The shoer I had used for 8 years Rod Haggie I called and couldn't seem to make it out for 3 days. I didn't want anymore damage and needed to work cows at pdrc Monday. As I need to sedate horse to shoe her I would not be able to work cows, and also had her shut in barn 24 hours a day to prevent any other damage. Called Pete and he said that he would come out and at least put shoe on bad foot. Said he would call back in 45 minutes after he checked his day and would be out to help. Well 9 hours later no call, no text, nothing left me hi and dry just as haggie did. From where I come from we keep our word. The is also a word called integrity.

Our experience: our dog is shy around people. Not aggressive, but avoidant. Saw a review about easily getting a nail trim 2-4:30PM and thought I'd take advantage since he hates nail trims. I've grown up with dog groomer friends, and I expected a little professionalism. When I arrived, the woman, asked "Nail Trim?" Then asked me to bring him out front of the shop. I was confused, no paperwork, no info taken, she didn't even ask my dogs name. She told us to grab his head while she quickly went to work on his back paws. She grabbed them hard and my dog resisted as he does, she tightened and struggled with him but it was over quick. I was stunned, I've never seen a nail trim happen this way. I've always known groomers to use a table with restraints to safety immobilize the dog. I looked over his nails and noticed some shavings hanging and asked her if she could clean it up. She said " that's the best I can do if he's going to struggle like that" At that point, I knew this was going nowhere and I took my dog home. About 10 min later he began limping. I pushed it aside as maybe a nail was cut short, but 2 weeks later, we realized something was very wrong, as he now was putting no weight on the leg, and now we are going for a surgery consult. Such a nightmare, can't prove a thing but I will advise anyone I know, to avoid this shop for their pets safety.

We were referred Marcella and she was able to fit us in within a few days from our call. I thought she'd be rolling up in a van, but she comes with a huge truck that is completely outfitted for everything! She just plugs in and goes. She spent time with us on each cut and what we wanted and also asking about their personalities. The grooms were PERFECT and exactly what we wanted. Marcella was also insistent that if we didn't like it, to tell her so she could make it perfect. Best of all, little to no stress on our dogs. They were happy and not anxious at all. Definitely due to the home setting, but clearly how gentle Marcella was with them. I also love that she gave each one a kerchief. We absolutely hope to use her again. Thanks, Marcella!

There was only 1 lady working which is fine, but my dog resists nail trims as she doesn't like them. She took my dog to the other side of the fence at the front door and chained my dogs head to the fence. Let me explain. I completely understand needing to restrain the dog but she had my dogs head chained so tightly to the fence she couldn't move her neck at all. I was shocked and wasn't sure what to do at the moment. She started trimming my dogs nails and my dog started to freak out as she couldn't move her head and was panicking. My dog started yelping and crying so loud I had to walk out of the shop for a second to process I guess. I've never seen this before and I had no idea how to handle it. I could hear my dog started yelping and crying again and went back inside and told her to stop I don't want to do this anymore. I was in complete shock that she was willing to do all of that in front of me. I'd hate to know what they do when the owner isn't there. My dog now has really bad anxiety when she has to get her nails cut after that experience. I now take my dog to Classic Tails in Petaluma, the lady is great and my dog has never cried once going there.

Always great! My boys come out looking perfect!! They know how to cut and trim them perfectly!!!read more
