“They got Pepsi's nails done super fast, perfectly short, and nice and smooth, exactly how I like them. But what truly stood out was the incredible patience and care they showed her, even though she was being difficult. You could tell they really knew how to handle her.”
“I sent her pictures of previous haircuts and how I prefer Rex to be groomed. She nailed it and I picked up my happy dog a few hours after I dropped him off.”
“Been going here for 4 years for our standard poodle. They do an awesome job every time.”
“They do a great job making my somewhat anxious doodle feel safe and welcomed. My pup even does her excited whine when she realizes we’re headed to Pups Parlor.”
“Tori provides excellent service, is calm and patient with each pup. Lilly leaves happy and keeps turning around wanting to go back once she's done.”
“So happy to have found Pups Parlor! They took such great care of my baby. They were gentle with her and didn’t push her too hard as she does tend to get anxious!”
