Dapper Dogs

Seriously SO happy I found Dapper Dogs! First visit was a charm… Whiskey was so happy (usually he is shy and doesn’t want to leave my side) to be there, and the space was perfect. Totally fenced in, gates so they can’t wander around the «intake» area with a couch to sit on while you wait. Also a grassy yard (fenced in) for pups to do their business before, during, or after the groom.
I sent an email with some photos of haircuts I like for my Cavapoo, and when I got there, Pam knew exactly what I wanted — even without specifically saying it. She did a great cut, and because it’s by appointment, my pup didn’t have to wait there before or after his groom. It was perfect. I really don’t like leaving my pup somewhere for 4 – 5 hours when the groom takes 1.5 –2 hours.
Service was so friendly, kind, and didn’t think I was a total crazy dog mom for bringing Whiskey’s treats. It’s also the first salon where the groomer didn’t say that Whiskey gave them a difficult time under the blowdryer. They got to know whiskey, and understood he didn’t like loud noises and worked around that. SO wonderful.

I have been taking our 2 Maltese to Pam for over 3 years now, every 2 weeks to get bathed and groomed. We also foster dogs, and when we get a new pup that is in desperate need of a groom, she always squeezes them in and takes amazing care of them! Our dogs get so excited when we get near her house, they love her that much! That means the world to me, and she does such an amazing job with their grooming. They are Shop Dogs in our fireplace shop, our customers are always asking where they go for grooming… I have sent so many of our customers to her, and everyone loves Pam just as much as we do!

First visit with my Goldendoodle went well. They errored on the cautious side which I appreciated. We went over the details of what I prefer for a cut which included leaving her precious doodle lashes. On our second visit, I found quite a few missed areas and they cut her lashes. Not pleased at all and won’t be returning.

We have been taking our two Labradoodles to Pam and Dapper Dogs for years. We have never had an issue and our dogs are excited every time they know it is time to go Pam’s. The dogs are groomed twice per month and are treated like royalty. We can tell that Pam truly loves dogs and does an incredible job. We are very fortunate we found her and are thankful for her.

My mom took my golden retriever here a couple of days ago, as a surprise for us for when we returned from vacation, and Pam absolutely butchered my dog’s coat. My mom was in fact very specific about a prior experience where a groomer had given a «summer» cut that was virtually a shave, and Pam was clear that it would just be a brush out and very light trim around the feet and ears. What actually happened was that my dog’s beautiful feathers are now all gone and will take months to grow back. My mom sent Pam an email letting her know because she felt the feedback should be shared, and Pam’s response was that she didn’t know my mom wanted a breed-​standard cut. What else would someone want? And not only was the trim my mom requested in fact a very heavy clipping, it was so badly done that I think my 5 year old could have done better. And Pam did not offer to reimburse my mom which I find to be very bad form. We will happily continue with our usual groomer out in Redmond who is amazing! I felt it was important to share this feedback on Unilocal because that is how my mom picked this groomer in the first place. At the very least please don’t take your golden retriever here!

I have a yellow lab that likes to shed, shed and shed some more. I got to the point where it was becoming unbearable and my good friend suggested I tried Dapper Dogs. I was overjoyed to have finally met Pam as she took great care of Bo and he came out of the appointment looking absolutely amazing! She also passed on some words of wisdom as to how to take care of his fur and for that I am truly grateful. Pam is an outstanding groomer and I’d recommend everybody to Dapper Dogs :)

Our little maltese has hair that can mat easily, and frankly, it’s difficult to upkeep. Pam is fantastic at taking her in and cleaning her up, shortening her to a length that we can manage, and, when we’ve kept up on her brushing, encouraging us to keep up the great work.
She is truly passionate about dogs and it shows. She is knowledgable about all the different breeds I see when picking up my own fluffster — I witness different owners with non-​sociable dogs, longer manes, shorter manes, high– maintenance this or that, and she takes it all in stride. My darling little girl always comes home sparkling clean from Pam’s organic shampoos, wearing the cutest little bows, and eager to go back.
My only recommendation is to call in advance. While she does get cancellations, she can book up QUICKLY! I always make an appointment for the next time while I’m at my current appointment.

We moved from CA recently and looking for good groomer was a huge task. Pam did amazing job. Our 12 year old Kyi-​Leo is very gentle and easily scared of anything and everything. Pam took great care of him in less then 2 hours. When I picked him up he was happily wagging his tail and looked amazing. I will be back for another appointment

Dapper Dogs is the best grooming service I have ever encountered! Pam (owner, groomer) is amazing with our dog! He’s in and out in 2 hours and always looks fabulous! My dog has had difficulties in the past with needing to be dragged into the grooming shop. Now goes eagerly and isn’t in a rush to leave when I pick him up! That says alot! Pam is an expert and is very professional and loving towards all types of dogs. I highly recommend this groomer.
