The best grooming our berner has had. He is definitely a fluffy boy and they did such a good job of thinning and trimming his coat in the areas every other place has lacked skill in. Will definitely be booking with them again!

I have a precious 7 year old Shih Tzu who was “cut” 5 years ago…that cut required 8 stitches…and he has had an intense fear of grooming ever since. I have tried multiple groomers, medicating him prior to grooming (which only made it worse) but I believe our search is over!
So impressed with Calvin, who in talking with him initially - knew that I had found a place that puts your fur baby first - and I absolutely adore Maddie and appreciate that she saw through my dogs fear and helped him through his first groom… know that it will just keep getting easier.
If you are lucky enough to get an appointment - I know you also will find your new grooming “home”.

I love them. Everytime I bring my dog in they greet him and he is so happy to see them. I have never been disappointed with Momo's cut or the service they provide. To be honest the first time I took Momo to them was his very first visit to any groomer and he was 5 years old. Before that I groomed him myself. I would get half way through and he was done and would get irritated and growl... So he would walk around with half a haircut. I was so anxious he would try and bite them. When I came to pick him up they said " He was really good". They did an amazing job with him. And he comes home with a little tie on everytime. So cute. Well worth every dollar spent.
