Well, I know the other reviews are a few years old, but to say the place is garish and an eye-sore in the conservative town? It is just a purple and yellow building, near another purple buildiing, around the corner from a 7-11! Conservative town? Not in 2011!
Anyway, I took my goldendoodle to Pampered Pup to get him bathed, nails done, and a complete trim, including a lot of face work. He seemed very happy and came away with a cute Christmas bandana. The lady was friendly and talked to me a lot about what she would do.
His last time was at another place (across the street from Pampered Pet, near Safeway, the groomer in the petstore!) and I don't believe they did a thing but bathe him. They didn't use his prescription shampoo, I could tell by the smell. They didn't cut his nails, or do his ears. I only wanted a bath, nails, ears and feet trimmed. His feet looked untouched. And they charged me more.
Anyway, I took my Goldendoodle to another place (in a pet store, near Safeway, you can figure out which one) and I don't believe they did a thing to him. He didn't smell like his prescription shampoo I brought for them to use. His nails looked untrimmed, and his feet didn't look any different. He was just getting a bath, feet trimming, nail clipping, ear (inside) done. He was clean, and soft and fluffy. But, not anything else.
