| - My wife and I have been bringing our dogs here exclusively for the past four years. I should have written a 5 star review previously but simply never got around to it. Today though, I was compelled to because I was made aware they are not just dog groomers but angels sent from heaven.
The backstory...
My beautiful little boy Q-Tip, a Bichon Frisé has not been doing well. He's 13.5 years old and has been in decline the last 2 months or so. Recently he's stopped eating much at all and paces around endlessly, losing his balance and also about 25% of his body weight. We've come to realize as hard as it is, he will need to go sleep soon if his weight loss and eating habits don't improve. The vet has him on an appetite stimulant.
Back to the review...
As such he's become filthy since between both trying to feed him his medication and changing him to wet foods has made him vomit, poop, and drool on himself. Thus, I wanted him fresh and clean when it comes time for his trip across Rainbow Bridge. He is a gentleman, and always has been, so when he is reunited with our Cocker Spaniel Daisy and all her new friends in doggie heaven, he must look his best.
Charles and staff, seeing how unwell and skinny he was, and not being his normal self physically and mentally, treated him with the utmost respect, lovingness, and care. These are people who do what they do not just for their livelihood. It is said to be successful in this business you have to love and care more for these animals than the almighty dollar. Today they showed us just how true that really is. They handled his fragile body tenderly and cleaned him sparkly fresh. They made sure they kept him as comfortable as they could, and when my wife left the shop she was asked to keep them updated on his condition.
We also have another beautiful two year old at home and Barks and Bubbles will always be our go to place for grooming, no matter where we live in this valley. I implore anyone looking for a groomer to go to this shop. They really are the best.
