LATHERED Professional Pet Grooming

We are so impressed with the care of our pets. They have taken care of our old and anxious German Shepherd, our big fluffy malamute, and our cat! I have nothing but great things to say about the prompt communication and the great care for our fur family members!

LATHERED Professional Pet Grooming

I am very happy with my service at Lathered pet grooming. They are very flexible and and very pleasant. Chloe is always so groomed looking so pretty. I have also used their boarding option and both dogs for being skidish did very well. I would have no problem referring them to everyone.

LATHERED Professional Pet Grooming

Marty did an excellent job of grooming our Ivy. Ivy was very nervous and has had some bad experiences but somehow Marty managed to get Ivy calm enough to get her feet and face trimmed up so neatly, along with the rest of her body. We highly recommend LATHERED!

LATHERED Professional Pet Grooming

Annabelle, my 11year old Basset Hound, has her monthly spa day. She looks beautiful after getting her hair and nails done. Marty is so kind and patient with her as Annabelle has back issues. I highly recommend Lathered.
