I only take my dog here and the students always do a great job! The instructors ensure everything is performed safely and carefully and my dog always seems well cared for during her visit. The price is unbeatable too! My dog always looks amazing afterwards, like a fresh new puppy!

Diva Gigi can require a little finesse with grooming. Today she didn't require a muzzle and liked the groomer so much, she kept going over to him after the grooming for more attention. I could have cried. No only did she look, smell and her coat was so soft, she clearly liked and trusted him Can't ask more than that
