Clippin’ Critters

I called and asked how much it’d be to just do face, nails and butt. I told her I have a 5lb yorkie (he is by far tge smallest yorkie I’ve seen. She quoted me 10 $. I MADD my appointment for the next day. When I got there she told me that my dog it big. She just wanted to up the price because my dog is 3yrs old
, 5lbs and 12″ long. Then I heard her tell my dog I’m using my good sissors on your dirty hair. Then when she was shaving his butt she said yuck. Finally I couldn’t keep my mouth shut any longer I asked“issomething wrong because I gave him. A bath last night”. Very rude people. I will NEVER go there again. They did a sucky job anyway. She is very insulting and negative. I actually rate them 0’s.

I have been taking my dogs to Stacy for many year and she always does a great job. My first dog was a sheltie/​beagle and she always came out looking great. I have a new dog, labradoodle, and again, amazing work. I have gone to other groomers with Lola since Stacy gets booked pretty quickly and I’m a procrastinator. When I pick up my dog and see the horrible job they do I regret it ever time. It’s just not worth it, lesson learned. Now I book my appointment weeks in advance, soo worth the wait. If you want a knowledgeable professional to groom your dog, go to Clippin Critters.

I took my Shih Tzu here a few times. The third time the groomer called me and said that she nicked the lower lid of my dog, but it didn’t seem bad. 3 stitches later… My poor dog. She sliced the bottom lid with the clipper. My dog is 9 years old and has Never Moved So Much (so she said) with any other groomer. I will take my business elsewhere.

Today will be the last day I’ll ever take my two beautiful/​hyper golden retrievers to this groomer. My dogs are caged for HOURS & I’m for damn sure they don’t get a break from being caged in. Today we had called to see when they’d be ready & she said 3:30. The lady had called saying she needed more time or else they’d leave as they were. What type of «groomer» says that. I had also checked their nails & they were HORRIBLE! She did a half ass job & they were chipped off. I would never recommend this groomer to anyone.

I used to take my chihuahua here to get her nail clipped and the lady with the red hair (who i believe is the ower) was always nice to me and by angery little dog. However I recently got 5 month old sibern husky and I took him over to see how much she would charge me for bath and bursh. i’m going to be honest I got my husky from a puppy shop and the guy at the shop told me that some people shave there huskys in summer to keep them cool. Seeing how this my first husky I asked her about it. She looked at me like I was idiot and made the comment only stuiped people get this kinda of dog in state. she asked me where I got him and told her a puppy shop. she smiled and said to me that my dog was an inbreed and his mom and father were probably brother and sister and he came from a puppy mill. After she said that she kick me and my dog out and started to spary disinfected as I was walking out. I was so offended that I was at a lost of words and I couldn’t believe she would say that loyal customer it’s a shame because I only live a few houses away from this place. I will never take my other dog back there ever again.

I used to take my Jack Russell Terrier/​Australian Shepherd here before, but it was enough with the owner’s moaning. Stacy will cage the dogs for hours! If you were checking the status on the pets she will repeatedly mentioned you were late and I had to pay my friend to help me, and it will take another 2 hours. After an additional 2 hours; she said your dogs are bad and it is taking me longer blah, blah, and blah. If you are not pet friendly and over booked the poor dogs, why are you even in business? My Aussie used to come home horrified and never wanted to go there. Several times I addressed the fact she was cutting my Aussie’s nails to close to the quick; which she always blamed the dog for moving too much. I believe people deserved second chances, but after continuously moaning from the owner, we decided to stop taking our boys there.

Its a sign of a great groomer, when the dog they are working on is wagging their tail.
She is gentle and knowledgeable regarding breeds of dogs and how to handle them. I could not be more pleased with the way my dogs are treated. I saw an earlier review where a quick was clipped. That can happen to anyone. Its hard when nails are black. Personally, she has never clipped any of my dogs quicks.
She appears to really love animals and not afraid to let an owner know if their dog needs better grooming or medical care. her prices are among the best anywhere. The salon is not fancy (understatement), but the care is top notch.

I’ve been taking my dog here for about ten years. He gets a bath and nails trimmed, and it’s always been a very good experience for both of us. The woman owner is super-​nice and obviously loves animals. We used to take our guinea pig here for nail trims too, and she always did a great job.

I have resumed taking my cats there the past year without incident. I just wish they had some evening hours!

I think Stacy did a good job of grooming my dog but it’s not worth it.
She books about ten dogs at a time and has you drop them off from 7−9am. She keeps the dogs in their crates for HOURS as she works on them. A better way would be to book only a few dogs that way they do not have to be cooped up for so long. She complained that my dog cannot go back since he was a lot of trouble for her. Well I am glad. I do not think those are good conditions to keep animals in. I now take my dog to Soggy Paws in the south loop. Double the distance and double the money but the environment is 100% better.
