She goes for grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. As soon as we head in the direction of the Vet, she gets excited. We literally run to the appointment, and she prances all over the office while I check her in. When I pick her up, she looks and smells terrific. The staff are friendly, easy to work with, and really accommodating. They treat my dog like she is family! (Obviously this photo is PRE-grooming, as we were running to the appointment) I just added the post grooming photo. Skylar is a miracle worker!

Oh my gosh! My dog, Willie, LOVES this place.
They're easy to talk to and listen to your questions and what you have to say, even when you're worried and stressed about your pet. So grateful they were able to help my oldest, he needed teeth removed as soon as possible and they made it happen. I trust them with my fur babies, and they trust them as well!! Thanks to Dr. Matyi and everyone that helped get my cat the relief he needed immediately, he's already eating again.

My cats go here regularly, all the staff members are wonderful.
