Pet Groomers near Mukilteo

“My name is Allison and I have been a Camp Canine employee since June of 2018. I am posting this in response to reviews made by former employees in hopes to shed light and show people that there are in fact two sides to every situation.I am the longest standing employee at Camp Canine with 6 years of employment and as such have worked under every combination of management and owners. Including; Dr. Sue (former owner), Anne-Lise (former manager), Brenda, Jessa, and Heather (current owner and manager).Under Dr. Sues ownership, she never even knew our names or who we were. The facility never saw any needed renovations or improvements, and didn’t even have a break room for employees. Let alone she didn’t know any of the dogs. I would not call that a well oiled ship.When Heather took over the company, we immediately saw renovations get done (new turf, new bark, new paint, a real break room for staff, cleaning and decluttering, updated cleaning protocols, etc).Not only has she improved the facility, but she has also invested in her employees by paying for positive reinforcement based dog training classes and Canine CPR/First Aid classes as well, so we can all be on the same page and have knowledge about how to properly care for your dogs.As for the group of employees who were either fired, or left - I have never been made to feel more uncomfortable at a place of work in my life. They were incredibly petty, and made work very tense. If they didn’t like you for whatever reason they came up with, you were either shunned or they talked about you behind your back. I never witnessed Heather be unfair to these individuals, however she did hold them accountable for their poor attitude, actions, and call outs. Which, after not having a structured managerial team while the company was being sold, came as a shock to them.Camp has become a much more enjoyable place to work since they have left, including staff holiday parties since we all get along well now. The environment is back to being a positive atmosphere, and it’s clear that the dogs feel that positive shift in energy as well :)As far as the naps go - yes, our facility does use kennels to give naps to dogs. However, it is not because a dog is “difficult”. Naps are utilized for a lot of different reasons. We give naps for lunches, breaks (if they display poor behavior that jeapordizes the safety of the group of dogs) , if a dog is experiencing extreme signs of anxiety, or is experiencing unusual medical symptoms like coughing, vomiting, limping, etc.Our dog play yards are cleaned thoroughly every day with industry standard, pet safe chemicals. And our nap kennels and boarding area is cleaned between each and every dog.The removal of the live cameras throughout the facility was due to some of the customers being creepy, not to hide anything. I would never work for a business that was unethical in the treatment of animals.“

“We love Stephannie’s! Very kind and professional but you can tell animals are in good hands. It’s reasonably priced and the appointments can be in high demand. Finding a good groomer can be a challenge but this place is top notch! The employees are lovely too. Enjoy your experience, your pups will!!!“

“I cannot recommend Sara from Lush Pups enough! I have an older German Shepherd with really dry, sensitive skin. She’s come back from other groomers with extreme sensitivity and not wanting to be pet or touched at all. Sara listened to all my concerns and was very gentle with my dog. Afterward she kept asking for pets and didn’t want to leave the van! The care and attention received was amazing. I will definitely be booking with Lush Pups again!FYI for others in Redmond, they serve Redmond on Saturdays and some Tuesdays, so it might be best to call or text for an appointment rather than booking online.“

“My dog really enjoys going every week. It's a great way for her to socialize with other dogs.“

“Awesome experience! Highly recommend for golden doodle trims! Will be back every time!“

“The staff are so kind and thoughtful! When we dropped off our Maltese for her first overnight stay, we got regular updates and photos while we were gone. I cannot recommend them enough!“

“Indu was amazing with my cranky chihuahua. After cutting and filing his nails to perfection he managed to thank her by biting her finger. I felt horrible but Indu was so gracious about it (thank you Indu for your understanding) I highly recommend Pampered Paws!“

“Excellent service and good pricing. She did an amazing job on my border collie! Would definitely recommend.“

“I’ve been to several different groomers before and am pretty picky about where I drop my pups off for a few hours for the grooming. It’s been a challenge to find someone who understands and is patient with our rescue. Oh my goodness! I’m a fairly new customer to them, but they are amazing! I’m genuinely amazed by their care of my pups! They are efficient in communication, care with love, and, most importantly, patient with the dogs. Highly recommend!!“

“So thankful for this place and staff. Thank you for always squeezing us in and dealing with my anxious dog ?“

“Great service. We have 3 dogs and Austin did a wonderful job with their grooming. We will be back!“

“They give my Cavalier King Charles spaniel one of the best cuts he has ever had. But the big bennefit he isn't there for 4-5 hours like other places so he isn't stressed out.“

“Our dog is somewhat reluctant about going to the groomer, but the owner of Puppy Love somehow has a way of putting him at ease. He comes home, happy, clean, soft, shaved, trimmed and smelling oh so clean. We appreciate their attention to detail and understanding of our special needs dog. Highest recommendation for these folks.“

“We have been bringing our pets here for over 15 years. Nice front office, clean exam rooms and staff that shows they really care.“

“Awesome well run place with friendly and competent staff! They offer super high quality overnight boarding here and excellent grooming baths. They are on top of their game!! This is my new favorite dog boarding and grooming place!!“

“Luv this woman & her big heart! BF is a huge supporter of Seattle Dogs Homeless Program and the reason we are able to offer boarding for people with pets living thru homelessness seeking drug/alcohol tx or wanting to start work. BF set the bar high when they not only opened their arms to Seattle Dogs but to the 100s of dogs we've rescued and boarded. ? ❤️‍ “

“We brought Cici (8 yo YoChon F, timid) for her second grooming here. She loved it. Again!! We been here twice and both times we've had a great experience. Mainly, Cici comes out happy to show off, clearly they be been glowing up in the back. I went to a local Bothell groomer recently and paid $120 only to have a dirty and scared dog. Petco is awesome. This Petco has great groomers. They even got us in on Christmas EveNeedless to say, a new Lamby came home too. Like I said. Cici is over the moon and sleeping with her Lamby. She really had fun today. That's the most important. 2nd she's beautiful for Christmas. 3rd. When we were in the store I met the small animal guy and he loved them. He loves them. Finally, I met the on floor and on duty manager. She's maintaining this large store very well. I think, this is a good Petco.“

“Pet Parlor is my preferred grooming spot for my mini goldendoodle. I used to take him to an alternative spot, but they charged nearly double for the same service. I feel like they really take care to know what you are expecting out of the groom. I reduced by one star because the last two times I’ve dropped him off, they didn’t call me when he was finished and I had to call in at the 3-hour mark to check if he was done. Regardless, he always comes back looking fresh and smelling clean. My favorite is when they give his tail a little lion puff at the end! Attached a before and after photo of his groom.“

“Chloe is very attentive to my little furry babies and tries to take time out to give constructive feedback. We often receive pawsome and pawgress reports which are so adorable! We've been seeing her for a while now and she always remembers us and makes us feel so special.“
