    I've been taking my dog here for almost 10 years. Laurie is friendly and knowledgeable.

    In the Dog House - Sparkle after a trip to see Miss Pam.  Pam's the only groomer that Sparkle will allow to get near her with a pair of scissors.

    I see other reviews with the same complaints as me. That's sad. I was a loyal customer for YEARS…read morewith five little dogs and she was a wonderful groomer. In the midst of moving, we missed an appointment. A few months later, a chemo appointment went long, and we were late for another appointment. She then, in all her abrupt rudeness, told us she didn't want our business any more - after many years and thousands upon thousands of dollars. She lost a customer who never argued about price or tip. She didn't think, she just went with her mean knee-jerk reaction. She can be rude and impertinent. It's been a few years, but we'll never forget this scowling woman. With someone on the edge like she, I wouldn't leave a helpless animal with her. The only reason I'm posting this now is that I saw her in a store recently and it brought up the bad feelings. Maya Angelou once said, "...people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

    If you want your dog groomed correctly, and expertly, then Pam is the lady to see (Pam's the…read moreowner-operator and groomer of In The Doghouse). My dog Sparkle, a Bichon, goes in looking like a tramp and comes out looking like a little princess. It's really tough to groom my little "Beagle wannabe" since she is often muddy and knotted from her playtime each day in the park. Appointments are important since In The Doghouse is a one woman operation. I would say to give Pam at least a week's lead time and at Holidays two to three weeks lead time will be necessary. Pam's worth it and there's no other groomer I would trust with my sweet little dog.
