Testimonials

“Finding a groomer to trust is difficult. Finding one that loves the animals they groom as well as having a gift to comfort the pet as they are groomed is rare. This petsmart grooming salon won the lotto with Natalie. I’ve never been so happy with a service or the way my girls are treated when I bring them in to her. I truly hope petsmart recognizes the gem they have in having Natalie D. On the team!”
