i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommeOur regular groomer was unavailable, so we thought we would try the groomer right around the corner. BIG MISTAKE!! I have two dogs, each a standard poodle. They were groomed nothing alike--one was cut so low that his skin showed, one ear was shorter than the other, and the sides of his head were uneven. The other dogs appearance was better, but both had scraped spots that were red and angry looking. When I entered the salon to pick them up, I saw the groomer holding onto his muzzle and physically jerking his head back and forth. I also noticed there was no talking or reassurance from the two grooming tables. They then charged us twice what we usually pay. My poodle that they complained about his behavior--which is the dog with the jacked up appearence--is still acting very clingy and unlike himself. I would like rate zero stars. These dogs have been to the groomers every 6-8 weeks for 4 years. They know how to act of a grooming table.
