I’ve taken my Aussie to Woof Gang a few times now, and every experience has been great! We’re pretty picky when it comes to grooming because Australian Shepherds have specific coat care needs, so finding a groomer we trust is really important to us. The groomers here have been amazing, and I especially love Jazmin…

That lack of consistency doesn’t inspire confidence. I also haven’t seen the lovely lady who used to work at the front desk anymore. The place makes a good first impression, but my overall experience hasn’t lived up to it.

I’ve taken my Aussie to Woof Gang a few times now, and every experience has been great! We’re pretty picky when it comes to grooming because Australian Shepherds have specific coat care needs, so finding a groomer we trust is really important to us. The groomers here have been amazing, and I especially love Jazmin G! She does such a great job with our girl, and I always feel like she’s in good hands. The salon is always clean, the prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is excellent. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and kind! We’re so happy we found this place and would definitely recommend it!
