I just took my dog to Smelly Dog for the first time today, May 6, 2012. It was awesome. Very helpful staff and the amenities to use for the bath (my son and I bathed her ourselves) were excellent. There were a number of other dogs in there either with their owners bathing them or the staff grooming them and all were well cared for. I will definitely be taking my girl back there and the price included one of the staff clipping her nails - nice bonus!
Thank you Smelly Dog for making a chore into something much easier to do!
