Robin’s Dog Grooming

I have one dog. I mostly give him basic cuts in the winter myself, but from spring to fall he goes here. He comes back clean with no residues, but smells nice. They may have removed his tear stains, I’d be willing to believe that they did (only reason I can’t tell with certainty is because the tear gunk is there when I pick him up, but it does come back fast). The main reason I take him there in the spring is because of his feet. She has never done his feet. He gets mats in between his toes, he perfect place for ticks. He also chews at these mats until he’s bloody and raw (okay, he may also have a little bit of spring allergies). I take him here BEFORE the feet are bloody, so there is NO excuse for not touching them. He’s a bichon. She fixes the rest of him, but he’s left with comically clownish overly-​fuzzy feet. I have to do those once I get home. Then I have to clip his nails (she won’t clip them). Let’s be clear– if I had a super-​skinny razor like most groomers have, I’d get rid Louie’s toe mats myself. But I don’t. Why should I have to do that anyways? I took him to the groomers’ for a reason!
On the other hand, he returns with minimal choppiness, looks very dashing, isn’t too sick when he comes back (most groomers will coax and treat their perceived victims with yummy snacks… something that she gives him an upset stomach– to say the least– but it’s not as bad as with other groomers. I’ve given up on asking people not to give him them, they either don’t listen or get the dogs mixed up. The sick doesn’t last long, so I just gave up on asking), she’s actually very nice, he smells wonderful (as stated above– which is saying something for the dog that will roll in anything), you can tell he’s a white dog (nothing is worse than getting complemented on your ‘adorable little brown-​grey dog’ when it’s a bichon… Yup that’s happened…), and he seems to have a bright new outlook on life (after being in there, he gets so excited to come home that he attempts to JUMP into the car! He doesn’t make it… Stupid 17-​yr-​old bones and joints… High van floors…)
To recap:
–Extremely nice lady
–Dog smells great
–Dog is clean
–Dog has a 95% wonderful haircut. No/​minimal choppiness
–Dog might have had tear gunk removed?
–Clownish feet that are only funny once
–Work required to finish (nails, feet, toe mats)
–Price is fair; would be great if not for the work you have to do yourself
–Dog gets snacks that may contain liver
–Dog either feels great afterwards, or is just really happy to leave

Robin is the best groomer my dogs have had. My dogs always come home looking amazing and happy and smelling great. She pays a lot of attention to details and gets them finished really fast.

Robyn is a wonder! Our standard poodles have been going here for years and come home happy and beautiful!

We love Robin, she takes great care of our two non-​shedding dogs. Non shedding means lots of brushing. When Eddy and Dewey come home from their weekly visit they look (and smell) amazing! We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
