What customers said about dog anal gland expression
The best!! They really care about your baby and handle them with such care. They are professional and very informative. I specifically love that they have a glass wall to watch any service being done. My regular spot!
This place is like a gold mine. Wonderful owner. Took me a couple of months to get in. But my fault. For me, and my lhasa apso, heaven.
We took our two Golden Retrievers, Buddy and Enzo, in for grooming, and the service was absolutely spectacular! You can truly tell that they care about the pets and treat them with so much love and attention. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went! We will definitely be back! 10/10 service! Thank you so…
Please please please support this business. Very reasonable prices and such a positive experience from my dog to mine. The owners were patient and very knowledgeable. They took care of my dog better than PetSmart and as if she was their family. I highly recommend them to anyone anytime. My dog was matted and needed…
They did a great job with my dog! I got a next day appointment which was super convenient. They are fairly priced and I appreciate the glass doors so you can see their grooming. The staff are kind and attentive. I will be bringing him back here!
If you want your pet magazine ready, this is the place! Fluffy’s exceptional customer service, ability to connect with your pet and their unmatched grooming skills, allows for the absolute best pet grooming experience!
