    I've been using modern dog since they opened to wash my dog. What I love most about the place is the staff. The staff is always full of good energy, they're always willing to go above and beyond to either help or answer any questions you may have while washing your dog. This place is worth a try

    We spent such a long time trying to find a groomer that can do both an anal gland expression and nail trim for our fussy little chihuahua and I'm absolutely glad we called The Modern Dog at Marina Bay! We couldn't find an appointment on such a short notice (she was scooting her butt), and not a lot of groomers I found offer walk-in services during this time, which is completely understandable. If you are looking to have an anal gland expression for your dog, I would recommend calling in before stopping by like we did, just so that you can arrive when there's a specialist available! I also recommend letting the groomer know of any behavioral issues that may pop-up so they can properly handle it. I unfortunately did not get the groomer's name, but she did an excellent job with our dog! She asked us to restrain her while she gets her nail trimmed and glands expressed, which we didn't mind at all. Our dog's nails were quickly trimmed and her glands were quickly expressed and she promptly took a nap in her crate after. The facility itself is very clean and there is hand sanitizer at the front door and counter! There's also a variety of high-quality treats and other dog goods offered, and I made sure to pick up a bully stick and some chicken jerky for our dog to enjoy after her visit! It was really hard to just pick one treat because there were so many excellent options, and it's great being able to see the chews and such in-person so you can tell exactly what your dog is getting. I included a picture of our dog enjoying a bully stick, it was of the smaller ones offered there and she's been at it for a while and did not get through much of it. I can tell that this will last for a long time, which is what I look for in these types of chews! Overall, I really enjoyed our visit and I definitely would recommend others to stop by, whether it's for grooming services or just buying some very nice treats and/or toys for your dog!

    My dogs nails

    Have got my dogs nails clipped here for months now and never had any problems and enjoyed the service every time until today. The lady who took care of my dog was off putting and seemed like she wanted nothing to do with me or my dog. Every time I've gone here a staff member gently picks her up and places her on the table. This time she forced my 13 year old dog to jump up several feet onto the table. My dog was shaking because she knew she couldn't make the jump. Next she butchered my poor dogs nails making them uneven or way too short. Normally I get greeted with a smile and a thorough job in terms of an even clip and a nice filing down of her nails. I got the opposite this time around. My dog won't let me touch her paws and seems like she's in pain from the poor job. Ultimately, I'm just shocked of the poor service I've received because I used to being extremely satisfied. Considering taking my business elsewhere.

    I have a very large (and extra friendly) polar bear as a pup, he's a 2 year old Bouvier Des…read moreFlandres easily over 120 pounds and is hypoallergenic which means lots of special attention and care (as if he doesn't get enough of that already) Jen at Groom With Me is number ?? 8 on my grooming list of try's and it's sad to say it's taken this long to find someone who is not only up to the challenge of my taking care of my boy but also qualified enough to as well!! Thanks goodness we finally found that with Jen!! Ladies and gentlemen I could not recommend a groomer more for your fur babies, not only is she utterly exceptional with her work, she offers classes on how to help maintain tough coats and how to take care of your baby even more ! Crouton (my little salad) has found a new calmness in going to the groomers ! Something I truly was confident in But all of that just goes to show this is a place to trust. I'm not a fan of leaving my guy anywhere, separation anxiety is REAL, but I couldn't be happier with our decision to find AND STAY with Groom With Me ! Thank you so much again! WE WILL BE BACK

    We are completely spoiled by and grateful for Jen's grooming talents. Not only is she extremely…read morethorough in her work, but she also has an incredible ability to see each dog's personality and ensure their cut and style reflects that. I am especially appreciative that Jen took the time to hear about my dog's daily life (read: 24/7 running through prickers and digging holes to the other side of the world.) Jen groomed our dog in a way that makes her incredibly easy to keep clean in between appointments. No other groomer has taken the time to do that! I work from home and am elated that I can work in my office while Jen's mobile grooming van is in our driveway. The time that I save and the service I get makes using Groom With Me an absolute no-brainer.

    Fellow pet parents stay away from this whole company let alone this hospital. Go to banfield and…read moresign up for their care plan. I was a VCA customer from the moment I got my baby cat in 2020. I started at VCA city cats Arlington and then went to this place. I have never been scammed out of so much money. It's truly such a disappointment to know these people will let's things get worst before the get better. I thought my cat was having a hard time with the fact that I had a baby in 2024 she's one now.. He wasn't eating and I expressed all of my concerns.They suggested a blood test and charged 340.00 nothing was done other than a general evaluation and some injections. I was there 20 min at most (the blood test not included in the cost) After reading the test and speaking to the clinic i was told my cat had gingivitis. I was so confused as to how this slipped the doctors mind after expressing his weird eating habits and expecting good care this expensive company. when I called to complain of this oversight instead of being offered actual help I was told offered their VCA care plan (thats wouldn't cover the suggested exams) for 175 a month. Then I asked for a quote for the exams and I was quoted 500 for blood panel and 2000 for teeth cleaning. I couldn't believe It.. in this economy. After researching I found BANFIELD. They charged me 85 month plus their one time membership fee....for a care plan that includes the blood work teeth cleaning and the urine analysis I had to do because we kept getting abnormal results.. currently I have a cat with STAGE TWO kidney disease my cat is 5 years old and a pure bread bengal ..he's too young to be going through this. He's probably been dealing with this for a while - under their care and VCA never ever suggested blood work or poop sample or anything remotely close to be seen as routine work in his whole life. They never suggested teeth cleaning..ever. It absolutely ridiculous to think that I paid so much for "quality of care" and all I got was horrible care and wasted so much money. They wait for crap to hit the fan so they can charge you an arm and a leg. From a broken hearted cat mom. VCA you know who I am. Don't contact me unless it's with a refund
