Had a great experience bringing my dog, Marlboro, here for grooming. The staff was friendly, professional, and took really good care of him. Marlboro came back looking clean, happy, and well groomed.

Wagging Tails Pet Store

On the phone I was told the service would be about $35, but once I had made the appointment and went in person it was 45 with tax.

Overall respectful staff and decent service,… Read full review
