I have been taking Ollie here for over a year now. He has never done well when being groomed and tends to be aggressive. BUT once we started taking him to Spotted Dog he has seemed to enjoy it<br>(more. he is still a shit😂)<br><br>Anyways, I highly recommend it here. They are great and very patient with him! He has also gotten so comfortable colors like this are possible to do. If your dog seems to be a bit antsy and not do well when being groomed just communicate with them and they will try and work with you and your fur baby 100000/10 ⭐️’s if I could !

The staff here is amazing. We have one skittish girl and one friendly, and they were amazing with both. So patient with our skittish girl - especially the male receptionist who talked to her and kept her calm through the nail cutting. He also let us know about a potential medical issue that if not caught early would have been very serious. Amazing place with a wonderful staff. Thank you!
My dog looooves everything about the Spotted Dog Pet Grooming! He is a chocolate lab who loves to be pampered & he is pampered at spotted dog..... he gets manny, petty, glands, wash, dry. You name it he wants it... even the fragrance!
We were reccomended this place about a year ago and we havent looked back since! Having a senior doggy (17 yr old mini schnauzer) we can't express just how happy we are to have met Emilee. She is experienced, caring and patient. And Smokey comes out of there as handsome as ever!

Heather is a phenomenal Lady - business owner, award winning groomer, and friend! She is one of very few groomers that are familiar with Soft Coated Wheaton Terriers! You get what you pay for!
