Don't take your dog to this grooming salon. I took my recent rescue today for his first haircut. He is a yorkie-poo and I wanted him shaved off so he could regrow a nice curly coat. The staff who worked on him barely did anything. His face wasn't touched, ears were trimmed a tiny bit, inside his ears weren't touched, nails weren't trimmed or grinded at all, tail and his belly were untouched. I was still charged 56 dollars even though nothing I asked was done. I brought him to petsmart couple days ago for a nail grind and they were able to do it. The staff at petco just told me that he was a lot of work and screamed. I trimmed his facial hair 2 times since I got him a week ago with no problem, so why couldn't they?
They warned me that they wouldn't force anything on animals so they won't be traumatized, but charging me for a full groom just sounds too ridiculous. I asked for short hair, and they did not do it because he's too skinny and his bones would be visible. But I asked for it so I could grow a nice coat back. It's just unbelievable. They told me to bring him in next month so they could keep working on him. They even pushed an upgrade that would cost 78 dollars after I said "no" 3 times. I would pick petsmart over petco any day.
