    Brought my dog here a couple days ago. The first person I spoke to at the front was a bit short and seemed to be in a bad mood so I didn't speak to her much. The next worker I found was much more personable and directed me to the groomers. The groomer was very friendly and I liked the way she handled my dog when I passed her off. When I returned she told me she tried to brush her teeth but only got as far as getting the toothpaste in her mouth so her teeth weren't actually brushed. The package I purchased was supposed to also include the expression of my dogs anal glands, this was also not done. I had to ask her about it and then she did it real quick before I left. Yes the staff are friendly for the most part but I'm not sure if I will go back because the package I paid for was not completed properly.

    I usually book with Tina, she’s amazing with my dog. but unfortunately I needed a appointment that i booked ahead of time. because I needed my dog groomed ASAP due to minor matting that I didn’t want to get worse overtime. i figured he should be fine because they hire certified groomers for a reason. I specifically asked for him to be short due to summer but still more curly hair left and was met with at shaved dog with minor cuts his legs and a open wound cut on his lip & to the hospital for 8 hours to be seen because bleeding would not stop and would constantly drip all over hospital floor. My dog was shaken up and anxious/ too alert I don’t know what happened there during his appointment with Brie but this was a huge no for me. I was booked with Brie, which was auto selected which ended up with my dog up at the animal hospital in Middletown. I don’t recommend due to the way my dog was left and where he ended up after being in her care. I understand if dogs move a lot during grooming, etc. but that’s exactly what groomers are supposed to be 100% trained/certified for and actually know what they are doing with animals!!

    Sadly, this was not a good experience I was very specific about how I wanted my dog groomed even showing pictures. It was basically a run-of-the-mill puppy cup. Nothing out of the ordinary and the only way I can explain the result is to say that my poor pup was butchered. It was the worst grooming experience I have had and I’ve been going to groomers for a long time.

    Really nasty attitude groomer turns us out because we got a little late, we explained we had a little issue on the road and she just did not want to take my dog, first and last time at this location. I WILL NEVER recommend this place, totally disgusting.
