I have been taking my girls here for about 8 years now. Joe and Taylor are amazing, along with everyone else that they hire. I have a Yorkie/Maltese (14 1/2) and a Maltese (4) that I take in every four weeks. I also had a Yorkie/Maltese that passed four years ago that went here for years as well. They area also always on time with your animals and they will let you know that instead of two hours (for my two small dogs) it will be two hours and fifteen minutes that day. When I show up, they are ready at that time. I have been to groomers that would keep my girls for FIVE hours or more, and just tell you they will call you when your animal is ready. That's just ridiculous. Both of my girls get excited when I tell them I am taking them to the groomers. They used to shake when they would first come out of the carrier, but that was just due to the strange scents and what not. Now they come out wagging their tails and crawl right to Taylor and Joe. I am constantly asked where I take my girls because their grooming is so good. I HIGHLY recommend Calming Nature. You won't be disappointed. Yes their prices have gone up, but they did not raise their prices for the longest time AND they are still cheaper than any place anyone I know takes their dogs.That is NOT a reason to give them a bad review. They also have their cancellation policy posted, they are a business and have people wanting appointments. If you cancel last minute, they can't fill that appointment. A lot of places do the same thing whether it be salons or doctor offices. Remember, if it's your first time there it might take a few times to get exactly what you want if you are picky about what you like. Joe is so great about listening to what you like, or what you don't like and will implement it for you. I have asked him to try something new just to see if I would like it and realized I did not in fact like it at all. It just ended with a "let's not do that again." Just be honest and if you don't like something and let him know if you do.
We have been going there since we got my dog. This place is amazing and I wouldn’t take Hayzel anywhere else! I’ve never had any issues and they are super friendly there and professional!
I used to always bathe my dogs myself, but found it was too much on my back (and would take me down for a day or 2 with back pain afterwards), so I started taking them to professional groomers and then only giving quick baths in between appts. as needed. I have been taking my dogs to Calming Nature since I moved to town about 5 years ago. When I first moved here, I had 2 senior great pyrenees that Calming Nature took excellent care of. After they passed, I adopted another pyrenees rescue and a bernese mountain dog rescue that had a lot of fear issues. Neither had been professionally groomed before. The groomers were so patient and gentle with my dogs that all of them love going there now and they smell and feel so good after I pick them up! People are always commenting on how nice my dogs' coats are and how beautiful and well-cared for they are. I highly recommend Calming Nature as partners for healthy, beautiful, and happy dogs!
