    Quick efficient grooming. Was able to make a same day appt. Only took them about an hour to groom my short hair dog. Pricier than my other grooming experience somewhere around $65 for a bath, brush, and nails combo. and I did not like that they asked if I wanted to put a tip before they charged the card felt like pressure even with their higher prices.

    This is a response to the flat out lie of your reply, this is a picture a few days before we took him to you. you said on the phone you would never let an injured dog leave the shop without notifying the owners. you said that sometimes you cut a dog when it's matted and our dog was clearly not matted. When we called you, we clearly said we didn't want no one fired, but you guys need to take some accountability for injuring a dog'. My wife and I read through the comments and this happens constantly at your shop. You guys obviously are not taking very good care of these animals and this is a problem and you guys don't want to take no accountability. All you guys have is excuses.! Anyone that reads this please do not bring your animals to this shop. Please read all reviews. There are Injuries that are happening to peoples pets, this is not a safe place to bring your animals if you care about them.

    I've been taking my two dogs, Uni and Stella, to Leiyah for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Both dogs always look fantastic after their grooming sessions, and they're always well taken care of. Leiyah is patient, kind, and clearly loves animals, which puts my mind at ease every time I drop them off. I highly recommend Leiyah for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled groomer who genuinely cares about their pets!

    The so-called "scab" you hit. That's a FRESH WOUND.

    If you value your animals, especially senior animals, do NOT take them here. My sweet 12 year old boy came home completely limping. When we brought him in originally, he was walking completely fine. Not once did they tell us what happened. When we reached out after we got home and he was virtually unable to walk, we were immediately hit with excuse after excuse. He had his skin cut as well, and when we mentioned it, the groomer told us that it was a scab that she hit and that she "completely forgot to tell us." Did you forget to tell us, or did you not want us to know? We would have completely understood that accidents happen...we're just upset that we had to discover it first. Then, we reached the owner. She IMMEDIATELY was defensive and unapologetic, much like how she responds to other negative messages below. She then said, and this is verbatim, "there's no doubt in my mind that he would be sore and probably not able to walk very well after getting groomed by observing him during his whole time at the shop today he was unable to stand." If you had no doubt and KNEW he would be sore, why would you not communicate this to us? Would it have not eliminated so much stress and trouble by simply saying "He had a difficult time standing, he might show signs of soreness" ??? She then said it took multiple people to hold him up. So you're telling me that neither the owner, groomer or any of the "multiple people" felt the need to communicate with us, and it took us reaching out in order to get answers? Why would you not encourage your staff to be more gentle, or maybe attempt to find an alternative way that would help him be more comfortable, rather than apparently forcing him to stand? You were aware he'd be sore, but you allowed your staff to continue while you stood by and watched? You apparently knew that a dog would leave in pain AND HAVE WORSE MOBILITY ISSUES (yes, she said this!), but you allowed your staff to continue? Is that taking care of our pup, like you said you did? Is that "keeping him comfortable?" Every response she had further dug herself in a deeper hole. After posting about my experience on social media, I had multiple people reach out and say that they had bad experiences, too. Please, please take this as a warning and never visit Val's Paw Spa. There is zero accountability and it is somehow always the customer's fault. I'm fully prepared for a nasty response back, but I'd rather be gaslit than not warn people about how horrible this place and how horrible the staff (and specifically the owner) are. -- Update since the owner responded: See how quickly you were to say that he was in "terrible condition" and put the blame on us? We have ring camera footage showing our happy dog, excited for a car ride, walking completely fine. The "girl on camera" (which is not the "gotcha!" threat you think it is, by the way) was just making the staff aware that he is a SENIOR DOG and has a difficult time getting up onto high surfaces. So with your logic, because she told you guys that he can have difficult time, and making you aware that he is a senior dog that, it makes it justifiable for him to come out limping and unable to walk?? After literally admitting that you had no doubt he'd leave in worse condition? If that is too much to handle, why would you not turn us away? If he was in such "terrible condition," and you were worried about him, why would you accept him? We would have had no issue finding another option. I'm not surprised with your response -- it's exactly what I expected from you. It just continues to prove that there is zero accountability and that it's always the customer's fault first. Photos added to show how bad it was. Absolutely insane.

    We went a few times and had a good experience. The last time the groomer was incredibly rude and we won't be coming back.

I used Groomer on the Go for the first time today and I have to say, I have found my forever mobile groomer! Mayte is the sweetest and her genuine love for animals shines thru within the first second of speaking with her! I knew my two were in the BEST HANDS with her and Dina.

I requested to be contacted to schedule an appointment, yet an appointment was automatically scheduled. I texted the owner simply ASKING if there was anything in the morning. Her response of "y o u made the appointment" and "we have an appointment will you be there" was out of line. I eventually said to myself "maybe I messed up" and said the initial appointment would be fine. Fast forward to the day before the appointment and I get a confirmation for 2:30 (agreed upon time) and then later a confirmation for 3:30. The audacity to get annoyed when I simply asked about a different time and then CHANGE my time without asking is insane. As a groomer, she's fantastic. As a business owner, something drastically changed.

    Sad that I have to come update my review after having such a great experience for the past two…read moreyears with Ananda. I schedule my next grooming a month in advance each time and wasn't advised Ananda was no longer there until I arrived for my appointment in April. I was very hesitant to let someone new groom my dog but was assured the owner knew how to cut him the way I liked and that she wasn't going anywhere so he'd have a consistent groomer. I shared pictures of inspo and detail on how I wanted him cut but when I picked him up he looked nothing like what I asked. I didn't make a fuss and just figured maybe it was my direction. The second time I again shared what i wanted and referenced the photos also sharing what I didn't like from the previous experience. This time, he came out looking worse. His face looked like a lemur but with a double chin of hair. Again, super far off from what I expected and I was immediately unhappy. Not to mention, at this appointment they raised their price again for the 3rd time in less than a year. I paid, tipped and went home. The more I looked at my dog the more disappointed I was to where I had to put clothes on him to help the bad cut. Finally, I decided to message the groomer and express my disappointment and asked if she could fix it before our vacation the upcoming weekend. When I took him in, the energy was off. It was as if she wasn't upset with me for asking her to fix the cut she messed up on. No apology or anything. I knew at that moment he wouldn't be returning here. Very disappointed in my service after being a returning customer every single month for the past 2 years. And then, I hadn't cancelled my upcoming appointment yet but I received a text from Barkingham saying due to "unforeseen circumstances" they cancelled Rocky's next appointment lol he wasn't returning anyway (clearly) but it's the energy I was referring to as if I did something wrong by nicely and respectfully sharing my dissatisfaction with a service I paid $80 for. Again, just extremely disappointed that I even gave this business my money had I known that I would be treated this way for voicing that I didn't like how they cut my dog when it wasn't what I asked for. If this is how customers will be treated I definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere. It's not right. The owners response is odd. I'm glad I have screenshot photos to show her actual response with no apology or offer for corrective appointment. It was me asking for it. No apology was provided when I reached out and no apology was provided in person. When I brought him to his first appointment after Ananda left and I was made aware in that moment I was assured you as the owner knew exactly how to cut him and exactly what I liked. The owner assured me he was in good hands and she wasn't going anywhere. So this response is odd. And a different groomer is for a sure a better fit and that was already my decision to make. However, paying $80 for an uneven cut with my dog looking like a lemur wasn't going to suffice so I asked to just have him evened out all around. Pictures won't even show how he was all chopped up under his neck. 1 photo is before he was corrected after the terrible cut and it's clear he looks choppy and not like I asked. The photos the owner mentioned are "after" the corrective cut are from a previous grooming clearly because how did his fur magically grow back in all around his face? This is false advertisement and I never consented to having these photos taken or posted online. Again, as all potential clients can see none of the response was ever communicated to me in the texts of our communication shown or in person hence my review. I've referred a number of people to this establishment and will ensure I provide everyone an update on this experience.

    Definitely will be going back. Rebel is all nice and soft and they even made her a cute little…read moreornament
