I took my dog to be groomed at Tailwaggers this week. We hadn't ever been there before, but I had heard from other people that they did grooming. I called to set up an appointment and looked at the website, from which it seemed like an okay place to me. When I arrived to drop the dog off, I was less than impressed with the facilities. But the groomer seemed very nice. My dog is very friendly and will go up to anyone, so he seemed happy enough. However, they didn't seem to have any clue about the breed standard for my VERY common breed of dog. Also, they seemed annoyed that I asked for him not to be cage dried, as it not recommended for this breed. When they called (finally) to have my come pick up the dog, I said great- I'll be there in 10 minutes. When I arrived, less an 10 actual minutes later, they were apparently closed for lunch for 1 1/2 hours. It seems to me that the groomer could have told me that they would close for lunch on the phone. Also, I knocked and phoned and couldn't get anyone to answer, even though I could HEAR them in the back. When I finally did get a person 1 1/2 hours later, the groomer didn't even bother to come to to tell me what she did or how the dog was about being groomed. They basically hurried me for a check and did not even ask if there was anything else. Also, my dog was stressed for several days after the visit to the groomer (he usually likes going to the groomer and this has never happened any place else) and threw up when we got home later which he never does unless he is very stressed. Save yourself and your dog the headache and inconvenience, skip this place. read more
