    They made this photo of my puppy after grooming him!
    April R.

    On my way to pick up my dog who's be coming here consistently for 10 months now... his groomer sent me these photos!!! I am absolutely grinning from ear to ear and in love!!! I appreciate the quality care they provide to my Kylo Bear. I highly recommend this place!!!!!

    Absolutely wonderful groomers! Our dog LT is a large Bernedoodle and he loves to come here for his spa day! He always looks wonderful when we pick him up. The staff is very skilled and do wonderful doodle cuts. Excellent customer service as they are always so nice to our special pup!

    Worst place I have ever been to. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT WHAT YOU ASK FOR. I have two dogs one is a Siberian Husky and the other is a doodle mix about a medium size dog. I had come in to set an appoint for both of my dogs to be taken care of on the same day. My husky needed to be bathed, blown out and nails trimmed. My doodle mix needed a haircut and a bath plus nail and both have fleas so I asked for a flea treatment. The owner seemed nice at first telling me that everything will be taken care of. She gave me an estimate of 100-110 depending on the size of the dogs and that was included with EVERYTHING I asked to be done. That was cool and all u til I came in to their appointment just for her to switch up on me and tell me she couldn't bathe and haircut my doodle and take care of my husky. I was really upset because I had planned to flea bomb my home that same day, and she was aware of that. She offered to puppy sit for my doodle mix and do all the things for my husky. I agreed to that because I wasn't going to sit there and argue. I was desperate for my dogs to be groomed. She called me around closing time to pick up my dogs and I did and was trying to tell me to pay using card even though I already had cash ready in my hand. I put my dogs in my car and my Husky was sopping wet! I have leather seats and their was a puddle of water from where she was sitting. I was a little annoyed with that. I payed $90 for her and I was told I would be getting a cute spring picture of my dog that I NEVER recieved, when I got home she kept licking her paws and would not let me touch them and finally as I was able to take a close look I could tell they had trimmed her nails to far down and it was noticeable blood that dried up. But I figured why not give them the benefit of the doubt and second chance to reschedule an appoint for my doodle mix. (BIG MISTAKE) I had confirmed with her everything that I wanted to be done once again and even wrote it in my notes on my phone so I wouldn't forget what we had talked about. She gave me an exact estimate of $90 for him to be done after she had calculated everything in her "system". His appointment was at 2 pm and around 3:40pm she calle me and says he will be ready for pick up by 3:50 pm. 5 mins later she calls me FRANTICALLY telling me my dog is being TOO AGGRESSIVE. This is BS because that dog let's my 3 young children play rough with him and not once has he ever even baired his teeth towards them. He is the most patient most sweet boy I have ever met in my life. She tells me I need to pick him up now and how they had a muzzle on him but even with a muzzle on him they could not continue to cut his hair the way I wanted it. She proceeds to tell me I need to pay $100 Or she won't give me my dog until I payed her that amount. As I pulled up in front of the door she was already standing out side expecting me to pay before I could even take a look at my dog. I told her no I need to see my dog first. He looks scared in the kennel with the muzzle on partially. She tells me to take the muzzle off or he might bite her. I take it off just fine in front of her. His hair cut looks ridiculous his nails were not cut and he didn't even smell cleaned like he had a bath. Never again will I go there. Not a trust worthy place, extremely unprofessional. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but in the end I was just left angry and in regret for putting my babies through all that. I should have taken it as a sign that my dog didn't even want to go in there when we were trying to get in through the door. I wouldn't doubt if they are to rough or mean to the dogs when you are not around. Trust your instincts because I wish I trusted mine.

    We have been going to the Bark Chateu for years and the gals are just wonderful!! Our pups always look superb!! Even my little nervous Minnie girl does great! We love the Bark Chateau!

    Great place to bring our dog for grooming. The owners are awesome and BoBo always looks perfect when I pick him up from his day at the spa

    The absolute only place I trust to bring my doodle Teddy. Hands down this is the best place I've been to. Fantastic grooming, clean and organic products. If your super picky, this is your place. I'll keep spreading the word! Thanks ladies :)

They definitely know how to handle larger stubborn dogs without breaking their spirit. My dog is always excited when we drive there.

We take him there 2-3 times a week for daycare. He gets to run around and socialize with other dogs and gets the exercise we can't give him. When we can't take him along on adventures he stays there for boarding and is well taken care of I also appreciate how she is selective on which dogs stay. If they don't fit in they can not come back. Bonkers loves Terri and is so excited when we go there you can hear him from blocks away. I kind of hoped he would get over that but hey he is happy. Lol

The level of trust I have in her when it comes to caring for our girl is priceless. Whether it's our weekly doggy daycare visits or leaving my girl in her care while I'm away on a two-week vacation, I never have to worry. I know my dog is safe, happy, loved, and being cared for as if she were Terri's own. Terri has truly become like a second mom to my dog. The love she has for the doggies in her care is genuine, and it shows in how excited my dog is to see her. There is no better feeling when you're leaving town than knowing your dog is somewhere she loves to be, with someone you completely trust. One of the things I appreciate most about Terri is her open communication and flexibility. She is always approachable, responsive, accommodating, and willing to work with you. That kind of communication has given me so much confidence over the years and has turned what started as simply finding someone to care for my dog into a friendship I truly value. An unexpected bonus has been the wonderful little community at Wagging Tails. Getting to know the other doggies, their names, and personalities ...and their parents has been a bonus. Finding someone you trust completely with a member of your family is incredibly special, and that's exactly what I've found with Terri and Wagging Tails. I can go on vacation and genuinely relax because I know my dog is in loving, capable hands and having her own little vacation at the same time. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Wagging Tails to anyone looking for daycare or boarding. Terri isn't just someone who watches my dog -- she's someone who loves her, and that means everything to me.

Based on my experience on July 8 and July 9, I cannot recommend this company to other pet owners. I scheduled grooming appointments for both of my dogs and the groomer arrived late. After the grooming was completed, my dogs were left locked in kennels for an additional hour after their service was completed instead of anyone calling to let me know they were ready. I only found out they had finished because I called the store to check on them. I gave very specific instructions for each dog's haircut, and none of those instructions were followed. The grooming did not resemble what I had requested for either dog. When I called to request a refund due to both the poor grooming and overall experience, I was transferred between multiple employees before finally speaking with the supervisor, Carol. From the moment she answered the phone, her tone was unprofessional and dismissive. She told me that I could receive a refund, but only if I returned to that specific store. I explained that I had traveled a significant distance to that location and would not be able to make another trip just to receive a refund. She responded that returning to the store was my only option if I wanted my money back. When I asked her to please refund the original payment method instead, she stated that she "didn't have time for this" and hung up on me. Later that day, I returned to the store to request my refund. Coincidentally, Carol was my cashier and I asked why she had hung up on me, and she claimed it was because I had been yelling. That simply isn't true. If PetSmart reviews its recorded phone calls, they will hear that I never raised my voice, used profanity, or behaved unprofessional in any way. The two employees I spoke with before being transferred to Carol can also confirm that. During our conversation in the store, I asked whether I could have received my refund at another PetSmart location. Carol responded, "Oh yeah, you can get it at any location." Had she not hung up on me earlier, that information would have saved me a long drive back to the original store. When I pointed that out, she simply shrugged her shoulders and motioned for me to move along while processing the refund. As she counted cash from the register, I asked if she could please refund the purchase to my original form of payment instead. She ignored my question entirely and continued counting the money without acknowledging me. Only after she finished did she look up and say that debit card purchases are refunded in cash because "it's on the receipt." The entire experience--from the late appointments, poor grooming, lack of communication, inaccurate information, and dismissive customer service--was unacceptable. I expected much better from a company this size that people trust with the care of their pets. Carol, do better you old hag.
