DOGMA GROOMING + PET NEEDS REVIEWS
Just took my 14 week old puppy to Dogma to have her nails trimmed for the first time. The staff was incredibly friendly and the walk-in service was lightning fast. The man who trimmed her nails came and talked to me afterwards about how she did and what we can do at home to prepare her for nail grinding at future visits. They had some interesting toys, handling equipment, and treats - not just the run-of-the-mill stuff you see in chain pet stores. I bought a bully stick at a fair price! To top it all off, when we were checking out they said the nail trim is free for all first-timers! Awesome experience, we'll definitely be back!
I'm a cat owner that feeds my baby Primal Raw Nuggets. Deedee orders this food for me even though, due to a lack of interest, it's not something they stock, The food is perfect when I pick it up, which is really important to me because it means it was never allowed to thaw and refreeze. Everyone in this shop is friendly, professional, and accommodating. They must do a super job with grooming, too, because there are always many dogs coming and going. I LOVE this place.
The process was smooth and you could tell that the workers cared about the dogs. He looked extra handsome after grooming and even got a snowflake bow. If you need a groomer that can shape your dogs fluffy legs, Dogma is great. Parking is convenient as well as they have their own parking lot. I’m sure that would make it easier for those with large dogs. The store itself has great products as well. A good sign is that there’s no raw hide to be seen!

THE BARKING LOT REVIEWS
Took my dog to The Barking Lot for the first time recently and they did a great job! The owner greeted us at drop-off and was thorough in recommending the best cut for my mixed breed based on what I wanted done and it turned out great! The last groomer we tried did a somewhat sloppy cut and when I picked my dog up he peed himself the moment we got out the front door :( I was nervous about another groomer scaring my dog or not letting him out to go to the bathroom enough during the day while they had him but my dog was in good spirits when I picked him up from The Barking Lot! It seemed like they took really good care of him and gave him a good haircut, so I will be returning!
So glad we came here. Absolutely would not take my dog anywhere else after the amazing level of care they took with her! My pup came back looking and smelling wonderful as well. Also very reasonable prices!!!
Very pleased with all aspects of my visit. Very impressed with Nora the groomer, as she did a great job on my Lulu an 9 year old Morky that is very temperamental. She has been flagged red at 2 of the big name pet stores. With her expertise I was finally able to get lulu professionally groomed. I would definitely recommend the barking lot.

GOOD DOG GROOMING REVIEWS
I was nervous taking my puppy to a groomer for the first time but was more than pleased with the results! He looks amazing and seemed to have a great time :) When I dropped him off, the groomer said they don't like to rush but rather give each animal quality time so that they enjoy the process. I can't wait to take him back!
Best groomer in the area, hands down!! My dog has anxiety with going to the groomer and had a great time here. They took great care of him and he looks so handsome!! We will definitely be returning!!
The only place to take your loved ones for grooming. Warm and compassionate and always makes you feel like family.
