For Paws Only

I would not leave my dog here for one second. On Tuesday, 8/​6, I witnessed a man beating his dog outside this place (in the back between Walgreens) and when I called the salon they acted like complete idiots and had no care in the world that a small, tiny dog was just beaten and being brought to their place of business.

I have taken our Maltese-​Pomeranian there for a while. Nothing but good stuff. She loves coming here and when she comes back it is like she had been out playing with doggie friends. They care for our pet as if it were a human customer! They are also very good in following up with us if we haven’t taken her to be groomed in a while. All around it is a professional and courteous staff that makes FPO the only place we trust with our baby.

My son took the family Labradoodle to «For Paws Only, 1681 Bonaventure Blvd, Weston FL» for her usual grooming. When my son returned home, the dog had a large patch of hair missing down to the skin on her right side. The area was 6 in long by 3 in wide, just about the size of dog clippers. Something happened while the dog was getting groomed. We took the dog to our vet to make sure her skin was not damaged. He said it was ok, but the hair would grow back dark brown not the light beige color of the rest of the coat. When we bought her we paid a premium for a Labradoodle with a uniform beige coat. Now we have a Labradoodle with a large dark brown patch on her light beige coat.
When we returned to For Paws Only, we were met by nothing but denial. «Oh no… not us»… «The dog came in that way.» What! Every excuse in the book, but not one apology. The owner down right denied any problem. Her groomer would not do that she said. When the groomer said that’s how the dog came in, I knew was dealing with a very poorly run, dishonest business where the groomers lie right to your face. You can always tell how reputable a business is by the way they handle the customer’s problems. This groomer gets 0 out of 5 stars. If I could go negative I would.
