I’ve been coming to Modern Canine for over 3 or 4 years—ever since they first opened—and I cannot say enough good things about them. The owners, Arjun and Monica, are truly the best people. They are incredibly warm, knowledgeable, real dog lovers, and always ready to offer helpful guidance on dog food and nutrition.…

We’ve been bringing our precious Shih Tzu/Bichon mix to Modern Canine for over a year now. They’ve been absolutely fantastic!

We were lucky to find this boutique through a recommendation. We are new to the area and our sweet Goldendoodle needs to be groomed fairly frequently, but is afraid every time. Dana took amazing care of her, listened to our concerns and what our Maisy likes, and fed her treats throughout to help keep her calm. This…

Took my golden-doodle to Modern Canine for the first time today. Couldn't be happier with the results! Owners are very accommodating (didn't want my dog crated) and friendly. The groomer asked specific questions about how I wanted my dog groomed, if she was uncomfortable with hair blower, nail trimming, etc. My…

Wonderful little pet boutique offering lots of different pet products and treats. They have such a great team of groomers I was so relieved to see my dog take to Lisa so quickly after some traumas he had at a couple of places as a puppy. He always looks so adorable I’m always more than satisfied he enjoyed every…
