Camp Canine rocks! I started bringing my Maltese, Diva, there about a year and a half ago after she was recommended by a friend who brings his Malti-poo there. I had been taking her to various places around New York City and Massachusetts. I have had nothing but positive experiences here, Sue is the best! She really loves my dog, and does a beautiful job grooming her. I have gone from keeping Diva in a longer show coat, to shorter cropped cuts and have brought various pictures to show what I wanted, and every time I pick Diva up she looks even better than I anticipated! When I come in with a new cut to try, I always joke around that even if it doesn't look *exactly* like the picture, I'm not worried because Diva always looks beautiful when I pick her up. She also seems to be in good spirits - not tired or ""worn out"" like she did when I had her groomed elsewhere. I met Gloria as well - I'm not sure if she's Sue's assistant or a groomer herself - but she is also very sweet and accommodating, and loves Diva too!
She is always done on time, and the prices are reasonable for the area, and even for most of the outer boroughs - I live in Queens and the prices are similar there. I make the trip to Manhattan just to have Sue groom her - and the entire staff is always wonderful and very nice.
They have even managed to squeeze me in when I called last minute - I desperately needed an appointment last Tuesday (12/21) and called late Monday afternoon. By 3pm on Tuesday, Diva and I were on our way home, Diva freshly groomed and smelling great with a Christmas bow in her hair!
I always joke about this with her and the staff - but I'll never cheat on Sue!!
