DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS HERE. On 4/13, my dog Penny was dropped off for grooming services. They were instructed to give her a small hair cut around her legs and behind area along with her paw pads. Upon, pick up we were given her back completely botched and with the worst haircut possible. She is a golden retriever she should've never been shaved with a mushroom head. The lines are so crooked anybody else could've done a better. I have worked in pet care before, I know this is not how grooming appointments should go. I spoke to the "manager" the following day to which she said "human errors" happen and I could bring her back for them to "fix" it , there was no fixing this you can't glue hair back on. This was not just human error this was neglect. Pennys hair will probably never grow the same.

Terrible customer service! I am very disappointed with Woofers. If I could, I would give Zero stars. We met several of their employees at an event in the Spring where we took our Sheepadoodle. At that time, she was about 6 mos old and hadn't had her first groom yet. They were very nice and told us they would be happy to groom her, as they are doodle owners themselves. Due to scheduling conflicts we weren't able to get her in right away and used another groomer, but were very much looking forward to taking her to Woofers. That time finally came last week and we couldn't believe they way we were treated. When we first walked in there were two kids running around and the lady behind the desk looked flustered, telling them to "go play elsewhere." She didn't greet us nicely at all, knowing it was our first time there, but was just very matter of fact, "Name? Address? Good phone number? What breed is your dog?" She never once engaged with our baby, even though we placed her on the counter. She briefly looked at the top of her head and said, "She's matted. The humane thing to do is to shave her head completely. You won't be happy when you pick her up." Wait, what? She had a small mat on top of her head and one on her ear and you want to completely shave her? You can't brush it out or use scissors? "No, we don't use scissors here, only clippers. I have to get under the mat to clip it out, so I'll have to shave her whole head down." But we specifically brought her here bc you said you're an expert with doodles, but you're telling us you won't take the time to get a couple mats out, you'll just shave her entire head? That sounds extreme. What if you have a dog come in that has long hair and needs groomed, you don't trim their hair with scissors? "We use clippers and the longest blade we have is 1 inch." So every dog that leaves here has hair that's an inch long or less? That makes no sense. "I'm telling you now that you won't be happy when you pick her up, so we're probably not a good fit for you." I scooped our baby up and walked out at that point. Never in my life have we been treated so rudely! Never have we had anyone meet our Annie and not say how cute she is. This lady was rude and impersonal. We honestly felt as if she would treat our sweet girl badly if we left her. When we got in the car, I was shaking and wanted to cry bc I couldn't believe what we had just encountered. I don't know if the lady was having a bad day, if the kids running around were on her last nerve, or what, but she didn't seem like she even likes dogs! I don't remember her name bc I left so upset but she had brown hair and this was in the afternoon on Wednesday October 25. We have several friends who are also looking for groomers for their doodle pups and they were waiting for our review of Woofers, we contacted them and said, "Do not take your baby there!!" Extremely disappointed.

Needs a haircut!

I love Woofers! They are the nicest staff. Very helpful always when I have a health question for my Abby girl. This is the only place I will take my dog to. Plus they have a lot of varieties of just about anything you might need. Plus my little girl always comes back looking beautiful.

Woofer is amazing and their employees are very helpful and knowledgeable. When we arrive I feel like I'm at a friends business. Love them!!

My adorable pomeranian after her groom at Woofers

Woofers is hands down one of the best grooming salons in the area! They've also got an awesome pet shop attached that carries high quality food, treats, and supplies. They sell Orijen small breed which I was getting on Amazon but I'd rather support a local business and the price is actually a couple dollars less at Woofers. My favorite thing about Woofers is the staff and how well they treat my pompom Mitzi. They're great people who love dogs and I trust them with my baby. Just had her groomed yesterday for the first time ever and I'm OBSESSED with how cute she looks!!! :)

Dog

Take my dog here once a week when I can! Get his nails done and buy dog food I can only find here. I love their dog cakes and their long treat line they have tons of reasonably priced toys and everyone is always friendly. They even worked with my dog when he was a puppy he hated to have his nails being ground. They didn't charge me if they couldn't get his full nails and helped me with ways to get him used to the feeling. It's been 5 years now and I still come here haven't found a better place out there.

Woofers offers a great variety of the BEST dog food brands on the market at competitive prices. The Mom and Daughter team who own & operate the store are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Woofers carries everything from biscuits to treats and even has all natural & organic mini doggie birthday cakes or they can connect you with the doggie bakery and help you order a custom cake, cupcake, or cookie for your FurKids special day! So if you want the BEST Customer Service, the BEST Grooming, or the BEST choices in Food and/or Dog Accessories WOOFERS is the store for you!!! We LOVE Woofers Grooming & Goodies more the a fat pup loves cake!!!

Edited for Update: I do want to mention that after posting this review, the business owner left a message for us offering to fix the haircut on our pup. We have yet to get back to them due to our busy schedules, but do appreciate their efforts to provide their clients with service that meets expectations. Our regular groomer referred us to Woofers as they were told to reduce their capacity (due to COVID), so we decided to try the grooming services here. The check in process was quick and easy, and the staff were very kind and accommodating. Upon seeing our pups once I returned home, however, I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the grooming. One of our dog's hair is incredibly uneven, and not the length that we requested. I think what concerns me the most, however, is the nail trim that was done on our other dog. All of the nails are uneven, some are chipped, some were cut at an angle making them very sharp. It feels as though there was a lack of experience or perhaps they were rushed. I generally do not like to leave a negative review , but our dogs are incredibly important members of our family and leaving them with somebody to groom or care for them is a big display of trust. As I mentioned, I have heard many great things, we did have some positives in this experience including the haircut on one of our pups, and the staff were very welcoming, I just wish the grooming had been a better experience all around.

The bandana is so cute..

I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! Most loving dog owners know how hard it is to find…read morea grooming salon you can truly trust. I found K9 Grooming through Yelp and I'm so glad I did. We drive 30 minutes to get here and I won't lie, the salon is pricey. It usually costs me around $300 with trip for a standard Aussie and mini Aussie regular groom. But it is absolutely worth it. My dogs are my babies. We have a 6-year-old Aussie we've had since he was a puppy, and we recently added our rescue mini Aussie who is now 8. Our rescue has extreme anxiety from her past trauma, including living in a hoarding situation. The team here treats both of our dogs like family. I've never once worried about the way they're cared for. The salon is spotless. Anytime I walk into a grooming place that smells like urine or feces or is chaotic with constant barking, it's an instant red flag for me. K9 Grooming is completely different. It's clean, calm, and you can even watch your dogs being groomed so there's no mystery about how they're treated. Recently our neighbor warned us about fleas in the area, so I called K9 as a concerned pet mom. They were so helpful. They told me they'd start with a regular bath and, if they found any fleas, they'd do the treatment and call us so we could prep the house. Sure enough, they found a few a went forward with the flea bath. They provided me with helpful information and next steps. I sincerely appreciate the level of care, transparency, and customer service the staff provide. I could never take my dogs anywhere else after coming here.

Australian shepherds have very thick double coats, she requires grooming at least every six weeks. From the front desk, all the way back to the groomers they're always so professional, and Mila is always so extremely eager and happy to go there; that says so much. I've had my fair share of very bad grooming experiences, with this very dog. K9 Design Grooming Salon has changed my perspective and Mila's perspective on grooming experiences. We used to live extremely close to the Salon, but we recently bought a house in Olympia and still make the drive! We love K9 Design Grooming!!

WHY they could have a cat groomed directly next to multiple animals AND why they would call back within 10 minutes shocks me!!! 10 minutes feels like they didn't even attempt it :/

I put my dog into boarding August 17-21, 2023 with Shaggy Shack; Thursday afternoon to Monday morning. My dog has a muscle dystrophy disorder that effects anywhere in her body that has collagen. At less than 2 years old, she has severe arthritis in her elbows. I let Shaggy Shack know of her disorder prior to leaving her with them. I even wrote a note and taped it to her food container. I spoke with 2 workers, 1 manager, and then finally the owner. None of the stories matched with the others. When I spoke with Tonya, the owner, I explained how I received my dog and that her inflammation could only be that severe if she was not given her medication. Tonya said "the girls could have missed some medications, we're not perfect." I asked for a refund, to which she said "we won't be administering a refund because that would be admitting we did something wrong." My dog was returned to me with dried blood and sticky from pee, how is that right? I have no answers I'm satisfied with, only multiple stories of what may or may not have happened to my disabled dog. At this point, I paid to have her be grossly neglected. Tonya provided a med sheet 4 days later to try to claim they gave my dog her medication, even though my hydrotherapist (who I had look over my dog for other injuries) agreed her condition could've only been that bad if she had not received her medication. Tonya shifted the blame to me, saying "You chose to bring her to a highly stimulated setting instead of staying home with your handicapped pup." I trusted Shaggy Shack to care for my dog as if she were your own, as the website claims the business would do. I will not make that error again and suggest others not to as well. Do better.

I would highly recommend though. I like our home spot, but his one has something very special about it. Bernard loves playing with dogs, but when its raining at our normal spot he ends up sitting inside with some outside time and not a lot of dog socialization... or at least that is my guess. When he comes home on rainy days he is not all that tired. In fact he seems like he just hung around all day instead of playing. The first time we took him to Shaggy Shack it was raining and I thought he was going to come home not tired at all. Oh man was I wrong. He was knocked out and it was in a way that leads me to believe not only does he get to play with dogs, but he has moments of thinky time or play time with humans. I cant say for sure, but I love how he comes back those days. Clearly wore out from a day of fun. I really like this place but unfortunately its a bit of a drive to do daycare daily especially when we have an on base option right next to my wife's work. I will say though they are definitely going to be our go to for boarding. The one major downside to our normal spot is there are no options for drop off pick up on Sundays. A lot of our trip or time where we need to board is Just saturday evening. This gives us the opportunity to board and pick up when we return and not have to board an extra night. In addition we had a last minute boarding need when I was too lazy to get boarding scheduled at our normal spot and it worked out perfectly. I highly recommend this place. Its not on base so anyone can use. The place is huge. Staff knowledgable and friendly and overall I have nothing but positives about here. I wish their location was closer, but thats not a negative, just a desire to make my life easier.
