After stopping in for a few treats and toys in the past, I decided to give Wag 'N Wash a try at grooming my Corgi mix, Mulder. We've tried Petsmart, and they did an ok job, but it took almost four hours. I was hoping Wag 'N Wash would beat that.
Not only did Wag 'N Wash come in under half of Petsmart's time, they were cheaper by a good $20, and Mulder looks amazing! When I dropped him off at his appointment time, he seemed really hesitant to comply with Lydia, and it took a lot of willpower to leave him on the grooming table, but when I came back an hour and 15 minutes later, Mulder looked like his cheerful, happy self, but obviously happy to see me. Lydia said he was a great boy and was wonderful. I paid at the counter and declined a baked good - Mulder always gets an upset stomach from new food.
I am very impressed with Mulder's new 'do. He's all thinned out and trimmed up for summer, and Lydia trimmed the hair on his little boy dingy like I asked, plus the fluffies in between his toe pads. She did a thorough and fabulous job. I've had dogs come back from the groomer's positively traumatized, but Mulder has been his normal self, so I assume her friendliness toward Mulder didn't mysteriously stop as soon as I was gone. I also appreciate that I can go into the grooming area with the pros, not like at Petsmart where I have to stay on the other side of the gate. We will definitely be back!
My only complaint about Wag 'N Wash is how the owners tried to sell me on their food the first time I was there. My dogs have been eating Nutripet for years and years, and I am extremely happy about it. I don't appreciate being lectured on the amount of carbohydrates and protein, as if this is not information I have considered on my own. I don't buy cheap food - I make sure my dogs are getting what they need to be healthy, so please don't treat me like I am an uninformed purveyor of Kibbles N Bits or Pedigree. Still, I'll put up with it to have my handsome little man looking and feeling the way he does!
