OH IF DOGS COULD TALK!!
They would probably BEG you (not ask) that you please, please, please not take them there anymore. The only great thing about this place is the terrific acting skills most of the employees display in the front when you initially drop your dog off. After that, you might as well have dropped them off at the pound in a 3rd world country. I cannot tell you the countless times my baby has come back to me with fleas, smelling like he rolled around in urine and feces all day, and basically that feeling of relief to be back home. I simply stopped taking him there when he actually started yelping when we got to the front door and we had to DRAG him in because he so despises that place. Oh and the grooming? FORGET IT. Don't do it. These groomers don't give a flying squirrel about your dogs. My dog came back with a yeast infection in the ear from the severe cuts he had inside which got infected, which was CONFIRMED by my vet (Dr. Steve) across the street that it came from CUTS DUE TO DOG GROOMING. They are overcrowded, staff never knows what's going on (basic things, like if your dog ate or not) and Sam the owner is nice but again, nice doesn't mean good. MOST of the employees are pleasant but recently the better ones (like the ones that actually cared and played with your dogs) have actually quit due to these circumstances. They have been replaced by rude, dismissive and low rent people like JO JO, who works at the front desk and stares dumbly into a computer screen without acknowledging you or ignores you while chatting with her girlfriends in spanish on the phone. I hope she's not an aspiring actress, because she is stupid and it shows. YES, these are the people taking care of your dogs. Don't believe the store front hype. Your dogs deserve better.
