This is the only place I trust bringing my nervous dog, Bailey, for nail trims and baths. She is a bigger dog and they always talk to her and make her feel as comfortable as possible, even though she is pretty nervous/afraid in general for places like the vet/groomers. They are just so great with her and I trust them. Highly recommend!

We have taken all our animals here as they are incredible. We have had super sensitive dogs (yorkies and poodle as well as pitty), but our newest rescue is a yorkie/poodle that was skittish, but they have been incredible & his tail was happy when we take him regularly. This is the only place to get your special babies groomed & well cared for!!!

I was referred by another pet parent and this place did not disappoint! My pet and I were treated warmly. The groomer Cesar came out to meet his 1st time puppy client. He has a great personality and interacted with my pup right away. After asking me what I wanted for my fur baby he assured me it would go great. I felt easy leaving my baby for the first time. Boy...was I impressed when he walked her out. I would recommend this place for sure. ONLY 1 DOWNSIDE...THE PARKING. It's on one way street so be ready to double park lights flashing for quick drop off and pick up. Thanks again Cesar and staff!!

I took my puppy for her first grooming and they took great care of her! They were kind, responsive, and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back soon!

Been going here for at least a year. Great service. Appointment is automated. I get a txt and confirm. Bring my dog. Get a call. Pick her up. Easy peasy.
