In the last 2 weeks we have taken both our dog and cat to pampered pet gooming. They shaved the dog instead of cleaning her up and trimming her, then complained about her behavior. The person who took her in was speaking in a very high pitched, ""lets get excited voice"" to her and then they wonder why the dog gets excited!!! Then a few days later we took the cat in (we had actually taken both the cat & dog there for the last 2 years- and aside from complaining about them each time - they did an ok job of grooming them) - so when my husband picked the cat up, she was in the carrier and he just paid them & left. They gave her and A+ for her behavior this time. I guess. She probably just sat in the carrier for the whole 2-1/2 hours she was there. Well they did take her out long enough to clip her nails. & charged $55.00 to do it (Petsmart charges $7.00 to clip them) - so anyway I called the next day because she was not clean & Lori the owner assured me that she had had an oatmeal bath & been brushed out. Well, today (3 days later - cat hasn't been outside at all) we gave her a bath. Imagine our surprise at the amount of dirt & sediment at the bottom of the tub we used, when we were done!!! not to mention the fur that came off her - of course Lori would say the fur was because she was shedding - but it would be hard to explain where the dirt came from. So if you want to traumatize your animals or pay for nothing - go to pampered pets for your grooming pleasure
Pros: can't think of any at this time
Cons: They don't do either cats or dogs very well any more
