Best groom yet! Brought our mini Aussiedoodle here for the first time due to our regular grooming closing down. She was incredible start to finish. Our doodle is anxious during grooming and she took many steps to calm her, greeting her on the couch, setting some calming music. On top of a great groom, Lady smelled incredible, like sweet vanilla and got a super cute bandana. We really appreciate Charmaine. It can be nerve-racking to drop your dog off with someone that you don't know but I was so happy we chose her. We will using her for our grooming from now on!
