Wags is a full service grooming salon for all breeds of dogs and cats. Started by the Mallore…read morefamily after a life changing closure of an old business, they once boarded their dog who did not had a great experience. They decided they could do better, so they started Wags. Their salon is designed for a completely stress-free grooming experience. Along with gentle handling, they say your your furry companion will be pampered with the finest pet care products. My wife and I have had dogs for close to 10 years, but always had breeds that didn't require grooming. We recently inherited a little shih tzu a little over a year ago who needs regular grooming, and living out in Marietta, the wife and I looked for a place somewhat close to home to get him groomed. Wags is 10 minutes away and had good reviews, so we took him. He has been there several times since and they always do a good job. He goes in looking homeless and disheveled and comes out looking like he turned his life around. The groomers are always friendly and are usually able to fit us in somewhere within a week of us calling. Wags is a complete pet center as well, offering boarding and doggy daycare in addition to grooming and a self serve pet wash as well. Each dog gets its own room but is not left alone all day, and Mallore's sons -- who now run the business -- take each dog outside to go to the bathroom and take a walk rather than simply letting them outdoors on their own. We usually only use their grooming service, but have also left him for a couple hours of daycare before a grooming to get him nice and tired out. The prices are fair and he is always done by the end of the day. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because, I believe only the second time we left him to get groomed, we dropped him off about 9 in the morning. They said they'd call us when he was done, and around 5 pm, which is when they close, we still hadn't heard from them. I was out running errands anyway, so I stopped in, figuring he had to have been done or close to it. When I walked in, one of the groomers was working on a dog, while the other was sitting on the floor playing with another dog. I asked about my dog, and was told he hadn't been started yet. The groomer sitting on the floor goes "well, I can start him now if you wanna wait for him." Well, yeah, he's been here for 8 hours already, you're technically closed at this point, and you're sitting on the floor instead of working on my dog. Put a somewhat bad taste in my mouth at the time seeing as he'd already been there a full day, and who knows how much time had been wasted that he could've been worked on and home earlier. So I waited there another half hour for him to be done. Other than that experience, they have always been good, and we will continue to bring him here as long as we live near.

Then he developed a severe limp and they put him on gabapentin, again we called and repeatedly brought him in for exams and consistently called about him having a problem with the drug not helping him. At this point I insisted on xrays and ultrasound be done, they had us do bloodwork and told us if we paid an extra $89 for an official pancreatitis test that would be definitive diagnosis that would give us the result that we needed. They could not perform an ultrasound so we had to take him to the emergency vet on Bridge Street in a Syracuse. Come to find out our dog did not have pancreatitis as the vet said the blood test revealed but had full pledge lymphoma, (his neck and jaw presented with hard nodules by the ex vet) and we had to put him down. The emergency vet said the blood test that Stacks office gave us for pancreatitis was not a definitive test for that. So which is it? So disgusted with the lack of concern given toward our dog. It wasn't until i insisted on testing because I was concerned of cancer that a closer look was finally given by the Stack Vet. Extremely upset that we had to put our dog down. Think twice about going there. They gouge you for pricing and never addressed his health until i threatened legal action.

Yes, our dog is anxious, but we let the staff know that during drop off and over the phone beforehand. When I picked him up, it was clear from the staff that our dog did very little during his 8 hours at the facility. Additionally, I was put off that the area where he was all day was "staff only" - no webcam? Finally - I did not read anywhere that he would not be wearing his collar all day at the facility. We have a GPS on it for his security.

Everyone there seems to really care about the dogs and doesn't just treat it like a chore. I have had bad grooming with my dogs in the past and wish I knew about this place sooner. The owner Jackie groomed my dog and asked lots of questions and really cared and wanted to know how she could make Luna more comfortable. This place is great especially for those problem dogs like mine. 10/10
