We have a 7-year-old yellow lab who is very skittish and losing her eyesight. But when we need to leave her we can relax because she loves going to Villa La Paws. We have been using them for over a year and a half and she gets excited every time we take her there. They groom her for us before we bring her home and they do a great job and she is not upset at all like she usually is when we have her groomed. The counselors spend plenty of time rubbing her belly and giving her attention and we can go away for a couple of days without worrying about her. I would recommend Villa La Paws to anyone that loves their dog!
