Wilco Pet Grooming
I’ve been bringing my dog there for about a year now, after a frustrating search for a decent groomer. I tried everywhere, and then a neighbor mentioned Wilco. It is amazing how many people have had problems finding a competent groomer for their dogs! We all share information and now a lot of us go there!
It costs about $ 40.00 to have my dog bathed, clipped and have her nails done. This is pretty much the standard price no matter where I go, she’s a 15 pound poodle mix and gets a very ordinary haircut. You would be amazed at how many places can’t seem to manage a simple haircut — and for a small well-​behaved dog, too.
I like Michelle the best, she’s got a sunny personality and my mutt really likes her. It takes about 2−½ hours to accomplish the task, which is good. I have never gotten the impression that Michelle is rough with her and she clips her just like I ask.
I prefer to pay up front when I come in to get my dog, which means the cashier has to phone back to the salon for the price. In all this time have had only one cashier who said, «Oh, we NEVER do that!» Which irritated me a whole lot. Eventually she did it but I wonder what her problem was!
It’s hard to find a groomer who listens. I need my dog clipped a certain way because she is active and accompanies me on many long walks, so her fur has to be short. I also wash and brush her myself, but I need a pro to do the clipping — try Wilco!
P. S. It’s also fun to shop there!

They are pretty friendly and have a good selection but their prices are kinda high. I have bought dog food there but have found it cheaper at Mini Pet Mart or McKenzie Feed so now I just go there when I can’t find something elsewhere because they do have a good selection.
