We took our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Sophie, there this morning. We just wanted a shampoo, light trim, nail trim. They did an excellent job. Sophie looked great and they praised her for her good behavior and said she was a real sweetheart. They were very prompt and we are pleased to have them in Grinnell! We made our next appointment for Sophie and look forward to doing business with them in the future. Thank you to the owners!

We have two Schnauzers. Dexter and Ivy need the typical Schnauzer cut in the cold months and then a very short cut in the hot. Especially this year! I also make further requests regarding ears, nails and their beards. We are never disappointed. Whatever we ask for is always provided. They are fast and professional and very friendly.
