Tails-a-Waggin Dog Grooming

unknown

I called them on Monday the 14th of April, and was ecstatic to find out she had an opening first thing on Tuesday morning (everyone else either didn't answer or was booked out into May). The person who answered the phone was extremely friendly. We dropped off our shih-tzu the next morning, and she spent about 30 minutes with us talking about our dogs likes/dislikes, how we wanted him to look and how he normally handles grooming. Less than 3 hours later our dog was ready for pick up and looked and smelled wonderful! He was a pretty happy dog too :)
For the price and service, she really is worth giving a try! The only thing to keep in mind is that she only accepts cash, but will tell you the cost upfront when you book an appointment. We will be going back for sure!

When I dropped off our dog, the provider again assured me she would shave her down, clean her ears and cut her nails along with bathing her. When I went to get my dog, she had not been bathed. I used to do this myself when I was physically able to but circumstances have changed. When I rubbed my hand over her coat, I became covered in little white clippings. I have never had someone wash my dog before shaving .... you do it afterwards to make it easier and to get the little hairs off. A check of her entire coat found long hairs on her belly, under her arms and legs. Her belly still had dirt on it and her ears smelled with the same visible dirt/wax. The provider proceeded to tell me that my dogs nails had not been clipped completely because she BROKE THREE SETS of nail clippers on my dog's nails!!! PLEASE!!!! I have had the same set of nail clippers for 10 years and have used them on 6 different dogs during that time and have never broken a set. She was trying to get me to pay for the nail clippers. Needless to say, I will not be back! I have talked to other people who have not had a problem with this provider so please, make up your own mind. This was just my experience.
