they had no hair left at all. I realize getting rid of a skunk smell can be difficult but other groomers use special shampoo or at least leave a little hair. We will NEVER be back. WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I've been bringing my dog to Central Bark Doggie Daycare in Broadview Heights for grooming for over…read more10 years. In that entire time, I have never missed a single appointment. Even when they've canceled on me at the last minute and put me in difficult situations, I continued to support them and even referred others. at the This is no reflection on the groomer. I am hoping they didn't tell her. About a month ago, my younger brother passed away unexpectedly. That same week, I missed a grooming appointment -- the first one I've ever missed -- and realized it about an hour later. I immediately called to reschedule. Instead of any understanding, I was told I would be charged a $35 rescheduling fee. I explained the situation, apologized, and even offered to tip the groomer extra. The woman on the phone was rude, completely unsympathetic, and told me they could not book another appointment unless I paid the fee, even offering to charge the card on file. I declined and then emailed the owners. It's now been about a month, and I have received no response. I understand policies exist, and I even understand that the employee was likely just following them. But as a business owner myself, I also understand that there are moments where compassion and common sense should outweigh rigid rules -- especially for a loyal customer of over a decade. I don't typically leave negative reviews until I've exhausted every avenue with management, but the lack of response speaks volumes. For the sake of a $35 fee, you've lost a loyal customer of 10+ years. That's incredibly disappointing. Do better, Central Bark.

I can't ever imagine taking him anywhere else, because the quality and service Amy provides is truly exceptional. Now, to be honest, Bud can be a bit difficult to groom as I suspect he had trauma in his life. He's not aggressive, but wiggly and difficult. Amy is so patient with my little old man and will work tirelessly to do the best job she can. Once when we arrived to pick him up, she was calmly sitting with him in a chair, trying to do gentle little snip snips as he would grumpily allow. His appointment was technically over, but she was still committed to giving him the best haircut possible. That patience and love meant a lot to me. That image sticks with me! The Grooming Station is a one-dog-at-a-time local business, so do you don't have to worry about other dogs barking, especially if yours is anxious. You can feel good about leaving your pooch in the capable hands of this loving, clean, and talented groomer!

After my groomer, who was coming to my home, decided to take a hiatus ( without any warning or…read morenotice) We were left somewhat panicked. That groomer also worked at a dog Salon, which was an option, but the recent YELP reviews were awful. Our dog is a puppy mill rescue, who had been abused and can be fear aggressive when confined with anything around her neck. She's never bitten anyone but gets snappy if you pull on her. So we need a groomer who gets that..... 95% of the time this dog is a lap dog, desperate for affection. She's also actually afraid of people and other dogs, terrified of cages,( she was in a cage for the first two years of her life)which is why going to a regular dog Salon was the least favorite option. So enter Furryland! We have had two groomers. Both were excellent. Both listened beforehand to her history and her trigger points. Amanda now has been her groomer the last few times and the actual grooming is terrific. She really did what I asked regarding her ears, which is difficult on a Doodle. Our original groomer just always kind of did it her way. Lol. But most importantly, our dog wasn't stressed. And before anyone asks, we have always used vet prescribed sedation to reduce anxiety. But it didn't yield the same results with our prior home groomer. So overall, the grooming results were terrific, the commutation via text while your pup is in the van is excellent, the personality and listening skills of both Amanda and staff have been so pleasant to deal with.
