It's never fun to write a not-great review. I'm giving 3-stars because there was no grooming...and…read moretherefore, I can't adequately rate that. However, I wanted to point-out something that I hope someone else can benefit from. You should know ahead of time: There is a 15-pound weight limit for dogs, and, perhaps stick with just Stacy as your groomer. You can actually stop reading right there, because the rest of the review is simply sharing my observations. Based on Dogs of Venice reviews, I was excited to have Stacy groom my Maltese. When I called, she got back to me quickly. She was booked out, but said her daughter (with 2 years of experience) could groom and she (Stacy) would oversee the cut. I brought my dog in at the appointment time and met Stacy, who was a lovely person--it's no wonder she has so many good reviews. I handed Stacy my dog, chatted a little (about the cut and about my pup), and headed out. Shortly after I got home, I received a call to come back--my dog was apparently over the weight limit. Stacy explained she has back issues and did not want to injure herself. This seemed strange because 1. my dog weighed 13.5 pounds at the vet last Tuesday and 2. Stacy's daughter was supposed to be grooming my dog, rather than Stacy herself. There's really no sense in trying to debate it when someone calls you back to get your dog, right? And I certainly did not want anyone to hurt themselves. So I went back. Long story short, when I arrived to get my dog Heidi, Stacy was apologetic and her daughter was sitting on a chair on the other side of the room looking at the floor, with her ears covered. I don't know what that was all about--maybe the dogs barking--but she didn't get up or say anything or even look my way--which just felt odd and a little unprofessional. The moral of the story is--know they have a weight limit--it might be a good idea to ask them to weigh your dog at drop off if you think you're close--and perhaps most importantly, wait for availability so Stacy can groom your pooch.

We had finally found one in Sarasota who was amazing but she was taking time off. So on the search again. Saw work that Poo Bear had done on several dogs in our neighborhood. Our dogs go ready to be groomed which means we keep the brushing up 3 times a week, so no mats. We trim the ears and feet every two weeks. This means the boys go in looking ready for their styling and we are never disappointed. Now our Fashion pups are looking good with the help of Poo Bears.

They would do only 3 dogs max at one time and they would not crate the dogs. No crying. Then the ownership changed hands late 2025. They had maybe 5 or six dogs in the facility. When I went into get her she was obviously being crated and crying. That was a telltale sign. I am looking for an alternative groomer.
