Pampered Poodle Mobile Pet Grooming

Mobile service was excellent.

I am new to Sarasota so I had this mobile unit come because they were recommended by a friend. The woman came on time.
All my mini American Eskimo needed was a bath and brushing and her nails clipped.
I went into the van just to inspect what it looked like… not particularly clean… I thought and the radio was blaring so loud it hurt my ears… I asked her to turn it down and she just brushed off the request saying she couldn’t reach the radio??? During the coarse of her being there I went across the street to talk to a neighbor and could hear that horrible talk radio from there!!! SO obnoxious.
My Angel, that’s her name, came running into the house looking all fluffy and beautiful BUT REEKING OF PERFUME. I am allergic to perfume and started having an immediate reaction. My dog seemed to tolerate the smell ok. but I asked this groomer…
«Did you use some perfumed shampoo on my dog?»…she said yes.
I asked her WHY she didn’t ask me first, as I NEVER have those kinds of products used on my dog. I actually have them use an oatmeal hypo-​allergenic shampoo ALWAYS.
Admittedly, she did not ask and I did not say… so I was partly at fault… but once she left I started having a headache and my lips were swelling up it was so strong.
I called the main office to file a complaint and she said that this was not their standard policy… that the groomer was using a cologne that was not approved by them.
She apologized and offered to send the groomer to my house to re-​bath my dog… but Angel hates being bathed so I did not want to put her through that again. The woman at the office offered a solution of putting baby powder on the dog to absorb the odor… I tried it and it sort of worked, enough to make it tolerable till it wore off.
ALL IN ALL… NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!!
