What customers said about dog grooming and styling
Hot Dogs and Cool CatsHot Dogs and Cool Cats is amazing! They were great with Toby my dog especially since he gets very nervous when I leave and he is a support dog for my anxiety disorder, so I tend to get a little overwhelmed without him around. I feel very comfortable with the staff and Toby seems to fit right in. I am thankful that…
