I called Hugs N Pups after reading the fantastic reviews on Yelp. They are about 20 minutes from my house but after searching for weeks for a groomer with a stellar, consistant reputation, the distance didn't seem like an issue. I was looking for a wonderful place to bring my 3 year-old Maltese.
This place is it -- the dog grooming salon all pet owners search for but only hope to find one day.
The place is clean and friendly. If your dog is okay with other dogs they have them roam the salon behind the counter. It's safe for them and your dog doesn't have to be cooped up in a teeny tiny crate for hours before and after the groom.
The prices are extremely reasonable. They could charge $10 more and I'd still be totally happy.
THEY LOVE DOGS. These groomers don't seem like people who are just doing it as a job. They really love animals and it shows.
There is a cute gate in front of the entrance in case the door were to be left open your dog would be safe. (The door closes like a normal door so don't worry or anything).
My dog has never looked better after a groom. The groomer totally listened and took my incoherent "well, kinda long but I mean cut his har and we sort of like the teddy bear look" and did an absolute perfect job.
So happy to finally have found a regular grooming salon. Way better than PetsMart.
THANK YOU HUGS N PUPS!!!!
