I cannot say enough good Things about this company. Ana always does a great grooming job on my dog Smokey. She is very dependable. I feel he really cares for him.
My Chocolate Lab loves Ana! Ana does a great job with his grooming and trimming his nails. Thanks Ana!
Kota has anxiety when it comes to her nails and Ana knew just how to work with her. I’m so happy to find a gentle loving groomer for my girl!

I entrusted my dog to this man’s care while I was out of town, and the outcome has been devastating. I found him through the Nextdoor app and relied on his stated experience and trustworthiness. When I returned after five days, my previously healthy, active four-year-old pit bull was unable to walk. I have since spent thousands of dollars on veterinary care, and my dog’s quality of life has been permanently altered. To this day, I have not received a clear or consistent explanation. I was told my dog got out, was missing for several hours, and later was found. I was not aware he was even injured until after he was picked up by my brother the next day when my brother noticed he was hurt. Even if that account were accurate, he didn’t take any accountability for the fact that my dog’s back legs are paralyzed and a clear story hasn’t been given. He claims he was standing outside while my dog was chewing the fence to escape but if that’s the case why continue to let him chew it? Nothing is making sense and when I asked him about it he got defensive. All I wanted was answers. Three weeks later, my dog is still suffering. He lives in constant pain, cannot walk without assistance, and is largely confined to bed rest. When I contacted this man seeking clarity, I was met with anger and defensiveness rather than accountability or concern. This situation reflects a serious lack of transparency, judgment, and responsibility. I strongly warn others not to entrust this person with the care of their pet.
