Amazing service, incredible selection, and there is a freezer with DOGGY ICE CREAM!
Both my dog and I left extremely happy!

Sarah H.

We've seen quite a few groomers in the area, and this is the best experience we've had for our dogs. They did a great job for both of our dogs (poodle and pointer/setter), they were so kind to my dogs, and very professional in their interactions. We will definitely be returning. 

Natalie E.

They did a great job with our pup! She gets nervous at the groomers but I felt comfortable leaving her in their hands to get plenty of love and patience. She looked beautiful after! Thank you so much!!
