Usually they do a good job but when I went there I told them to be gentle on the bottom but when they were done it looked like they cut it. It looked red and sore.

Good experience. Left our dog for boarding and asked to get grooming. Very friendly staff! When I went to get him I even asked if someone could help me walk him out because I had my baby with me. My dog pulls on the leash. Staff took him to my car with no issue. I really appreciate them. My dog comes out and goes in always in a good attitude. I'm so pleased with Shangri paw
