| - This was my first time taking my dog to be groomed. They were quite busy and held on to him for nearly 5 hours, not sure what's typical but I was nervous for him to be there for so long because I know his last grooming experience was miserable and he gets anxious in strange situations. He was matted in places and needed a shave but when I got him back he looked better than ever, no burns, brilliant white with notably black paw pads, clean, soft, and cheerful even. The cut was beautifully even as well, convincing me that this was a far better choice than resorting to craigslist.
The women in the salon were very nice and friendly to both my dog and I, they offered him a treat both when I came in and left. And the price was very reasonable for the beautiful dog I got back. The inside of this store is also nice and professional looking, the atmosphere immediately made me feel comfortable leaving a beloved family member there.
My only problem, and a small one at that, was my dog looked too "poodle" when I got him back when I double checked that he would not get a "poodle cut." Most notably, it's the annoying big poof of doggy-afro people leave on the dome of the head that makes him look like a fool, a total grandma. Nothing un-fixable though, trimmed it off and will note it next time I bring him in. I'm glad he's got a place where he now knows he'll be pampered and cared for.
