I took my King Charles Cav last Friday for a trim. I had been letting my dogs ears grown for 6 months and they were ready for a little trim to even them out. I requested the groomer to just trim the most one inch. Omg... she chopped at least 3 inches and worse of all, she rounded the ears in LAYERS!!!!! Super uneven unprofessional. Also I noticed the legs were not even trimmed, the tail was swiping the floor (not trimmed neither), some parts of abdomen with holes. I finally spoke to manager today. While explaining my disappointment she was cutting me of with excuses. She finally apologized after

Elvis loves his groomer Miss Lil. She does a great job on my little boy. Canine carousel is very clean and organize. They send pictures of your little fur baby letting them know that they are ready to be picked up. I love the pictures

I am still so grateful for Canine Carousel! They know what they are doing, and do a phenomenal job! Couldn't be happier to support a local family owned business!

PREVIOUS REVIEW:
After such a horrible experience at Belly Rubs (see review) I was grooming my sweet boy myself to avoid such a disaster again. Well, time gets away from me, and he's not groomed properly. I tried out Canine Carousel probably a year ago? They ROCK!!!! Absolutely the best service and grooming. I love their shop too! I've purchased a lot of my boys food from them. Unfortunately, I had to switch his food, and
