I have a two year old Shih Tzu named Molly, who absolutely loathed the groomer. The first time she was groomed, she was six months old, and I took her to Petsmart. They completely shaved off all of her hair, and my brand new, fluffy puppy, looked like a hairless cat. They told me she was matted, and that a "shave-down" was the only thing they could do. Not only was I shocked at the cut they gave her, but her attitude when I brought her home was strange. She seemed very timid and shaken, not at all like how she was when I brought her in to the groomer. When her hair grew back, and it was time to be groomed, my friend recomended the groomer at the Pet's Delight store in So. Pas. Her name is Susan, and she is there on the weekends. Molly's hair was long, and I feared that another "shave-down" situation would occur, but I was "delighted" when Susan told me that she does not "SHAVE" dogs. Yes, Molly was matted, but she assured me that no matter what, she would do what was best for Molly. Her groom included her bath, nails, ears, anal glands, and cut. I was completely thrilled to find that Susan had kept her promise, and Molly looked gorgeous. Her hair was an inch and a half long, and her face was round and happy. She actually looked like a puppy, most importantly a happy matt-free puppy. Susan handed Molly to me after she gave her a kiss and a hug. Molly was obviously as thrilled as I was, as she wagged her tail and licked my face. Needless to say, Molly goes to Susan on the weekends every eight weeks, and is a very happy girl. I will never take my dog any where else. I whole-heartedly recomend Susan at Pet's Delight, she was wonderful, and most importantly, Molly loves her. As for the actual store, I have never bought a dog from there, but the puppies look happy and healthy, and the people that work there have always been lovely to Molly and I. It's a very Mom and Pop store, which I like, because it's cozy. Molly enjoys their toys, and collars.
