I've been bringing my dog Peanut to Wags since they opened their doors. The price is reasonable, the area is convenient, and its easy to find. The most important thing is that Robin is really nice and great with dogs. I became really concerned about the treatment of dogs by groomers After going to your average run of the mill corporate groomeries I became scared for the welfare of my dog. They were unfriendly and treated my animal as a hassle/job instead of part of my family. After that I've been pretty skeptical about groomers, but I trust Robin. She's very friendly and she seems to really care about dogs. When I arrived for my first appointment, she was looking at dog with severely matted fur, and the owner was asking her to comb it out. She tried to explain to her that she thought the hair was too matted. The owner left, presumably to find someone who was willing to comb out her dog. When Robin talked about how much pain the dog would be in, having all those knots combed out, I swear it looked like she was going to cry. That's one of the things that makes me trust Robin, she seems to really care about the dogs. I love how the whole store front is glass so you can watch her grooming the dogs. Lauren and Donna take extra special care bathing Peanut to minimize stress. Peanut has come to love Donna as much as me (yes, I'm jealous). Brenda and Robin always get his nails smooth and short. The old groomers did not round off the nail leaving it sharp and Peanut and I would pay for this over-site in blood. Also they did not clean the insides of his ears, this is very important for a Dachshund as it can lead to ear infections. Thanks to Robin's keen eye I found out that my Peanut was suffering from a pretty severe ear infection that could have been prevented if his ears were properly cleaned. I later added Ruby the dachshund to my family. She is older and suffers severe arthritis of the legs and elbows. Robin takes extra special care and we have never had an incident of arthritic flair up during a groom. Ruby loves her visits to Wags To Whiskers. While my parents were alive they had 2 long haired cats that would always play in water and get matted. My father would place them in a carrier and walk them over to the shop since he didn't have a car. When Robin found out that he was on disability and my mother had cancer she lowered the rates for the cat shave downs. She even arranged for rides to and from the shop so my father wouldn't have to carry the animals to the shop. As long as my dogs live and Wags is open for business, they will go to no other groomer. read more

Called to try to get services for our cat. Person on the phone sounded stressed and aggrivated when she answered. When I asked to speak to Robin sounded annoyed. Then she proceeded to tell me everything they didn't do. When she told me that they might get scratched or bitten. You are a groomer you work with animals getting scratched or bitten is in your job description. OMG. They might be great but I will never know. read more

There is only one thing I can write about Wags To Whiskers. PERFECTION. My dogs are not easy to do anything with, yet there were no issues with the people who cared for them. I have known the owner for over three years since she helped us with a challenging situation. She is always & will be the only one that I will use. HANDS DOWN, I GIVE 5 stars. Debi Shaw read more

I contacted Wags to Whiskers yesterday about getting a lion cut for my long haired beast who is shedding up a storm. Robin set an appointment for this morning, practiced appropriate social distancing and shaved down my boy in 15 minutes! Is it a prize winning cut? Probably not but he is clean and happy and it was nearly stress free for both of us. Let the springtime shedding begin! read more

The worst possible experience. We brought our dog in for it's first grooming and told them exactly what we want and provided a photo to go along with it. We asked for longer shaggy hair and instead the dog was nearly shaved all over and looks absolutely horrible, totally unrecognizable. I was devastated when I saw the what they had done. I asked why it was so short and why she didn't look anything like the photo and the groomer said she "had to cut it much shorter because there were some short spots in her fur" and then tried to make it sound ok by saying "the good thing is puppy hair grows back fast." Totally unacceptable. Also the place is disgusting. It is a very dirty facility, there is no way I would sit on the couch in the lobby or anywhere else. I should have walked out when I saw how dirty the place was when first got there. Lesson learned. I will obviously never go back there and I will advise all my fellow dog owner friends to stay away, far far away, from Wags to Whiskers. read more

Lauren and Robin handled both of my fussy felines well for many years, even providing manicures (soft claws) with steady hands. After trying at least 1/2 a dozen pet groomers in the area, I testify they are the best. My cats always left looking their pampered princess best. Additionally, they are true animal lovers and very involved in animal rescue. read more

I'm sorry this place is gross. The first time I went there, they requested that I hold my own cat while they trimmed her nails. This was in the seating area out front. I was miffed by the experience, but when it came time to trim again, I thought I'd give them a second chance. Well this time it was much worse. They had me wait for someone to become available, and because the seating area was almost entirely taken up by boxes, I just stood there. There was a woman sitting in the only available seat with one of the employees grinding away at her small dogs' nails, and so dog nail dust was flying everywhere and probably getting into my lungs. And it stunk. To boot, one of the dogs got curious and approached our cat's crate. She did not like that. Only then were the employees semi aware of how out of control the situation was, so they snatched away the crate before I had a chance. It might be cheaper than other options around, but I'll happily pay a little extra to not have my cat, and my self, stress out. read more

This place is great! We've been taking our EXTREMELY LARGE and FURRY Great Pyrenees mix to Wags for several years. The women are very professional and always treat our baby with love and kindness. Cash comes out looking so handsome each time he leaves, and always has an adorable (and seasonally appropriate) bandana wrapped around his neck! I swear, he prances down the sidewalk as he leaves, he is so happy with his appearance! My husband and I would highly recommend Wags to Whiskers. Also, for the service we get, the price is right! read more

I have been here several times. The last time my vet bill was higher than the grooming bill because they cut my dog so short it caused hot spots and gave him an ear infection. This time, they cut the quick and he bled all over the car. When confronted, the owner would not refund the cost of grooming or even offer a free grooming appointment. read more

Although I have owned and fostered cats for over 25 years, I have always been able to manage their nail care and basic grooming needs myself. That is, until my medium haired Munchkin got out and became extremely matted and tangled this winter. Despite copious attempts to trim and brush her back to her normal glory, she was a mess. After some research, I decide to give Wags to Whiskers a try on one of their cat days. They were reasonably priced, very thorough, professional and kind, and caused minimal stress to my cat. I would definitely go back if needed again, and highly recommend. read more

I've been taking my seven yr. old chow, chow to this wonderful groomer since he was a puppy. I trust that he is in safe, capable hands and he always comes out looking awesome. Today when I dropped him off, I told them it was his birthday a couple days ago and they put a beautiful hand make Happy Birthday bandana, wrap type thing that looked to great. I feel he gets special treatment at Wags to Whiskers that he would not get at many of the other places I've used with past dogs. Also, I like that he is only there for a couple hours, 2 to 3. Which is nothing considering the amount of fur my dog has. I used to have to leave my other chow all day at other places. read more

My dog hates grooming in every form including his toenails. Wags to Whiskers has always been kind and flexible working with my dog from puppy to his current aged arthritic state. To me it matters more that a groomer cares for the dog. read more

I am SO grateful that we found Wags to Whiskers today! We adopted our rescue cat a little over a year ago, and while he is the sweetest cat, he absolutely goes nuts whenever he needs his nails clipped. He panics and despite trying anything and everything we could at home, nothing allowed us to successfully clip his nails. We tried bringing him to other groomers who weren't comfortable working with him, and our vet is only willing to trim them if he's sedated, which feels excessive for something that needs to be done regularly. He is such a sweet cat who is just terrified of getting his nails trimmed, and we really felt like he just needs the right, experienced people to hold him down safely to be successful. Robin and her team are those people!!!!!! This morning we walked in and were immediately seen, and walked out less than 10 minutes later completely done. There was no fuss, no stress, and Robin and her team handled our cat perfectly. They were completely unphased by him and absolute pros. My husband and I were in awe and will be forever customers. Thank you!!!! read more

Excellent service. I've brought our Pembroke Corgi in twice this winter to have her nails clipped. Remember how the dog-training books urge you to handle your dogs paws while she is a puppy so they are used to it and can tolerate nail-clipping? Well, we must have failed in that responsibility. Our dog is crazy when she has to get her nails clipped. It takes two groomers to restrain her and get the job done. The ladies at Wags handle the challenge without complaint. They are professional and efficient. We always get prompt service when we go in and the shop is always bustling with activity. read more

I have given WTW several chances over the years...I brought my small dog in for a wash, nail trim, ears cleaned & haircut...The last time I brought her there she came out looking like she went in to the tune of 75.00 without a tip! Who wants to tip with those prices? My dogs hair cost more than mine and I told them that! I would NEVER go back there. What a RIP OFF! She didn't even smell nice. Still had a small amount of poop on her fur (can't help it with long haired dogs) her nails were not done and her ears were still filled with hair! I complained and they said oh we worked on her for hours, sorry, there is nothing we can do! There is something I can do, give you a bad review and tell people DO NOT GO HERE unless you are RICH!!! read more

These guys are great with our 2 noisy cocker spaniels. They are great about keeping them together so they don't get stressed. Our dogs always come home pampered and pretty. We would definitely recommend them for doggy grooming. read more

We stopped bringing our dog to these folks a while back. They always overbooked and our dog would sit in a crate for up to 3 hours!! We have found several other groomers locally that handle dogs with care, 1 at a time and for same or even less cost! Beware & shop around-- for your pet! read more

We have taken our beloved Joey and now Bella and Sadie for years. They are always accommodating to our needs and more importantly our dog's needs. They will call as soon as they are done so as to not stress the dogs. Very reasonably priced. Obviously love what they do. read more
