My husband and I have been going to Lori's for 14 years. She does an excellent job shaving our cats. Probably most people think their cats just get shaved and their claws clipped. The first thing she does is clip their claws. As Lori says, she does that first so she doesn't get killed! She then shaves the cat while it's still dry. Then she bathes the cat. After the cat dries, Lori shaves the cat one more time. I did not know the cat was bathed then reshaved. Lori also cleans the cat's anus. Our cats always come back closely shaved. Lori has always been super dependable as well as being Phoenix's best pet groomer. Lori is the best and we would not ever go anywhere else. Her prices are also very reasonable.
