What customers said about dog ear cleaning
Very professional environment. Sunny, bright, warm and calm atmosphere for my pup. Service was very thorough and efficient. Definitely a client focused attitude to treat your pup with care and make them feel comfortable.
Love this place, they always go above and beyond to make my dogs experience the best, Jax loves Amanda! Highly recommend Scruffy to Fluffy!
The best grooming yet! Mary is consistently very good, but she outdid herself this time! I have had so many compliments on how good my puppy, merlin, looks!
We've been coming to STF for over ten years now, back when I had two poodle mixes they had to handle. Now we only have my girl, Elliott, but she's a handful: almost 12, blind, horrible allergies & skin, plus bad back legs which means she has to sit a lot during her visits. And they always provide such a welcoming…
Scruffy Too Fluffy does an awesome job, I’m so happy I found them. My dog comes home looking exactly how I want him to every time!!!!
Our dog had a good experience at Scruffy to Fluffy. She got a great hair cut and grooming.
