Testimonials
If I could give zero stars I would. Drove 45 minutes to get my dog groomed, brought everything my girlfriend and I were told to bring. Upon arrival we were told our vaccine papers needed to have an expiration date on them, despite being given to him month ago and also not providing that information while booking the appointment.
