Id tried several salons before finding Canine Preferred, and they are by far the best out there and we wont go to anyone else!! My Poodle Bj has always been a little hesistant with strangers (though ive always been told hes wonderful for grooming) but it was always a struggle to get him to go through the doors at the past groomers. But from the second we pull into the parking space and i open the car door, he cant wait to go play! He absolutely loves going to see all his friends there (human and furry). And because they offer boarding and doggie day care so theres always nice dogs around for him to socialize with! He always comes back super happy, and looking and smelling great! The staff their are very nice and personable, and do a wonderful job.
