Good service! Every 6 months I take my cat for a full grooming—bath, haircut, and nail trim—and they always return him smelling amazing. The staff is incredibly kind and very understanding. We were late to our last appointment, and even though I felt embarrassed, my husband spoke with them and everything was handled…

Took my 4 month old kitten to get groomed today since her hair was getting long. Staff was incredibly friendly and was gentle with my kitten Mable. They gave her a complementary cat toy and collar and she smelled amazing. Definitely getting your moneys worth!

I took my kitten here for the first time and they did amazing. They treated her very well and they said that she did very well. They also provided me with a picture of her and I thought that was so sweet. I will definitely be bringing her back and they also have good pricing. ❤️

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
