My 4 year old dog Lucky doesn’t love the groomer but Temple of the Dog took such great care of him, he was just lounging around and chilling when I came to pick him up. Not to mention his haircut is the cutest he’s ever had! Will always be coming back here, so glad I tried someplace new.

Simply the Best in the Business!\n\nI’ve been bringing my dog to Temple of the Dog & Meow Lounge for over six years, and I can honestly say I’ve never experienced this level of care, talent, and professionalism anywhere else. I’ve had dogs all my life, but Tara and her amazing team have set a new standard for what a grooming experience should be.\n\nMy sweet Teddy used to dread going to the groomer, but now he literally skips in the door because he knows it’s a fun, safe place—and that he gets to see his best friend, Tara. A few years ago, Teddy lost his left eye, and I was so worried about how to care for his face and keep him looking like himself. The team at Temple of the Dog knew exactly what to do. They handled him with such skill and compassion, and he still looks like the handsome little prince he’s always been.\n\nI can’t say enough about how much peace of mind it gives me knowing Teddy is in such talented, loving hands. Tara and her team truly care about the animals they work with, and it shows in everything they do. They are simply the best in the business.

We love everyone at Temple of the dog. Our senior girl of almost 15 is always handled with such care and in a timely manner. She has always hated being groomed but it’s necessary especially in her old age, I feel completely comfortable taking her here often because I know she’ll be well taken care of & she’s honestly never looked more cute! Thanks everyone!!!

I’ve brought my dog here for 4 visits now and he loves it! April is our preferred groomer and she does a great job with keeping Oreo well-groomed (while maintaining his fluffy tail!) They do a great job with customer communication and it’s a convenient location. Plus, it’s clear everyone there loves dogs!

I've been taking my goldendoodle, Willow, here regularly for over a year now and we both have nothing but love for Temple of the Dog! I have to give a special shout out to April - easily my favorite groomer I've ever had for Willow (and she's almost 7). She does an immaculate job with any of our grooming needs and is SO patient. Willow has pretty bad anxiety when it comes to vets/groomers but she actually LOVES seeing April. It warms my heart. Don't know what we did to deserve her! Highly recommend her or any of the groomers, they have a great thing going here!
