Groomin' Tales

Finding a groomer for our 2 1/2 year old MiniBernadoodle whiile away from home at our cottage during Covid was a bit of a challenge for us. Fortunately, we discovered Groomintales and better yet, were able to get in quickly. When we arrived, the owner and her assistant were finishing up a nail clipping on a cute little pug who clearly did not have nail clipping anywhere on his list of fun things to do! We were immediately impressed with how carefully and skillfully both ladies worked to keep the pup at ease and to finish up the task.
When it came time for our George Harrison, we described what we were looking for and then left our scruffy Velcro Dog, as we often refer to him - everything sticks to him - to complete our errands.
When we returned hours later, we were dazzled by the sight of our new dog! Gone were the long, unkempt tangles and curls and in its place was a perfectly groomed handsome Doodle. We had left a couple of specific trimming instructions which were followed to a "T".
We couldn't have been more pleased. The pricing was very reasonable which left us plenty of room for a tip, which was well earned.
We will be returning again and again!

Excellent place to take your pet. Always happy with service and results

I decided three stars was fair. I had Nancy as a groomer for most of my dogs life. She turns 10 next month. For the most part I have been happy taking Tessa to her. Also Natasha is great. But last year right before covid started my son became ill forcing me to reschedule I would say about four appointments in a year and a half. I would reschedule them when I got my reminder call which could be anywhere from 2-7 days in advance. I rescheduled because my son’s appointments would be at the same time. The last time she told me she was frustrated when I reschedule when I get my reminder call and told me Natasha would call me to reschedule and she then hung up on me. I didn’t bother answering when Natasha called me back. The message she left said to call them back to reschedule when I know I could make it for sure. I never did. I found a new groomer. I think she could have asked me if something was wrong because I went to her for so long and that was new for me. I didn’t feel like I owed her an explanation in any way but had she asked, I would have explained. Anyway it’s good that she works with dogs and not people 😊

They did an amazing job. So happy I found this groomer!
