I just took my dog here for the first time, and I was so happy and impressed with not only the quality of his groom but also the customer service. My dog gets very scared and irritated at the groomer, and when I picked him up he was much more calm than when I’ve picked him up from previous groomers. Highly recommend, I will be coming back here for sure!!

I have a very anxious dog. She doesn’t like most people. But she loves Nina. And the whole staff does great at accommodating her needs. We are very grateful.
