Amazing groom on our anxious boy, who seems to thrive in the daycare/ groom combined environment. Thank you so much! We will be regular customers (if you have room for us)!

Sarah takes excellent care of one very needy husky and one potato. Scooby and Friends always provide a great service on a really difficult breed to de-shed during the season changes. Extremely accommodating and well priced for hours of work.
