I cannot recommend Feelin-Groovy Dog Grooming enough! I took my German Shepherd in for a bath and de-shed treatment, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Right at drop-off, the groomer spoke with me directly, which immediately put me at ease. The facility is great—you can see all the dogs in their spacious, clean kennels, which provides a lot of transparency. What impressed me most was the groomer’s knowledge of the breed. Often, groomers can be critical of GSDs due to their vocal nature or anxiety, but she was incredibly understanding of what inherently bothers them. I picked up the cleanest dog I’ve ever seen and, more importantly, a happy one. If you have an 'anxious' breed, this is the place to go!
I took my 2 Bichon girls to Feelin-Groovy yesterday based on a good friend's recommendation. To me, a Groomer is like a Doctor or Hairdresser. I get attached and hate to change! But our previous groomer was not working out and it was time to move on. I drove over from Charlotte because I would rather drive than risk taking them to someone who would not be kind to them. When I dropped them off, I was terrified. One of my girls is 14.5 with severe arthritis. The biggest thing I need from a Groomer is a gentle hand with her, but I also want her to look cute. My 3 year old has a beautiful thick coat so I want to keep her in a true Bichon cut. I know I was asking a lot of questions when I dropped them off and I was frantically telling Jaclyn about their quirks and that they will run if they get off leash. I am sure they rolled their eyes when I left. I was a nervous wreck while they were gone. When I picked them up, I was so relieved to not only see how beautiful they looked, but to see them taken care of and in great spirits! They didn't even seem as exhausted as they normally are after grooming! I am so happy with them and so thankful to have found a wonderful Groomer! Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my babies!!!!!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Jacklyn Jaclyn Feelin- Groovy Dog Grooming. My 10-year-old Australian Labradoodle, Chloe, was stung by a man-o-war jellyfish at just 6 months old, and ever since, she’s been incredibly sensitive, especially when it comes to grooming. Jacklyn is the only person Chloe trusts, and it makes all the difference. I drive 40 minutes one-way from Charlotte every five weeks just so Chloe can see her, and it is 100% worth it every time. Jacklyn is truly exceptional🩷
