Dapper Doggies Depot

A friend recommended Dapper Doggies Depot for my very anxious little dog. The groomer, Stacey, has many years of grooming experience, and most importantly she really cares about her work. She is also kind enough to donate her spare time to give extensive groomings to recent rescues, like my little man once was: matted in feces, nails never been trimmed, believe me it can be a big job.
The thing that makes her service unique is that it is done out of her home (with VERY professional equipment, she has the full set-​up), and ALL appointments are scheduled to have padding between, so that there is no overlap. That means your dog will never be left in a cage or have to be around strange dogs with lots of barking and weird smells. If you have an anxious dog this is the most important thing to make grooming low stress.
Stacey takes great pride in her work, and EVERYTHING I asked her about her process led back to one thing: the comfort and safety of my dog. She will never leave a dog on a table for even a moment where it could slip or jump, when she grinds their nails she uses a diamond head instead of emry because the emry gets too hot, she always trims the hygiene areas instead of using clippers because clippers can nick, she has like every type of scissors and clipper head you could imagine. I bet she can do custom hair color, too! I’ll ask next time.
A cool feature: during your pet’s haircut, she takes some before photos, progress photos (there is a picture of my dog hanging in a hammock to get his nails clipped, so cute), and after photos, and then they go into a gallery on her site! My little guy was very brave.
So if you have a nervous dog, a special needs dog, or a fearfully aggressive dog, Stacey will know exactly how to take care of them.
