See Spot Grooming Lakewood Ranch

"I brought my Great Pyrenees there a few times, and I paid $260. I wasn't so impressed, especially since he used to get better grooming for not even half the price, but we had to leave our old groomer when we moved. I didn't even care how much they were charging, as long as they did a good job. So last time I took him there, I made sure to communicate exactly what I wanted. I asked specifically for his fur to be cut short, especially in the back. When I picked him up, I noticed right away that his fur was not cut at all. Then, a couple days later, my husband and I noticed that he had a lot of yellow plaques on his back. We freaked out because he is healthy and has never had skin issues. We took him to the vet right away, and we were told that he developed post-grooming furunculosis either because they were brushing against the hair harshly or because the tools had bacteria. I won't be turning back, but I wanted to warn others about this place."

"I visit both Lakewood Ranch and Parrish locations and always have great experiences with multiple groomers. Everyone has delivered great results with my Yorkshire Terrier."

"My first visit with Autumn for my 12 yr old Australian Shepherd was very positive. She handled her with expertise and despite the fact that my pet is so nervous with grooming, she walked out fairly calmly. Two days ago with another groomer, whose profile says she usually handles smaller dogs, my pet walked out totally stressed. The groomer left her almost the same way I took her in. I had questioned whether she would be comfortable with my older pet, and I was reassured that she would be. I don’t want to leave the groomer’s name, that’s not the point of this review. What’s important to note is that not all groomers are comfortable with all dogs and perhaps lack experience in handling certain types of dogs as in my situation. Ask questions when making your appointments so as to avoid disappointment. I also didn’t appreciate their lack of transparency and honesty when I questioned them."

"We had been going to See Spot for over a year for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel since we moved here from Michigan. Although the prices were much higher than what I was used to in Michigan ($75 vs $60) I couldn’t find a better price anywhere else so I went with them. First haircut there I was told my groomer was training someone but that it’d be 2-3 hours. Once 4 hours hit I got worried and called to ask if something happened. I was told it was just taking longer because she was training someone. I told her it would’ve been nice to have gotten a phone call notice of that. I don’t mind if you’re training someone and it takes longer, just give me a heads up. All was fine after that since I stayed for a year. However, just last month I went in and they tell me as I’m checking in the price for his haircut has increased by $10. Mind you I have my toddler in tow and someone watching my baby at home. Scheduling things is not easy so I kept the appointment. I was shocked because I got no phone call or email notice of this beforehand. His new groomer at that appointment did a great job but I brought up my disappointment with the price change communication to the manager. All she said was something along the lines of “I understand I have kids too, I’ll let your groomer know your disappointment.” With that, we decided to not return to See Spot Grooming. It would have been nice if the previous grooming price was given for that appointment one more time, an explanation was given as to why the price increased, or some kind of compensation for the next appointment. I ended up finding a place that quoted me for $60 down the road instead."
