    Pretty Puggle!!
    Shelley M.

    Love Valerie's Paw spa!! Took my puggle, Taco there to get her a D-shed and Hannah did such an amazing job. Will definitely be making an appointment again with her in another 6 weeks like she recommended. Taco is so soft and no more crazy puffs of hair everywhere. She is so happy too! Thank you so much for getting Taco in today and making her look so beautiful!

    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.

I think all of us understand our fur babies might get a light nick from time to time. That being said, a month ago their groomer deeply cut both pups on both of their ears on both sides. Because the cuts and they were cuts not nicks, were covered in something like liquid bandage I didn't notice until the second day. When I called Steve the owner answered and after explaining what the situation was he said take them to the vet and bring the bill. Which I did on a Sunday. Meanwhile he would speak with their groomer Nina. Well, when I visited him with the bill he did a full 180 and interjected Nina into the mix who denied cutting their ears, telling me it was from them shaking their heads. Long story short. If they injure your fur babies they will not stand accountable. They will basically tell you, don't believe your lying eyes, that it's your puppies fault. At basically $300 per visit for both pups you would expect an honest response. In closing, I would never recommend them to anyone and if you do use them, know the moment you confront them for injuries, their charming facade will go out the window, when all the need to do is own up to what happened and cover the vet bill. Oh, Steve insisted he need a detailed itemization explanation on the bill. Now we all know that vets even human doctors most times do not have the time to write a story. And if you have to deal with this when Steve tells you how Nina has a medical background, don't believe it because if she does, she could easily understand what the prescription are use to treat. Fur babies parents beware.

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.

We had already let them know ahead of time that she's extremely active and that it was her very first grooming appointment. They later told us she wasn't comfortable with the clippers, so they were only able to trim her hair with scissors and said that was the best they could do. After that experience, we decided to reach out to At Your Door Mobile Pet Grooming because we were worried other groomers might turn us away due to how difficult our pup can be. We also felt more comfortable having the groomer right outside our home in case any issues came up during the appointment. From our very first interaction, we shared all of our concerns, and they immediately reassured us by saying, "We will work with her," without any hesitation. Their pricing was a little higher than other groomers, but honestly, the convenience and peace of mind made it completely worth it. MELINDA is AMAZING!!! She did such a fantastic job on our pup's haircut, and her patience was truly unmatched. You can genuinely tell she loves what she does and takes pride in her work. Thank you so much, Melinda! We appreciate everything you did for our Nugget, and we will definitely be booking with you again next time!

Instead of being helpful, she immediately tried to upsell me and quoted $130 for grooming my small poodle. That's the same price my friend pays for her large dog, which makes no sense. When I questioned the pricing, she kept talking over me rather than addressing my concerns. She even claimed that because I don't come in often, my price would be higher--which feels completely unfair and inconsistent. I've never paid $130 for my small dog before, so it honestly seems like they're just changing prices to make more money. Very disappointing experience, Especially coming from a manager.

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.
