Located in Old Town Peoria, VIP Grooming was beyond spectacular. The prices was very inexpensive for what you get and the service was excellent. I am always worried to leave my dog at the groomers because it usually takes all day. All of the groomers there were really nice and experienced. They also asked me how I wanted my dog to be groomed. Usually, other groomers do what I like to call a "rat" cut (even when you don't ask for that), but this place did the teddy bear cut I wanted, along with any color bows I wanted for her fur.
My dog seemed like she was happy to show of her new hair cut, unlike Petsmart where it looked like she had been traumatized after I picked her up. I could actually see the dogs in the holding cages at VIP Grooming, so I knew they were okay and being treated nicely. A lot of grooming shops have the holding cages in the back, so that you cannot seem them and don't know how they are being treated, but this place was so different. They called me right when my dog was done so I could go pick her up too. They also use high quality dog shampoo that smelt great for almost a week after.
I have been to other groomers before and didn't have a good experience. They didn't cut her fur the way I had asked and when they were done they left her in the holding cage for a while after instead of calling me.
I would recommend VIP Grooming to anybody that needs their dog groomed. I could not have asked for a better dog grooming service and will continue to take my dog here every time.
