Testimonials
“I dropped my dog off at 7:00am for a service on May 18, 2022. I got a call at 10:21 to pick her up… Staff were laughing while recording a dog snapping during nail trimming. This is extremely inappropriate.”
– Anonymous Reviewer
“…the manager said she saw the video footage and saw that staff were laughing and she spoke with them stating that wasn’t appropriate… NONE OF THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!”
