Finally tried out the grooming today with Yvonne. We were a little hesitant to try a new place, but I'm glad we did. Drop off is always hard because my little one has separation anxiety. They have been overstimulated at other places before and sometimes get an upset tummy later on in the evening, which is why we always alternated with a mobile grooming service. When we picked them both up a few hours later they looked great and even more importantly, very calm as well. The groomer's assistant must have been sitting on the floor with the few dogs in the back giving belly rubs I'm sure because when my little Fuji heard us come in we saw his head pop up above the counter (he climbs on people-lol) That was nice to see :)
I like that there is very few dogs mingling with each other in the back grooming area, which is completey open and viewable to anyone shopping in the store-something that cannot be said about the usual place we go. We also brought home a some of the homemade treats from the case and they loved them!
We will be back-well worth the 20min drive :)
Thank you!
