    Not the worst, but definitely an uneven, unexpected haircut. My girl is nearly 12 and has been getting groomed every 6-8 weeks her whole life. Her right ear and right muzzle area are noticeably longer than the left side. I specifically asked for the groomer not to cut off her eyebrows and to give a soft teddy bear face and she has no eye brows and short hair around the sides of her face which is the opposite of a round teddy bear. All in all, it’s not the worst, because at least she doesn’t have razor burn, and the groomer seems to have been careful around Sophie’s little skin moles. Another disappointing thing is her nails seem a bit long, but they are dark so I’m just happy she didn’t come home with a bloody nail. Not sure I would use the same groomer again.

    The prices for grooming at Petco have in creased substantially and I feel it would be more economical for me to go to a groomer that has better prices and does a great job. My dog gets a very basic cut and there are no fancy cuts involved.

    I was looking for a new groomer, as I was not satisfied with my last one. I am thrilled I gave Tara, the Petco groomer, a chance! She is very knowledgeable, professional, caring and amazing!
