Best Friend's Keeper Mobile Dog Grooming

"Nicks super great with our dogs! We’ve been using his services for months! One of our dogs is scared of water and he makes the whole process less stressful for our pup. Our other pup is a doodle and has to be groomed at least once a month. The groomers in town here will leave your dog in a kennel all day while they wait for their turn to be groomed. It’s great to have Nick around because I know my dog isn’t having to sit in a kennel all day. It also saves me so much time during the work day having the convenience of someone coming to my home!"

"Nick has been an answer to pray for us. Our dog Bruno is a handful when it comes to riding in cars & grooming which is unfortunate because he needs to be groomed every other month. Nick handles Bruno’s stressors so well & takes the time with him even though Bruno doesn’t always cooperate. We recently had to postpone grooming due to circumstances beyond our control which meant a shaggy dog yet Nick handled him with ease. We appreciate Nick & will definitely be a repeat customer."

"I wanted to like this mobile service as I found it convenient and safer since the dog respiratory disease came about, but for many reasons I can’t. I had stopped trimming his overall coat due to winter, but he was being cleaned up at previous groomer for feet, face and, butt. First, the mobile groomer told me my dog was not a poodle, but instead claims he is a doodle because he is “big”. I purchased my dog’s pedigree from AKC and paid registration fees for AKC. AKC does not allow doodles to be registered. My miniature poodle is the height of a miniature poodle and he is only 16lb. It’s not hard to do a google video search on YouTube to account that he is very similar to a miniature poodle. Furthermore, I find it hard to believe that the breeder has swindled AKC into thinking that a whole litter is not a miniature poodle breed. Either way, it’s rude to attempt to tell an owner that their dog is some other breed upon first meeting. Secondly, I believe that my dog was not properly brushed prior to being bathed. The only time I have ever seen my dog hair lock up in this manner is when I failed to brush him properly before bathing him myself, and even then it was only his ears that was tangled in after bathing. I was able to detangle them myself that day. He was “matted” per the groomer on his legs and belly (waived matting fee) and the groomer left his legs this way, stating it would be all day to detangle his legs. I brushed my dog the day before. It was not done with the slicker brush, but I still inspected his fur so I found it hard to believe that his hair was completely knotted terribly before a bath. He even brought my dog back to me with wet ears and wet tangled legs, not sure why he didn’t dry the ears. I had to ask him to dry my dog’s ears. My dog was literally shivering from the cold and sliding across the floor trying to dry his wet ears. Anyway, I paid the remaining balance (after initially incorrectly being told I didn’t pay a deposit). I ended up bringing my dog to petco two days later to detangle his legs because I could not, as I did not have the tools. It literally took the petco groomer 15 minutes to remove the knotting of his legs. Which just feels like this mobile groomer didn’t want to take the time to do so. Instead he told me to detangle his legs when they dried and apply Pantene. Even the petco groomer said she has never seen my dog’s hair badly tangled in that state (he has been groomed by her for the past 8 months) and she sees him every two weeks for nail trimming. She said she would guess he was not thoroughly brushed before the groomer bathed him, leading to tangling on his legs and belly. Then she shows me his hair is cut uneven and long in various places, especially his neck (cannot get good image) and between his toes. So basically I spent nearly $90 on a shoddy lamb haircut and a tangled dog post grooming. Then an additional amount for a proper brush out at petco. “Clean feet” are barley clean feet with excessive hair. His butt is nearly chopped bald with his bruised testicles of getting too close with clippers. I know my dog wiggles a lot, but if something cannot be done correctly then say that. I would never say anything that is not true in this incident, it was literally just this bad. It still baffles me that even if my dog was matted to whatever extent before the grooming - the dog was left matted AFTER the grooming and the groomer left with my $84."

"Very grateful for Nick's professional care and grooming of our dog. We had a series of family emergencies and had fallen behind on grooming. Nick was wonderful in helping us take great care of our pup! He spent extra time with her to keep her calm and thoroughly take care of her. Our dog is also very anxious, hates grooming and car rides so having Nick come to us is a game changer. Our dog loves Nick! Highly recommend"

"Nick was punctual, compassionate, and really helped me with my dog. I feel much better-educated to maintain Great Pyrenees hair/fur. He did a great job with her, being kind and also doing what needed to be done."
