Testimonials

We had never taken our dog, Luna here for a bath, so as a nervous dog parent I was hesitant. What a pleasant experience! My black lab, who hates a bath, was treated so well! We spent extra to have the “Summer Spa Special” and she looked and smelled awesome! They cleaned her teeth, ears and left her coat beautiful and shiny. The grooming staff were caring and efficient. We will be back!
