Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaExceptionally great grooming. Such attention to detail. My dog was cared for, left so happy & proud! They also captured the moment, which was greatly appreciated. Quick turnaround and fair price. Happy to have found this neighborhood gem!
Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaCourteous, professional, many years of dog handling experience. Kind and gentle with your pets. Highly recommend them.
Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaWe've been coming to STF for over ten years now, back when I had two poodle mixes they had to handle.

Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaOnce again, our dog, Scout, was very pleased. We all appreciate the great service.
Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaGreat communication and a top knotch team they have. The facility is clean and the owner is super nice. My dogs seem to be treated well most importantly and couldn’t have asked for a more better and local groomer.
Scruffy To Fluffy Pet SpaAlways friendly and pleasant. Nice clean facility. Very helpful in fitting my dog in for a last minute appointment for glands and nail trimming.
