A Fortunate Dog Spa

I would just give them an A across the board. I think I used them because they were in the neighborhood. My pets respond very well to the groomers. I would recommend them.

Wow! I was absolutely thrilled with what Karla did with my puppy! I agreed with her suggestions as to what should be done at 3 months and he looks incredible! I read all the great reviews here on Angie's List and so glad I did. EVERYONE at this business was as nice as could be to me and my little puppy. I delivered a shaggy ball of fur and I ended up with a perfectly groomed Scottie puppy who smells delicious! I'm sure he will be excited for his next visit with all the great people at A Fortunate Dog Spa. I feel like a "Fortunate Doggie Mommy" to have found them! Thanks Karla and crew....I couldn't be happier with my fur baby!!!!

Perfect. Lily went into the spa looking like a wild thing and came out a perfect little lady. Does this sound over-the-top? Oh well. . .

I was looking for a pet groomer after years of having a family pet groomer that groomed pets decide to retire. I went to Angie's list and found" A Fortunate Dog Spa". The reviews were exactly correct! As a pet parent I was very comfortable leaving Paxton with Carla and her staff. He received a massage bath and a full groom along with a complimentary silk wrap since it was our first visit. When I picked him up he looked 10 PDs lighter. The silk wrapped definitely de-shredded him. Thank you Carla for offering great services for our furry friends at a reasonable price, and thank you to our stylist Kim for making Paxton look handsome. We will be back!

Better than expected. Good atmosphere and my little Mistie didn't seem as stressed as usual upon pick up. The clients and staff coming in and out seemed content and happy as well. I think it stems from the owner's attentive presence. She was great and caring. I like how the nail / ear hair trim etc. are included in the session as well as the complimentary spa skin treatment they do for first timers. Looking forward to trying the anti-plaque teeth treatment they offer our our next visit. Booking my second appointment today!

Better than expected. I'd let my sweet dog's hair get matted, so they did have to take her really short... I expected that (and it wasn't cheap/my fault though). What I didn't expect was how they really seemed to care about my individual little one... from the initial consultation to pick up. Because it was her first visit, they gave her a moisturizing spa skin treatment at no charge and she didn't seem as stressed as usual at the groomer when I picked her up. I like how the nail trim, ear hair trim etc. is standard and included with each session. Additionally the clients and staff coming in and out were all very friendly and happy with service and products there. The atmosphere in the dog spa is good and seems to all stem from the owner's attentive presence. I'm making my second appointment and looking forward to trying the teeth treatment they offer to help reduce plaque build up.

Carla is very knowledgeable and professional. Her shop is clean, very nicely decorated, and it's clear that she cares passionately for dogs. My dog has a chronic illness and some skin growths; Carla was very careful when grooming her. We will definitely be back!

I would highly recommend them. The cost was probably $50 for a bath, haircut, nail trim, and teeth brushing. They just do a consistently really great job. The owner, Carla, is on top. She just loves your pet. She takes good care of them. She is very conscientious. It is a well-run place and you can tell Carla has a lot of training. There is just really good consistency on how they take care of your pets. They are two hours out of my way, but I would absolutely keep using them.

I have been taking my dogs to Karla since I moved here in October 2013 and they love going.  When I drop them off they are thrilled to see Karla and the rest of her staff.  Karla looks over each dog and reviews with me what I want done at this appointment.  How I want their hair cut ( how short/long).  They will note anything they notice while grooming the dogs that they need to bring to my attention.  They are so thorough and loving.  It truly is a spa day for my babies.

EXACTLY the place we've been looking for!

Karla, Ashley and all the staff are professional,

devoted, and dedicated. They care as much as we

do about our Cocker Spaniel. Best grooming Buffy's

ever had AND so soft. Excellent experience. 



Finally, a place we can trust.

My dog was so happy when I picked him up, still smells awesome a week later and no shedding! Could not be more professional and received an overview of his 10 point check up and the products used.

This place is absolutely fantastic. It is very clean and the owner makes the whole place. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. My dog came out very happy. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in  my area. They are wonderful people.

I contacted and scheduled a consultation with the owner Carla and was able to bring my dog Willa so she could meet Carla and see the place of business. I expressed to Carla my concern due to Willa is a very fearful dog and I wanted to eliminate as much stress as possible for her to be groomed. Carla was very friendly and understanding and explained the grooming process, cost and discussed best ways to minimize Willa's anxiety. I was able to schedule Willa for that Friday which was very quick. When I brought Willa in Carla and her staff took time to sit and let Willa get to know them so she would be more comfortable. I left Willa there about 12PM and was called to pick her up at 2:30 PM. When I picked Willa up I was amazed how wonderful she looked and how calm she was. Her groomer Connie provided me with a report sheet how Willa had done with the grooming and how they accustomed the grooming best to prevent Willa from being overly anxious. All Carla's staff were very friendly and I could tell their main concern was taking good care of dog. Carla even educated me on grooming tips for Willa at home. The cost was a little more than usual groomers such as PetSmart but it was well worth it especially due to Willa is a Belgian German Tervuren which a rarer breed of dog and has a very thick and densely packed coat that needed to be combed out. I also liked the fact that they blow dry the dog's coat so the dog does not have to sit in a cage and air dry. The quality of grooming on Willa was amazing and very thorough and Carla even provided a special silk wrap treatment free of charge to help remove shedding hair. I was very pleased with Willa when I picked up and even though I live 45 minutes away, I would not take Willa anywhere else. I am glad to know that there are businesses that still believe in delivering excellent services. This is definitely true at A Fortunate Dog Spa.

I've been taking Malcolm to A Fortunate Dog Spa for just about 3 years (he's 3.5 years old now) and he always looks and smells beautiful when I get him back. Karla is fantastic and everyone is always very professional and I feel like they really care about Mal and I feel very comfortable leaving him there and have no worries that he would ever be mistreated or harmed in any way.
The normal cost to get Mal groomed is about $70 which includes the $5 tooth brushing. He's a small labradoodle (about 40lbs). For this last trip I asked for the oral hygiene treatment which costs $35. They got his teeth cleaned up wonderfully and gave me a bottle of stuff to use on him at home (you just put 2-3 drops on their gums!).
I can't recommend A Fortunate Dog Spa enough! They are wonderful. In all the times he's been groomed I've only taken him back once because his cut was lopsided in places. Karla fixed him right up and even took pictures before hand of the cut to show the the girl who groomed him (I believe she was still pretty new). Karla was very nice about fixing him up and even stayed late so I could bring him back that night as we were leaving to go out of town the next morning. I love this place.

Karla and her staff are heads above all other groomers. They are kind, always happy to see the pets, treat them as their own..you can tell they are in the right business. Karla is established as a judge, too, she is exceptional. My pet loves to go to be groomed and comes back cute as a button. Karla listens to what you want done/not done, makes recommendations, and is a gem. The salon smells wonderful when you enter, too, which is not the case in all places. She also sells dog food and other doggie items at a price more reasonable than local stores.
You will be glad you found A Fortunate Dog, believe me. My sister lives in Bethel and was impressed with Karla's services that she now drives quite the distance to have her dog groomed by Karla / staff.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful job that this company did with our dog. After a horrible experience at another groomer, we decided to try Karla and her staff. Wow! From the moment you enter her business, you know that you are in the hands of a professional staff that really cares about the appearance and safety of your dog. This may have been one of the best customer experiences we have enjoyed in a long time.

They did a perfect job of grooming our dog and following all of our notes. First timers also get a free spa treatment which was a fun surprise. The entire place is set up to ensure your dog is comfortable and relaxed. And, they even gave us a free treat for our dog from their in-house and quot;barkeryand quot;.

Excellent job and highly recommended.

Our Morkie has longer hair and needed attention and this was her first puppy grooming. As a new dog mom, I didn't know how to properly groom her but I was trying. Not only did they groom her, pamper her, and show me how to properly comb her, they were phenomenal in all aspects of the business. When you enter, it's like going to a regular person spa, great smell, clean, products available are even at an affordable price. Carla is amazing and knows her stuff. She is extremely personable, truly caring to the pets, knew several of the dogs by name as they arrived...it's just an awesome experience for the pets. Our dog has a tendency to bark, but when I picked her up, she was kissing the entire staff!
Thanks for being the and quot;go toand quot; for future grooming and more! We are now a loyal customer.
