Xena always comes home looking and smelling great! They do a great job and are so good with my Xena.
I've been bringing my dog here since he was a puppy and ive never had a bad experience! My dog struggles being around strangers and dogs, yet this environment has allowed him to be comfortable and stress free to the point of being able to be near other dogs!! He absolutely loves going to the groomers and he always comes out looking perfect ❤️
My baby always comes home feeling so pampered and proud to have such great style. Mars is so patient and does a great job every time
Mars was so considerate, changing our appointment time because of a pop up doc appointment. Love the groom. Thanks so much.
Excellent service and friendly staff! My dog loves them and looks wonderful when they groom him.
Always a great experience, and my dogs were at ease from the very time we entered. I would highly recommend them.

First grooming for our mini schnauzer Lillie, extremely happy in every way, you have our business, you are Lillie’s groomer. Second spa day for Lillie, almost two months since her first grooming, once again a 5, fantastic job, Kenzie and associates are the best by far. Third spa day for Lillie, same quality results, started a standing 45 day appointment between spa days.
