“I have looked for a groomer that when my dogs came home they were not so overtaxed and stressed that they could not function. They were completely upfront in how they would structure their time so my babies would adjust to the environment. Not only did they get a beautiful groom they were completely normal at home.”
“Our dog can get really anxious so it can be hard to find someone who is patient enough with him, but Michelle was incredible!! She was so nice and understanding and our dog looks great!”
“My 15 lb terrier mix can be nervous with new things and other dogs, but Furry Essentials took great care of her and said she did great with other dogs. Not to mention they did an amazing job on her hair cut, exactly what I asked for!”
“My long haired female Husky mix was way overdue for grooming, with somewhat matted fur, very dirty from rolling in the dirt that used to be my back lawn! … So they worked their magic, with brushes and a good cleaning. An awesome job, and I will definitely be back on a more timely basis.”
“Bandit is my 15 year old Shih Tzu and needs a little more time and patience with his grooming. They did a very nice job and he looks so good and he smelled wonderful. He already has his Christmas appointment booked!!”
“First time I've gone and they were very sweet and helpful. And my Yorkie is so soft and adorable after her appointment!”
