Furry Beginnings

Not only do we love this place, our puppies love this place. They are always so friendly, and they do such an amazing job! We have been through many groomers who claim to have to shave our pups due to matting, but I just call it laziness. They never shave our pups bare here. They always come home smelling AMAZING and with little cute scarfs or ties… literally little doggie neck ties. I also love that they do not crate them, and they keep them together.
DON’T FORGET THE BLUEBERRY FACIAL!

I really hate giving a low review because the people are so nice but the results force me to. I brought my Maltese into here for the full Gold grooming package. The we very friendly and it was well priced. The problem is once we got her back. She wa cut much shorter than we wanted, which isn’t that big of a deal. The problem began that night when she started scratching and gnawing on herself. We stayed up most of the night just trying to keep her from itching herself. The next day we checked her skin and she had blood red pores on her hairs and she wouldn’t stop scratching. We washed her and put prescription strength allergy spay on her. We spent the rest of the day holding her down to keep her from scratching herself raw. The shampoo they sell at the front counter is the same we use at home, I don’t know if they use the same kind of if it was the perfume but it was honestly a miserable experience.

I brought in my two Pugs here and they loved it! They were pampered and walked out of there smelling good and clean. Of course, that didn’t last long because those two love to get dirty. Furry Beginnings is a great place to bring your fur baby. The staff is amazing and very caring! You’ll love this place!

Major dog safety issue! I arrived to pick up my dog after receiving a phone call she was ready. She was in a cage in the center of the front part of the business along with two other dogs in separate cages. A couple was playing with the dog in the center cage (I assumed their dog.) After several moments of no employee coming from the back, I unlocked the cage and took my dog out and waited as I needed to pay.
The couple playing with the other dog slowly walked away, and asked me what kind of dog that was and how cute it was… That was when I realized it wasn’t their dog! They left the business but kept looking back as if the thought crossed their mind they could take the dog with them and nobody would have ever known!
The dog then attempted to jump out of the cage and got caught at the top of the fence, thankfully a man just came in and rescued the dog… let me point out the collar was on and the dog easily could have hung itself!
About five minutes passed before I went into the back to get an employee so I could pay and leave. She then had me wait about five more minutes as she booked an appointment over the phone as it rang as she started to ring me up!
Dog looks great… but horrible customer service and more importantly major major safety issues.
Not a safe place to take your dog based on what I just witnessed.

Wonderful! The staff is kind and friendly. My dog had never been to a groomer before and I was a little worried how she would handle it. Groomer Amy was amazing, took her time with my timid dog and catered the experience to my dog as not to scare her off from future visits. My dog did a great job and was super happy when I came to pick her up. Might have been the treats and friendly staff, but she was not ready to leave :)

This place is awesome! Our dog was well cared for, the ambiance is not too noisy, like some other places, and the staff are really friendly!

BEWARE!!! I have tried this place a few times thinking that maybe the employee was new or maybe I hadn’t communicated my expectations clearly however today was awful! My Old English Bulldog went in for a bath, clean up, nail trim (bronze package) He got a great bath and smells good however his nails are rough (they were suppose to grind them and didn’t) and his ears didn’t get touched. My second dog is a schnau-​tzu who weighs in around 5 pounds. I asked for his hair to stay long (teddy bear) style however he got chopped (REALLY BUTCHED) The stylist Darci told me that they only trim the body with electric clippers. I found this concerning as this has never been the case with any groomer before. I just paid 49.00 dollars for my dog to be fully groomed not to have a clippers raced around his body. The attached picture show what they did to my dog and the bottom left is how he normally looks. This place is Horrible…

I love, love, love this place! I’ve been taking my dogs (one ‘ginormous’ Lab, one tiny Papillon) Jessie does a great job! It’s so much easier dropping them off when I know they’re well cared for.
The business runs smoothly, the prices are reasonable and there is a genuine level of care for both pets and their owners!

Nice place. Well decorated. they have a TV for dogs to watch while they wait to be groomed. Funny!
The staff is very nice and doesn’t come bother you too much when using the self-​wash to sell you extra services for nail, special shampoo, perfume, teeth cleaning, etc…

This place is great. My dog comes back looking great. They always get me an appointment. Simply a great dog grooming operation.

They always make our two cockapoos look beautiful and take great care of them. Our girls seem to love going there!

My dog Mindy had her first grooming here since moving to Arizona. Everyone seemed very professional and Mindy looks great. I like the fact that they are kennel free. Rather opting to have pens with beds for each pet. The salon is very clean and the pricing is right where it should be. I’ll be taking my dog there again!

An absolutely amazing establishment for any pet styling you can imagine. Very courteous and professional staff that actually listen to your requests for how you would like your dog to look.
Have taken my dog in several times and have been surprised each time with how amazing she turns out each time. I HIGHLY recommend Furry Beginnings for anyone who actually wants their dogs looking amazing each time they get groomed.
Their selection of products are also amazing and they offer a self service dog wash which is by far the coolest thing I’ve seen any groomer offer and is perfect when you don’t want to deal with the mess that comes along with bathing your dog at home.
The front of the boutique also had a lot of cute clothes for any size dog you can imagine.
Furry Beginnings has kept my dog looking great and has definitely earned me as a lifetime customer.

Best groomer in Gilbert. The owners love dogs and people! The grooming is reasonable in price and the dog wash is fun for people and dogs too. They have great staff and a good selection of leashes, collars and other dog lover items.

After a few less than great trims at Petsmart I figured I’d try this place. Very clean, everyone was friendly, the shop smelled good and the other dogs there seemed happy too. I like that my dog was in a nice little play pen waiting for me rather than in a cage. Yes, I’m probably a crazy Pomeranian owner, but especially when the price is equal why not have the best for my fur baby? I got her the full service package — bath, trim, blueberry facial (don’t laugh), nail trim and filing, paw revitalizer and tooth brushing. The price was actually less than I was expecting, and my little Lola was very relaxed and happy. The service was also very quick, and they were done right when they said they would be. I’ll definitely come back next time.

It actually took me quite some time to go into Furry Beginnings because I assumed it would be like all the other pet boutiques I’ve been in with totally overpriced items. Boy was I wrong! This place is awesome. It was so peaceful… They had soft relaxation music and a flat screen TV with outdoor scenes playing. It smelled so nice and there was two very friendly dogs wandering around that helped me shop!
I started looking at the cute dog collars and literally thought the price was a mistake. To say the price was reasonable is putting lightly. I ended up buying a bunch of stuff!
The dogs that were there for grooming where not in cages but in nice x-​pens with fluffy bedding.
I highly recommend you stop in and check this place out for yourself.

Furry beginnings is the perfect place if you are looking for great customer service, quality care for your dog and an amazing hair cut. Our little Cockapoo has never looked better. We will definitely be back. The best thing is they make appts so your pup will be done in less then an hour and a half. Two thumbs up!

I love this place! I’m so glad I found them. I am very particular, as everyone should be, in the care of my dog. I want him cut a certain way. The owner and groomer took the time to talk through services, products used and to understand what I was looking for.
After about 1.5 hours they presented me with a well groomed, happy puppy.
Best grooming he has had. And he has had quite a few.
All for the same or better pricing than other places.
Great job! I highly recommend.
We will be back.

When we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff members and the owner, they all ensured before providing Scotch (our beagle puppy) with his service that he was secure and comfortable before taking him back. They were all very helpful in answering all of my questions. I recommend this place and give it a five star because the service, staff and establishment is by far better then any other Pet Groomers that we have visited in the past with our other pets. You will not be disappointed, in fact I am already looking forward to our next visit!

I took my two babies (goldendoodles) there to get groomed and asked that they get just a little cut off and they did just what I asked. It’s been so hard finding a good groomer. Most groomers cut doodles like poodles so I was very pleased when I picked up my babies and they actually still looked like doodles. So happy I found them, very pleased to say the least.
