What customers said about dog ear cleaning
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming HuttoTook my 2 dogs here for there first time being professionally groomed and I’m beyond impressed with the results. The dogs look fantastic and smell great! The groomer was super sweet and the place is just really nice in general. We will definitely be back!
Pretty Paws Dog GroomingJerry was great with my giant senior dog! Jerry gave him plenty of breaks, was incredibly attentive to his needs, and kept me informed during the visit. He is flexible, caring, patient and funny. He also does a great job with the grooming, even with difficult dogs like mine. I highly recommend grooming your pup here!
New Image Pet GroomingWe have been using this company for the last several years and I have been pleased with every step of their customer experience. Pricing: fair a come to you service with attentive and skilled staff Customer service; life happens and I have had to reschedule or modify visits in the past. This has been incredibly…
What A Dog GroomingWe had such a wonderful experience with What A Dog Grooming! The ladies did a fabulous job with our Yorkie. He was extremely matted and definitely needed a good haircut, and they took such great care of him. The price was extremely reasonable, and I really appreciated that the staff was very informative and upfront…
Pretty Paws Dog GroomingHe was so kind and caring, let me know all he was doing, as it was her first haircut, I would 100% recommend him in a heartbeat.
Pretty Paws Dog GroomingJerry fit my maltipoo Milo in last minute for a nail & ear trim. Not only did he do a wonderful job, he actually took the time to also show me how to safely cut Milo’s nails and grind them down with a dremel. This service was above and beyond my expectations. I’ll definitely be a returning customer. Thank you!
