First time to take my pup Rocky (Morkie) in for his first grooming experience and I am very pleased. They do not go by appointments which I called beforehand to ask for information(first come first serve) I dropped off Rocky at 7:30am(opening time) and by 9:30 he was ready. I love that the receptionist asked for my cut preference for my pup, so that was a plus. My boy looked happy and handsome with a blue bandana! Highly recommend.
