My dog does not like getting a "hair cut". Unfortunately he has long, fast growing, hair that knots and mats and he's low to the ground so grooming is essential! We've been through several groomers and even had the latest one tell us that they would have to sedate him completely and shave him. Really? He's only a little 10 pound dog! Then we were told about Kevin. He's friendly, matter-of-fact, even tempered and the dogs respond positively. (I've had my dog perceptively growl and pull back at meeting a new groomer - when he met Kevin he happily went to him on his own with a happy wagging tail!) He seems to genuinely have a rapport with dogs. He even trimmed my guys nails which no one has ever done before! So happy we found him! I can highly recommend Kevin. And his prices are excellent too - well within the general range for grooming and below what the chain pet store groomers charge.
